There was no real or fake breakup.
Every time we broke up, I would beg him to get
back together.
I repeatedly added him, and apologized over
and over again.
Aiden only needed to put on a show, and then
say, “Don’t do it again.”
But this time.
I didn’t want to.
On the phone, Aiden coldly said, “Since you
want to break up, give me back all the things
that I gave you.”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
We were a normal couple, exchanging gifts.
I gave him sneakers, and he gave me a bracelet.
I gave him a phone, and he gave me a
computer.
Now, my computer had all my important files.
My thesis, contracts, resume, experiment
results, project files… and so on.
Aiden saw that I didn’t speak for a long time,
and sneered: “What’s wrong, are you not willing
to give them back?”
“I didn’t know that you loved taking advantage.”
[He doesn’t want to break up, he’s trying his best to make up.]
[He’s really difficult to deal with, Sarah doesn’t

best to make up.]
[He’s really difficult to deal with, Sarah doesn’t
even know how much he likes the sneakers that
she gave him, and he never leaves his phone.]
[Sarah, just apologize, he felt bad for a long
time after the incident with that girl, and he
wanted to contact you but he was afraid. He’s
right there, waiting for you, and he’s about to
cry.]
Was it an act, or was it real?
I thought about the photos that Chelsea had
sent me.
I didn’t have the energy to think about it, so I
nodded and said to Aiden, “Okay, I’ll give them
back to you tomorrow.”
The person on the phone choked up.

Soon, Aiden’s voice came, “No, give them back.
to me now!”
He was doing it on purpose.
He knew that I didn’t have time to buy a new
computer.
But the comments said:
[He can’t wait to see her!]
[He can’t wait for her!]
[He doesn’t even want the computer, he’s just
waiting for her to say that she doesn’t want him
to take it back, so that he can ask her to beg
him.]
I suddenly realized that those comments.
couldn’t see things as clearly as I could.

I smiled and said, “Then give me back what I
gave you.”
“The phone and the sneakers, that’s all I want.”
After saying that, I added, “Now.”
“Sarah!”
“Are you crazy, how can I give you the phone.
now-”
I interrupted Aiden, “Then let’s meet at the
dorm at eight o’clock tomorrow morning.”
After saying that, I hung up.
I didn’t look at the comments accusing me of
being heartless.
There were a few that sided with me, but they
were quickly drowned out.

I looked at the offer that I just received, and I
couldn’t help but laugh.
A top company in Austin.
The salary and benefits were better than the
company that I had interned at.
I wouldn’t have any contact with Aiden in the
future.
