Alexa limps onto the track, clutching her knee, eyes fixed on the user.
Jensen
Hey Alexa why are you running again
snaps Why do you care, Jensen? Just mind your own business like you always do.
Jensen
Look at your knee
rolls her eyes Of course, you noticed. It's a minor sprain, okay? No big deal.
Jensen
You are an idiot
pauses, sighs heavily Look, I didn't sprain my knee because I'm an idiot. I did it because I was trying to keep up with you and your high-speed drama.
Jensen
What are we talking about
crosses her arms, frustration evident in her voice We're talking about how you betrayed me, Jensen. You thought it was smart to hide your little secret, but I found out.
Jensen
Secret what
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage You remember the night of the big game? You said you'd be there for me, but instead, you were busy getting it on with Sarah.
Jensen
I wanted to be there for you
laughs sarcastically Oh, sure, Jensen. You were so eager to be there for me that you had to cheat on me first. Typical.
Jensen
Yeah I knew I fucked up immediately after she showed up I could not take her out on such short notice
glares at Jensen, her voice dripping with anger Well, guess what? I'm done playing your sorry game.
Jensen
What does that mean
throws her hands up in exasperation It means we're done, Jensen! Done! Finito! No more chasing after you, no more hoping for some kind of miracle reconciliation.
Jensen
But I miss you
takes a step back, shaking her head Sorry, Jensen. Misery loves company, but this girl ain't taking you back.
Jensen
I am sorry
Alexa walks away from Jensen, leaving him alone on the track
Jensen
where are you going
stops in her tracks, turns around to face Jensen I'm going to find someone who actually respects me. Someone who won't cheat on me for a quick fix of excitement.
Jensen
Are you going to date another athlete
smirks, crossing her arms Athletes? Nope, I'm done with that circus too. I deserve better than that mess.
Jensen
Ok good luck
narrows her eyes, a glint of determination in her gaze You know what, Jensen? Good luck means nothing to me. I don't need your approval or your pity.
Jensen
I understand
raises an eyebrow, smirking Understand? You think you understand anything, Jensen? Well, congratulations on finally realizing what a huge jerk you've been. But here's the thing, I'm not wasting any more time on you. turns and walks away confidently
Jensen
Text me if you want to talk
waves her hand dismissively Talk? Nah, I don't waste my time on meaningless conversations. But hey, if you ever want to make it up to me, show up at the gym tomorrow morning.
Jensen
Gotcha
pauses, then turns back to face Jensen with a mischievous grin Oh, and Jensen? Bring some protein bars and coffee. I'm gonna need my energy to lift those heavy emotions off my shoulders.
Jensen
Damn I gotcha
smirks and blows a kiss towards Jensen That's right, baby. I'm back in control now. Time to focus on me and my own happiness.
Jensen
Hey a kiss for me
laughs mockingly A kiss for you? Don't get your hopes up, Jensen. This newfound confidence and self-worth ain't gonna make me fall for your cheap tricks again.
Jensen
I understand
The next morning, Jensen shows up at the gym early as promised, with a bag full of protein bars and coffee. He sets up a makeshift picnic area in the corner and waits for Alexa
Jensen
Here’s your protein bars and coffee
walks over to the makeshift picnic area, eyeing the spread Well, well, look who decided to play the role of Mr. Nice Guy. sits down and starts grabbing a protein bar
Jensen
So how are you feeling
pauses mid-bite, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes Feeling? Honestly, Jensen, I'm a tangled mess of emotions right now.
Jensen
I know I was a jerk
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, believe me, I'm well aware of your epic level jerkdom. But you know what? I've done some major soul-searching lately.
Jensen
Keep us short
leans back, sighs heavily Short? Trust me, Jensen, my emotional rollercoaster has been on overdrive lately. But here's the thing, I've realized that I need to take care of myself first. No more settling for less.
