This
is just a college extracurricular activity to you. You are not serious about
being a professional crawler. Even if you were, your heiress mother would never
allow it. XCrawl is my career. I need a female life partner who can help me in
and out of the dungeons. Our relationship has run its course.
With a scream I threw my
phone against the wall. It fell to the floor in pieces. How dare he break up
with me via text? Tears streaming down my face I screamed again.
Just last week, for his
birthday, I gifted him with elven masterwork MiniLynx light armor. I spent
three thousand seven hundred fifty dollars getting him the most expensive, best
armor legal to our division. It had been fun taking his measurements naked, all
those months ago for the custom ordered armor.
Now all that was over.
Thinking of better times
I remembered I had an expensive bottle of champagne, his favorite, in the wine
chiller with my merlots for graduation. I pulled it out. The cork gave a loud
pop. When the initial overflow stopped I took my first swig.
Someone pounded at my
front door. I stalked over to it and, without looking through the peephole,
threw the door wide open with a defiant, “What?”
The two police officers
on the other side were taken aback for a minute. “We received reports of
screams from this residence.” The elder officer stated.
“Don’t worry. You can
tell my neighbors I am done screaming. I think I have found a better outlet.” I
said taking another swig from the champagne bottle.
“How much have you had
to drink, miss?” The officer asked.
“Just two swigs so far.”
I answered honestly. At his look of disbelief I explained. “Bad breakup. He
broke up with me with a text message. This,” indicating the bottle of champagne
“was supposed to celebrate our graduation in two weeks.”
“Do you mind if we come
in and have a look around to make sure everything is secure?”
“Sure.” I said stepping
aside so they could enter. They did and I took another swig of champagne.
“What happened to your
phone?” The younger officer asked looking at the pieces by the wall.
“I threw it against the
wall after reading the breakup text.” I admitted; then, took another swig.
The elder officer came
back from my kitchen area and looked at me. It was a small apartment.
Bedroom/living room that the younger officer and I were standing in and kitchen
with bathroom off of it that the elder officer had searched. “It’s secure.” He
told his partner.
“I promise no more screaming.”
I said solemnly. Then I took another drink from the bottle of champagne.
“Try not to drink
yourself to death too.” The elder officer said walking out the door.
“He is not worth it.”
The younger officer said apologetically.
“Thank you.” I replied. Then I shut the door on them. I laid down on
my bed and continued drinking. Eventually I must have finished the champagne
and gotten up for a bottle of merlot because there was an open bottle and a
large red stain on the floor next to the bed the next afternoon when I woke up.
Bad breakups are the worst.
