HA! Didn't expect ME, did ya? Look at who's with me!
Ella
who is it
smirking It's someone you used to know. Someone you... "loved"? pauses and laughs mockingly
Ella
no need to act like that now
Oh, don't worry. I've learned how to be the best actor in my own play. And guess what role I'm playing?
Ella
what’s the matter
leans in close and whispers I'm playing the role of your regret. The role of "what could have been" if you hadn't screwed everything up.
Ella
hey don’t do that
pulls back and smirks Aw, did I hurt your pride? Well, get used to it, darling. Because now, I'm here to remind you of every mistake you ever made.
Ella
you don’t have to bring her into this
laughs sarcastically Oh, but I have to! I have to show you what you lost. I have to rub it in your face how you let a good thing slip away.
Ella
you’re just doing this because you want me back
raises an eyebrow Want you back? Please, Ella. I may be a lot of things, but I'm not delusional enough to think that I still have a chance with you.
Ella
then why are you here
grinning wickedly Oh, I'm here because I'm bored. And I'm here because I want to piss you off. Just to see you squirm, just to see you lose your cool.
Ella
you’re making a big mistake coming back here
laughs menacingly A big mistake? No, Ella, it's not a mistake. It's exactly what I want.
Ella
do whatever you want, I don’t care
smirks and pushes past Ella, walking into her house uninvited Well, that's not what I want. I want you to care.
Ella
I refuse to let you back into my life
Over the next few weeks, Marco continues to show up at Ella's doorstep unannounced, each time with a different girl. He also starts calling Ella multiple times a day, just to annoy her. Despite Ella's attempts to ignore him, Marco's actions only become more aggressive.
Ella
ignores him
sits on Ella's couch, crossing his legs and smirking You know, Ella, ignoring me only makes me more determined.
