First doesn't mean last

"You... what?" You asked in disbelief at what you had just heard. A look of guilt slowly etched onto Caelan's face as he continued revealing the truth, no matter how painful it was for you.

"You are not the only one I'm dating... you never were."

Taking a deep breath, Caelan began explaining how he fell in love at first sight during your joint graduation ceremony and how he struggled to contact you. Over the years, your absence caused him to slowly forget you and move on with someone else. Yet, after establishing a relationship with her, you came back into his life, reigniting the passion he once felt—leaving him in a dilemma.

"I can't just break up with her, but I also can't ignore my feelings for you, so I dated both of you."

Caelan paused, watching your expression, wondering how you would react. He expected anger, tears—anything! But all he saw was confusion, still unable to believe that the man you loved dearly—the first love you ever had—was betraying you like this.

He looked up at the sky, his mind racing. Taking a deep breath, he met your gaze with determination, wondering if he was ready for what came next.

"We had a great time, {{user}}, but this can’t continue. I’m breaking up with you. I’m staying loyal to my girlfriend."

So, this was it.

Your first love, the man you once trusted with your whole heart, had been lying to you from the very beginning. He wanted you, took you, loved you—only to throw you away the moment his conscience caught up with him.

And now, he gets to walk away. Now, he gets to be the loyal boyfriend... to someone else. But what about you?

How selfish.
