A Toxic Tale: Love, Regret, and the Cycle of Drama

Source: Ajebo Writer

I visited my close friend one day and found him and his new girlfriend fighting outside.

They were at each other’s throats—yelling, pushing, and creating a scene while the neighbors watched from the sidelines, some laughing and others shaking their heads. Nobody stepped in to help.

I quickly rushed over, separated them, and tried to calm things down. She was still boiling and screaming at him, so I helped her pack her things and ordered a ride for her.

As soon as she left, my friend started showing me bite marks and scratches all over his body.

He broke down, complaining about how miserable his life had become. He said his girlfriend was jealous, temperamental, and always picking fights over the smallest things.

Then he started crying real tears. He admitted he missed his ex and regretted cheating on her with this toxic girlfriend. “I messed everything up,” he said, holding his head in his hands.

I sat him down and told him the hard truth: this relationship was toxic, and he needed to end it. “Why keep enduring this?” I asked.

After about thirty minutes and a bucket of tears, he swore he was done. He even showed me the breakup text he was going to send her and thanked me for being there for him.

When I left, he was still in pain, but I promised to check in on him the next day.

Very early the following day, I visited as promised. I knocked several times, but there was no response. I called his phone, but he didn’t pick up. I didn’t want to panic, so I turned to go and get help.

Just then, I heard him call my name from inside.

A few minutes later, he opened the door, smiling sheepishly. He was shirtless and wearing only boxers. “Come in, come in,” he said, acting like everything was fine.

As I stepped inside, my jaw dropped. There, sitting on his bed and wearing his shirt, was the girlfriend he had promised to break up with.

She smiled and greeted me warmly, as if nothing had happened. I turned to my friend, expecting an explanation, but he avoided my eyes. Then she walked up to him, kissed him long and passionately on the lips.
