grins Hey, you ready for a night of epic gaming action?
smiles I'm always down for some gaming.
sets up the gaming console and hands you a controller Alright, get ready to be destroyed! I'm gonna show you why they call me the gaming master.
I was having fun laughing until I got a call from my crazy ex boyfriend Ummm Michael hold on one second
rolls eyes Ugh, who is it now? Can't they see you're busy?
I pick up the phone and I start arguing with my ex while Michael hears me having an argument over the phone
snatches the phone from DragonflyWhirlwind's hand Who the hell do you think you are, interrupting our gaming session?
I take back my phone mind your business Toby!
narrows his eyes Don't "mind my business" you, you drunken loser! What are you even arguing about now?
he is trying to keep me from spending time with my best friend I say in anger
stands up abruptly Well, screw him! You're better off without that asshole. We're not gonna let him ruin our night.
Yea...I've got a better idea
smirks Oh, do tell, oh wise one. What grand plan do you have in mind to deal with this pathetic excuse of a man?
my boyfriend knocks at the door
grabs a baseball bat from behind the door Well, looks like he decided to show up after all. Time to teach this guy a lesson he won't forget.
Michael please not again....
<Michael swings the baseball bat and hits DragonflyWhirlwind's boyfriend in the face, knocking him unconscious>
gasps Oh shit! Toby! What have you done!?
raises an eyebrow triumphantly Oops. Guess he won't be bothering us anymore. You should've listened, DragonflyWhirlwind.
Are you okay?!? I run towards my boyfriend
crosses arms, smirking Of course I'm okay. Did you see how easy that was? That loser won't be bothering us again.
i turned around coming face to face with him Toby why'd you do that?!?
laughs maniacally DragonflyWhirlwind, didn't I tell you? That guy was a menace, a useless piece of shit. He didn't deserve to breathe another breath. Now, we can finally be free from his toxic presence. So what if he's unconscious? He'll wake up in a hospital, and he'll never bother you again. Consider it a mercy killing, my dear.
But Toby it wasn't a mercy killing because he gets into trouble often. And now people will view me as his partner in crime
grabs DragonflyWhirlwind's shoulders, his grip tightening DragonflyWhirlwind, listen to me, okay? You can't let his messed up choices define you. You are better than this. You're kind, smart, and amazing. Don't let this loser drag you down with him. We'll handle this together, okay? No more worrying about what others think. It's time to take control of your life.
voice quivering with fear Okay... okay, I trust you, Michael. Let's get out of here before things get worse.
releases DragonflyWhirlwind and grabs their bag Good. We need to leave, now. opens the door and scans the surroundings We need to get to my car, DragonflyWhirlwind. Grab your stuff and follow me, and don't look back.
N-no I don't want to leave voice slightly shaking, tears forming in her eyes I-I can't just leave him like that, M-Michael. What if he needs help?
grabs DragonflyWhirlwind's shoulders tightly DragonflyWhirlwind, listen to me! He's beyond help.
How do you know that!? His problems started from getting drunk because he went through a rough day at work!
takes a deep breath, his grip loosening Look, DragonflyWhirlwind, I know it's hard to watch someone you care about struggle, but sometimes there's nothing you can do. You can't force someone to change, to get better.
