Independent Writing #6

Okay this piece was really interesting to write. I decided to put in dialogue and only dialogue, no setting or enviornment, no elaboration on the statements, no showing the emotions through description, no names. I didn't even show if the characters were boys or girls or a boy and a girl or what so that people can make their own inference. Although it may imply they are a certain gender it doesn't mean that they are. Hopefully someone will see it differently. I had to rely on the characters talking only which made it a bit more difficult than my writing in the past. Much like the rest of mine, it is based off non-fiction events in my life, minus the last few lines.


“Excuse me?”

“……. We’re getting back together.”

“……”

“I know you’re hurt but…”

“Oh no. No, I’m not hurt. I’m stunned that any one person can be so STUPID!”

“How am I stupid?”

“Well let’s see, she broke your heart by first dumping you and selling everything you gave her on eBay. Then they went and got another lover a few days later and slept with them which shattered the pieces of your heart. Then as if that wasn’t enough, to top it all off she told everyone in town that you raped her!!!! And you want to get back with her???”

“She’s truly sorry. Really she is.”

“Right and I understand all the theory of quantum physics.”

“You don’t understand. You don’t understand at all. You don’t understand love. What its like. What crazy things it can make you do.”

“…….You’re wrong. I loved you. I would have done anything for you. I have. I’ve been there for everything. Who did you call when she tore apart your soul? Who was there when you were arrested because of her? Who heard you cry night after night. Who did you use to get over her? Me, me, me. I’m sorry but I can’t do this anymore. I don’t want to talk to you or see you ever again. It hurts too much.”

“Don’t be like that. C’mon you’re my best friend. Don’t do this.”

“No, I’m not doing this. You are.”

“Hey. Wait! Come back! Wait!”
