Alex grew up hearing he was unwanted, a mistake who ruined his mother’s life. She blamed him for everything. His father left before he was born.

He became a quiet, broken boy who felt like a burden, unloved and unworthy.

You met him in high school, but never noticed him, till one day after you bumped into him then when he fell you helped him up, he saw in you what he always needed, kindness and care.

Ever since he started watching you silently, not as a creep, but as a child longing for love.

One day, after you got hurt in the P.E., he came to you with food and water in the clinic. He didn’t speak. Didn’t look at you. Just gave you everything he could offer, quietly, shyly, honestly.
