"But then she rang ain today"

No, no, no

"And she said she’s confused and doesn’t knohat she wants I think so psycho

"So, I spoke to her a bit, and, honestly, it’s just pissedto read es?

I sit quietly as he opens his phone and starts tellingto just talk to her on the phone Figure out what’s happening We’ve been talking a fair bit over the last feeeks She said she needed that tiave it to her, then she ended it, and I went off Then she ca my head in So, I told her I just want to talk with her on the phone, but she won’t answer"

Bitch

I don’t say that out loud, but I just nod and encourage hiout She toldif she talks to me, it will confuse her decision and that as much as she’d love to come back, she is happy and wants to move forith her life, blah blah blah I told her I loved her, that I wanted to help her, all the bullshit, but she just refuses to ring otten to that point, where I just want to end it and move on She obviously doesn’t love me I know that I’ve always known that Deep down, I knew you were right all along I just wanted her to say it"

She is saying it

She’s said it a thousand ti to another e "I asked her to talk She said why I said you knohy You knohat she said?"

I shrug, eager to knohat she said

"She said, ‘oh, I thought youto tell me you have won a ry, selfish, piece of shit All she cares about is"All she fucking cares about isI can’t believe she said that," I say, shaking my head "She should be asha to hear fro down there I can’t She obviously doesn’t want me there"

Of course she doesn’t want hiames Games that will only end in disaster It’s black and white, in the big sches She can’t and won’t try and handle her life on her own, so she’s clutching onto the only person she knoill keep coain, no o, and then has a freak out when he actually starts et hiht help?"

He looks to irl once, and recently I spoke with her," I begin "She ith this guy for a long time but broke it off because she didn’t love hi, she kept hi, wouldn’t fully end it I asked her the other day why she did that, why she didn’t just let hio if she didn’t love him You want to know her answer?"

He nods, focused on the next words that come out ofthere was so for her, that there was someone out there who loved her and couldn’t live without her She ads for hiain, just to keep hi her She didn’t care for him, not even a little, she just liked how he made her feel"

Roman stares at me for a minute, then says, "Write that down I want to use that"

I laugh softly and shake my head "No way"
