Erm … yeah so.  basically I…I wanted to ask you, I don’t understand why d’you…why did you split up with me. Wha, what was the main reason. what I don’t know why you did it

Sam: I don’t know really it was just one of those situations where we got together really quickly and don’t get me wrong I did, I do still really like you[.] and, I dunno I just felt like it wasn’t the right time [..]

Joey: yeah I know what you mean[.]

I think we did, I think what your trying to say is we did too much in the space of like 2 to 4 months, sort of thing

Sam: yeah [..] yeah it was like, like a bit of a whirlwind , do you know what I mean?

                                                                                         Joey: yeah,yeah,yeah

                                                                                        Sam: but do get me wrong, I was completely wrong to ring you up and say to you “aw I feel like [.] we need to have a break” and stuff like that. Cuz that was really out of order. But it wasn’t one of those situations I have been thinking about for ages like, like I wouldn’t do that, I wouldn’t…

     Joey [interrupt]:The only thing, only thing that was just so weird like you acted so normal throughout, throughout all that. That morning when I woke up in bed and like said see you later and all that do you know what I mean and all that. You acted completely normal and then you left, you didn’t even lead up to it or anything, you just sort of like bang. That why, that’s why it was such a big shock. I didn’t expect it thats why I was upset.

Sam: I did say, when is aid it on the phone, like I did feel really bad but then I did say to you like lets meet up when I get back and we can talk about it and you didn’t want to. I can understand that but you didn’t want to

Joey: why would I want to talk about it? If you just, it would be like me going, that’s it aw youre dumped [.] oh can I see you tomorrow, forget I said that

Sam: yeah but I didn’t say it like that

Joey: you pretty much, yeah you didn’t say it like that. But that’s pretty much. That’s that’s, cut a long story short. That’s what you did, you ended it with me and then said aw actually forget I said anything see you tomorrow. That’s why I was like, aw why do I want to see you tomorrow ouve already split up with me.

Sam: it wasn’t easy  […]

Joey: I know, I know that… its just a bit upsetting for me
