Piece of Mind

“I am fine, I AM fine, I AM FINE!!!” Ryo screams. 

“What happened, What are you talking about?” Wendy asks while approaching Ryo. 

“Hey, Wen. “ 

“I just… like, dude, like WHAT the Fuck ya know?” 

“Can you slow down? You are not making any sense here!” 

“I don’t think I can do this Wen, I don’t think I have much time left, I still have so much to do and—” 

SLAP 

Wendy slaps Ryo across the face. The sounds it made echo throughout the room. 

“Ouch, what the heck…” Ryo rubs his reddened cheek. 

“Get a hold of yourself!” Wendy points at Ryo. 

“I AM SICK of hearing your constant everyday rambling nonsense!” 

“But, you know of my split—” 

“You want me to slap you again?” Wendy is getting angrier. 

“Here, I cut some apples, eat them.” Wendy places the plate of apples on Ryo’s desk. 

“Thanks Wen” 

Wendy starts to walk towards the door out of Ryo’s room when Ryo says “sorry Wendy.” 

“No, don’t give me sorry.” Wendy is now holding the door handle of Ryo’s room.

“You are just making excuses to make yourself feel better, and let me tell you, It Does Not Work.” 

Wendy looks at Ryo again from across the room: “Ryo, I don’t like staying with you if you keep this behavior of yours, do you hear?” 

“I have something to do today, when I get back, you better not do this shit again.” 

Wendy leaves Ryo’s room. 

“FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!” Ryo mutters to himself with hands over his head. 

“What is wrong with you!?” 

“Me??No, you did it to yourself! Stupid” 

“FUCK, we almost lost her man, what the FUCK! Idiot” 

“SHUT UP!” Ryo says semi-loudly. 

“I can’t do this, I need some time off, useless, FUCK, it’s Shit!” 

Phone rings, Cho-A incoming call 

“Hey, honey, how are you feeling today?” Cho-A asks with her melodic voice. 

“Ah, I just saw Wendy, she seems really pissed, you didn’t do anything to her, did you?” 

“Mmm, no, babe, I am fine, really.” Ryo says with a shaky voice, a voice of doubt, of unsure. 

“Ryo, honey, lying is not good, you know. “ 

“Babe, “ Ryo sighs. “Just come home soon okay, do you need me to pick you up?” 

“Huhu, you always know how to stray off the main topic, no need honey I am close to home, let’s talk later ya?” 

“Okay, see you soon.” Ryo puts the phone down. 

Ryo sits back in his chair, looking up to the ceiling, putting his hand on his eyes and mutter “Dammit.”
