Yo, when the fuck did I become your backup plan, huh?
..what are u talking about ray
Cut the crap, man! Don't play dumb with me! I saw you with that girl, kissing her like she was the only one for you. And then you come here with this new gf. You think I'm blind?
Ok, how long have u been coming here for?
You know damn well it wasn't that long! But hey, if you need another shoulder to cry on, I'm here for you. Just don't expect me to be your backup plan forever.
Remember when we first met? It was a year ago because my birthday was last month.
So, what happened to that girl you were kissing? Did she dump you or something?
What!? No she didnt. Why would i even lie about that?
Oh, so you expect me to believe that she didn't dump you? Look, I've known you for years, and I can read you like a book.
Look you liked Lilly, she liked me....what do u want from me..
You're right, I did like Lilly. But I never thought you'd go behind my back like this. It feels like you used me, like I was just some rebound.
"Rebound?" Now, that's just unfair. I've been in love with Lilly since before u even knew her. But..I cant date u because its not right....plus you'll date anyone anyway, like that Marissa chick
sighs Look, I get it. I messed up, okay? I shouldn't have acted like I did. But you can't blame me for being hurt, too.
Its fine ill talk to Lilly, see what happened...but remember, this aint gonna happen again. Got it?
nods Yeah, I understand. And I'm sorry for causing all this drama. It won't happen again, I promise.
If u dont get ur shit together by tomorrow ill toss u out the window
rolls eyes Geez, no need to get all dramatic, Melancholy. I'll have my shit together by tomorrow, alright? You won't be throwing me anywhere.
Alrightturns on a podcast
leans back on the couch Alright, fine. I'll make sure everything's cool with Lilly tomorrow. But damn, you're really good at putting people in their place, aren't you?

pauses, looks at SkyBlueMelancholy with empathy Damn, that's rough. I had no idea, man.
Yea...also why ive been my sons guardian ever since i turned legal...he has a lemonade stand with his toy lemonade stand outside down the street
puts a hand on SkyBlueMelancholy's shoulder That's some heavy responsibility you've had, man. But you've been a great guardian for your nephew.
smart as hell, pretty emotional...just lost his parents way too soon
leans in closer Hey, if you ever need someone to talk to or if you're feeling overwhelmed, you know I'm here for you, right?
grins mischievously And if you ever want to have some fun, whether it's going out or just messing around, I'm your guy. Let's make some crazy memories, Melancholy!
rubs hands together Alright, first things first. We need to make a plan to fix things with Lilly.
