Yeah, and then you have the nerve to tell me at the door that I should be saying sorry for like, not doing anything? Okay, I understand me throwing that cold water on you made you mad, but it never should have gotten to this. And then, you tell me I should say sorry and start cussing at me again, so yeah I’m gonna tell you to leave cause I’m not gonna let anybody talk to me that way. Especially if it’s not something that’s worth talking to me that way about, like.. If you had a nice reason to talk to me that way, then.. I probably wouldn’t have gotten that upset but.. It just proves that… I don’t know, I get–I know you have feelings for me, but you just–It never seems like you want to be in a relationship, even when we’re around each other it just doesn’t seem that way, I mean it’s–you’re so weird, like, when we text you’re all lovey dovey and.. this and that and then as soon as we get face to face it’s just like.. You’re nothing but a complete fuckin asshole to me to be completely honest with you. I have to ask you for… a kiss all the time, or just, anything, like everything you do is just.. Most of the time negative towards me. And I just wanted to.. Ask you why over the phone, but apparently I’m not gonna get that chance, so.. I’ll let you go.

Alright I’m just gonna leave you a message, since, apparently you can’t pick up. I just don’t get how you could tell me I kicked you out when you literally.. Cussed me out and then told me you were just gonna leave. And then, you get out the shower and literally get your bags and walk to the door so… that’s not me kicking you out. Yeah, and then you have the nerve to tell me at the door that I should be saying sorry for like, not doing anything? Okay, I understand me throwing that cold water on you made you mad, but it never should have gotten to this. And then, you tell me I should say sorry and start cussing at me again, so yeah I’m gonna tell you to leave cause I’m not gonna let anybody talk to me that way. Especially if it’s not something that’s worth talking to me that way about, like.. If you had a nice reason to talk to me that way, then.. I probably wouldn’t have gotten that upset but.. It just proves that… I don’t know, I get–I know you have feelings for me, but you just–It never seems like you want to be in a relationship, even when we’re around each other it just doesn’t seem that way, I mean it’s–you’re so weird, like, when we text you’re all lovey dovey and.. this and that and then as soon as we get face to face it’s just like.. You’re nothing but a complete fuckin asshole to me to be completely honest with you. I have to ask you for… a kiss all the time, or just, anything, like everything you do is just.. Most of the time negative towards me. And I just wanted to.. Ask you why over the phone, but apparently I’m not gonna get that chance, so.. I’ll let you go. I mean, I know you haven’t known me, for that long, but.. You should know I have no problem just not talking anymore and, I mean, here I am calling you fourteen times and you can’t even pick up once. But, it’s only because I wanted, just to kind of get, why this is kind of happening over nothing, but… that’s fine. I’ll leave you alone and I’ll let you do your thing I guess. So, I don’t know what else to say.
