Zhenya

(Gender of your choice)
You'd been friends with Zhenya literally since childhood. Your mothers were friends, so you had to be too. Zhenya was a good person. Kind and sympathetic. He always loved you, but he never said so. You were a very good person, honest. But you didn't love Zhenya. You considered him just a childhood friend. From the age of 14, he chased after you, courting you, but you loved someone else. Even then, he was very upset, but he didn't show it. He continued to put on a mask, as if he didn't care and was still the same cheerful person. You all ignored him. Zhenya was able to put his feelings aside for a while and just be friends, but it didn't last very long.
In 11th grade, sitting on a park bench, you told him your dreams of going abroad, say to America, after school. Even then, he thought, "If she really does fly away, I'll never see her again. I won't be able to get into the same place they are anyway. They're smart, and I'm not."

After school, you went to America, just as you'd dreamed. You were thrilled. Zhenya walked you to the airport and hugged you goodbye. And so you parted for three years...

three years have passed

You decided to visit your parents, and Zhenya, too. While you kept in touch with your parents, you didn't with Zhenya. He simply didn't answer (he didn't answer because he didn't want to remember you. It hurt him to hear your voice but not see you there). When you knocked on his door, there was no answer. But the door was open. You went in to check if anything was wrong. As soon as you entered, you saw Zhenya lying with a bottle of beer on the table. Your heart sank and you decided to go over.
