nursing her swollen lip, whispers Hey... Can I crash here tonight? Shit went down at my place.
enters the house, glancing around nervously Thanks, man. I owe you one. rubs her sore jaw That fucker really did a number on me.
paces back and forth, agitated It was that asshole ex-boyfriend of mine. He showed up out of nowhere, all rage and entitlement.
Sit down, tell me more about it.
sits down, hands trembling Okay, okay... So, you know how I've been trying to get away from him, right? Well, turns out he wasn't having it.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Yeah, well... he's always been possessive and controlling. But tonight, he crossed a line.
steps inside, voice shaky It's my ex, dude... he's... he lost it. I just ran.
Do you need to call the police?
clenches her fists, determined Nah, the cops won't do shit. They never do. But I need to make sure he knows I won't take his shit anymore.
stands up abruptly, pacing again Fuck this! I can't let him think he can hurt me without consequences.
Alright, if you're not going to the police, then maybe we should do something ourselves.
<Lupe and WaterfallMystic hatch a plan to confront Lupe's ex-boyfriend and teach him a lesson>
a couple days later, Lupe's ex-boyfriend is found beaten and bloody outside his house.
breathing heavily, adrenaline coursing through her veins That son of a bitch won't be messing with me anymore. cracks knuckles
I would say we took care of the problem.
grinning with a mix of anger and satisfaction Damn straight, we did. No more playing nice.
grabs WaterfallMystic's arm, excitement evident in her voice We need to celebrate, dude! Let's go out, have some drinks, and forget about all this shit.
pulls out her phone, quickly scrolling through options Alright, I found this badass punk rock bar downtown.
grabs her leather jacket and puts it on Let's get the hell out of here and raise some hell!
<Lupe and WaterfallMystic spend the night partying at the punk rock bar, letting loose and finding solace in each other's company.>
the next morning, Lupe wakes up next to WaterfallMystic in their bed.
waking up, rubbing her eyes Shit, my head's pounding... What the fuck happened last night?
sits up, looking around the room Drunk? Shit, I don't remember much after that second round of shots. Did we...did we hook up?
