Sitting on the sofa, head in hands She's out again, man. Didn't even invite me.
" What about her? Ty time for a girls night"
Looks up at sputterm, a pout on his face She knows how much I hate being left out. But she just doesn't care anymore, I guess.
Raises an eyebrow and chuckles Well, that might be a bit dramatic, but it could work. Maybe I'll give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion!
"Yea no problem, hey you want some pizza?"
Leans back on the sofa and nods Yeah, pizza sounds great. You know what kind I like, right?
"I do, hold on I'll order it" I go to the phone and order a pizza
Watches sputterm order the pizza, his expression softening Thanks, man. I appreciate it. Leans forward and rests his head on sputterm's shoulder
Sighs heavily It's just...it's hard, you know? Feeling like I don't matter to her anymore. I try to be there for her, but it feels like she's just..
"Shh shh shh calm down take a deep breath okay where did this come from?"
Takes a deep breath and looks up at sputterm Sorry, man. It's just been building up for a while now.
"Hey hey no worries, want to watch a movie or something?"
Nods, his voice still soft and slightly shaky Yeah, watching a movie sounds good. Anything to take my mind off things for a while.
<As they watch the movie, Tyler starts to tear up, realizing he needs to confront his girlfriend about their issues>
Halfway through the show Tyler leans over crying into the couch
sniffles and wipes away his tears Man, I can't believe I'm crying over this crap. I need to toughen up.
"Guys guys its fine" I put my arm around him
leans into sputterm's embrace, sniffles Thanks, man. It means a lot to have someone here for me.
wipes away his tears and sits up straight, determination in his eyes You know what? Screw it. I'm not gonna let her push me around anymore.
stands up abruptly I'm gonna call her right now and tell her exactly how I feel. No more holding back.
grabs his phone and dials his girlfriend's number, his hand trembling slightly It's time to set things straight.
He talks for a while then hangs up
throws his phone onto the couch Fuck! She had the nerve to dismiss all my concerns and say she'll "get back to me later!" Like I'm just supposed to wait around forever!
paces back and forth, clenching his fists I'm not gonna stand for this shit, sputterm. I deserve better than this!
takes a deep breath, determination shining in his eyes I've made up my mind. I'm done with her games. It's time to move on and find someone who deserves me.
