"Hello..." Lauren says as she knocks on my door

"What do you want Lauren?" I ask

"Can I come in?" She asks

"Why" I say

"...I'm sorry that I kicked your boyfriend out" she says as she opens the door

"He's not my boyfriend" I say

"Ex boyfriend" she says

"...I'm sorry that I freaked out on you, it's just I spent so much of my life on him, it feels weird just throwing that away" I say

"But... he's an asshole?" She says

"Yeah... but I dedicated so much of my life to that asshole" I say

"I know the feeling" she says

"Do you" I say

"Yeah actually I do. A few months ago my girlfriend of 3 years broke up with me out of the blue" she says

"Why? Did she ever tell you?" I ask

"Not really. She called me over, told me I was a mess and she needed to "empty out the clutter" or some shit and then it was over" she says

"Clutter?" I ask

"Yeah... I guess I was holding her back or something" she says looking like she wanted to cry

"Damn, I'm sorry" I say

"Yeah it's fine... I'm over it" she says shaking any sign of emotion off of her face

".... You don't have to do that you know" I say noticing she's an actual human being

"Do what?" She asks

"Hide that your capable of being vulnerable" I laugh

"I'm not hiding anything" she laughs

"Well if it's any consolation, I don't think you're clutter" I say

"Thanks?" She says

"Kind of bitchy but everyone needs a bitch in their lives right?" I smile

"I suppose" she laughs

"Look at that" I smile

"What now" she laughs

"Miss bitch face can smile after all" I laugh

"Yeah well miss bitch face is very selective with her smiles" she says

"I can tell" I laugh

"I can tell" I laugh
