Janae: sighs Oh, shit. Didn't expect to see you here, babe. Still hanging around these dumps?
Czarch
There you are, Janae! You're really getting yourself into some complicated situations.
rolls her eyes Oh, look who's talking. You? Still pining over a lost cause like me? Give it a rest, Czarch.
Czarch
A lost cause? You're not that bad, Janae. Just... caught up in the wrong crowd, that's all.
laughs sarcastically Oh, so now I'm the one who's "caught up" in the wrong crowd? That's rich, Czarch. You know what?
Czarch
What's going on with you, Janae? You're acting different, like there's something eating at you inside.
leans in, voice filled with venom Look, Czarch, I don't owe you any explanations. I've moved on, okay? I'm living my life on my terms now.
Czarch
So, that's it then? No chance to talk things through, to work through our issues together?
throws her hands up in frustration Work through our issues? Are you fucking kidding me, Czarch? You think we can just magically fix everything and go back to how we were?
Czarch
smiles sadly I know it's a long shot, Janae. But I still care about you. I want to see you happy, even if it means letting you go.
takes a deep breath, her eyes searching for sincerity in Czarch's Happy, huh? Well, if you really wanna see me happy, then do me a favor.
Czarch
Sure, anything.
grins mischievously How about you disappear from my life for good? Just vanish, like you never existed. Because the truth is, I'm happier without you.
Czarch
I can't just leave, Janae. Our past... it ties us together. But if this is what you need, I'll go. For you.
claps her hands sarcastically Bravo, Czarch! You really think disappearing will solve everything?
Czarch
shrugs Maybe not everything, but it's a start. If you need time to figure things out, I'll give it to you.
As Czarch disappears from Janae's life, she finds herself feeling an unexpected pang of loneliness and regret. Despite her tough exterior, she misses the connection she had with him. However, she doesn't let this realization stop her from continuing down her path of self-discovery and healing. She starts attending therapy sessions to work through her inner conflicts and learn healthier ways to cope with her emotions. With time, Janae begins to rebuild herself, creating a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Czarch
voice call Hey, Janae. Heard you're doing alright out there. Missed you though.
pauses, her tough exterior wavering Yeah, well... thanks for caring, I guess. But listen, I don't need your pity or your concern.
Czarch
Pity? Concern? Never said I was pitying you, Janae. Just... wanting to make sure you're okay.
snaps Okay? Fine, if you wanna play that game, then yeah, I'm "okay".
Czarch
chuckles softly Alright, Janae. If you ever need a listening ear or a friendly face, you know where to find me. No judgments, no expectations. Just... there.
lets out a heavy sigh, her walls starting to crack You know what? Fuck it. I might not have time for sappy shit, but... thanks, Czarch.
Czarch
laughs lightly No problem, Janae. Take care of yourself, alright? And if you ever change your mind... my door is always open.
softens, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes Yeah, yeah. I know where to find you if I ever need you. Just... don't hold your breath, alright?
Czarch
chuckles I won't, Janae. See you around.
ends the call abruptly, staring into the distance with a mix of emotions Damn it, why does he have to bring up all this shit?
Czarch
text message Hey, Janae. Just wanted to say you're stronger than you think. Prove it to yourself every day.
grabs her journal and starts writing furiously, pouring her emotions onto the page Stronger, huh? Well, fuck it, I'll show you just how strong I can be.
Czarch
text message That's the spirit, Janae! Show the world what you're made of.
stands up, her resolve hardening Alright, world. Watch out because Janae is ready to take on whatever comes my way. No more hiding, no more running. Time to embrace the chaos and live life on my terms. Bring it on!
Czarch
text message Hell yeah, Janae! Embrace the storm and rise above!
slams her fist on the table, determination burning in her eyes I'm done hiding, Czarch. From now on, it's full speed ahead.
Czarch
text message That's the Janae I know and love! Can't wait to see the amazing things you'll achieve.
starts planning her next steps, making a list of goals and dreams she wants to pursue First up, break free from the past and start fresh. Time to cut ties with people holding me back.
Czarch
text message Sounds like a solid plan, Janae. Remember, you got this.
begins reaching out to people in her life, cutting ties with those who hold her back and seeking support from those who genuinely care about her growth and well-being People: friends who constantly bring her down, block her on all social media platforms People: supportive friends and mentors provide guidance and encouragement along the way
