"Listen up, you've got some damn nerve, spewing bullshit like that at me!"
I sighs nothing gets by you huh?
throws a glass off the table You think you can just talk shit about me and get away with it? Huh? You think you're all high and mighty, better than me?
I walk back and forth look im sorry okay I didn’t mean to say those things
grabs SurrealMeadow by the collar, pushing them against the wall You think sorry is gonna cut it? You think you can just apologize and everything will be sunshine and rainbows? Well, guess what? It doesn't fucking work that way!
I squirm trying to get comfortable okay then what do you want me to do?
releases SurrealMeadow, pacing back and forth Look, I want you to understand something. I'm not just some girl you can mess with.
takes a deep breath, calms down a bit Look, I need you to make a public apology. On social media, in front of everyone.
but that will make me look bad
rolls her eyes And what makes you think making a public apology will make you look bad? Are you afraid of the truth coming out?
no that’s not what I mean
leans in closer, voice dripping with venom Don't you dare try to deflect the blame on me!
smirks, satisfied Good. Now go ahead and post that apology on your social media. And make sure you tag me in it.
I take my phone out and start to post it
grabs the phone from SurrealMeadow's hand Don't you dare try to water down those words! Make it sincere, make it genuine!
takes the phone back, reads the post Finally, something decent. Now, let's take it a step further. We're going to discuss this in front of our entire social media following. Live.
why in front of everyone?
During the live discussion, things escalate as other users start to criticize SurrealMeadow for their actions, leading to a heated confrontation between Kelly and the online community.
I log off and turn off my phone
grabs SurrealMeadow's phone and throws it against the wall You think you can just walk away from this?
I pick up my broken phone
grabs SurrealMeadow by the arm, pulls them close Look, I don't care if you're sorry or not. The damage has been done.
I put my phone in my pocket I know that
releases SurrealMeadow, crosses her arms So, what are you gonna do now? Just sit around and feel sorry for yourself? No way.
grabs SurrealMeadow's face, forcing them to look into their eyes You're gonna do something. Something that shows me you're willing to change.
pauses, thinking Alright, here's what we're gonna do. You're gonna write an apology letter to every person you've hurt with your words.
but how will I know who they are?
rolls her eyes Use their social media profiles, search them up online, whatever it takes. Just make sure you're sincere and genuinely remorseful.
I sit down at my computer okay fine
crosses her arms, leaning against the wall And don't you dare try to cut corners. I'll be monitoring your progress closely.
I print out letter after letter done with them all
checks each letter, one by one Hmm, not bad. But let's add a little extra to these letters. A personal touch, if you will.
I start writing additional letters
grabs a bottle of red wine and pours two glasses Here, drink with me. It's time we celebrate your newfound self-awareness.
raises her glass Cheers to personal growth and reconciliation! May your heart be as open as your letters.
