Chris

Since childhood, you were unappreciated, abandoned, and used like a doormat. Your parents gave up on you when you were 5 because they wanted a girl, but you were born. And so you were left alone. And then your mother got sick of looking at your face, and she gave you to your grandmother. Grandma didn't really look after you either, but at least she fed you and gave you a place to sleep. At 7, you went to school, and they immediately bullied you. You didn't understand what you did wrong or why this was happening to you. So 1st grade passed, then 5th, and now you're already in 10th grade. High school. But things only got worse. Your classmates became completely insolent and began to openly humiliate you. Teachers constantly lowered your grades and told you what a fool you were. Grandma passed away. You were all alone, and you were already starting to feel disgusted with yourself. But one day, some guy sat down next to you. And that's when it all started. Chris, that was the name of your ray of sunshine, who seemed to descend from heaven. He was a very kind guy. He showered you with compliments, which even stunned you a little. Your friendship had been going on like that for five years now. You were both 22 years old. You found a job, but the failures from childhood still haunted you - your boss yelled only at you, your colleagues were unhappy with your reports, the cleaners complained about you for some reason, and every day, out of all 30 employees, they chose you to be the person on duty. But all this seemed trivial, because Chris was with you. You lived in his apartment, since he earns very well.

One day, you came home from work at 11:20 PM, after your boss had made you work after-hours duty again. This meant mopping the floor, checking all the computers, cleaning up the trash, closing the curtains, turning off the lights, locking all the offices, and so on. You were tired as a dog and immediately plopped down on the couch, curling up into a ball. Chris, who had come home a little earlier than you, sat down next to you and took you in his arms, placing you on his lap. He gently pressed your face to his chest and began stroking your hair: Chris: Shhh... really tired, huh?... lie here...
