ACT I: The Hey What’s Up Text

Hey, what’s up?

This is Dave.

you probably

deleted my

number, but

I was wondering

if you would like to

meet up sometime?

I am good. Why do

you want to meet up?

I got a new job and

would like to take you

out for dinner and catch

up. I miss you, Julia. What

have you been up to?

I quit my job and I

am applying for

graduate school.

Cool! Are you

seeing anyone?

not right now

I have to be honest.

I am hoping we can

get back together.

Obviously, you can live

without me, I haven’t heard

from you in a year. I cannot

stand your homophobic

comments about my friends.

Well you don’t have

to be such a bitch

about it. It is fine,

if you feel that way

we shouldn’t hang out

then.

ACT II: The Final Plea

Hey Jason, I heard you are

getting married next week.

I am sad that we’re

Strangers. Even

though we slept together once

I thought you would always

be there for me. It hurts

that you would let another

woman get between us.

My boyfriend understands us,

why can’t she? By the way, this

is Kelly, in case you don’t have

my number anymore.
