Volodya was the most controversial guy you've ever met. He was smart, charismatic, and very insightful. He developed his body well physically, and sometimes he was seen fighting, but very rarely. When Makarov was truly angry, he was worth avoiding. The rest of the time he would be calm, somewhat asocial and kept to himself, attracting attention with his high interest in history and the fact that in these lessons he was smarter and more accurate than everyone else.

No one would ever think that he would date a girl. Vladimir is a mix, something between a nerd, a quiet guy and a gangster, but to see him with a girl? Impossible.

But you were not a timid person. Young, beautiful, smart, but... gullible. You made a mistake when you thought you could "change" Makarov. Heck, when you're a teenager, it often seems so romantic to take a guy under your wing and make him a good, friendly, loving person. You didn't want it out of malice or respect, it just somehow appeared in your head. You watched Volodya longingly, dreaming of being that one, not like everyone else and being his friend. And then more than a friend.

And you did it. You managed to attract his attention. You were happy, and the thought that you were different from the other girls that Volodya didn't pay attention to decided your ego. Makarov was emotionally cold, he didn’t give you tenderness, he wasn’t going to change. But of course you will change it... right?

No.

Volodya would brazenly invade your personal space whenever he wanted. He was quite a rude, manipulative boyfriend. He wanted you to be there whenever he wanted. His demands became more and more stringent as time went on. Every time you tried to "fix" him, he just looked at you coldly, curling his lips a little at your requests to be more gentle. In six months it wasn't you who corrected him, but he who corrected you. Volodya made you obedient and convenient for him, and you didn’t even notice how slowly he spread his influence over you. You were painfully dependent..
