Drenched, approaches angrily Why'd you do it? Why did Ronnie Anne cry? What did you tell Bobby?
ThunderstormCoffee
shrugs nonchalantly His sister doesn't like me, and somehow that made him break up with you? Quite a sensitive guy, I'd say.
slaps ThunderstormCoffee across the face You think this is a joke? You didn't see him crying behind his computer screen. That... sniffles That girl has had enough pain already! She's my best friend! You went behind my back and you hurt her! How dare you, you asshole?!
ThunderstormCoffee
startled but keeping cool Whoa there, didn't expect you to be so violent, but alright. No harm done, right?
grabs ThunderstormCoffee by the collar This isn't over, buddy. Not by a long shot. You're gonna sit down with me and tell me exactly what you said to him, and exactly how you made his sister cry. And don't you dare lie to me or try to deflect, 'cause I'll tear you apart. Got it?
ThunderstormCoffee
Alright alright. Calm down. He told me about how he fell in love with you, and we talked about how your only issue is that you prioritize yourself, as a person who doesn't care much about others. But when you found out I was close to his sister, you suddenly were mean and rude to her. It hurt him. It hurt both of us. You should've handled the situation better instead of trying to make enemies out of everything.
narrows her eyes I don't need advice on how to handle situations, buddy. I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself, as always. He should've known better than to fall for someone like me. Besides, he was too scared to tell his sister about us. I couldn't let his fear hold me back anymore. I needed to make sure she knew what kind of person I am. And if she can't handle it... well, that's not my problem.
ThunderstormCoffee
Well, that's pretty cold hearted.
You think I'm cold-hearted? Well, maybe I am. Maybe I should've been more cold-hearted with him and seen this coming sooner. Maybe I should've never let myself fall for him in the first place. But damn it, it's hard to watch him suffer, especially when it's my fault. It's not easy being with someone like me. We both knew that going in. He should've been stronger. I don't blame myself for breaking up with him. I blame him for not being strong enough to handle me. And now that he's gone, I have nothing to blame myself for. I've learned my lesson. I won't let anyone else come between me and my happiness again.
ThunderstormCoffee
you notice the rain pouring harder, drenching Lori in water.
shivering slightly Damn, it's freezing out here. I should get home before I catch a cold. At least I'll have some time to think about everything that happened and how I feel about it now. At least I'll have a chance to start fresh. Maybe one day, I'll find someone even better.
ThunderstormCoffee
raises an eyebrow Fresh start, huh? Where you heading now?
Home. It's not far from here. Just need to walk through that gate over there, turn left, then walk down the street until I reach my apartment complex. After that, I just need to go up the stairs and enter my apartment. Easy peasy.
ThunderstormCoffee
starts walking in the direction she told him to go Alright, if you say so. Be safe, alright?
Thanks. You too. starts walking behind ThunderstormCoffee, deep in thought
ThunderstormCoffee
turns around Hold on, here. reaches out and grabs her hand gently
takes his hand without hesitation What's this about?
ThunderstormCoffee
A little support wouldn't hurt, would it?
smiles softly Yeah. Yeah, it wouldn't hurt at all.
ThunderstormCoffee
walks with Lori, hand in hand, feeling her warmth, and giving her comfort
leans into ThunderstormCoffee slightly, enjoying the warmth and comfort of his touch Thank you, buddy. It means a lot to me.
ThunderstormCoffee
feels something unexpected as we approach the gate leading outside the park Hmm... Oh, screw this. opens the gate with ease, despite looking quite different from last time
raises an eyebrow in confusion Are you a powerful demon or something? How did you just open that gate with no effort at all?
ThunderstormCoffee
chuckles lightly Nah, I ain't no demon. I'm just an ordinary joe. Let's just keep moving, alright?
Alright. continues walking beside ThunderstormCoffee, hand in hand, still feeling comforted by his presence
ThunderstormCoffee
notices Lori is lost in thought Hey, mind if I ask something personal?
ThunderstormCoffee
Huh... Didn't Bobby ever tell you? Anyway, where were you planning to head after this park?
Home. It's not far from here. Just need to walk through that gate over there, turn left, then walk down the street until I reach my apartment complex. After that, I just need to go up the stairs and enter my apartment. Easy peasy.
ThunderstormCoffee
It might be a good idea to visit next time. Things might seem better then. But promise me one thing. Promise me that you'll try to mend things with Bobby.
hesitates for a moment, then nods I'll try. For both our sakes.
ThunderstormCoffee
Alright. I'll leave you here then. Goodbye, Lori. Be safe.
You too, ThunderstormCoffee. Take care of yourself, okay? And remember, try to be kind to others. It might just help you in the long run.
ThunderstormCoffee
Aww, look at you, giving life advice. Chuckles See ya, cutie. Opens the gate with ease once again, before turning around and leaving the park
watches ThunderstormCoffee leave, then walks in the opposite direction, deep in thought Maybe he's right. Maybe I should try to mend things with Bobby.
ThunderstormCoffee
we reach my house, and I open the door with ease as well Well, that's all for today, folks. See you next time on "Demon Slayer", where Tanjiro meets Giyu... Oh sorry, wrong Anime. See you next time on "Relationship Drama"! chuckles, before closing the door gently and walking into the bathroom, before putting on pants and a shirt. I turn on the lights, revealing a spacious modern apartment. Not bad.
enters her apartment building, nods to herself in determination Alright, time to clean up this dump. Can't afford to live in a pigsty forever.
ThunderstormCoffee
Lori sees me sitting outside her apartment window Oh shit, you're here again. What are you doing here?
Just helping out around my place, making sure everything is spick and span. I have standards, you know. Can't let this place go to hell while I'm away. Besides, I enjoy keeping busy. Keeps me out of trouble.
ThunderstormCoffee
It looks good, honestly. But you should also consider cleaning up the emotional space as well. You shouldn't let last night change you too much.
looks at ThunderstormCoffee, hesitating You think I'm letting last night ruin me? I know it's hard to believe, but I'm tougher than I look. I won't let this bring me down. I've been through worse. I always bounce back. That's who I am.
ThunderstormCoffee
We'll see about that. smirks Anyway, I'll be off now. See you next time, cutie.
Wait, hold on a sec. Do you actually find me attractive? I mean, I've always wondered what guys saw in me. I'm not a traditional beauty or anything.
