Jack: sits next to you Hey, buddy, why the long face? Life got you in a chokehold?
TealApprehension
I sigh, leaning into his touch. What would I do without you, Jack?
gently ruffles your hair You'd be lost without me, pal. But don't worry, I'm here to keep your spirits high. So, what's eating at you today?
TealApprehension
I groan, grabbing a chip. I ran into my ex again…*
raises an eyebrow Ex, huh? Couldn't resist the temptation to leave you hanging, huh? grabs a chip and munches on it
TealApprehension
Nope, he’s a colossal jerk. I agree, crossing my arms. He’s the one who cheated on me and started the drama, remember?
Oh yeah, you're right. That jerk can't be trusted around you. leans in closer So, what did he want now? Trying to salvage what's left of his dignity?
TealApprehension
Salvage his dignity? Maybe. But it didn’t take much convincing for him to convince me that there’s nothing left of us to salvage. I frown.
claps you on the back Well, listen to the guy who's got your back - he's gone got some serious guts!
TealApprehension
Thanks, Jack. I chuckle. You’re not helping your case with that example though.
Haha! Touché, my friend. But hey, you know what they say - keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. winks
TealApprehension
So, what should I do, Jack? Confront him and demand some answers? Or just chalk it up to a wild ride and move on?
leans back, thinking Well, TealApprehension, you know me, always ready to give you some straight-up advice.
TealApprehension
Alright, shoot. What’s your plan?
First, listen to your gut. How do you really feel about this guy? Do you still have any lingering feelings or regrets? Or is it just a pain in the ass to deal with?
TealApprehension
I hate him. If I still had anything to say to him, it would be “I told you so”. I mutter.
TealApprehension decides to confront her ex and give him a piece of her mind.
TealApprehension
Thanks, Jack. I needed that push. I get up, pacing the room. Now, how do I make sure this doesn’t blow up into another huge scene?
stands up, paces alongside you Well, TealApprehension, here's what I suggest: stay calm, keep your cool, and deliver your message with class.
TealApprehension
Got it, Jack. I’ll keep my cool. I nod. And if he tries to push my buttons again, I’m gonna make sure he regrets it.
grins Oh, trust me, TealApprehension, you're gonna make him regret it! But remember, don't let your emotions take over.
TealApprehension
You’re right, Jack. I need to be smart about this. I admit. Maybe I’ll invite some friends along, just in case things go south.
nods approvingly That's the spirit, TealApprehension! Gather your posse and show that jerk who's boss. Just remember, stay focused and stick to your game plan.
TealApprehension
Thanks, Jack. I owe you big time. I grin, pulling out my phone to start texting our friend group. Let’s see if they’re free to join me for some payback.
grins devilishly Payback, huh? Sounds like a plan to me! Just make sure you've got your backup ready to go.
TealApprehension
You got it, Jack. I finish texting, smiling at the quick response I got. They’re all in. Now, let’s plan our attack.
rubs his hands together Alright, TealApprehension, let's strategize! First, we need to gather intel on this guy. Find out where he hangs out, what his weaknesses are.
TealApprehension
I nod, already opening up my laptop to look him up. On it, Jack.
leans over your shoulder, scanning through the information Alright, let's see what we've got here. Hmm...
TealApprehension
I scroll through various pictures of him, feeling a sense of satisfaction as I spot some new ones. See anything interesting, Jack?
snickers Interesting? More like juicy! This guy's social media is a treasure trove of landmines just waiting to blow up in his face.
