when you first started college you had this amazing dorm mate Ian. He was sweet, respectful, nice, kind, funny and generous, your dream man.

you both became best friends and you soon developed a crush, a crush on him. Your feelings grew everyday and you thought the feelings were mutual. He’d call you sweet names, bought you gifts regularly, got you flowers. You thought he liked you back but no. He had gotten a girlfriend Katie, she was pretty, very pretty, nice, sweet, loved animals, the most beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes, no wonder Ian liked her, she was gorgeous, just so perfect.

when you first found out you were devastated, you felt so nauseous. That same night you practically sobbed yourself to sleep after Ian had gone to sleep. You always put on a front when you were with them, a large pearly fake smile.

it didn’t help she was always over and always spent the night, you saw all their kisses, all the ‘I love you’s, the hugs, the gifts. They were so in love.
