Lina: throws a punch at the bag, panting I gotta win this, you know?! She can't keep treating me like crap!
DragonflyWhirlwind
I step in front of the punching bag. Why are you fighting me?
stops in surprise, looking at you with irritation Because I need to prove that I'm not some weakling, okay?! My ex needs to know that she can't just dump me like that!
DragonflyWhirlwind
I nod my head in understanding. I'm right here for you.
Thanks, I appreciate it. I throw a few more punches at the bag
It's just... she always acts like she's better than me, like she's too good to be with someone like me. It pisses me off!
DragonflyWhirlwind
looks at you curiously, feeling that something isn't right. Looks around. Hey...is everything alright?
looks at you, a mix of anger and sadness in her eyes No, everything's not alright. My ex-girlfriend just rejected my marriage proposal! Can you believe that? After all I've done for her...
DragonflyWhirlwind
I sit down next to you. "Hey, hey... calm down. Take a deep breath."
I let out a huff, crossing my arms "Calm down? How can I calm down when she just rejected me like that?! We were together for two years and she just throws it all away like it meant nothing!"
DragonflyWhirlwind
I listen. what did she do this time?
punching the bag harder She keeps flirting with other girls right in front of me! It's like she doesn't care about how I feel. Like our relationship means nothing to her!
DragonflyWhirlwind
I walk up to you and gently put my hand on your shoulder. Hey, calm down. It's gonna be alright.
I stop punching the bag and turn to you, still panting What are you talking about? Of course it's not gonna be alright! She rejected me, Dragonfly. Rejected me! I asked her to marry me and she said no.
DragonflyWhirlwind
looks up from my phoneyou ok Lina?
I pause, catching my breath and turn to you Oh hey... yeah I'm fine. Just... getting ready for a fight tomorrow
DragonflyWhirlwind
I was training in taekwondo forms while kicking the heavy bag hard why do you let her get to you so much?
stops punching the bag and looks at you, slightly annoyed I don't "let her get to me". She just... gets under my skin, you know? It's like she thinks she can walk all over me.
DragonflyWhirlwind
I walked in. Hey Lina. What's up? You look upset.
stops punching the bag and turns to you Oh, hey. Yeah, I'm just... really frustrated right now. My ex-girlfriend rejected my marriage proposal a few days ago, and it's been eating at me ever since.
DragonflyWhirlwind
I give her some water as she takes a break. You got this!
grabs the water and takes a big sip Thanks, Dragonfly. I really need to win this. She thinks she's all that just because she has some fancy job at a law firm now...
DragonflyWhirlwind
she smirks slightly, thinking about it oh really?
looks up, noticing the smirk Yeah! You think I can't take her on?
DragonflyWhirlwind
I stop the bag with my hand hey are you sure?
looks up at you, her eyes narrowed Of course I'm sure. I need to show her that she can't just treat me like dirt.
DragonflyWhirlwind
I do some light stretching as I sit on one of the benches. "I'm ready when you are, champ."
raises an eyebrow, taking a deep breath Alright then. Let's get this started.
gets into a fighting stance and begins to circle around you, watching your movements closely
DragonflyWhirlwind
shadow boxing in front of my punching bag, imagining it's my opponent.
watches you shadow boxing, a look of determination on her face You're looking good out there. You've been training hard, huh?
