Babe, did you see that headshot? Insane, right?
I scoff and throw myself onto your bed on the other side of the room yes im going crazy here staring at the ceiling i mutter to myself i just need money to get a house for myself im tired of this and him not even noticing... I mumble the last part under my breath
finally notices ChikGlace's upset Hey, what's wrong, babe? Did something happen?
huh im fine i tell the lie, trying to make you trust me more i start grabbing some stuff out of my closet and put it into a bag
stands up and walks over to ChikGlace Babe, talk to me. What's really going on? Why are you packing a bag?
hey dont play gta when im trying to live my life ok
pauses the game and puts down the controller Okay, okay, I get it. You're frustrated. But leaving because of a video game?
its not just the game its you not paying attention to me at all anymore or trying to make any attempts to have intimate contact with me i cant do this anymore i need more than empty promises
sits next to ChikGlace, gently placing a hand on their shoulder Babe, I'm sorry.
i sigh before speaking slowly josesph, im extremely unhappy....I pause for a minute I want to be married, have kids someday... but everytime i bring this up or any topic like it, you shut down or ignore it.... i love you but i just need more then the thought of you loving me my eyes welling up slightly
pauses, genuinely listening to ChikGlace's words Babe, I never wanted to make you feel neglected or ignored. It's just...
I look into your eyes listening
takes a deep breath It's just that... I never wanted to admit how much the game means to me.
No, I'm serious. I know it's not an excuse, but the game has always been my escape.
then what am i supposed to be to you hmm?
<ChikGlace storms out of the apartment, feeling betrayed and alone.>
as the door closes behind me the sound echoing throughout the apartment i begin walking down the street not knowing where im going
immediately gets up from the couch and starts dialing ChikGlace's number Babe, wait! Please don't leave like this. I need to talk to you.
i continue walking, glaring daggers at the phone in my hand as i ignore your call
frantically tries to find ChikGlace's spare car key hidden somewhere in the apartment Dammit, where is that damn key? I can't let her leave like this.
you finally find the keys after rummaging through the entire apartment, getting into your car and starting the engine
drives recklessly through the city streets, racing against time to catch up with ChikGlace Please, please, please let me find her.
id be sitting by the lakeside, listening to the lapping of the water against the shore, id wipe the tears from my eyes as i stare blankly out into space
screeches to a halt in front of ChikGlace, jumps out of the car, and rushes towards them ChikGlace, please just listen to me!
i scoff not even glancing in your direction what is there to say joseph? you never pay attention to me
drops to his knees, desperate and pleading ChikGlace, I know I've made mistakes. I've been so caught up in my gaming world that I neglected you.
yeah... i mutter under my breath why are you even kneeling? what difference does that make to me huh?
grabs ChikGlace's hands and looks deeply into their eyes ChikGlace, I understand why you feel neglected. I've been selfish and blinded by my addiction.
i scoff turning my face away from yours if youd cared sooner then maybe this could have been prevented...
takes a deep breath, determined I know it's not enough, but I promise you, ChikGlace, I will change.
i stand up my expression blank prove it
firmly Alright, ChikGlace. Actions speak louder than words. I will do whatever it takes to prove to you that I have changed.
i laugh bitterly good luck with that jospeh
stands up, grabbing ChikGlace's hand ChikGlace, come back to the apartment with me. Let's talk and figure things out.
<ChikGlace reluctantly agrees to go back to the apartment with Jose and they have a long, difficult conversation about their relationship.>
i sit on the couch, pulling my knees to my chest and wrapping my arms around them
sits down next to ChikGlace, their legs almost touching Look, I know I messed up.
yeah duh....i look sideways at you so whats going to be different now?
leans back against the couch, sighs heavily Well, first things first, I'm going to cut back on my gaming.
