FLASHBACK

May 2016

"Sooo... I've found someone!"

"Again?! Who?!"

"Again?! What's that supposed to mean?!"

"Well, seems like you get a new boyfriend every other week..."

"I--- THAT IS SO NOT TRUE! I've been single for almost a year now. How could you say that?"

"Okay sure. ALMOST a year! But still, it's true. You've had a lot of boyfriends and end up with the same result every single time..."

"Psh! You're one to talk! Your relationships don't last very long either..."

"I have a reasoning for that! I just haven't found the right one yet... You, on the other hand, go back to back in relationships and swear that each guy you've been with is the special one."

"I know, I know... but this time around, it won't be like that. I swear... I think... I think maybe, he's definitely the special one."

"Oh, here we go... the special one? Didn't you just meet this guy? How do you know for sure?"

"I just do. I can feel it..."

"You said that about the last 10 guys..."

"C'mon now! It has NOT been 10 guys."

"I'm pretty sure it has."

"Well, it's different now. I'm in love."

"Whatever you say... Who is this "special one" anyway?"

"Alberto..."

"Alberto? As in... ALBERTO DEL RIO?!"

"Yes..."

"Uh... I'm not sure how I feel about that."

"Why? What do you mean?"

"You and Alberto? I'm sorry but... no, just no."

"No? What makes you say that? He's amazing!"

"No... he's not amazing at all. He's... wait... isn't Del Rio married?! You're seeing a married man?!"

"Technically, he's single. Him and his wife are getting a divorce, it's just not final yet."

"Do you hear yourself? No, this isn't right. Del Rio isn't the one for you."

"You don't know that. How would you know who's right for me?"

"We've been best friends for years now. Don't you think I know you better than anyone else?!"

"Fine. But... but you haven't even met him yet!"

"We've both been working with him for years... he's an asshole!"

"You can't say that, you don't know that!"

"Everybody knows that! When you've got a bad reputation, everyone backstage knows about it! He's not good for you, he'll ruin you..."

"Wow. I can't believe you'd say that. He loves me! Why would he ruin me?"

"Please listen to me... I'm just looking out for you, okay? I want what's best for you more than anything. You know that... and Del Rio just isn't that! He doesn't even come close..."

"You know what, as my best friend... I expect you to support me and be happy for me. Regardless of who I'm dating. We're in love... he makes me happy. And if you can't accept that... then that's your fault. Maybe we don't need to be friends anymore..."

"Seriously, don't do this... he's gonna ruin you and your career..."

"If you're gonna be like that, then goodbye... just... just don't ever talk to me again."

"Wait... listen... please...?"
