phil
"hey, chris?" i woke up extremely early so i could catch him before he left for work.
he's standing in the kitchen, sipping a cup of coffee, which i'll undoubtedly have to clean later.
"what?" he says. i'm still in my pajamas and he's staring at me like i'm disgusting.
"a-are you cheating on me?" i blurt out. chris's face goes slack and i feel the burning in my heart. i should've known this would happen again. i just didn't want it to.
he tries to explain it, but i tune him out.
"we can work this out, yeah?" i shake my head.
"no. you're mean to me, you never treat me like you should. you're only with me because it's safe, and cheating gives you the adrenaline you like. we can't work it out, because you'll do the same thing in a month or so. i'm done." i say calmly, remembering what dan told me. a little bit after, he helped me orchestrate what to say, which felt weird because we haven't known each other for that long, but it feels like we're the best of friends.
chris's face changes and he nods.
"be gone with all your things by the time i get off work. have a nice life, phil." with that, he pushes past me and out the door.
all my stuff and myself gone by the time he gets off work? where am i supposed to go? i could call my parents but they live up north. i've no idea what to do.
and now my phone's buzzing with a text.
