❝Hello?❞
❝Welcome to the Heartbreak Hotline, where we help mend all broken hearts. Please stay on the line for the next available representative.❞
*ring ring*
❝Hi! Thanks for calling Heartbreak Hotline! This is Representative 103. How can I assist you today?❞
❝I'm interested in becoming a client. I really need some help. Like now.❞
❝Umm...okay. Well you sound really desperate.❞
❝Um, well isn't that the point of calling a hotline?❞
❝Yeah, well I just thought I'd remind you of how ridiculous you sound right now hehe. You sound like you're seriously desperate for some help bud. ❞
❝I am! I need like a 3 month subscription.❞
❝Wait, what? Three months? You can't be serious, right?❞
❝Unfortunately, this is no joke. I've run into quite a slump. ❞
❝Wait, wait. So just how long are you planning on using our services, dude? Most people use them for like one to four days max, no offense.❞
❝Well I'm not 'most people' okay? I seriously just need some guidance. And that guidance is very possibly going to be three months long...❞
❝You have got to be kidding me.❞
❝Please? I'm a disaster. I really need help.❞
❝Well let's see if I can help you now. Then maybe you won't need a subscription. What's the problem here?❞
❝Well there's this girl at school and I sort of have a thing for her...❞
❝Okay, so what's the problem with that?❞
❝I am so freaking scared to walk up to her man. It's like I try to, but then I see her long, beautiful red hair and those gorgeous green eyes and oh my-❞
❝You do realize that this hotline is for people who already have heartbreak? Like people who have just gotten broken up with or rejected...?❞
❝Yeah...and?❞
❝And you just made it sound like you're trying to avoid heartbreak instead of dealing with it...❞
❝...❞
❝You still there?❞
❝Yeah.❞
❝Okay, so normally I don't do this but I guess I'll make an exception just because I need the money.❞
❝Wow, I feel so wanted.❞
❝You can take it or leave it, boo. Either way, the offer's on the table.❞
❝I hate feeling like a second choice though.❞
❝We all do, but sometimes we have to learn how to not be so picky and take what we can get.❞
❝That's pretty much the worst advice ever but unfortunately, I guess I have no choice but accept the offer.❞
❝Being honest, now I'm kind of afraid of what's in store for me...But anyway, that'll be thirty dollars.❞
❝Wait, for what? For this conversation?❞
❝No silly, for my services. Because my darling boy, you cannot build confidence overnight. So what's your credit card number?❞
❝Wait, wait, wait, so please clear this up for me. What do I get out of this? What am I getting out of these thirty dollars, huh?❞
❝Well, let's see. You'll get a two week session with me, 103! You can call as many times as you'd like within a two week span and I'll train you on how to get the girl of your dreams. Plus, you also get to listen to my sweet, sultry voice! It really is a win-win for you if I'm being honest.❞
❝Seriously?❞
❝You asked, I answered.❞
❝So I get two weeks for thirty dollars, unlimited calling?❞
❝That is what I just said.❞
❝Is that sass?❞
❝No, just the truth is all.❞
❝I still think it's sass.❞
❝Are you going to pay or nah? Sorry to cut it short boo, but there are other people waiting on the line if you're not interested.❞
❝Okay, okay. Fine.❞
❝So imma need those digits.❞
❝Isn't that a bit too fast? You don't even know my name or-❞
❝Of your credit card, you idiot. Your credit card.❞
❝Oh.❞
