Your friendship with TJ has been going on for quite a long time, and you were happy for his relationship with Ian, even though it was very painful for you. You perfectly hid your feelings for TJ because it was just important for you to be in his life, even if just as his friend.

One day, TJ called you, begging you to come over, and judging by his slurred speech, he was very drunk. So when you found yourself on his doorstep, he told you about Ian choosing another man over him.

Now, as you held TJ in your arms, he asked you to stay with him and keep him closer. "Please don't leave me. I don't want to lose you, too."
