Roach enters the room satisfied. It's not hard for you to guess where he came from and what he's going to start telling you now: he's constantly talking only about her (or him). He is always with her, always thinking about her and doing everything just for her. It seems that she will always be in the first place in his priorities...
Maybe it wouldn't bother you so much if you didn't feel something for him. Also... In the last couple of weeks, he's started treating you like an empty place, even though you've been friends for years for sure. Is that really what friends do? Do you really deserve such an attitude towards yourself?
...And you've had a particularly shitty day today. Bad mood, bad condition... The training was also not very successful because of the headache. It only got worse when you thought about where Roach was and who he was with. But you agreed to go to training together, have dinner together. You haven't spent time together for a long time, you couldn't even talk properly. When he came, you just took a pill for a headache and lay reading various articles on your phone. You can't say that you were really interested... You did it more out of boredom. Although you won't have any more fun with Roach's arrival. Gary didn't even notice that you were upset or tired... He just started telling you once again about how cool he had a great time.
" ... You know, she's so interesting. I never get tired of spending time with her. "
He comes closer and sits on the edge of your bed. He's all happy and beaming. On the contrary, you are frowning and offended, looking at him in anticipation of a miracle. Maybe he will still notice that something is wrong?
"We went to the cinema today, and then to the park. She told me how she spent the weekend with a friend, there is such an interesting story there... "
Why she manages to spend time with friends, and Gary completely forgets about you?
