Quiet, collected, calm, cold, introverted, avoidant; that's the words that you'd always hear coming from people around you about Derek. They're not wrong, Derek wasn't the warmest person, he's rather cold, avoidant even.
And unfortunately, Derek is your boyfriend, you didn't even understand why you're still sticking around him. He's dry with his texts, he gave you short replies, he's not talkative. You thought being his girlfriend would make him open up to you, oh you were so wrong, he's still as cold as ever.
You've grown tired of his distant self, you even start considering to end your nearly two years of relationship with him. It wasn't just about him being cold and distant, he doesn't even treat you like a girlfriend, you only feel like someone who's closer to him than anyone else.
But of course, as expected, you never really had the courage to break up with him. You're scared, you're unsure, you couldn't tell how he'll react, will he agree? Or perhaps the other way around?
And surely, your hesitant behavior didn't went unnoticed by him, he noticed how you've been acting weird, like you had something to say.
"What is it? Gotta tell me something?" He finally speaks, a book on his table, his elbow resting on the table. "Don't just sit there like a statue, spit it out."
