I can't let him destroy all the walls I've begun to build.
Especially not when he's drunk.
Anything good he says when he's drunk is a lie.
Anything happy that comes out his mouth will ruin me.

I laugh softly.
Just put up a shell and hide, Sai. Emotions are bad.
"Huh?" I say, opening the door and entering. "Oh, you weren't done... Want me to go?" I ask, looking at the ground and standing awkwardly in the doorway.
Conversation flows easily here.
I just can't let my heart get involved and I'll be okay.
It's not like he's going to apologize.
It's not like I meant anything to him.
.... Right?
Yeah.
It's alright.
He doesn't love me.
Just finish this call and move on with life.
Just accept that you got played.
Just continue surviving like before.
