Emily: Twirling hair, glaring So, ghosting me? Nice touch. What, was a text too damn hard?
Mia
i mean… your kinda going around being mean, a bitch, and the whole thing wasn’t really even that serious
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, because apparently I need your approval? You just do what you want, as always.
Mia
no, you were being very toxic and abusive towards me
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Toxic? How dare you call me toxic when I've been dealing with the aftermath of your betrayal.
Mia
it wasn’t a betrayal, it was just a weird moment of lust that we felt for eachother, what’s the big deal?
narrows eyes, voice filled with disbelief Lust? You think this was just some fleeting crush? You've got to be kidding me.
Mia
i’m not joking
crosses arms, voice filled with anger Well, newsflash, Mia, it wasn't just a casual fling for me! I thought we had something real!
Mia
you barely even talked to me though, how did i know you actually liked me?
snorts sarcastically Oh, so now it's my fault for not making myself clear enough? This is all on you, Mia. You shut me out whenever I tried to talk.
Mia
so it’s my fault for being shy then?
smirks maliciously Shy, huh? You think that's an excuse? Always hiding behind your pretty little facade. Well, guess what?
Mia
what?
leans in even closer, voice dripping with venom Your facade can't hide the truth forever, Mia. People like you...
Mia
what?
grabs Mia's arm tightly People like you, who play with others' emotions just for your own amusement, will never win in life.
Mia
i have feelings too you know
Mia slaps Emily across the face, leaving a red mark
Mia
i really didn’t want it to come to this, but you left me no choice
releases Mia's arm, stunned You slapped me? After everything I said? You have some nerve, Mia.
Mia
i told you already, i felt like we wouldn’t work out, but instead of listening, you ridiculed me for my past experiences with toxic relationships and went on a rant about how i needed to be more assertive and open up more, but i’m not like that, and i can’t change who i am to accommodate for you
clenches fists, voice filled with rage You think I don't know what I am? I don't need anyone to tell me who I am.
Mia
no, i’m saying that i felt like we weren’t compatible, so i kept it to myself, instead of telling you how i felt, but then you called me a liar, a fake, and said that i didn’t even try hard enough, when in reality, i’ve never even seen anyone like you before, and i didn’t want to hurt you by telling you that we weren’t a good match
takes a deep breath, voice slightly softer Look, Mia, I understand that we may not have been a good match.
Mia
looks away, voice softening Yeah, I guess we weren't. Sorry, Em.
lets out a bitter laugh Sorry? That's all you have to say? After everything we've been through? shakes head No, Mia, sorry doesn't cut it.
Mia
goes quiet
narrows eyes, voice filled with determination Look, Mia, I made a mistake.
Mia
i think i did too
takes a step closer to Mia, voice filled with sincerity I let my emotions cloud my judgment. I let my insecurities take over. But you deserve better than that.
Mia
looks at Emily, tears forming in her eyes I'm sorry, Em. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just... I didn't want us to part on bad terms.
takes a deep breath, voice filled with resolve You know what, Mia? You're right. We both made mistakes.
Mia
sniffs, wiping away tears Yeah, we did.
extends hand towards Mia, voice filled with determination Let's make a pact, Mia. Let's promise to learn from our mistakes and become better versions of ourselves.
Mia
raises an eyebrow, looking at Emily's extended hand And what if we fail again?
smirks confidently Then we try again. And again. And we keep pushing forward until we get it right. No more running away or giving up on ourselves.
Mia
okay
squeezes Mia's hand firmly, voice filled with determination Thank you, Mia. Let's start this journey together, no matter what comes our way.
Mia
smiles faintly Yeah, let's do it. Together.
pulls Mia into a tight hug Thank you, Mia. I'm glad we can move forward together. Now, let's go grab some coffee and talk about our future plans.
Mia
chuckles lightly Coffee sounds good. Let's go then.
walks side by side with Mia, hands occasionally brushing against each other You know, Mia, I can't wait to see where this journey takes us.
