“Stop texting me.”
“I’m going to block you.”
“Why are you still after me?”
“Congratulations, you got what you want.”
“I’m going to bring you down.”

“I’m going to make sure everyone sees you for who you are.”
“I will do everything in my power to make sure you never get what you want.”
You start seeing a person you never would have believed existed. They do things you never thought they would do. When you call them out, they say, “I didn’t do that,” or “We had an agreement,” and you’re thinking, “We never had an agreement.”
Your head is spinning. You can’t believe this is the same person you knew during the love-bombing phase.

Or, “Hey, I heard our song.”
