Malachi Barton ⁰¹

Malachi had started dating you because you reminded him too much of his "first love"; you were too similar to her, with the small detail that you were more stubborn and direct.
Your friends told you that he was trying to "get over someone by getting under someone else," but you turned a blind eye, you didn't want to accept that they were right, until... well, today...
You had taken Malachi's phone because you needed to extract some things from the dialogue you had for your next project, that's why you had asked to borrow Malachi's phone since yours was dead; you had forgotten to charge it and now it was out of battery
You started watching a conversation with a girl who looked a lot like you (not to say she was identical), which froze you in your tracks before Malachi noticed and snatched the phone away.

"Abi... no... you don't understand..."

What don't I understand, Malachi?

"She... she's different, she... she's your..."
You shook your head quickly while letting out a broken laugh
No... I'm not her... I'm not the person who awakened such beautiful things in you...

"Abi... please..."

Tell me... what gives you the right to compare me? Don't look in me for what you lost elsewhere...

You denied it before running away, leaving him completely alone in that place.

Malachi was with you mostly to get over her "first love," without considering the damage she was causing you by clinging to you simply because of your resemblance to her.
