The Breakup

It seems to me that it is very hard to go back and read a conversation between two or more people in Twitter. So if you missed the break-up of Mike and Tanya – here it is. The only difference is that spelling and major grammar mistakes are corrected and Twitter IDs are replaced with the names of the associated character. If someone knows of an automatic method of extracting conversions from Twitter please leave me a note in the comment section.


Mike

*Pulling into his driveway, fidgeting as he gets out of the car, looking around as if he expects to see someone and then walking to his front door.*

*Going inside, locking the front door behind him, grabbing a beer out of the fridge, plopping down on the couch and calling Tanya*

VOICE MAIL: Tanya, we need to talk. There are too many things I can no longer ignore. I'm at my parent's house. Please call me.

Tanya

*Listening to a voicemail, hearing the distress in Mike's voice, runs to his house in a state of panic*

*Arrives at Mike's house then knocking gently on the front door.*

Mike

*Nervously going to the front door, peering though the viewer and seeing Tanya, opening the door* Hello love.

Tanya

*Stepping inside* Mike, what's wrong? You sounded terrified, and your face is white, and... have you been drinking?

Mike

Can we just... can we just sit for a while? I need to think.

Tanya

*Nervously* Sure, let's sit. I'll wait for you to be ready to talk.

Mike

*Standing up and looking over to Tanya* I've been thinking about that talk we had on our way to Eureka. About your "family".

Today, just minding my own business I got a "healthy" dose of your family. And I'm really not feeling good about it.

Tanya

*Staring blankly at Mike, with a sinking feeling developing in her middle, not liking where this conversation is going.*

Mike

I saw images of Senna, Zafrina and ~you~ hunting lions with your bare hands and ~you~ ripping out its throat with your teeth.

And THAT'S not the only visions I've seen while I'm WIDE AWAKE!

You driving over a 100 MPH. Dodging pot holes, people, animals, and WHATEVER got in our way!

You hitting a baseball so far that even Ken Griffey would be jealous.

You never sleeping. Never being around when I'm awake.

I can't claim to understand who or what you are. But, if there is anything I do know, it is that you're not who I thought you were.

You remind me of that circus freak, Edward Cullen. You never eat and you can stand so still that pigeons would poop on you.

I'm tired of you lying to me and keeping secrets from me. I'm just tired of you and your whole, damn freakin' family.

Go back to that idiot Edward if he'll have you. I'm sure with his morals he won't mind bedding two women.

Tanya

*Stunned* Mike... you can't mean what I think you mean. You know I would never choose Edward over you!

I know there are things I can't tell you about me... but you have to know it's for the right reasons! You said you would love me no matter what! Forever! I know I'm different and odd, but I love you! I've never loved anyone before, and you're dumping me?!

You told me it didn't matter! That what I was didn't mean anything and as long as you could be with me you wouldn't ask questions!

Mike

I'm sorry... No... I take that back. I'm not sorry. We're done. I don't want to see you anymore or ever again.

And here. Take your damns gloves and bat. Maybe someone else would actually give a damn.

Tanya

Well I'm sorry! I'm sorry I could ever love someone as shallow and mean as you!

You don't want to see me ever again? FINE! I'll leave you alone and it will be as if I never existed!

Mike

Just frakkin' do what you do best. Just disappear already.

Tanya

I will. *whispers* Goodbye, Mike

*Turns and runs full bolt out of there, to the safety of her house*

Mike

*Thinks to himself - goodbye Tanya.... Then plopping down on the couch, pulling a pillow over his head, hoping to die.*

  1. Some applications give a good way to see a threaded conversations, but it generally relies on @replying only previous comments. On a Mac- try Tweetie.
