My girlfriend had me speeding across town at like 11pm with a ācome over right nowā text, in that tone where you already know sheās not just talking about hanging out. So I get there thinking itās going to be a normal good night for once.
I walk into her room and immediately stop in my tracks because the bed looks⦠wrong. Like the pillow has this huge red stain across it and there are tissues everywhere, like something already went down and someone tried to clean it up in a hurry before I showed up.
And sheās just sitting there completely normal like nothingās off. Then she hits me with, ādonāt make it a big deal,ā while trying to pull me onto the bed, and Iām just standing there thinkingāwhy wasnāt any of this mentioned before I drove all the way over here? If there was already a situation, why make it sound like some urgent ācome nowā moment?
Then she gets annoyed because apparently me hesitating āruined the mood.ā But Iām sorry, walking into what looked like the start of a crime scene documentary wasnāt exactly what I was mentally preparing for.
Next thing I know Iām getting the whole āreal boyfriends wouldnāt careā lecture, and now Iām suddenly in a debate I didnāt even agree to participate in.
So I just grabbed my keys and left. Iām not about to force myself to be comfortable just to avoid awkward feelings. Now sheās texting me long paragraphs like I abandoned her mid-emergency, when all I did was opt out of whatever mystery situation was waiting on that bed.
