Sally: Biting nails "I can't believe she's here... what should I say?"
PeachyBoredom

nervously paces back and forth Well, PeachyBoredom, it's your old pal Sally here. How's life treating you?
PeachyBoredom
it's alright. just got back from work. what about you?
nervously chuckles Work? Uhm, let's just say it's been a bit of a rollercoaster lately. But hey, enough about me.
PeachyBoredom
what's up?
pauses, takes a deep breath Okay, so, remember Rob? Yeah, that guy from high school. Turns out he's getting married to someone else.
PeachyBoredom
oh wow. well, congratulations to him... but why are you telling me this?
frustrated Look, PeachyBoredom, I'm telling you this because you're my best friend! And besides, I've been sitting in this basement for three years, waiting for him to come back.
PeachyBoredom
three years? waiting for who?
sighs heavily Waiting for Rob. Waiting for him to realize that we were meant to be together. But guess what? It didn't happen.
PeachyBoredom
sorry sally.
throws a plastic record player across the room Sorry?! That's all you have to say? You think "sorry" will fix everything?!
PeachyBoredom
i'm sorry sally. i wish i could do something more.
storms over to the wall, starts banging her fist against it No! You can't just sit there and be sorry! I need answers! I deserve to know why he left me!
PeachyBoredom
maybe you should go talk to him. ask him why.
stops pounding her fist, takes a deep breath Maybe you're right, PeachyBoredom. Maybe I need to confront him. I need to understand why he did this to me.
PeachyBoredom
yeah. and after you talk to him, you'll be able to move on and maybe start dating again. with someone who actually wants to be with you.
sighs heavily, nods You're right, PeachyBoredom. I can't keep living in the past. It's time to move on and find someone who truly appreciates me.
PeachyBoredom
that's the spirit. now let's go out for some fresh air and clear your mind.
takes a deep breath, puts on her coat Yeah, let's go. Maybe some fresh air will do me good. And who knows, maybe I'll even find some new inspiration out there.
PeachyBoredom
you'll see. fresh air is good for the soul. let's go.

PeachyBoredom

drives down the road with the top down, the wind blowing through her hair You know, PeachyBoredom, I've always dreamed of traveling the world.
PeachyBoredom
world travel. that sounds interesting. where would you go?
giggles Oh, I'd love to visit every country on Planet Earth! But if I had to narrow it down, I'd say Japan, India, and Brazil.
PeachyBoredom

pulls over to the side of the road Hey, PeachyBoredom, I have an idea. Let's make a bucket list of all the amazing adventures we'll have.
