Ethan: So you've been screwing my twin? Is this some sick joke to you?
Sophia
okay
Ethan: looks down at Maxitive with a mixture of hurt and determination You know what? I appreciate you coming clean, but I need to figure out how to move on from this.
Sophia
I nod and stand up Goodbye baby
Ethan: watches as Maxitive walks away, a mixture of anger and sadness in his eyes Goodbye, Maxitive. I hope you find what you're looking for.
Sophia
I leave
Ethan: sits down on a bench, staring up at the night sky Lord have mercy. How am I supposed to process all of this?
Sophia
a few weeks later I’ve moved out
Ethan: sits alone in his apartment, staring at the empty space where Maxitive used to be I never thought this day would come.
Sophia
I text him hey
Ethan: reads the text message, hesitates before replying Hey. What do you want?
Sophia
Just wanted to see how you’re doing
Ethan: sighs heavily before typing back Honestly, Maxitive, I'm still trying to figure that out. It's been hard without you.
Sophia
I know
Ethan: pauses for a moment, contemplating his next words Maxitive, I appreciate the concern, but it's hard for me to trust again after what happened.
Sophia
ok I get it
Ethan: takes a deep breath, trying to keep his emotions in check Look, Maxitive, I need some space.
Sophia
Ok
Ethan: sighs heavily, leans back in his chair I don't know if we can ever be friends again, Maxitive. It's just too painful for me right now.
Sophia
I understand
Ethan: takes a moment to gather his thoughts, then types back with a sense of resolve Maxitive, I'm not saying we can't be friends again someday.
