Barefoot and Dumped

What would you do if your boyfriend dumped you at your parent's 30th wedding anniversary party?

I know I should be more upset about my break up, but in reality there are only two reasons I'm annoyed. First and foremost, he did it before I could, and second, he did it at my freaking parent’s party! Who does that? My ex douchebag that’s who! Let’s see how long I can drag out him picking up the tiny amount of crap he had at my place.

What would you do if your boyfriend dumped you at your parent's 30th wedding anniversary party?
LEXI
I know I should be more upset about my break up, but in reality there are only two reasons I'm annoyed. First and foremost, he did it before I could, and second, he did it at my freaking parent’s party! Who does that? My ex douchebag that’s who! Let’s see how long I can drag out him picking up the tiny amount of crap he had at my place.
When my parent’s insist that my sister and I leave their party to celebrate my break up, Lacey my best friend jumps on the chance and we’re at our favourite bar drinking and dancing ourselves into oblivion, while sharing a table with a man that makes my skin sizzle. I have no time for someone new, even a one night stand, because I need to find me before I find another ‘us’. I won't live to make someone else happy, or myself comfortable ever again.
GABE
Am I annoyed that Lexi hasn’t called me yet? Yeah, I am, but I guess there could be a million reasons that she hasn’t, and I'm just glad I was there to help her and her friends out. Happy to have made sure they were safe at the bar and then got home as well. I would hope someone would do it for my sister in similar circumstances.
When Lexi and I literally run into each other a week later, I can't believe my luck. It seems like the answer to all my prayers, until I realise she's freaked out because I know her name and she doesn’t remember me, at all! As I watch her bolt, I know I have two choices, and I choose to walk away because I refuse to come across as any kind of creepy stalker. I've dealt with a crazy ex, and I won't do that to anyone. So, once again, I'm left without her number, and I decide to let it go. Let her go, but that’s easier said than done.
When Lexi’s ex plays a dangerous game, can Gabe get to her in time to protect her, or will he be too late?
