Sally shrugged, nonchalant. "Either would be fine since you won't get it anyway."Alex chuckled. "Remember that time he fell asleep? He was still in his seat after we were all gone. He didn't even know that someone had robbed him.""Exactly. He doesn't even like to watch movies—what's the point of picking the one he likes?"I was white with rage listening to them make a joke of my embarrassment, even though it was Alex who had insisted that I go with them even after I worked until two in the morning.It was a thirteen-hour shift, and I was so tired that I fell asleep.I couldn't find my phone when I woke up, and with both Sally and Alex gone, I was left stranded in the middle of nowhere at half past three in the morning.Naturally, neither of them came back for me, and I was still really upset about it, warning them to never talk about it again.But they did and kept repeating it like my pain gave them joy.That was when Sally finally noticed that I was upset, but she frowned a

I sighed softly and didn't argue.I wasn't upset at all.Looking up at Sally calmly, I said, "Let's just break up."She froze, her eyes wide with disbelief.Still, she soon laughed as if she was unafraid, while looking at me like I was an immature child. "Just stop already."Alex also came over, patting my back as if he was my best friend in the world. "Trust me, my friend—you're just not in your right mind. You'll understand that once you cool off."He sure talked like he was being considerate, when he was really cleverly blaming me for everything.I had always trusted him, and for what? Things only got worse between me and Sally, with her always taking his side while our arguments kept increasing.Shoving him off, I growled, "We're no longer friends, Alex."Seeing Alex looking absolutely helpless and tearful, Sally charged at me furiously, not caring about rationality as she snapped, "Why do you have to be so difficult?! Are you only happy after you hurt every person who's e

I replied nonchalantly as if to a child, "That doesn't matter."Those words came much easier than I thought, and I continued toward the washroom to wash my hands.Sally paused and took a deep breath like it took a lot to deal with me, but it was the same for me over the last six months.I was the one dealing with her finding me bothersome and snapping at me all the time.I was also the one dealing with her taking Alex's side instead of mine and always accusing me of being the problem.And I really had enough.Eventually, Sally spoke again. "You don't have to get that upset, Jim. I know you just want an apology, don't you? I'm—""Don't bother," I said, cutting her short. There were others there, so I sidestepped to head outside, and the air certainly felt much fresher."Jim, listen to me."Alex had suddenly snatched Sally's phone, his breath ragged as he exclaimed, "I really only consider Sally a friend—I didn't know you minded it that much. I'm apologizing now, alright? I'll

Sally turned pale right then, staring at me wide-eyed as if she didn't recognize me. "You're so cold… Finding another woman in just two months? Have you thought about me? What did I even do?"I pursed my lips. "Your worst mistake is still asking me about your mistake. First of all, why would you pay everything for Alex? Why did you keep lending him money?"She paused for a moment and looked impatient as she argued, "Are you really getting petty over a movie ticket and coffee?""There it is," I pointed out. "Still calling me petty when it's not even about the money—it's the fact that you're siding with him. He's the one you chose between us, and you knew I'd get upset, but you still did it."Sally snorted. "There's nothing between us, believe me."Though she was being stubborn, she wasn't even looking me in the eye.I sighed and held up my phone in front of her. "Here's Alex's text messages. Argue your way out of this."Sally stiffened, her neck janky like a rusted joint as she
