RODY'S POV:

"I don't think I can keep doing this with you" , Manon said as I stood in front of her

"Wh.. What?"

"Just, This, Its too much... And not enough in all the wrong places" I looked at her, confused

"I..I don't understand, we were... I thought we were doing good"

"Ugh, Nothing happened, Rody-" She looked irritated...

"Just- Just give me some time!- I've been job hunting after the last place, I'll get enough money, we can go out somewhere nice, I promise!-"

"Rody..." 

"Is it the apartment?-  I'm saving up for a nicer place, really-"

"Rody!"

"Manon!"  I said out loud

"Its not just your apartment or our dates, its-! I cant keep watching you ruin any semblance of progress you make with yourself while trying to make me happy, its exhausting-"

I can't believe what she's saying "But-"

"You aren't... ready, for a relationship, you're killing yourself over me and- I can't have you spending money on someone you don't need"

"I-" I was on the verge of tears right know, how could she say this?

"You mean well, and I do love you still, I really do. But until you can learn to care about yourself, this will only do harm for the both of us... And I..."

"..?"

She turned to face me "... I'll see you around, Rody"

And she left, walking away. I stood there, tears falling down my face. I wipe them away and start walking back to my house How could she? how could she just leave me there saying I wasn't ready for a relationship? 

I reached my apartment and unlocked the door, went inside, and locked it. I collapsed on the couch/my bed and cried in a pillow. I heard the phone ring, I quickly wiped my tears and clear my throat and picked up the phone...

"Hello?"

"you're hired"
