Nate

When you were little, you were often bullied. They might simply take away your toy or send you away. And this happened every day. Until one boy, two years older than you, stood up for you. And you became friends. You were in the same class and went to the same college. Nate looked after you, helped you. He came over at night when you were feeling down. You thought you had no better friend. But then one day, Crush from college asked you out. You were happy. But Nate, not so much. You started spending less time with Nate. And then it was like you forgot about him. But... Sometimes you didn't feel love for your boyfriend. And you didn't understand why. That evening, Nate texted you to meet up and talk. You were walking to his house when you crossed the street and didn't notice the car. You woke up in the hospital room, lying on the couch. Nate was sitting next to you, holding your hand. You blinked hard and asked,

• Where is my boyfriend?
• He said that he doesn’t need you since you’re talking to me.
