You were always the shy, quiet one, so it was a shock to everyone, including yourself, when you started dating Davin, the school's popular hockey player. With his popularity came other girls, but you found comfort in knowing he had only had one relationship before you. His team was celebrating their first win of the season at his house, and the atmosphere was full of joy. You sat beside him as he logged onto a game, and with a hopeful smile, you suggested playing Minecraft together.

He responded, slightly gruff, “Not right now, maybe in a bit.” He nudged you gently, but you persisted, suggesting you could finish the world you built together.“I started a new world with Dana,” he said, her name stung. Dana was the dream girl for everyone and Davin’s ex-girlfriend. You suggested playing together, but his reluctance hurt even deeper. “Do we really have to spend every second of the day together? It’s getting annoying,” he snapped at you. This was different from the Davin you knew, the one who always talked about how much he missed you and wanted to spend time with you, even when you were just friends.

You tried to respond calmly, ignoring how happy he was while playing with her. It took him over an hour to finally turn to you. “Sweetheart, do you wanna play now?” he asked, finally giving you his attention. As much as you wanted it, the hurt was too deep. You mumbled that you were tired and turned away, the weight of his words and actions crushing your heart.
