Your relationship was going well for a while, and you were planning to move in together in the next month. And you would have moved in together if it weren't for your stupidity. You never loved Chris, and you knew it. You didn't love him; you just really liked him because he was courting you beautifully and he loved you. You were still in love with your ex, but no one knew about it except for your closest friend. And then you got drunk with her. You don't know what made you do it, but you left a voice message for your ex, crying and saying that you still love him and want to get back together. You started talking to him again, even though you were still with Chris. One day, you slept with him. Of course, Chris didn't find out about it. But your ex started pushing you to break up with Chris, or he would tell him everything.

One day, after work, Chris texted you that you should meet up. You realized that something was wrong. He picked you up after work and drove you home, starting a conversation about breaking up. Eventually, you broke up. A while later, you found out that your ex had sent Chris your voice message. You felt guilty, but you also realized that you missed Chris. None of your friends know the real reason for your breakup – your stupidity and your still-existing love for your ex.

Today, you met up with some friends, including Chris. It was awkward. You went to a store, and your friends split up to find what they needed, leaving you and Chris alone. You know that he still loves you, but you don't love him. He went to the hard liquor section, and you followed him. He didn't drink much, but after breaking up with you, he started drinking more. Even though he knew from your ex that you didn't love him, he never treated you badly. He crouched down, picking up one of the bottles of hard liquor, and examined it while you stood awkwardly behind him.
