"YOU GET ON MY FUCKING NERVES ODELL!" Madeline's hands flailed at her sides while she argued with her boyfriend. "You're always gone as then when you do come home, you're too busy with whatever the fuck you do to spend time with me! I'm tired." Her hot tears streaked down her cheeks while he looked at her just as angry as she was.
"Man you act like you the only thing I got going on. My life don't revolve around you Maddie." His chest jumped up and down as he stared at her.
"Fuck you!" She yelled, tossing a pillow from his bed towards his face.
"Fuck you!" Odell dodged it and stormed out of the room, only having Madeline follow closely behind him. "Leave me alone! You always starting some shit and what the fuck for?"
"Because you're a terrible boyfriend Odell. You're always gone, when your hear you never have time for me, when you singable time for me you always cut it short to go God knows where, and then when I bring it up to you, you get an attitude and wanna make me seem like I'm going crazy!" Her words raced out of her mouth, leaving him no time to interject.
"Well maybe if you weren't so uptight and fucking clingy and had a fucking life other than tryna suck my dick all the time, you wouldn't feel so damn neglected. You think just 'cause you burned all your bridges with your friends to be with me, I'm supposed tondo the same?! FUCK THAT!" His voice boomed through the house causing Madeline to jump.
"So that's how you really feel then?" Her voice was soft, riddled in hurt.
Odell looked at her again, this time realizing the magnitude of everything he'd just said. "No, I didn't mean it like that."
"No, no it's cool. I'm just a clingy girl you felt bad for so you cuffed me. You only care about me when I'm doing something for you sexually. I get it." She threw her hands up, "We're done. You don't have to worry a soy me anymore," and with that she walked out of his front door, not hearing a word he said as she left. Her heart was already broken, the damage was done.

A week later the two hadn't had any contact, per Madeline's actions. She refused to answer his calls and FaceTime requests. It wasn't until Odell popped up at her apartment that weekend that she was forced into speaking with him.
"Yes Odell?" Her head was placed between the small space between her door and the door frame as she cracked the door.
"I wanted to talk to you." He looked like he'd been through a lot in the last week. "Can I please come in?"
"No." She said shortly. "I don't want you here. I really don't even know why I answered the door."
"Because you love me." He tried cracking a smile that wasn't returned, ha slowly fading away. "Well can you at least step outside and talk to me face to face?"
"Whatever. Make it quick, I have plans with people who actually enjoy my presence beyond sex." She stepped out, dressed in a form fitting pair of jeans and v-neck t-shirt.
"Look, I'm really sorry about the things unsaid last week. I didn't mean it like that, I didn't really mean it at all, I was just angry and said somethings I shouldn't have said." He watched her as she leaned against the rails of the stairwell. "You know I love you Maddie and I'd do anything for you, I just get really stupid and I can't handle being with someone who lives me as much as you do."
Madeline's eyes looked everywhere but at his face. She wasn't really having this conversation but the things he was saying kind of made her feel better. "Well maybe you shouldn't be dating me then. Since I'm obviously too much for you." For the first time she looked at him in the eyes and a wave of emotions washed over her. All the animosity she had towards him was gone, and the only thing she was feeling was love.
"That's the thing, I don't want nobody else's but you. You know that. It's always gonna be you." He grabbed ear hands and squeezed them gently. "I love you Maddie, I'm crazy about you."
She smiled for the first time and looked up at him. "I love you too, Odell."
"So are we still not together? What's the motion?" There was so much hope in his eyes.
"We're back together but Odell I wanna take it slow, that's what our issue is. Everything happened so fast. We break up and rush back into things without really working on them." She got on her tippy toes and placed a kiss on his cheek. "Now, I gotta go finish getting ready to go out. I'll call you later."
