My Sleezy Roomate Jared

It's been weeks, no, months since Jared has been staying at my apartment. Ever since his ex girlfriend Jill broke up with him he hasn't been the same. He's been more non attentive, cares less about doing chores, and does nothing but bother me. It's time he moved on and out of my house.

"Hey dude" I walked into the living room where Jared sat, eating the Hawaiian onion chips I had just bought the day before."are those my chips?"

"You didn't label it" he shrugged.

"Who in the world labeled their food?" I asked.

"I dunno, roommates? Besides, isn't sharing caring?" He gave me that soppy grin again like he usually does when he says something stupid.

I sighed."Look Jared, we need to talk."

He stood up off the couch, with crumbs on his bottom pouted lip."oh no, I knew this day was coming" he whimpered.

"Sorry Jared but you need to move out, Gale-"

"Jill."

"My bad. JILL and you have been broken up for a while and you still haven't moved on yet. It's bumming me out, plus the fact that you don't even do anything to help around the house."

"I pay half of the bills for the house!"

"Barely!" I yelled. I took a deep breath as I pinched the bridge of my nose."come on man, it's getting ridiculous. You need to go"

"Where?!" Jared cried.

"I don't know! Go live with your parents!"

"But I don't wanna aaaaa!"

"Well you can't stay here anymore. I'll give you a month to pack. Anything you don't finish packing is going to the salvation army."
