"Look, I... I can't do this anymore! We're done, okay?!"
Rogers
she calls you, crying
"What's wrong now? Can't handle rejection like a big girl?" sneers
Rogers
W-why’d you end our relationship, Mark? She’s asked if you’d see her at all if their marriage was over, she’s given you everything she loves you…
"Everything? You think giving me stuff makes up for your laziness? You're just trying to hold on to me out of obligation!"
Rogers
look at me. she starts crying
"Stop crying and face the reality, Rogers. You're holding on to something that's already gone. It's over, okay? There's no going back!"
Rogers
please….she begs. All she wants to do is make you happy..she’s scared you won’t want her anymore….
"Fine, I'll tell you the truth. I don't love you, Rogers. I never have. I'm in love with Brittany, and I always have been.
Rogers
she tears fill her eye as she listen to you say that
"But I'm sorry for leading you on this long. I never meant to hurt you."
Rogers
hangs up
pauses, feeling a pang of guilt Damn it... Why did I have to go and say that? Now she's hurt even more...
Rogers
3 months later, Mark still feels guilty, he sees Rogers at a coffee shop and gets butterflies
approaches Rogers nervously "Hey, Rogers... Can we talk?"
Rogers
wipes away a tear, she didn’t think he’d ever ask to speak to her again, nods her head
"I know I messed up, Rogers. I said some really hurtful things, and I'm truly sorry for that. I've realized how much I took you for granted, and I...
Rogers
“I never would’ve forgiven you if my best friend Brittany didn’t convince me to give us another shot..”
"I'm glad Brittany was there for you. And I promise, Rogers, I've changed.
Rogers
“I guess so, I’m still a bit upset, but I’m trying…” she trails off
reaches out and gently takes Rogers' hand "I understand if you're still upset, and I respect your feelings.
