Chapter 1: The breakup Text
I was sitting on my bed next to my friend Aria while she was questioning me about something I wasn’t really paying attention to, I was staring at my phone screen when I suddenly got a text from my boyfriend. I quickly opened it to read what the text says.
The text reads, "I can’t do this anymore. I suggest we take a break and think about if this relationship is making us happy. Let’s just break up. I’m sorry. We can still be friends though". I stared at my phone, my heart sinking like a stone in the ocean. The text from max glared at me, its words slicing through my soul. I felt a chill run down my spine. "After everything you’ve done, you think a simple text will suffice?" I whispered to myself.
I took a deep breath and tried to compose myself before responding. I didn’t want to lash out at him, but I couldn’t help but feel hurt and betrayed.
I typed: "I can’t believe you’re doing this now. We just talked things through, and now you are leaving me?"
I stared at the message for a moment, waiting for his response. The seconds ticked by, but there was no reply. I felt a mix of impatience and anxiety as I wondered what he was going to say.
Finally, my phone buzzed as a new message appeared on the screen:
"I know we just talked, but still feel like this is the right thing to do. I just don’t think we are meant to be together".
I read his message and felt a wave of anger wash over me. How could he be so calm after dropping this bomb on me?
I clenched my phone tightly as I typed out my reply. "You’re not even going to try and fight for us?"
"I’m sorry. I know it’s not fair to you, but I just can’t do this anymore." He replied
Really, he is sorry. I took a deep breath before responding. "You’re right, it’s not fair. I gave you a second chance after you cheated, and this is how you repay me? Through a text message? That’s disrespectful and heartless."
