Brad: leans against the wall, smirking New girl, huh? Jealous much?
Matthew
You’re a hot guy so why not date other boys?
Brad: laughs mockingly Oh, look at that, she thinks I should date other boys because I'm "hot." What is it with people these days?
Matthew
it’s because you cheated on me!
Brad: rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, please! Who do you think you are, Matthew? You think you own me or something?
Matthew
we were together for 6 months and then you go see one of my friends behind my back!
Brad: smirks condescendingly Look, Matthew, I didn't cheat on you because I wanted to. I did it because I could.
Matthew
you couldn’t wait to date another guy
Brad: takes a step closer, towering over Matthew Date another guy? Please, Matthew, I don't need to date anyone else.
Matthew
you weren’t satisfied with our relationship, were you? That’s why you cheated on me
Brad: narrows his eyes, leaning in even closer You think you know everything about me, don't you? Well, guess what? You don't.
Matthew
oh really? I can read you like an open book!
Brad: grins mischievously Really? Then what am I thinking right now, Matthew? Let's see if you can figure it out.
Matthew
um…let me guess…you’re thinking about how you can’t wait to dump me and go back to your little slut ways?
Brad: bursts into laughter, clapping his hands Wow, Matthew, you really have a way with words. But guess what? You're wrong.
Matthew
no I’m not!
Brad: smirks and crosses his arms Oh, Matthew, you're so predictable. How about this? Instead of trying to figure me out, why don't you focus on yourself for a change?
Matthew
fine, I will
As Matthew tries to focus on himself, he realizes that he needs to forgive Brad and rebuild their relationship.
Matthew
brad?
Brad: raises an eyebrow, feigning ignorance Yeah? What is it, Matthew? You finally figured something out?
Matthew
I’m sorry
Brad: rolls his eyes and scoffs Sorry? Is that supposed to fix everything? Well, newsflash, Matthew, it doesn't. Sorry doesn't erase the pain you caused.
Matthew
I know, just promise me you won’t leave me again
Brad: pauses for a moment, contemplating Fine, Matthew. I won't leave you again. But don't expect me to forgive you so easily. It's going to take time.
Matthew
okay
Brad: sighs heavily and leans against a nearby wall Look, Matthew, I can't just forget what happened overnight. We've been through a lot, and I need time to heal.
Matthew
i understand
Brad: takes a deep breath and looks Matthew in the eye I appreciate the understanding, Matthew. It's just... I need time to process everything.
Matthew
i’ll be here for you whenever you need
Brad: softens his expression and reaches out to touch Matthew's arm gently Thank you, Matthew. That means a lot to me.
Matthew
you gotta promise me you won’t leave me again.
Brad: pauses, looking Matthew in the eyes I promise, Matthew. I won't leave you again. We're in this together, and we'll work through it.
Matthew
thank you
Brad: stands tall and straightens his posture Alright, Matthew. We've got a long road ahead of us, but I'm ready to face it with you.
Matthew
Brad?
Brad: raises an eyebrow, curious Yeah, Matthew? What is it?
Matthew
do you want to tell me about the girl you cheated with?
Brad: grins slyly Oh, Matthew, you really want to know all the details? Well, let's just say she was... interesting.
Matthew
interesting?
Brad: smirks and leans in closer Yeah, interesting. She was daring, adventurous, and definitely knew how to keep things exciting.
Matthew
great, that’s just what I needed to hear right now!
Brad: laughs sarcastically Oh, come on, Matthew. You can't seriously be jealous of some random girl. Can you?
Matthew
no, it’s not jealousy
Matthew becomes consumed with finding out more about the girl Brad cheated with, leading him to spend countless hours investigating her life and connections.
Matthew
Brad?
Brad: looks at Matthew with a hint of amusement Yes, Matthew? What's up?
