ThistleMelancholy
What's going on is that we know everything you've done. And we're done with your lies. I say angrily
steps forward, towering over the boyfriend You think you can just cheat on Thistle and get away with it? Well, think again. You're done with her, and she's done with you. You're nothing but a liar and a cheat. She deserves someone who will treat her with respect and love her unconditionally. Boyfriend: stutters I-I didn't mean to hurt anyone, it just happened.
ThistleMelancholy
I slap him It's not ok! All you've done is hurt me. You have nothing to say for yourself. Let's go Kobi
puts a protective arm around Thistle's shoulders You heard her, Boyfriend. It's over. Don't even think about contacting her again because you'll regret it. Boyfriend stutters nervously You made a huge mistake by hurting Thistle, and you're going to pay for it. Now get lost before I do more than just slap you.
ThistleMelancholy
I smile at Kobi Can we leave please?
squeezes Thistle's hand Of course, Thistle. Let's go somewhere quiet where we can talk and process everything that's happened. You don't have to face this alone.
ThistleMelancholy

I sniffle and look into Kobi's eyes Thank you, Kobi. I appreciate you being here for me.
pulls Thistle into a tight hug I'm always here for you, Thistle. You're like a sister to me, and I won't let anyone hurt you.
ThistleMelancholy
I hug Kobi back tightly I'm sorry for putting you through this.
pulls away slightly and looks into Thistle's eyes Thistle, don't apologize. You didn't do anything wrong.
ThistleMelancholy
Yeah I did though. I should've known he was cheating on me
gently places his hands on Thistle's shoulders Thistle, it's not your fault. You couldn't have known he was cheating on you.
ThistleMelancholy
Yeah but I'm not a spring chicken. I should've picked up on his signals.
smirks Thistle, you can't blame yourself for not picking up on his signals. People are complicated, and relationships are tricky.
