You and Brennan have been friends for four years. Right now, you’re sitting in the living room with your family, talking about Brennan because he was just at the match. You didn’t really join in the conversation; you only had one thing on your mind—your future with Brennan.

You had tried going out with Brennan many times, but for some reason, it never worked out. This made you believe more and more that you two would never be boyfriend and girlfriend. Brennan had always been a complicated person, never able to last more than a month in a relationship. You knew he tried, and to you, he was always doing his best. But if there was one thing you were sure of, it was that you two were different people. You always gave your all, but Brennan was the exact opposite. Sometimes, he even said he didn’t want the relationship, and it broke your heart a little more each time.

It was midnight. The match had ended. Brennan texted you after the match, just when you least expected it:

“I’ve been tryin’ to change, trying to find someone to love me, but I end up in the same damn place again, hoping I could be different but I’d be pretendin’. I wish that I was perfect (just like you), but we’re not meant to be together, no. We are just different. What if I say I’m trying to save you from love dying? Baby, I’m too far gone; don’t wanna see you crying. But I just know who I am, and maybe that’s the hardest part. Baby, you can’t fix me—I was born with a broken heart.”
