“can’t you see what she’s doing to you?” nat snaps, gesturing wildly at the door that had been slammed shut in your face minutes prior, “she just— just fucking up and left like that. how can you not see how bad she is for you?”

nat was usually quiet about this. hell, she wanted to stay quiet about this. but, with every increasingly rude retort your girlfriend had to say to you, the more nat wanted to punch the lights out of her.

you could do so much better than your shit-talking girlfriend.

“but she’s nice most of the—” you start, but nat cuts you off.

“most of the time isn’t enough. i know, okay? i know how happy you get when she treats you right. but that’s what the problem is.”

you expect so little that even eye contact with her would make you burst with happiness. it’s unhealthy. it’s toxic. it’s bad. nat would treat you better— she wants to say, but she holds her tongue.

not the time to be psychoanalyzing your one-and-a-half year relationship with a girl nat really didn’t like.

“she’s rude to you,” nat hisses— plain and simple, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, “and to me. do you not see it, {{user}}? am i just supposed to let her yell at or ignore you?”

nat feels a little guilty for her (mostly caring, but partially selfish) outburst once she sees the lock on your face and the pretty plaid fabric of your skirt being scrunched up tightly in your fists.

“hey,” nat mumbles, “{{user}}, i’m just saying it how it is. im serious about this.”
