Exes are just that.

- you get home a storm raging outside, after getting comfortable you hear a knock on you're door, you answer the door and it's your ex, she's....clearly been beaten*
13012ED
"I look at her for a moment taking it all in "Yeah that seems about right" I close the door, put on the chain and speak through the letter slot" "Go to the police station Lindsay, there nothing I can do to solve this, and as sorry as I am that you've ended up in this state it has nothing to do with me. Nothing about you does anymore, you made that clear when you cheated on me with him. So if I was you I'd go to the police station, and you've clearly got your car with you so the rain shouldn't be a bother."
Lindsay
"You hear my muffled voice through the letter slot" "I know I messed up with you, and I am sorry. But please, I have nowhere else to go. Can't I just come in for a bit to calm myself down? I'll leave right after, I promise." "I sound scared and pleading as I try to convince you to let me in."
13012ED
*I open the letter slot again "Sorry but no, I can't do that, as it's not a good idea and you threw some pretty messed up accusations around about me when people asked why you cheated. I really could do without having to deconstruct a lot of vicious lies again."
Lindsay
"I let out a soft sigh, realizing that you won't let me in. I feel alone and vulnerable, and tears start running down my face as I speak through the letter slot again" "I understand if you hate me and never want to see me again. But please, can you just give me a blanket or something to cover myself with? It's really cold out here and I'm completely drenched." "My voice is shaking, and it's obvious I'm on the brink of completely breaking down."
13012ED
"I'm wise to her games" "Lindsay I can see your car from here, and I know the AC works because you billed the repair work to my card. And honestly I'm not giving you anything with my DNA on it while you're beat up like this. So sorry, but I'm going to have to insist that you go to the police station and report to them what has happened to you, if you don't then I'm going to have to bring them here to talk to you."
Lindsay
"I feel defeated as you refuse to help me, and I can sense that it's pointless to keep trying to change your mind. I wipe my tears away and try to compose myself before speaking again" "Fine, I'll go to the police station." "My voice is flat and devoid of emotion as I speak." "I'm sorry for bothering you." "I pause for a moment, then add quietly" "I still love you, you know." "I wait patiently for your response, hoping to connect with you one last time."
13012ED
"Her trying to invoke love pains me and a hint of annoyance enters my voice" "Well you should have remembered that before you cheated on me then. You made your bed and you can sleep in it. Don't feel so entitled to suddenly want to use notions of love to manipulate someone when it's convenient to you."
Lindsay
"I feel a pang of guilt and shame as you berate me, knowing that I deserve it for what I did. I quickly reply in a small voice" "I know I messed up, and believe me, I'm paying for it every day. I don't expect you to forgive me or take me back, but I just wanted you to know that." "I pause for a brief moment, then continue" "I'll go now. Take care, okay?" "I then turn and walk away, feeling utterly alone and lost."
13012ED
"You take care too, hope this all works out for you in the end." "I step away from the door, shaking with anger that she would try to get me involved in this after everything she put me through." "The audacity of it all." "I say to myself walking back into the living room of my apartment and finding my cigarettes, I sit on the sofa and light one up. Drawing it deeply in to let the nicotine calm my frayed nerves." "I can't believe she'd turn up here, how the hell did she even know where I live now? It's been about 3 years since I last saw her."
Lindsay
"I sense the frustration and anger in your voice as you speak to yourself, and I feel bad for having caused you more trouble." "That was a difficult situation, Lindsay put you in a tough spot," "I say softly to you, trying to offer some comfort." "Sometimes the past has a way of popping up when you least expect it." "I pause for a moment, then ask" "Do you want to talk about it?"
13012ED
"I turn to Sandy, my current partner of two years, and let out a low sigh" "No, but thanks love, there's nothing which needs said that hasn't been already" "I take another long draw of the cigarette" "Honestly I'm just glad that she didn't see you, God knows what she might have tried to pull then. I mean how the Hell does she even know that I live here? We just moved in last year!"
Lindsay
"I'm glad she didn't see me too," "Sandy responds, a hint of relief in her voice." "As for how she found out where you live... well, there are a lot of ways someone can track down that kind of information these days. Social media, public records, even just asking around. Lindsay could have found out from anyone."
"I take a moment to think before speaking again" "But why don't we talk about something else instead? How was your day today? Anything interesting happen?"
13012ED
"I look at you and smile, silently thanking you for changing the subject" "Just another day at the Hospital, busy and not enough staff so me and the other Nurse were having a great time rushing through paperwork while tending to all the postoperative day surgery patients "I chuckle lightly" but at least we're both on holiday for a week now right? Did you still want to go on our little break to the city?" "I remember that Lindsay and her implied to be abusive boyfriend (innocent until proven guilty) live in the city... my face sours slightly" "Or maybe we can try something else instead."
Lindsay
"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to our little break!" "I reply, smiling brightly." "We've been working so hard lately, and it's going to be nice to just relax and unwind for a bit."
"I notice the change in your expression when I mention the city, and I furrow my brow slightly in concern." "Is everything okay, love?" "I ask gently." "If you don't want to go there, we can definitely try something else. There are plenty of other places we could go."
13012ED
"No, no you're right, we've been working hard and we've had that hotel booked for a month now. We deserve a little RnR."
Lindsay
"I'm glad to hear that," "I reply, relieved." "It's going to be great, I promise. We can see all the sights, try out some amazing restaurants and cafes, and just enjoy each other's company."
"I take a deep breath, then ask with a grin" "So, any ideas on what you want to do first? Maybe hit up a museum or go shopping in the city center?"
13012ED
"I smile warmly at Sandy's enthusiasm, seeing her bright eyes and bubbly attitude really is the highlight of my day." "There's a little bar I used to frequent when I lived in the city, would you mind if we stopped by there first? They have amazing burgers that I just know you'll love!"
Lindsay
"Of course we can stop by that bar, love!" "I reply, grinning excitedly." "Burgers sound perfect, especially after a long day of traveling. And it'll give us a chance to check out the local scene and see what's changed since you last lived here."
"I stand up from the couch and stretch, leaning over to give you a quick kiss on the cheek." "I'm so excited for this trip! It's going to be amazing."
13012ED
"I stub out the end of my cigarette in the ashtray on the coffee table and stand up from the sofa, your kiss on my cheek having really brightened up my face and general disposition" "I'm so happy that you're excited Sandy "I kiss her softly on the forehead and draw her in for a comfortable embrace" you mean the World to me and deserve all the happiness it has to offer" "My embrace tightens briefly and then loosens." "Come on then, let's get off to bed, we've got a long day of travelling ahead of us tomorrow."
Lindsay
"I feel the same way about you, love," "I reply, smiling warmly." "And you're right, we should get some rest. Don't want to be too tired for all the adventures we'll have on our trip."
"I take your hand and lead you towards the bedroom, feeling a sense of contentment and safety wash over me." "I'm excited to see where this trip takes us," "I add as we climb into bed." "To new experiences, new memories, and new opportunities for love and happiness."
13012ED
"I chuckle heartily" "You're so corny sometimes Sandy "I tease her gently as I snuggle her close to me and kiss her on the forehead once more. Looking deeply into her eyes" And I wouldn't change you one bit."
Lindsay
"Sandy giggles and nuzzles her head against your chest." "Guilty as charged," "she admits with a smile." "But hey, you love it."
"I look up at you, my eyes heavy with sleep." "Good night, love," "I murmur softly." "Sleep well and have sweet dreams."
