Boy: hi

 

Girl: how are you?                                                                         Why does she care? I left her.

 

Boy: really good. what about you?                            

 

Girl: great! everything's great!                                                                  Great? How come she’s great? What’s great in her life?

 

Boy: that's good.

 

Girl: yeah.                                                                                  

 

Boy: look, i'm sorry, but I had to leave. i couldn't be with you anymore.       Not a lie.

 

Girl: No, it's okay. I understand.                                             

 

Boy: Are you sure?                             Everything can’t be great.

 

Girl: yes.

 

Boy: stop lying.                                                           

 

Girl: What?                                                                 

 

Boy: I know you. I know you're not okay.                  I still know her.                 

 

Girl: Fine. I'm not okay, and I don't understand why you just left me! you didn't even say goodbye!

 

Boy: I know. I'm sorry.                                           What else can I say? I can’t tell her I regret it . . . what if she asks me to come back? I can’t do that. I had to get away. 

 

Girl: why didn't you say goodbye?                                           I couldn’t see you cry. I knew you’d cry.

 

Boy: it would've been too hard. breakups are messy.              

 

Girl: you're just a coward.                                                                                Am I? 

 

Boy: I know.                                                                                                    I am. 

 

Girl: come home. i still love you.                     Please. Don’t tempt me.

 

Boy: i can't. i've met someone else.                        Anything to keep her from wanting me back. She’s too good for me.

 

Girl: but i love you. 

 

Boy: i knew that when i left. it changed nothing.                             

 

Girl: give me a second chance.                 I wish I could.

 

Boy: i'm sorry, but i have to go.                                                          

 

Girl: no! stay!                                                           Please. Stop making this harder than it has to be.

 

Boy: i really am sorry.                                                                              And I still love you too.

 

Boy logs off. 

 

Girl: i am, too.

Author's Note

this is the boy's perspective in an online conversation with a girl he used to date. i used to have it as him being a total jerk and uncaring about how badly he hurt her, but i decided to change it. it didn't sit right with me. here he still cares, but for unknown reasons, he can't come back. i like this version much better.

This is the kinda guy I would not be friends with. Lying itself is bad. But lying knowing that you've hurt someone else and not caring s just heartless!! Don't like the guy. Otherwise it was amazing!! I loved it from a different point of view. Really changed a lot.

Ohmigawd i wanna beat that boy!!! He is such a jerk!!!!!! But this was very well written and props 2 u on knowing how most boys think!!!

[paparapapa]

Ugh. Such a jerk! :)))) I seriously want to punch him in the face right now. Haha. Anyway, it's really cool that you also wrote about his side. Haha. But I was kind of expecting that he'd be less of a jerk. Like he is sincere or something. Guess I was wrong. Haha.You surprised me. Great job. ;)

Awesome. I love reading stories from someone else's point of view, I was thinking of doing a chapter of violet eyes like that. From Clara Rose's point of view or something. AWESOME!

lol i like it and no you did not take it to far as the boy because it could happen like that whether it be a boy or girl .... also like that you made a second one with the boys perspective...great write
