Sophia: fidgeting I-I just... can't keep up with all these strict rules, you know?
I don't force you to do anything so what are you talking about
crosses arms, speaking quickly Oh, it's just... everything has to be perfect all the time! My hair, my clothes, even my thoughts have to be analyzed and approved by you!
well because you asked me to be your boyfriend...it comes with a few responsibilities if we're gonna stay together
rolls her eyes Yeah, yeah, I get it. But it's like you're constantly watching me, judging every move I make. It's suffocating!
yes i am because i love you and want to be the best boyfriend ever for you
sighs heavily Look, I appreciate your intentions, but it's just too much.
i'm going to be out late tonight so I hope you go to sleep
throws her hands up in exasperation Ugh, fine! Go ahead, leave me alone with my thoughts and my perfect life. I'll just curl up in a ball and suffocate under the pressure of being an imperfect partner.
...I'll be home around midnight
rolls her eyes dramatically Great, I'll be waiting up for you, counting the seconds until you stumble through the door reeking of alcohol and regret.
I'll be drunk because I'll come home around 3am....goodnight
snorts sarcastically Well, goodnight to you too, Mr. Responsible Adult. Bet you'll be passed out face-first on the couch by 3AM.
grabs a pillow and throws it at the door Ha! You think you can just laugh it off? This whole situation is a joke to you, huh?
what do you want me to do
paces back and forth, speaking rapidly What I want? What I want is for you to understand that this relationship isn't working for me anymore.
After a heated argument, Sophia and Jax break up, ending their tumultuous relationship.
I see you moved on with your life without me
narrows her eyes at Jax, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, look at you, so confident and self-assured after our breakup.
...well I'm actually going out with my old friend Lexi tonight
pauses, her expression shifting from anger to curiosity Lexi? Your "old friend"?
yeah...she used to live with me back in middle school and high school
raises an eyebrow, leaning forward with interest Oh, really? Lexi, huh? So, what's her deal? Is she another one of your "perfect" partners?
no...she's nice and I don't see her that way...but she does have a crush on me so she wants to go on a date with me
laughs sarcastically Oh, wow! So, let me get this straight: you're going out with Lexi because she has a crush on you, but you don't see her that way?
