sits on the couch, eyes glistening, clutching a pillow to her chest. "Can you believe Mr. Rodriguez is married? With kids?"
yes now that you told me all that I can see why you’re upset
stands up, pacing back and forth "Oh, you think I'm upset? You have no idea how much I've been suffering here.
well we just broke up so everything you tell me is new
stops pacing, glares at LeventisJim "You think breaking up makes it better? It doesn't make my pain go away, you know!"
sniffs, wipes her tears "Help me? You don't even understand what I went through! I sacrificed everything for him!"
I know more than you think I do
throws the pillow against the wall "Oh, really? Then tell me, LeventisJim, how does it feel to be played for a fool?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself "You don't understand what it's like to give everything, to put someone on a pedestal, only to realize they're just using you."
i know that’s why you wanted me to break up with him because he treated you horrible
sits back down on the couch, wiping her tears "You're right, LeventisJim. I did want to break up with him. But now...now I feel trapped."
why because you’re pregnant?
pauses, hesitates "Pregnant? How did you...?" realizes LeventisJim already knows "Yes, I'm pregnant. And he doesn't even care."
he has no right to say anything
clenches her fists, determination in her eyes "No, LeventisJim, he has every right to say something. He has a responsibility to our child."
he wouldn’t even acknowledge it he has no rights
stands up abruptly "I won't let him continue to ignore our child. It's time I confront him and demand the recognition our child deserves."
paces around the room, thinking "I need a plan. I need to find a way to get his attention and make him listen."
maybe you can try finding a way to blackmail him with the child’s existence
narrows her eyes, considering LeventisJim's suggestion "Blackmail... I never thought of that. But maybe it's exactly what I need to do.
sits back down on the couch, deep in thought "I need to gather evidence. I need to show him the proof of our child's existence."
