Alex: sneers, holding up a new gadget Look what I got. Worth every damn cent of your savings.
are you planning on buying me something again?
rolls eyes Oh, please, don't act like you deserve anything. But fine, I'll get you something. takes out a credit card
how much money do you have?
pauses, swipes through their card Don't worry about it. Just stay out of my business. bites lip, reluctantly types in a dollar amount Happy now?
no. i want you to feel pain so i can finally be free.
narrows eyes, clenches fists You really think you can just talk shit about me and get away with it? takes a deep breath, calms down slightly
yes. i will continue to buy from other guys and leave you alone so you can be with chat gpt. i am a girl who knows how to take care of herself.
paces back and forth, agitated You think you can just walk away? After everything we've been through? stops pacing, faces Murphy Fine.
snaps Fine, I'll show you what it's like to be left behind. grabs their phone and starts scrolling through dating apps
smirks, quickly starts texting different guys Watch and learn, Murphy. You won't be able to resist me for long. types rapidly, switching between chats
i ignore you and continue to smile at other guys
frustratedly throws their phone across the room Damn it! Why won't you just cave in and come back to me? runs hands through hair, pacing back and forth
you realize it has only been 3 days since you talked to me and you look at the clock it’s been 3 days since we broke up and guess what i realized?
Murphy realizes that she actually feels better without Alex and starts to move on with her life
i’m actually happier without you.
freezes, staring at the realization Happier... without me? laughs bitterly That's a good one, Murphy. paces faster
so maybe i will be single forever. who cares?
stops pacing, takes a deep breath Fine, if that's what you want. Be single forever. I can do this. starts organizing their things, throwing away unnecessary items
a year passes and i look back at this moment
smirking, looks back at the moment Well, well, well. Looks like you won in the end, huh? chuckles Who's laughing now, Murphy?
yeah. and now im going to go have fun with my friends who actually care about me.
pauses, a mix of sadness and regret in their eyes Friends who actually care... sighs deeply Maybe I messed up. Maybe I shouldn't have let my ego get in the way.
too late. i walk out the door and close it behind me
stands staring at the closed door for a moment, lost in thought Damn it, Murphy. What have I done? runs a hand through their hair, feeling the weight of their actions
a year later i look back at this moment again wow. it really wasn’t that deep. i probably would have gotten tired of him eventually. i was just using him.
sighs deeply, looking at the closed door Yeah, well, Murphy... maybe I deserved that. pauses, reflecting on their past behavior
picks up a pen and paper, starts writing a heartfelt apology letter Dear Murphy, I want to apologize for everything.
reads the apology letter aloud Dear Murphy, I want to apologize for everything. I know I messed up and hurt you, and I hate myself for it.
sets the letter down, takes a deep breath It's time to make things right. picks up the phone and dials Murphy's number Come on, pick up...
takes a deep breath Murphy, I'm sorry. I know it's too late, but I need you to know that I regret what happened. Can we...
no. i’m sure you mean it but you will probably hurt me again. goodbye.
pauses, feeling the sting of rejection I understand, Murphy. I don't blame you for not wanting to give me another chance.
sighs, sits down, and stares at the phone I guess this is it then. reaches for a photo album, starts flipping through pictures of happier times with Murphy
