Situation: Lindsay is a teenage girl who has just had her heart broken again and she isn't going to stand for it anymore. She is talking to her boyfriend, Jason, who has just broken up with her.

(laughs) I just realised something; this entire past year could have been avoided. I know after all we've been through it's hard to believe, but it's true. Jason, the first time I saw you, cheesily enough it was across a crowded room. That's when I learned to love you. I've thought about it a lot and I've come to the conclusion that this whole thing could have been avoided if I had just seen the person next to you. I could have learned to love them instead. Then I wouldn't be here today, and I wouldn't have had to put up with a year of heartbreak. This year was a hard one. We fought a lot. I think we broke up and got back together so many times we set a world record. But, throughout that entire time I loved you. I never stopped. I still haven't. That's what's so pathetic. You have hurt me so many times over the past year, and I've always come back. (pause) This is the last time you screw me over. The last time. I am so sick of it. I love you Jason, but I can't take being abandoned and hurt over and over again. I'm sick of waiting for you to come around, catering to your moods, and being your beckoned call girl. You've done this to me so many times I know your methods by heart. (sigh) This may come as a shock to you, but the next time you come back looking for my affection, attention or love I won't be here. I love you, and for that reason I want to walk away. Just let me leave you for once so maybe after time passes I can learn to stop loving you.
