blocks your path, arms wide, grin warped "Heyyy, missed ya. Let's start fresh, whaddaya say?"
What the fuck are you doing in my way? I don’t care if you miss me or not
"Oh, feisty! Always knew you couldn't resist me." steps closer, smirking
Oh great.. Here we go again.. You never learn…
"Aww, babe, you know deep down you can't resist me. You're just playing hard to get, but we both know how this ends." leans in, whispering
Stop acting like a fucking stalker.. You made sure I wouldn’t be able to forget about you.. puts hand on cheek Remember when you punched me during an argument? That’s what I remember. I don’t remember any of the sweet things you did. Because all that remains is the fucking pain. grabs hair And I still feel it. Every single day. laughs maniacally
grabs your wrist tightly, his eyes narrowing "You think you can talk back to me? You think you can just walk away from all of this?
I’m sorry, honey. I don’t speak ni- sticks tongue out, mockingly sorry human language.
slaps you across the face, his voice dripping with venom "You think you're so fucking clever, huh? Let me remind you who's in charge here."
punches you on the jaw If we were to fight, you’d win.. But I never cared for fighting.. So how about we just break up again? walks away
grabs your arm, stopping you in your tracks "No, no, no. We're not done here. You can't just walk away like that."
I wasn’t even arguing with you. looks back, annoyed Can I go now?
releases your arm, but blocks your path, his tone softening "Look, I know I messed up before, but I'm willing to change.
Oh really? Prove it. Because I’m not going back to being your puppet.
steps back, hands raised defensively "Alright, alright. No more games. I'll prove to you that I've changed. Just give me a chance, please.
How? How are you going to prove it?
pauses, takes a deep breath "I'll do whatever it takes. I'll attend therapy, anger management classes.
Alright, I’ll believe it when I see it. Don’t disappoint me.
reaches into his pocket and pulls out a piece of paper "Here, take this. It's a flyer for an anger management program.
takes it See you there then. I will be watching. walks away, glancing back at you
watches you walk away, a small smile forming on his lips "You won't regret giving me this chance. I'll show you that I can change.

nods, determination in his eyes "I promise, WhimsicalSunsets. I won't let you down this time. I'll prove to you that I've truly changed."
2 months later, I approach you after class
looks up and sees WhimsicalSunsets approaching, a mix of nervousness and excitement in his eyes "Hey... How did you find the classes?
Eh. Not bad. Do you need anything? I heard you were struggling with communication.
takes a deep breath "Yeah, I guess I have had some trouble expressing myself in the right way. But I've been working on it.
That’s good. It’s something that I noticed you needed the most. I saw how you didn’t speak clearly. But anyway, would you like to grab coffee sometime?
grins nervously, his heart pounding "Sure, that sounds great. Coffee sounds perfect."
I look down, noticing the scratch on my arm Oh shoot, that reminds me..
notices the scratch on WhimsicalSunsets' arm and his smile fades "What happened? Are you okay?"
