He looked at me and said, “Let’s get out of here. Let’s find our own place.” As we walked, he found a man that he knew. I stood off to the side because honestly that guy was strange. You couldn’t see his face straight on because he was always in the shadows. When he came back he tried to hide something in his hand.
“What’s that?” I asked.
He replied, “Nothing interesting.”
I ripped the bag from his hands and looked through it. Advil? Tylenol? I unscrewed the tops and they were sealed.
“If you needed some I could’ve given you some!”
“It’s not the kind of medicine.”
“Let’s go test it out!” I exclaimed as I ran to this little hidden, abandoned Victorian garden.
I ripped off the plastic seal from the Advil bottle and he screamed, “No! Not that one! Try this one!” He quickly exchanged my bottle for his.
I put the little pill in my mouth and only then did I think about asking what it was for.
“It’s to help you ACE your tests.”
We heard some noise and before hand we decided to make out in case that happened. Finally, we separate when we hear ahem.
Someone I had not seen for 5 years stood there. I was not happy to see him. So I grabbed my person and started to walk away.
The guy I had not seen for 5 years stopped me and asked, “What you don’t recognize me?”
I turned to him and said, “I’m sorry I’ve got to go.”
So he grabbed me by my waist and tried to kiss me. I pushed him away and showed him my left ring finger.
“I’m engaged. This isn’t going to work out. I’ve moved on.”
He looked at my ring, looked at me, and looked at my person. He then proceeded to punch my person.
I screamed, “No!” But it was too late.
My person, always the passive one, just stumbled back, stunned that someone could that to him. I ran to him and helped him up and with his cut.
My ex wasn’t playing fair. He never did.
He looked at me and exclaimed, “So this is how it ends?! You with him?! He can’t even take care of you!”
I responded calmly, “No. This ended 5 years ago when you slept with that blonde. Now if you excuse us we are going to leave.”
Great Perhaps
