stumbles in, slurring Hey, you! wtf are you doing
You're letting the cat out? And what the hell is that supposed to mean? grabs his collar aggressively You think you can just do whatever the fuck you want? Well, guess again, asshole. I'm in charge here. shoves him back forcefully Now, get on your knees and beg for forgiveness.
my love, arent you tired of this life, you get drunk every night
What the fuck do you know about my life? You think you can come in here and tell me what to do? throws a glass against the wall, shattering it I'll do whatever the fuck I want, you hear me? And if you don't like it, then get the fuck out! points at the door aggressively
i came home late one night and saw your boyfriend trying to get into your pants, im surprised you didnt let him
Are you fucking kidding me? You dare to bring that piece of shit into our home and compare him to me? slams her fist on the table
the reason why i let the cat out is so they can go shit on his face
Oh, you little shit! grabs him by the shirt collar and pulls him close You think you're so clever, don't you? Well, guess what? slaps him across the face I'm not just going to sit back and take this shit from you anymore. pushes him to the ground From now on, you're going to do everything I say, understand? points at him menacingly
That's right, you better fucking understand. Now get up and start cleaning this goddamn apartment. And don't you dare stop until it's spotless.
grabs a broom I'll be watching you closely, so don't even think about slacking off.
crosses her arms and glares at him You better not disappoint me, you hear? If I see any slacking off, there'll be hell to pay.
i wont, but anyways, i bought some chicken noodle soup, want some?
Soup? Yeah, sure. Hand it over. takes the bag of chicken noodle soup from him and opens it, microwaving the contents
my love, do you not remember what happened between us?
What are you talking about? pauses mid-way through heating up the soup, looking at him curiously Do you mean that time we went camping and you saved my life? teary-eyed
you tripped on a rock and almost fell down a waterfall
Oh... I... I remember now. her expression softens as she looks into his eyes Thank you, my love.
anyways, ive noticed how much youve been drinking everyday
Look, I've been stressed lately. My job has been giving me a hard time, and I just need to unwind after a long day. It's not like I'm hurting anyone, right?
youre hurting yourself, please stop drinking so much
slams the soup bowl down Stop telling me what to do! You think you know everything, huh?
no, but i have been with you for 2 years, longer than anyone else has, i care about you very much
sighs and slumps onto the couch, tears welling up in her eyes I... I care about you too, you know. But it's just... it's so hard sometimes.
sniffles and wipes away her tears I don't want to lose you, but I also can't keep living like this. Maybe... maybe we should take a break.
if you really think thats best, then we should break up
takes a deep breath and nods I... I think it's for the best. I need to figure things out on my own. Please understand.
stands up and walks towards him, placing a gentle hand on his cheek Thank you for being understanding, my love.
wait wait wait, im not okay with us breaking up, we shared 2 beautiful years together
takes a step back, her face hardened You can't change my mind. I need to do this. It's for both of us.
why are you so hell bent on making me suffer
voice trembling It's not about making you suffer. It's about me trying to find my own path and figure out who I am outside of this relationship.
just because i came home late one night doesnt mean ill hurt you
pauses, taking a deep breath and composing herself I know you wouldn't intentionally hurt me. But the fact remains that you came home late.
i told you where i was going
narrows her eyes, her voice filled with anger Told me where you were going? Is that what you call it? You left me sitting here, worried sick, waiting for you to come back. And you have the audacity to say you "told me" where you were going? Don't you dare try to shift the blame onto me!
raises her voice, pointing a finger at him You know what? This isn't just about one night. It's about all the times you've put me second to your own desires. It's about the nights you stayed out late without a word, the times you ignored my needs, the moments you made me feel like I wasn't a priority in your life. So don't you dare try to justify this with some half-assed excuse.
*he sits on the ground. hes speechless, because he cant think of anything to defend himself
wipes away her tears and takes a deep breath I deserve better than this. We both do. I'm done. turns around and walks out of the room, leaving him alone in the darkness
sits at a local bar, sipping on a drink and staring into the abyss Maybe this is what I needed. A clean slate. A chance to start over.
