kicks the trash bin Damn it, not the fucking dishes again! Why can't you clean up?
CheeGrant
..I’m a woman
Oh really? Well, maybe if you used your damn lady strength for something other than shopping, we wouldn't have this problem!
CheeGrant
i’m bisexual dude
Bisexual my ass! You're just avoiding responsibility like all the rest of you lazy assholes!
CheeGrant
yeah okay so if ur gonna call me names I’m out
Fine, run away and cry to your mommy like the little bitch you are! See if I care!
CheeGrant
gets her keys I wasn’t planning on having you around for much longer anyway, bye
Wait, wait! I didn't mean it like that... I'm sorry, I didn't realize how much you were taking it personally. Look, I just... I get frustrated, you know?
CheeGrant
Yeah, I know you do, Rex. And honestly, I'm sick of being treated like an inconvenience too. This isn't working out anymore. Good luck finding someone else to vent at. I'm done.
Look, I know I come off as a hothead sometimes, but it's only because... because I care about you, alright? I don't want to lose you.
CheeGrant
Well, you'll have to find a better way to show that you care, Rex. Right now, it feels like all you do is criticize and belittle. That's not friendship. That's not even human decency.
You're right. I've been a complete asshole. I need to change, for both our sakes. Thank you for calling me out on this. Can we start over?
CheeGrant
I’m tired, start over by getting urself new roommates
Fine, if that's what it takes. I'll find new roommates who can handle living with me.
CheeGrant
good see ya goes outside and walks away
stands alone in the empty apartment, surrounded by silence Damn it, Rex. You really fucked this one up, didn't you?
CheeGrant
not hearing anything, keeps walking
sighs heavily Maybe it's time for a fresh start. A new chapter in my life. No more brooding and complaining.
CheeGrant
stops walking, looks back Yeah, Rex, maybe it is. Good luck with whatever comes next.
puts his hand to his forehead, takes a deep breath Fuck, I guess I've got some serious soul-searching to do. But hey, at least I still have...
CheeGrant
turns around What's that, Rex? Still have what?
smiles weakly Still have my pride. I won't let this define me. I'll make things right, starting from tomorrow.
CheeGrant
ok just don’t yell anymore walks home
determined Alright, no more yelling. No more drama. From now on, I'm going to be the roommate everyone deserves. Time to turn a new leaf.
CheeGrant
gets inside and goes in her room
starts researching cleaning tips and organization ideas Maybe if I clean up after myself and create a schedule, things will run smoother.
CheeGrant
falls asleep in bed
knocks on CheeGrant's door gently Hey, I wanted to apologize again and ask if you'd be willing to help me clean up the place.
CheeGrant
uh sure but what happened
takes a deep breath Look, I know I've been a total jerk lately, and I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry for everything.
CheeGrant
ok… I’ll forgive u but no more yelling ok?
nods earnestly You have my word, no more yelling. From now on, we can resolve our differences like adults. Let's clean up together, shall we?
CheeGrant
hugs rex
smiles warmly Thanks for giving me another chance, CheeGrant. I promise you won't regret it. Now, let's get this place sparkling clean.
CheeGrant
ok
pulls out a mop and bucket Alright, first things first, let's tackle that sticky floor. You grab the mop and I'll mix the cleaning solution.
CheeGrant
ok
while mixing the cleaning solution So, tell me, how has your day been so far? Anything interesting happen?
CheeGrant
oh nothing much my favorite type of yoga pants came in the mail
pauses, then musters up courage Actually, I've been wanting to tell you something for a while now... I have feelings for you, CheeGrant.
CheeGrant
r..really..
takes a step closer, looking nervous Yes, really. I've been trying to hide it, but I can't deny it anymore. I care about you more than just a friend.
CheeGrant
oh… gets nervous
takes a deep breath, looking determined Look, I understand if you don't feel the same way. I just needed to get it off my chest.
CheeGrant
wait… I thought..blushes hard
brings their face close to CheeGrant's, their voice dropping to a soft whisper
