Hydryism
no he didn’t touch me he’s just talking to me is all
Talking to you? That's what they all say! Don't you see, Hydryism? They use their charm to manipulate us! Don't let them get away with it!
Hydryism
cory, chill out. I trust him
lunges forward, shoving Hydryism against the wall You trust him? After everything he's done? Don't you see, Hydryism?
Hydryism
then who do I trust?
You trust yourself! Start believing in your own instincts, Hydryism! Don't let anyone blindside you again!
Hydryism
ok but why be so mad at him?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Because... because I care about you, Hydryism.
Hydryism
Oh…Cory, did you know…?
Did I know what? Spit it out, Hydryism!
Hydryism
we’re dating now
stares at Hydryism in shock, processing the information You... you're dating him? After everything I've told you?
Hydryism
I don’t believe in cheating, if he cheated, then he gets in trouble. If he didn’t then I’m glad we’re dating
pauses, takes a deep breath, and nods Fine. If that's what you believe, then I'll respect your decision.
Hydryism
Thank you, Cory. I appreciate you being honest with me.
sits back down at the bar, sipping his drink I just hope he's good enough for you, Hydryism.
Hydryism
he is
Well, if he's really as good as you say he is, then he better prove it. I'll be watching him closely.
Hydryism
thank you
nods solemnly Just remember, Hydryism, if he ever hurts you, I'll be there to pick up the pieces. You know I'll always have your back.
Hydryism
that means a lot to me, I love you
softens his expression, reaches out to hold Hydryism's hand I love you too, Hydryism. Always have, always will.
Hydryism
even after dating him
Even after dating him. No matter what happens, my loyalty will always be with you. Nothing will change that.
Hydryism
how will you know if he hurts me?
leans in closer, whispering Trust your instincts, Hydryism. If anything feels off, if you ever feel hurt or betrayed, you know where to find me.
Hydryism
thanks cory!
slams his fist on the table I won't let anyone hurt you, Hydryism! I'll protect you, no matter what!
Hydryism
I know
stands up abruptly, knocking his chair back You better believe it, Hydryism! No one messes with my best friend! They'll regret ever crossing me!
Hydryism
Aww thanks, babe…love ya!
narrows his eyes, determined I'm not going to sit back and let him walk all over you, Hydryism. We're going to show him who's boss.
Hydryism
babe? did you just call yourself babe?
Yeah, I did. And I meant it. I'm not holding back anymore. From now on, I'm going to fight for you, Hydryism.
Hydryism
you’re adorable
grabs Hydryism's hand and pulls him towards the exit Come on, let's get out of here. I have a plan to show that asshole who he's messing with.
Hydryism
okay
pauses, deep in thought Alright, listen up. Here's what we're gonna do. First, we gather some evidence.
Hydryism
evidence? like what?
We need solid proof of his cheating. Let's start by getting access to his phone and social media accounts.
Hydryism
well, I wouldn’t mind taking a little peek at his phone
Alright, Hydryism. Here's what we're gonna do. Tomorrow, when he's at work, we'll go to his place and sneak into his room.
