"Well, what do you want?"
"I don't want it to end this way."
"Too late Kon, it was too late."
"I said I was sorry."
"Sorry doesn't cut it Kon."
"Cassie-"
"Hmm?"
"I love you."
"Bull shit."
"I mean it."
"Well, screwing some other girl behind my back isn't the best way to express that love Kon."
"It was an accident."
"Really? Did you trip and fall Kon? Oops? Sorry, didn't mean to put my-"
"No need to get graphic-"
"Well, it certainly was graphic between you and her."
"It was-"
"Don't dare say accident Kon…"
"- a mistake."
"Bull shit."
"Cassie…"
"Kon. You. Screwed. Cissie."
"Cass-"
"That was a mistake?"
"Cass-"
"I come home. Two months, Kon, we've been living together for two months. I come home I see you and-"
"Please-"
"Her. You. Fucked. Cissie."
"Listen to me-"
"Don't dare tell me you were drunk. I checked, first thing. No bottles lying around. There wasn't any alcohol in the house.
Dammit, I even smelled your breath."
"I'm-"
"Don't dare tell me you're fucking sorry."
"I didn't mean it to be like this."
"Kon, how many times has this been?"
Silence
"Exactly. Too many to count. First with Roxy. I brushed it off, heat of the moment, Cadmus party, whatever.
You told me you loved me, that was the end of that."
Silence
"Still nothing to say? Fine. Then came those triplets, whatever. All at the same time? Lucky for you, must have been fun.
But this time you were drunk. Fine. Ok. Whatever. Brief period of separation. Got back together. Everything is dandy."
Silence
"And then came Cissie. Goddammit, she was my friend! You fucking bed her like there was no tomorrow."
Silence
"No excuse this time Kon? Nothing? Fine. I'll tell you what's going on. I'm too fucking normal for you. I'm straight.
I'm blond. I have a steady job. I don't separate in three other people. I don't have a horribly past. I don't have a twisted psych.
Hell, the only reason you probably dated me was because I was the only one that could cope with your super strength when…"
Silence
"Just another conquest then, and easy lay, a quick fix? I'm not that person Kon. I loved you. I didn't go around screwing Robin
and Impulse and CM3… Shit. I'm tired of this."
"What can I say?"
"Nothing, Kon, just go away."
"I love you."
"Not enough."
