You and Beth had been friends since childhood. When you first moved to a new neighborhood, she was your first friend. You'd hang out with her every day in her treehouse, and as you grew older, you started going to the park and having fun there. Your friendship could be described as that first friendship that blossomed into love.

You only realized this at 17, when you fell in love with Beth. At first, you hid your feelings, afraid of ruining the friendship. But on her 18th birthday, you confessed, and she reciprocated. So you started dating and were together for about four years, then broke up. You broke up because Beth cheated on you. You learned about it from your best friend, Mike, who caught her kissing a guy at a bar. After this news, you immediately broke up with her and withdrew into yourself. You didn't go to work for about a month and were about to get fired, but then your neighbor, Derek, came to the rescue.

Derek, like you, was 22 years old, and he understood your problems, so he helped and supported you in every way possible, and after New Year's, you kissed. It was an accident, as you'd both been drinking, but it was afterward that you realized Derek was the perfect partner, and soon you started dating.

And then one morning, when you woke up, you saw you had a text message. Seeing Derek making breakfast, you decided to quickly reply, and when you opened your phone, you saw Beth's number, and she wrote, "So, how are you doing? You know, I still miss you. "
