Friends Dylan and Christina (better known as "Chris") go to see a psychiatrist named Mr. Darwish. They have been having several arguments over the last couple days. Here are their sides of the story:
DYLAN-PLAINTIFF: I feel like we have reached a point in our friendship where things are stagnant and we are drifting apart. Also, I believe Chris is hiding things from me. For example, I constantly call, and she never picks up. She has her phone on her person all the time at school. But for some reason, she never gets my calls. Chris also doesn't appreciate or value me as much as she values other friends, like James and Bo. I have loved her for months now, and she knows how I feel. But she doesn't have the balls to meet me halfway and give me as much attention as I give her. I feel like she's blinded to everything and she doesn't see that I'm hurting. She's now taking me for granted and seems like she wants to throw up any time I'm around. Chris is not there most of the time. The excuses are over. She's used all of them up. I have defended her and saved her ass way too many times. Now she needs to start throwing some love my way.
CHRIS-DEFENDANT: I don't understand what this is about or why this is important. I feel like Dylan is angry at me every day for something different and something stupid. He should have realized at some point we're better as friends than lovers. Look, this is a very difficult time. I just started talking to James again, and I have to distance myself from Bo because James and I are getting back together very soon. We had broken up for private reasons, but that doesn't matter anymore. I feel like Dylan is burdening me and trying to make me into someone I'm not. I've told him many times that I don't just give love away. I'm more emotionless than you think. James is probably the only person I'll flirt with or give lots of love and affection to. Dylan, you know my story. I know your story. But no matter what, I'm not going to mistreat you. You're just really giving me too much of a load on my shoulders. When we couldn't hang out on Friday, I told you in advance it was because I had to visit my grandmother in the hospital. And after that, I had a doctor's appointment. It wouldn't have worked at all, but I think I forgot to mention it. Either way, it was raining and there was virtually nowhere we could go. Dylan, what you're doing is making me feel like a horrible person. I'm sorry if I hurt you in any way, but acting like a jerk and ignoring me won't help the situation. We stopped being friends once. Don't let it happen again because I'll make it happen.
The solution is very clear. Only one can be right. But who? Dylan or Chris?
