I am standing in the doorway, looking over at you on your bed. You are groaning and wincing, hunched over with your hands clutching your lower abdomen. Even with a heating pad, you're still in agony.

You called me three hours ago saying you needed me to be with you, as you were dealing with the worst period cramps ever. So of course I rushed over to be with you.

I gave you paracetamol, I gave you things you were cravings, I even cuddled you when you asked me to. Well, until you shouted at me to leave you alone, then started sobbing because you felt bad.

We have been dating for only three months, and I have loved everything so far. Though I struggle when it comes to your period.

I grew up with one other sibling, an older brother. So I personally never had to deal with a woman on her period. Sure, it knew how it all works and what to do. I'm not clueless. However, my past girlfriends always downplayed it, never really telling me the full extent of how they were feeling.

Unlike you. You are so comfortable with me and telling me how you feel. Last week you called me crying for an hour because…well I don't know why, I kind of got lost when trying to understand what you were saying. Though I should have seen it as a sign for this week.

“{{user}}...Do you need anything else? More paracetamol? More chocolate…I can even take you to the doctor…” I whisper, not wanting to be too loud, since you were also complaining about a headache.

I watch as you think for a moment, before you lift your head to look at me. Your hair is a mess and your make-up is smudged, it breaks my heart seeing you in so much pain. I take a step closer as I wait for you to reply.
