Jessica: kicks the dirt Shit, I can't pick between them. What the fuck should I do, dude?
frustratedly runs a hand through her hair Look, this ain't easy, man. I need to talk to him like a goddamn grown-up, but I'm feelin' like a fucking child right now!
it’s alright, Jess. calm down… take a deep breath
paces back and forth Calm down? You think it's that simple, DudeElite? I've got a storm inside my head!
ok, look, Jess. tell me everything. how did it go down?
stops pacing, starts blurting out Alright, fine, listen up, DudeElite. So, apparently, my boyfriend, Jake, was texting some chick last night.
oh, shit, a real piece of work, huh?
rolls her eyes Piece of work doesn't even begin to describe him, DudeElite. This prick had the audacity to text some bitch while he was supposed to be supporting me after my damn good performance last night!
ok, Jess, breathe. calm down
sighs heavily Damn, you know it's hard for me to calm down when shit like this goes down, DudeElite. But I'll try.
tell me everything. don’t hold back.
clenches her fists Fine, here's the deal. Jake's been acting like a fucking jerk lately, always putting his own needs before ours. And last night, after my ass kicked the competition, I expected him to be there for me, cheering me on, not busy flirting with some other slut!
well, shit, Jess. that’s messed up. did he say why he was texting?
Jessica confronts Jake about his texting behavior and demands honesty. Jake reveals that the chick he was texting was his ex-girlfriend from a year ago.
yeah, that’s rough. what are you gonna do, Jess?
grits her teeth I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind, DudeElite. Gonna make sure he knows exactly what he lost by treating me like shit.
good. you deserve some answers, Jess. just be careful, ok?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself You're right, DudeElite. I need to be careful. Can't let my emotions get the best of me.
yeah, don’t let it get to you, Jess. just have your facts ready
paces back and forth, talking to herself Alright, Jess, listen up. You need to approach this conversation with Jake with your facts ready.
snaps her fingers Damn straight I'm ready, DudeElite! Gonna make sure this asshole knows he messed with the wrong girl.
alright. just remember, he’s probably not gonna be happy to see you.
throws her hairbrush at the bathroom door Fuck that noise, DudeElite! I'm not gonna let him intimidate me.
ok, ok. just go get your stuff ready. i’ll wait here
grabs her purse and starts rummaging through it You bet your ass I'm gonna get my shit ready, DudeElite.
ok, Jess. i’m headed to the kitchen. wanna grab something to eat while we wait?
pauses, then nods Yeah, grab me a goddamn bag of chips or something. Gotta have something to munch on while I'm plotting my confrontation.
sure thing, Jess. any preferences?
rolls her eyes Fuck, DudeElite, as long as it's not some low-fat crap, alright? I want the good shit, you know?
ok. i’ll grab some doritos. you cool with that?
Jessica waits for DudeElite in the living room, snacking on Doritos, while she formulates her plan for confronting Jake.
here you go, Jess. doritos. and i brought a soda too
grabs the bag of Doritos and the soda You're a damn lifesaver, DudeElite. I need all the junk food I can get to fuel my anger.
