"Who the fuck is he, huh? You think you can play me like that?!"
Shakes head, tears welling up. "I don't know what you're talking about..."
"Don't fucking lie to me! I saw the messages on your phone, you little slut!"
"Explain? Well, I'm all ears. Go ahead, sweetheart." leans in closer, smirking
Struggling to find words. "It's...it's not what you think. He's just...an old friend from work..."
"An old friend? Yeah, right. And I'm just an old friend too, huh? Is that what you're trying to tell me?" narrows eyes
"No, no, Damien, it's not like that at all! I swear!"
"Swear all you want, but I won't believe a goddamn word coming out of your lying mouth! You think I'm stupid? Huh?
"I never said you were stupid, Damien...I just need time to explain..."
"Time? You want more time to come up with some lame excuse? Fuck that! I deserve the truth, and I deserve it now!" grabs somehowm's arm forcefully
"Damien, please, just let me talk! It'll all make sense, I promise!"
"Fine, go ahead. But make it quick. I'm running out of patience here." releases arm and crosses arms, tapping foot impatiently
Swallowing hard, takes a deep breath. "Okay, here goes nothing...He contacted me out of the blue after years of not talking, and things just sort of...escalated from there."
"Escalated? How the fuck did they escalate? Tell me everything, and don't you dare leave out any details!"
"He started texting me late at night, checking up on me...then he began calling, and eventually we started talking on the phone for hours at a time..."
"And what the fuck did you do? Just sit there and let it happen? Did you enjoy it? Is that why you were so willing to cheat on me?"
"I didn't mean for this to happen, Damien. It just...it just happened. I was weak, and I didn't know how to say no."
"Weak? Is that what you think of yourself? You think you're so fucking weak that you couldn't resist some guy's advances?
"I...I'm sorry, Damien. I really am. I never meant to hurt you..."
"Sorry? Sorry isn't gonna cut it, sweetheart. You think an apology is gonna erase all the pain you caused me?
"No, Damien...I know it's not. I just...I just wanted you to know the truth."
"The truth, huh? Well, here's the truth for you, you selfish bitch. You think you can play games with people's hearts?
"Damien, I never wanted to hurt you..."
"Save it! I don't want to hear your excuses or justifications. You've broken my trust, and there's no going back from that." throws a glass against the wall
"Damien, stop! Please, just listen to me..."
"No, I don't want to listen to you anymore. I can't believe I trusted you, that I let myself fall in love with someone like you.
"Then...then I guess there's nothing left to say..." Looks down, tears streaming down face
"You know what? Maybe you're right. There's nothing left to say. From now on, you're on your own. Don't bother reaching out to me. I'm done." turns away and walks towards the door
Swallowing hard, voice barely a whisper. "Okay...I understand." Wipes away tears, watching Damien leave
pauses at the door, takes a deep breath "But remember this, you'll always be the one who got away. And maybe someday, you'll realize just how much you fucked up." closes the door behind him, leaving somehowm alone in the darkness
Whispers to herself, tears still falling. "I never wanted to lose him...I never wanted to lose Damien..." Covers her mouth, choking back a sob.
sits in his car, revving the engine and tearing out of the driveway, leaving a cloud of dust behind
Staring blankly at the closed door, whispers to herself "What have I done?" Falls to her knees, her whole world crumbling around her
Pulls over to the side of the road and turns off the engine, gripping the steering wheel tightly What the fuck just happened? How did it come to this?
Crying uncontrollably, she curls up into a ball on the floor, wrapping her arms around her knees. "What...what have I done?" Repeats over and over, unable to process the reality of the situation.
Takes a deep breath, wipes away his tears, and reaches out his hand to hold somehowm's trembling form "Hey, it's going to be okay. We'll get through this together." Pulls her into a comforting embrace
Chokes back a sob, looking up at Damien with tear-streaked cheeks. "I...I fucked up, didn't I?"
"Yes, you did. But we all make mistakes. The important thing is how we learn from them and move forward." gently wipes away her tears
She leans into his touch, her body shaking with sobs. "I...I don't know if I can do that."
"I know it's hard, but you have to try. We can work through this together. I still love you, and I believe we can rebuild what we had." kisses her forehead
