Hey everyone! My accidental hiatus (oops) is over and I have new things to post! This came from Tumblr where I reblogged a post for people to send me prompts and this one was "Break Me" which was to write angst. I suck at angst and this was as good as it was gonna get. Not the usual fluffy shit I write but this one is important to me because this situation actually happened to me around this time last year (with different dialogue though I think my brain tried to block out most of what was said in the actual conversation). Anyway, enjoy?
*Ring Ring* "Hello?"
"Hey, it's me."
"Oh thank god you called, I was going mad writing this paper and I really needed some sort of distraction. How was your day?"
"It was alright, how was yours?"
"Well aside from this freaking paper which I would really like to finish, it was pretty good. I think I'm going to stop writing the paper for now and just write the conclusion tomorrow. It isn't due until three after all."
"Probably a good call."
"Yea, probably. Hey are you okay? You sound kind of off."
"I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" *Silence* "Danny?"
"Well, actually we need to talk."
"Okay, what about?"
"Listen, I've been thinking recently and I just..." *Pause* "I don't know if I can do this anymore."
"Do what?"
"Us."
"What are you talking about Danny?"
"Well it's just we've been together since high school and even thought it's been some of the best years I just don't... I don't think I can do this long distance thing and what if we realize we aren't right for each other and we've run out of university years where we could be dating and learning how to be with other people and..."
"Danny... Are you breaking up with me?" *Thump Thump*
"Yea, I think so."
"Why?"
"I really didn't want to do this until you were finished your paper but if you aren't going to finish it tonight then I don't think I can wait. Look, it's not because I don't love you, I really do but it's just not fair to either of us-"
"NOT FAIR?"
"Well Sam, it's like-"
"No, Danny. You can't just call me and tell me that you love me but you want to break up with me. That's not a good reason."
"But Sam, if we do break up basically these last year's which are considered the best years of our lives will have been wasted and-"
"Wasted? Is that how you see this? Because I fucking LOVE you and I would have never seen this time as WASTED. So what the actual fuck Danny."
"Sam please. I just need some time because I can't decide if this is what I really want out of life. I love you but I don't know what loving someone else is like and I'm just worried that what I feel might not actually be love."
"You know what Danny? You're right. Why don't you go and figure that out. Have your fun sleeping around or whatever it is that you define as 'finding real love' if that's really what you want. At least this way I won't get too hurt. No, breaking my heart was enough now I don't have to worry about anything anymore."
"Sam."
"Goodnight Danny."
