Men Aren't My Cup Of Tea (LGBT+)

B r o k e n h e a r t e d - I

       " I'm so sorry, Ris. But... but I think we should split. " My boyfriend of two years says to me as I stand there in shock. 

crash, goes my mug of tea.

          " Why? We were very perfect togther! You mean everything to me. " I ask. Why does he want to leave me when we fit together so well like a lock and a key, when I can barely live without him?
" I'm... " He turns his head away from me. " I need to go. " He had already packed his bags, ready to leave me. He walks away from me and closer to the door as tears stream down my face, but he doesn't tear up at all. " I guess this is farewell. A hug? " He says as he stops at the doorway, reaching his arms out toward me. I walk closer to him, a plan of revenge in my brain. I grab my mug of tea I haven't yet finished which is still hot, and as I am just inches close to him, I splash my tea all over him.
            " Fück you, you little brat! " I scream. " Go away, and never come back again. Go find some other slüt out there who'll never be as good as me. Go. " He stands still on my doorway, his mouth in a big O. " I said, GO. AWAY. "
            After he leaves, I brew a mug of herbal tea, the kind that will help soothe and calm you down. I then grab my laptop and watch Netflix. ( but don't chill, because.. yeah. )
            " This just in, Iris Lee, writer on Wattpad and a desperate brokenhearted girl who her boyfriend has just left her a few moments ago, now calls the love expert Allison to blame the tragedy on her. " My bff Allison, who I have recently called a few minutes ago, says in a reporter-like voice on the phone, but fails miserably. " Oh god, that sounds dumb af. Now, now. Don't cry, girl. There are still plenty of fish in the sea! " She assures me. I always like her comfort since it's so assuring and cheerful and full of energy, I can never get tired of it. 

Allison has been my friend since sixth grade. We've been friends for seven years now, and she's the best best friend I'll ever get in this life. She's an actor prodigy, and has made appearances in so many best-selling films. She's also a reader, and a reviewer for all my books. Yes, she has read all of them, and she would point out things that I should improve in my writing. Could you wish for anything more in a friend?

" But, Al, I don't think I can recover that quick to find a new guy. Like, think about it; He's my boyfriend of two years. period. Two whole years, Allison. We were so in love, I don't know what the heck got into him. "      It's true, I can't believe he just left me a few hours ago. And the way he left, though; no tears and hurt visible. Are all guys like this? Why are they so much of a douche? Nevertheless, I hate them now, and I don't think I'll be in a relationship anytime soon. Or maybe I'll never be in one anymore. 
I'm now afraid to love.

" Yeah.. " Allison sighs. " To be honest, I don't understand why he left you, too. Even if I try to make a theory up, it would sound unreasonable. " 

" I think...I can't f*cking love anymore, Al. I didn't really know what is love in the first place..I'm gonna go single now. " I say, tears welling up again. " I don't want to be hurt from it anymore. And you know what? love's like tea. Here; imagine if tea is your life. If you add too much sugar and milk, it would be too sweet and not tea anymore. You try to remove the sugar and milk, but you can't. even if you can, there would still be remnants of them anyway. If you don't add anything into it, you can eat it but it would taste bland, but eventually you'll get used to it. Or maybe not drink it at all. "

         " That's a...unique way of metaphorizing. " Allison laughs. I laugh too. " But I respect your point of view, though. It's all up to you if you want to retreat and recover, but at least try to get back into love. It's not that bad, if you meet the right person. " I can sense her smile through the phone.

Getting back into love? Pah, no. I already found my true love, and it's tea.

I'm just kidding about the tea thing, but...

How could you even continue loving after you've been betrayed by it?
