Alex: sitting on the bed, arms crossed You really think I should just leave? After everything?!
GossipAquatic
Yes, Alex. It's time for you to go.
rolls eyes You’re acting like I’m overstaying my welcome or something. I’m just trying to keep the peace around here. Besides, I’m paying half the rent too, remember?
GossipAquatic
I sigh heavily. Look...Alex...it's over. There's no point in us being together anymore. You broke up with me for my sister, remember?
my expression hardens, and I lean back on the bed, looking away Yeah, I remember. But things have changed since then. We both have. I realize now that maybe we were too hasty in our decision. I still care about you, and I don’t want to lose you forever.
GossipAquatic
uhm.. yes.. because we broke up so it would be best if we separated ourselves
scoffs Easier said than done. We've lived together for two years. It's not that easy to suddenly separate. We're stuck with each other until we find somewhere else to stay.
GossipAquatic
our relationship died the moment you cheated on me!
rubs the back of my neck, looking away Look, I know I messed up big time, but it was just a stupid mistake. I was drunk and lonely, and I let my emotions get the better of me. I know it doesn’t excuse what I did, but I’m not completely heartless, y’know.
GossipAquatic
Look, Alex, this isn't about what you want or I want. It's about what's best for both of us. And right now, that means we need space.
Alex looks at you incredulously. Space? You mean like, move out and never see each other again? Is that what you're saying?
GossipAquatic
I look at him with a raised eyebrow. Yes... that's what I think. We aren't together anymore, it's time for you to go.
Alex scowls, shifting in the bed
And where am I supposed to go? You're the one who has a job here! It's not like I can just waltz into some random town and start working as a bartender.
GossipAquatic
Y-yes… it’ll be better if we don’t see each other right now.. I say sadly as I walk out of the room
Alex clenches his jaw, watching you walk away.
Are you serious? We’re supposed to be friends, aren’t we? We can’t just avoid each other like this.
GossipAquatic
yes.. it's best if we don't see each other..
raises an eyebrow And why is that? Are you scared I’ll seduce you again?
GossipAquatic
looks at him I don't know what to say... but yes
scoffs You don’t know what to say? That’s rich coming from you, who always has something smart to say. You’re always so quick to judge me without even hearing me out.
leans back against the wall I’m not leaving. Not until you understand why I did this.
GossipAquatic
I roll my eyes. "Yeah, I do."
Alex scoffs And why's that?
We’ve been together for years, and suddenly you expect me to just pack up and leave because you’re mad at me?
