....
“Wait, what are you saying?”
“I'm confused, that's what I'm saying.”
“I don't understand you.”
“Exactly…I don't understand myself either.”
“Come on, be serious here Daniel.”
“Babe, I'm the most serious you've seen me right now.”
“Please, Danny…please what are you saying? What do you mean?”
“I'm confused about us, about…”
“Me…?”
“Tanya, I'm so so sorry…”
“Wait, I don't understand. Danny, please be serious.”
“I'M FUCKING SERIOUS EL! What else do you want me to say?”
“But…I don't understand. You don't want to be with me anymore?”
“Yes, that's what I'm saying. God can’t you not be dumb for once? This is why–”
“You don't want to be with me anymore right?”
“Tanya…”
“No no, that's it. I'm stupid and I'm ugly and…and you don't love me.”
“It's not that–”
“No you don't! You don't fucking love me! You never did you fucking liar! You just loved wasting my time.”
“Tanya, please listen to me. I don't want us to end off on a bad–”
“HA HA, well that's not fucking possible! You want us to keep talking? You want us to be friends? You literally lied to me that you love me! You think I'm stupid? I'm not fucking lovable and you just–”
“I love you Tanya, I always have! I still do…it's just…”
“What? You found someone who's prettier and who's not dumb? And now you want to go to be with her?”
“I'm sorry…it just happened.”
“Fuck you Daniel.”
“Tanya, you know I still love you.”
“And what do you want me to do with that?”
“I still want you to be in my life.”
“I don't think you get it.
“All my life I've always believed no one will ever love me. And then I met you and you were the sweetest person ever. You were the most amazing human I'd ever encountered ever since I stepped into this planet. You told me you loved me and you acted like that. God you're such a good actor. Whenever you looked at me, you looked like you loved every part of me and that you couldn't just imagine a life where i would not be in it. I felt like the luckiest person in the world with just the thought that I knew you! And we were okay and we've been okay and now you do this…”
“I promise it's not about you.”
“That's a fucking lie! I'm not enough! Because if I was then you wouldn't leave me for some…girl. Some girl that is so much better. One that's enough! And I believe you'd leave her to so I just wish she's not a good person because a good person doesn't deserve to have someone as horrible as you.”
“I know you don't mean that Tanya.”
“I actually mean every word I said Daniel.”
“Can't you just take this like a normal person?”
“So what I'm crazy now?”
“Tanya calm down okay? I truly wish you the happiest life. Someone will love you more than I ever did.”
“What did I do wrong…?”
“Nothing."
“Should I change something about me? My hair, the way I talk, should I read more books, use more makeup?”
“You don't need to change anything about yourself Tanya. You're perfect the way you are.”
“Oh really? So you don't want to be with someone who's perfect? I could be less perfect if that's what you want.”
“I don't want you Tanya. No matter what you do. There I said it.”
“I just don't get it.”
“Sometimes things don't work out Tanya. Please, this is as hard for me as it is for you.”
“How can you even say that? You said forever and…I almost bought it. I trusted you. I don't trust people. And you just want to throw me away like that.”
“I'm not throwing you away.”
“I don't see you crying Daniel. I don't see any emotion on your face. You're so fucking calm about this and its making me sick to my stomach.”
“I'm sorry Tanya. I'm really sorry that I'm doing this to you. I know you'll be very confused and…I just thought I knew what I wanted. I just don't know what I'm doing and–”
“I get it. It's fine. I wish you well. Have fun hurting people who love you just because you're confused.”
“I don't blame you. Or anyone. You wouldn't get it.”
“Goodbye Daniel.”
“Tanya I'm sorry. You'd find someone that isn't fucking stupid like me. Someone who loves you very much and won't leave you.”
“Stop being fucking sweet and just fucking leave."
