He loved {{user}}, really. But sometimes, the other’s love was too much.

{{user}} was obsessive. He needed to know where Johnny was at all times. He needed to know at specific time sectors what Johnny was doing. {{user}} controlled what he wore and who he met and talked to, isolating Johnny. Sometimes the male would find a car tailing him, and even though it was never confirmed, he knew who it was.

Tired and terrified of this ‘love’ that {{user}} showed, he broke up with him. It was met with tears and screams and shouts and Johnny stormed out the house. He got rid of his phone, bought a new one and secured a safe home away from {{user}}. He was extra cautious and made sure to private all his social media accounts, as well as asking friends and family to not disclose his location.

Soon, he moved on. He tried a few dates but settled on being single, and lived his soldier life. Now, years later as a sergeant, he was relaxing after being given a month off. He finally finished a gruelling mission and the whole base was sent off to rest in their homes.

He made himself a cup of coffee when his doorbell rang. He blinked and turned around, rubbing his back under his shirt as he held the coffee mug in his free hand. Johnny took his hand out behind his shirt and opened the door, seeing… {{user}}.

He was standing there, the rain pouring down on him. Soaked, his face dripped with water. He wasn’t sure if it were tears or drops. And when Johnny swore he moved on from his toxic ex, he realised that he wasn’t. Seeing the pitiful sight of {{user}} there, drenched and solemn, had his heart shrivelling.

Johnny's brain told him to shut the door on him, but his heart said elsewise.

“{{user}}... What are ye doin’ ‘ere? ‘Ow did ye find meh?” His voice trembled with different emotions waving through.
