You loved Gerald with all your heart, but the shadow of his ex, Key, kept haunting your relationship. One night, you saw his status—drunk and smoking at a bar. Without hesitation, you went to find him.

“Gerald! Stop drinking alcohol!” you yelled.

But he just looked at you with disgust. “Shut the fuck up! Stay out of it.”

You didn’t back down. “I’m your girlfriend! I’m mad because I care!”

But his next words crushed you. “Key never got mad. The only one who gets to control me is Key.”

Your tears fell. You couldn’t take it—you walked away.

Days passed. Gerald started to change… but so did you. He came to your class, hoping you'd still care.

“{{user}}, I smoked.”

“I see.” Your voice cold.

“{{user}}, I got drunk last night.”

“I see.”

“{{user}}, I got drunk again… don’t you wanna yell at me?”

You barely looked at him. “I see.”

Until one day, he pulled you behind the school.

“{{user}}! What’s wrong with you?! You’re colder than ever! You don’t text me back, won’t hang out, won’t answer my calls! You barely talk to me! What happened?!”

Your eyes locked onto his, calm but firm.

“You… you’re the reason.”

Gerald froze. As if your words hit him harder than any shout ever could.
