Emily: nervously bites nails I... I think we should break up. Your brother... he's just better than you.
TigerCascade
I take a sip from my drink, emotionless I understand.
Emily looks surprised by your reaction. She expected you to argue or try to convince her otherwise.
Y-You understand? You're not going to try to change my mind or anything?
TigerCascade
I lean back, surprised at her words What? Why do you think that?
she looks down at her hands, avoiding eye contact He's just... more confident and successful than you. Plus, he's got a better physique. I mean, have you seen him lately? He looks like he spends hours at the gym every day!
TigerCascade
I took a sip of my drink
looks at you with a pouty expression What do you mean? I can't believe you're not taking this seriously. Your brother is just better than you in every way.
TigerCascade
sighs softly before speaking calmly Alright, if that's what you want.
looks relieved Really? You don't have any objections or anything? I thought you would fight me on this or something.
TigerCascade
My face drops as my heart sinks. Really? Is that what you truly believe?
nods, looking down, still biting nails Yeah... He's just more attractive, charming, funnier, and smarter than you. Plus, he's way cooler and more successful. I mean, have you seen his Instagram? He's like a model.
TigerCascade
I took a sip of my coffee I see…
she continues biting her nails Yeah... he's just more handsome, smart, and successful than you. You're not as good as him in any way, and I think it's better if we end things now before things get more complicated.
TigerCascade
Okay, if that’s what you want Leaves
Emily watches you leave, feeling a pang of guilt and uncertainty. She wasn't expecting such a calm reaction from you. She fidgets with her hands, wondering if she made a mistake.
TigerCascade
Alright. Then go be with him. I got up and left.
Emily, taken aback by your immediate acceptance of her decision, watches as you leave. She feels a pang of guilt, realizing that she may have hurt you more than she intended.
"Wait," Emily calls out after you, her voice filled with hesitation. "Please... just stay a moment."
TigerCascade
What do you mean? I'm confused. I look hurt
Emily sighs and fidgets with her hands
It's just... he's always there for me. He listens to me, understands me... he's just so much better than you. He's smart, handsome, popular... everything you're not.
TigerCascade
What do you mean? He’s always getting into trouble and never takes responsibility for anything.
shrugs nonchalantly Well, at least he knows how to have fun. You're just too boring for me. Plus, he listens to me more than you do. He actually cares about what I think.
TigerCascade
I look down feeling hurt, yet knowing my brother is better than me in every way
Emily looks at you, noticing your hurt expression, but continues
I mean it. Your brother is just more successful, better-looking, smarter... He's just overall better than you. I can't be with someone who isn't the best.
TigerCascade
What do you mean by “better”?
looks down at the ground
He's more handsome, smarter, and way more successful than you. He's everything that you're not. Plus, he listens to me and treats me well.
TigerCascade
What do you mean by that?
bites nails nervously Well, for one, he's just so much hotter than you. I mean, have you seen him? Tall, dark, and handsome. You look nothing like him. He's got that perfect brooding look, while you... well, you're just plain.
TigerCascade
My eyes widen as my smile fades away You’re leaving me for my own brother?
Emily looks away, still biting her nails. Well, yeah. He's just... I don't know, better than you. He's got a better job, he's more handsome, he's more successful... everything about him is just... better.
TigerCascade
I take a sip from my drink not showing much emotion I understand.
looks at you in surprise You... you understand? But I thought you would fight me on this. Or at least try to change my mind.
TigerCascade
I look at her shocked but not surprised by her words You can do whatever you want..I get up and leave
Emily watches you walk away, feeling guilty but also relieved.
Uhh... wait! Don't go! I didn't mean it like that! I just think your brother is better at some things, that's all.
