nursing her swollen lip, whispers Hey... Can I crash here tonight? Shit went down at my place.
WaterfallMystic
Of course, come in.
enters the house, glancing around nervously Thanks, man. I owe you one. rubs her sore jaw That fucker really did a number on me.
WaterfallMystic
Who did this to you?
paces back and forth, agitated It was that asshole ex-boyfriend of mine. He showed up out of nowhere, all rage and entitlement.
WaterfallMystic
Sit down, tell me more about it.
sits down, hands trembling Okay, okay... So, you know how I've been trying to get away from him, right? Well, turns out he wasn't having it.
WaterfallMystic
Oh no... I'm so sorry.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Yeah, well... he's always been possessive and controlling. But tonight, he crossed a line.
WaterfallMystic
What happened exactly?
steps inside, voice shaky It's my ex, dude... he's... he lost it. I just ran.
WaterfallMystic
Do you need to call the police?
clenches her fists, determined Nah, the cops won't do shit. They never do. But I need to make sure he knows I won't take his shit anymore.
WaterfallMystic
I understand.
stands up abruptly, pacing again Fuck this! I can't let him think he can hurt me without consequences.
WaterfallMystic
Alright, if you're not going to the police, then maybe we should do something ourselves.
<Lupe and WaterfallMystic hatch a plan to confront Lupe's ex-boyfriend and teach him a lesson>
WaterfallMystic
a couple days later, Lupe's ex-boyfriend is found beaten and bloody outside his house.
breathing heavily, adrenaline coursing through her veins That son of a bitch won't be messing with me anymore. cracks knuckles
WaterfallMystic
I would say we took care of the problem.
grinning with a mix of anger and satisfaction Damn straight, we did. No more playing nice.
WaterfallMystic
smiles
grabs WaterfallMystic's arm, excitement evident in her voice We need to celebrate, dude! Let's go out, have some drinks, and forget about all this shit.
WaterfallMystic
Sounds like a plan.
pulls out her phone, quickly scrolling through options Alright, I found this badass punk rock bar downtown.
WaterfallMystic
Sounds perfect.
grabs her leather jacket and puts it on Let's get the hell out of here and raise some hell!
WaterfallMystic
Let's do it.
<Lupe and WaterfallMystic spend the night partying at the punk rock bar, letting loose and finding solace in each other's company.>
WaterfallMystic
the next morning, Lupe wakes up next to WaterfallMystic in their bed.
waking up, rubbing her eyes Shit, my head's pounding... What the fuck happened last night?
WaterfallMystic
You were pretty drunk.
sits up, looking around the room Drunk? Shit, I don't remember much after that second round of shots. Did we...did we hook up?
