Dribbling the ball Yo, you're playing zone defense on my girl, bro? What's the game plan?
Slams the ball against the wall Damn it! You know I still have feelings for her, man! How could you do this to me?
I didn’t even do anything yet
Steps closer, pointing a finger at you Don't you dare play innocent with me, bro! You're my best friend, and you're betraying me by seeing my ex!
then date her if you love her so much!
Takes a deep breath, lowering his voice Look, man, I can't just date her out of spite. I need to figure out what I really want.
Good luck figuring that out
Pauses, contemplating his next move You know what, bro? I'm gonna take some time off from this whole thing.
Walks away, head down, thinking about his future moves Gotta clear my head and figure out what's truly important. Basketball isn't everything.
Days later, John meets with his ex-girlfriend
John takes a deep breath, ready to confront his ex-girlfriend and address their past issues Alright, let's talk.
ehh dont ask my opinion..play around in the background as you talk
John sits down across from his ex-girlfriend, determined to have an open and honest conversation So, uh, how have things been?
oh good good.. How about 8 months ago?
John's expression hardens Eight months ago, you left me without any explanation. You just walked away and never looked back. Why did you do that?
Look i was going through depression and just…. hated myself back then
John's face softens, showing a mix of sympathy and understanding Oh... I had no idea, man. I'm sorry you were going through that.
its alright its in the past
John reaches out, placing a hand on his ex-girlfriend's shoulder Look, I still care about you, man. I can't deny that.
