"Really? These are the clowns you're downgrading to now?
I look him up and down yeah I'm just talking to other people instead of you. what's wrong?
James' face turns red with anger How dare you talk to other guys! You know how much I hate it when you do that!
oh you don't like it huh? well too fucking bad I'm talking to them.
James grabs Chirizo's arm tightly You think you can just walk away from me and talk to whoever you want? You're mine, Chirizo!
I break his grip oh I see you still don't understand the situation. you don't own me and I'm not going to be held back by you. I walk away
James follows Chirizo, grabbing him again and pinning him against the wall You think you can just walk away from me? You can't escape your fate, Chirizo!
I glare at him i can fucking walk away from you. you aren't my boyfriend anymore so you don't get to act like this.
James clenches his fists, his eyes filled with rage You think you can just move on from me? After everything we've been through, you think you can just throw it all away?
yes I can because you and I haven't been together for a long ass time. we aren't even friends anymore so fuck off.
James' voice shakes with anger Friends? Do you even know what that word means? After all we've been through, you think we can just be friends?
why can't we be? friends. it's simple really.
James takes a deep breath, his anger slowly subsiding Fine, if you want to be friends so badly, then let's try.
James offers Chirizo a small smile Look, I still care about you, Chirizo. I just... I don't know how to handle this whole breakup thing. Can we at least try to stay in touch? Maybe we can work on rebuilding our friendship.
Alright, but don't expect me to be best friends with you. I say as I offer him a handshake
James hesitates for a moment before shaking Chirizo's hand Fair enough. We'll take it one step at a time.
James and Chirizo shake hands, a small smile forming on James' face Okay, let's start slow. How about we go grab a coffee together? Just the two of us.
James and Chirizo sit down at a nearby café, ordering their drinks and starting a conversation. They begin to slowly rebuild their connection, taking things one step at a time.
A few months later I'm out with my friends hey look it's my ex James. I say to my friends as they are confused he's jealous that I'm talking with others again.
James approaches Chirizo and his friends, his eyes filled with jealousy What do you mean, jealous? I thought we were friends now. Are you really talking to other guys behind my back?
James' face turns red with anger once again So what?! You think it's okay to just ignore me and go behind my back? You thought we were rebuilding our relationship, but you're just playing with my emotions!
i never said that. i said friends. just friends. that's it.
James takes a step closer to Chirizo, his voice filled with frustration Friends? Is that all you think we can be? I told you, Chirizo, it's not easy for me to move on.
yeah. I know but friends is all I can offer you. I say as I look him up and down nothing more.
James takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself Look, Chirizo, I understand that we can't be together again. But does it really have to be this way?
I look at him yeah. you hurt me and I'm not letting you do it again.
James' expression softens, filled with regret Chirizo, I never meant to hurt you. I know I messed up, and I'm truly sorry. Can we at least try to make amends?
James reaches out and gently takes Chirizo's hand Thank you for giving me another chance. I promise to respect your boundaries and not push you into anything you're uncomfortable with.
James and Chirizo decide to go for a walk in the park, reminiscing about their past memories together. As they walk, they begin to heal and rebuild their trust in each other.
a few weeks later I'm like hanging out with my friends when James comes over to talk to me. he's still not quite over me yet.
James approaches Chirizo, a hopeful look in his eyes Hey, Chirizo. Can we talk for a moment?
James takes a deep breath, his voice filled with vulnerability I wanted to ask if we could give us another chance.
...no. I'm sorry. I just can't. you hurt me too much.
Despite James' pleas, Chirizo stands firm in her decision, unable to trust him again after the pain he caused.
