A Happy Ending

There are a lot of episodes that led to my transformation to a practical person. Some lessons were tough while the other realization came easy. Overall, the metamorphosis from a stupid kid to an I-don't-give-a-damn woman was not easy. There were several touching of the rock bottoms. But when the cocoon finally raptured and the wings were spread to catch the breeze, I could see it like the Matrix. Everything appeared like an simple equation.

I tossed my phone aside as I collapsed over my fluffy pillow. It had happened once again. Once again I had let someone treat me like that. How could I be so stupid? Am I stupid or is every man on this planet a jerk? A thousand questions spumed my brain like a crashing wave. The little drop that emerged from the corner of my eyes rolled down to my pillow.

I have never treated that person as an option. He was the only one. He had some abominable manners but I was ok with that. In fact, I respected his point of view (at least I tried). So why at the end of the day I get treated like an inconsequential being? Was it worth all the trouble I have gone through for him?

The ceiling seemed hazy. I closed my eyes and rubbed my eyelids. Dad was right. I shouldn't stay up at nights working on my laptop. Staring at computer screens for too long had affected my eyes. They had been watering all day. It was a good time to grab some sleep.

I had been asking a lot of questions to myself. It was stupid as I already knew the answers. Yes, he is a jerk and no he was not worth it. I didn't even feel bad for what had just happened. My past years had taught me how to walk away. I knew this was the time. It just made me sad that people dared to treat me like trash. For some reason unknown, they think they can treat me the way they want to. They can tell me whatever comes in that logicless mind of theirs. But here is the thing honey, I don't take shit from others.

I picked up the phone again and looked at the last message. I sometimes just want to laugh at their stupidity. How can you even pretend? If not to me at least try to be honest to yourself honey. I know you have options but do you know that I have more? I smiled as I typed the last words. "Don't come running to me when you hit a wall. Oh wait, you won't get a chance."

Before he could finish typing he was blocked. And that was it. It was over. Over for good. I liked how it ended though: The girl emerging victorious and the man drowning in the sea of the dead without knowing how to swim. I could have watched him drown. My devilish mind would have found it very entertaining but then I don't trust my feelings. Maybe I would get sympathetic and try to throw a tube at him. So it was better I didn't watch. Let the end be as pathetic as it can be. From my part, it was a happy ending.
