“Let me guess, you and J are in another fight?” I asked my friend Addie as she dramatically burst into my flat. I swear at least once a week she comes over because she and her boyfriend J are in a fight.
“You guessed right. Now where are those peanut m & m’s?” addie wondered.
“In the cupboard as usual. So what happened this time?” Addie went into the cupboard looking for the candy. She and J had been going out for almost two years now. But they fought all the time. We all wondered why they were still together.
“Well, J was reading my newest screenplay and he says that he doesn’t like the one of my characters because he says I based the character on him and that I portrayed him in a bad fashion or something like that. So I say I didn’t he says I did, and a fight followed.” I rolled my eyes, typical so typical.
Addie continued, “I’m kinda getting sick of this whole fighting all the time deal. I’m almost ready to call it quits.”
“So why don’t you?”
Abs
“Huh?” J questioned me. He had just explained to me about the current fight he and Addie were in. So then I asked him why he didn’t break up with her.
“Why don’t you break up with her?” I repeated. Jeez, some people.
“Know what. That’s a great idea.” J told me. Just about then my mouth and everyone elses fell to the floor. I wasn’t actually serious.
“J, don’t you like Addie?” Scott asked him.
“Yeah, I will miss her, but we fight too much for our own good. It’s bound to happen sooner or later. Why not sooner?” We all looked at eachother trying to think up things to say to change his mind.
“sean say something.” Ritch hissed to him. But even Sean, J’s best friend, couldn’t think of a thing to say.
“Alright guys, you’re on.” Some stageperson came and told us. Thank goodness. Maybe J would forget all about our suggestion while we did our performance and stuff. Otherwise, I think Addie might come and kill us all tonight. And I really did not want that to happen.
Addie
I looked around the house. Yes, I think I had gotten everything I wanted. I figured J could keep all the furniture and everything. I had decided to move out to LA and relocate my office there. Usually I would commute to LA when I was working on a movie, but there was nothing keeping me in London so why waste the money on airfare?
I then decided to leave J a note.
“Dear J,
Sorry love. It had to end sometime. I decided to end it now. Hopefully...”
J
“...you’ll understand. You can keep the house and everything in it. I’m going over to my dad’s for a couple of days till I move permanently to LA. Well I guess I’ll be seeing you.
Love,
Addie
“Aghh!!!” I screamed. She had beaten me to it. She had broken up with me before I could break up with her. But I also had to go do that dumb interview.
I looked around the house and it felt different. Oh yeah, Addie’s gone. I can now do whatever I want. I then realized for the first time how much I was going to miss her.
