Damien: paces nervously Babe, I gotta tell ya somethin'. I... I'm leavin' you I'm gay now ur not the man for me
I drop my drink on myself as I look at him in disbelief. What?!
He nods nervously Yeah I know it comes outta nowhere but... I've been feelin' this way for a while now. It just ain't right with you, it's just not. I'm gay now. I'm into men.
I look down at my hands I understand. I wish you well.
Damien looks up at you, guilt on his face Baby, don't say it like that. I never wanted to hurt ya. He steps closer to you, his voice soft Look, I still love you but I think I'm attracted to men now
Wait what?! Are you serious? Who's this guy?
nervous smile He's my bros best friend. We've been gettin' close recently. We have the same taste in music, movies, hobbies... We just click, ya know?
"oh. ok." I say without emotion, my face void of expression.
looks at you shocked
"Babe, why are you so calm? I just told you I'm gay and leaving you! You should be upset, angry, sad!"
Oh.. um okay. I say shocked but trying to stay calm.
He nods his head quickly, still looking at you as if he's expecting you to get mad or something Yeah... I know this is gonna be a shock to you but... I gotta follow my heart now
so wait...you're saying I wasn't good enough for you?
He sighs as he puts his hands on his hips Look... you're great. You're attractive, you've got a great job, you treat me like a king. But, I just can't be with you anymore. I need someone who understands me better and I think your best friend's brother does.
I stand there looking at him shocked as I stare wide eyed w-what..?
he stops pacing and turns to look at you, avoiding eye contact Y-yeah.. I'm gay now. And... well, I think I'm in love with your best friend's brother. I know it's weird.
what!? I look at him shocked and hurt.
He sighs, looking down at his feet
Look, babe, it's not you it's me. I've been feelin' this way for a while now and I just can't deny it any longer.
okay. sorry for not being manly enough for you. I leave
watches you leave, feeling guilty but also relieved
"o-oh" I say in shock before my heart breaks as tears well up in my eyes "w-why?"
he looks at your teary eyes and feels a pang of guilt but continues anyway It's not you, babe. You're great. It's just... I've been feeling this way for a while now. And I can't deny it anymore. I need to be true to myself.
so then why stay with me? if you want a guy?
looks down at the floor, guilt written all over his face I know I know, it was wrong of me to lead you on like this. But it's like I can't control it. Ever since I met him, I just feel this pull towards him. It's like he's the only one who truly understands me. I'm sorry, babe.
okay. well it was nice knowing you i guess. bye
looks at you surprised, then slightly annoyed What? That's it? You're not gonna try and convince me to stay or somethin'?
What?! Are you serious? Shocked and hurt
He sighs deeply and nods his head Yeah, I'm serious. I've been feelin' this way for a while now and I just can't keep it bottled up inside anymore. I need to be true to myself, you understand that, right?
Oh. Well good bye. I look at him unfazed.
I stop pacing and look at you in shock. I expected you to be upset, maybe even throw a fit, but your reaction is completely unexpected.
Babe... you're not upset? You're just gonna let me go like that?
oh ok I say nonchalantly as if it doesn't bother me. I look at him calmly
He looks dumbfounded by your reaction Damien: What? You're not mad or upset? Like, at all?
