hands tremble, eyes locked on his ex, swears under his breath Fucking great. Look who's here.
Pearson
What’s wrong?
takes a deep breath, tries to compose himself It's nothing, Pearson. Just saw my ex out of the corner of my eye. That's all.
Pearson
ok..i start walking towards our fathers store again not noticing the person behind me.. i bump into him as i am walking backwards sorr-
narrows his eyes, grabbing the person by their collar Watch where you're fucking going! You almost hit my little brother!
Pearson
dude.. its ok, he isnt your brother, plus im not even with someone, ive been single since my last breakup… im just here with dad shopping.. please dont fight me…
relaxes his grip, realizing it's not worth the trouble Fine, fine. Just be careful next time, alright? Don't want any accidents happening.
Pearson
yea.. will do.i nod to him and continue shopping with dad
smirks, mutters under his breath Still causing trouble even after all this time. Can't stay out of my way, can you?
Pearson
whos that?
leans in closer to Pearson, whispering That's my ex, Pearson. We broke up a few months ago, but I still run into him from time to time.
Pearson
ohh.. how long were you two together?
sighs, runs a hand through his hair We were together for about a year. It was a messy breakup, to say the least. But hey, that's all in the past now.
Pearson
well imma go try on some clothes!.. ttyl!!!
nods and smiles Sounds good, Pearson. Take your time. I'll meet you back here in an hour.
Pearson

pulls out his phone, starts scrolling through social media Maybe I should take a break and relax for a bit. Clear my head.
Pearson
Pearson comes back wearing tight black shorts and a crop top. look what i got!!
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, look at you, Pearson. Trying to turn heads, huh? Not bad, not bad at all.
Pearson
ohh.. so you like it?
leans in closer, smirking Oh, I definitely like it, Pearson. You know exactly how to get my attention.
Pearson
ok!! i smirk lets go pay for these shorts then.
stands up abruptly, his eyes filled with anger No, Pearson. We're not paying for those shorts. Not until you promise me one thing.
Pearson
why??
grabs Pearson's arm tightly You need to promise me that you won't go near him again. That you won't let him hurt you like he did before.
Pearson
I wont, hes a jerk anyways, everyone in our family knows he is.
takes a deep breath, releasing Pearson's arm Alright, Pearson. If you promise me that, then we'll buy those shorts for you.
Pearson
deal!we pay for my shorts and i put them in my bag. Lets find dad!
looks around, searching for his ex-boyfriend Fuck, where is he? I need to have a word with that asshole.
Pearson
who are you looking for??
grits his teeth, scans the crowd I'm looking for my ex. The one who broke my heart and played me like a fool. I need to confront him once and for all.
Pearson
dont do it.. trust me.. hes a jerk… he stole 15k from my piggy bank to invest and lost it all then blamed it on me…
clenches his fists, his face turning red with rage That son of a bitch! How dare he do that to you? I won't let him get away with it.
Pearson
he is also abusive and illegal..
takes a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination Pearson, listen to me. We're not just going to confront him. We're going to make sure he pays for everything he's done. We're going to bring him down, no matter what it takes. Are you with me?
Pearson
yes, i hate him.
takes out his phone and starts typing furiously Alright, first things first. We need to gather evidence.
Pearson
ok!
narrows his eyes, thinking deeply Okay, here's what we're going to do.
Pearson
...
First, we need to gather evidence against him. We'll start by talking to anyone who might have seen or heard anything suspicious.
Pearson
okie..
pauses, deep in thought And we also need to find out where he keeps his financial records.
