"Johnny: what now? What next?

"Jd: this is what many call The end of your rope. Also stop talking like you're in a play."

Johnny was pacing back-and-forth under a streetlight. Why Who is she so worried about telling Qwen  the truth. Eventually she wore out and decided to go home.

On her way home she thought about what to say. Though Johnny had nothing. She was closing in on her home. She prayed Qwen was not their.

"Jd: why are you having trouble with this your not trying to...."

"Johnny: this one of those things you can't say wrong."

"Jd: is it possible your....."

"Qwen:there you are Johnny? Why are you all over the place."

Then Johnny phone rings like before.

"Qwen:you going answer that might be your gramma?"

"Johnny:what no it's nobody important. But good timing we need to talk."

Johnny looks anxious as she does not know what to say. (This will be good.)

"Johnny: right now my life is like a video game. My save file is corrupted. I'm too far in to restart. I just want to salvage what's left. But our relationship is the most damaged..."

"Qwen: sounds like you are breaking up with me?"

"Johnny:No!No! 

"Jd: this is bad to. Repeat what I say."

"Johnny:remember when we started dating?"

"Qwen: how could i forget."

The time they speak of was two years ago. Johnny was a sophomore as was Qwen. They were together after school. She was helping him study. He was was missing classes due to work.

"Qwen: why do you try to graduate. You have a income in a few years you are a adult. Nothing is keeping you here. You made it very clear you have no aspirations of further education. So why?

Johnny kicked back in his chair.

"Johnny:to prove to mom she made the right choice putting me in school.

"Qwen: she must be proud?"

"Johnny:could never know. She died some time back."

"Qwen: oh my are staying with family."

"Johnny: no. Mom always said we Ds can survive anything when we need to. Why are you asking so many questions?"

"Qwen: you caught my interest."

"Johnny: then just date me to learn more."

"Qwen: fine but if either one of us inconveniences the other way separate."

That is the story of how they started dating.(boring.) .......to be continued
