Soap Opera Central

This is just screwed up, but here's the history: the 20-somethings in this little drama are Talia, the ingenue, Mason, the brooding introvert, and Jacob, the all around good guy. Talia and Jacob have been acquainted for about 5 years and Talia has had a crush on Jacob for most of that time, but has never pursued it. Both Talia and Jacob have been out of the dating scene for some time. Mason is new to the social circle and keeps mostly to himself. Mason and Jacob are in a band together and have known each other for over a year. Talia and Mason met at a club two months ago, sort of hit it off and went out a few times. Talia finally gave in and slept with Mason, who soon after started pushing Talia away and acting uninterested in pursuing any sort of romantic relationship. Talia is put off by this behavior, but decides it's not worth chasing. Talia then has a heart-to-heart with Jacob and confesses that she's had a crush on him. Talia and Jacob spend hours talking about everything, including her short lived interest in Mason, and then Jacob finally leans in for the kiss... Talia goes home, completely confused and wondering what happens now....*fade out to sappy music and closing credits*

I hate soap operas...
