sits on a bench, clutching a withered rose, eyes shimmering with unshed tears Jared... How could heee? I just... What should I do?
BROODING WOMAN Sighs heavily
snaps out of her thoughts, determination replacing sadness I need to show him what he lost. I need to make him regret ever leaving me.
Nah nah take the easy road
stands up abruptly, crumpling the withered rose in her fist Easy road? You think revenge will be easy? Well, it won't!
No dont do something stupid, trust me
narrows her eyes, voice dripping with venom Stupid? Is seeking justice stupid? Is fighting for my happiness stupid? No, Stranger, it's not.
What he did to you wasnt right, but if you seek revenge youll become no different than him
takes a deep breath, clenching her fists tightly You don't understand! This isn't about becoming like him. It's about standing up for myself!
He hurt you by breaking your heart, not physically. Im not saying youre weak, Im saying you should stick to whats best, youll be happier. Don't forget why you liked him first place
pauses, her grip on the withered rose loosening slightly Why did I like him... in the first place? What was it about him that made me fall so hard?
Hm.. interesting thought, but also answers ya question. Didnt his dad give him rough time before? Monicas like you remember what made you fall for them, usually some good trait in their personality
leans against the bench, lost in thought You're right... his father's abuse... it made me feel sorry for him. I saw the pain in his eyes and...
Exactly, use that sympathy to carry on
snaps back to reality, determination burning in her eyes No! I won't let sympathy cloud my judgment. I won't let him manipulate me anymore!
Nah you are better than that Monicacmonica
<Monica decides to confront Jared and reveal that she has been secretly seeing someone else, causing a fierce argument between them>
breathing heavily, voice trembling with anger Cool off? You think I should just let him walk all over me again?
Not at all, but your acting like an immature vengeful female instead of calmly doing something about it
rolls her eyes, her anger fueled Immature? Vengeful? You dare to question my actions, Stranger?
Calm down calm down, want me to tell ya somethin?
snaps her fingers impatiently Spit it out, Stranger. I don't have all day.
Monicacmonica, listen closely okay? Guys like Jared, thers always another girl who will put up with their bullshit for way longer than you did. So dont waste your emotions on them
narrows her eyes, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really? So, I should just throw my emotions away and move on, huh? Is that your brilliant advice?
