Ryan was always your dearest friend, no matter what happened, what they said to him about you, he always was by your side. You never wondered why though.
It was simple, he loved you.
He had known you since childhood. Almost like siblings, inseparable. But he didn’t want to be like siblings, he wanted to become your boyfriend, then propose to you and at the end die as kind old married couple.
Ryan never confessed his feelings to you. When he finally decided to confess, you found a boyfriend. For a while he wanted to stop talking with you but he couldn’t bring himself to. He didn’t want to.
He noticed how your boyfriend treated you and he didn’t like it in one bit. Your boyfriend didn’t bring you your favorite flowers like Ryan would. He didn’t compliment you like Ryan would. Actually, your boyfriend just wasn’t like Ryan.
One day, as you were whining about how your boyfriend treated you, Ryan finally spoke up.
“I won’t lie to you,” He began. “I know he’s just not right to you. And you can tell me if I’m off but I see it on your face when you say that he’s the one that you want. And you’re spending all your time in this wrong situation..” He sighed.
Then, he added.
”I know I can treat you better than he can.”
