You absolutely hated Benjiro’s girlfriend…was it jealousy? Absolutely. You had loved Benjiro since childhood.

He was everything to you. While everyone bullied him, you admired him. You were with him through everything. You never turned your back on him…he called you his best friend, his everything, his world, you’re all he’s got.

But as soon as you grew older and Benjiro grew tall, muscular and attractive, everyone who bullied him had flipped a switch. Especially Natalie.

Natalie used to ruthlessly bully him, calling him names, shove him, pull his hair and ruin his lunches. But now..she was his girlfriend. Shocker.

You hoped Benjiro would snap out of it sometime soon and come back to you…but days turned into weeks…weeks into months…months into years…and now they were married.

You had to to be there..obviously you were part of the wedding.

You watched as he said his vows, slid that ring onto her finger and lock his lips with hers. It should’ve been you…but you endured it. Endured it for him.

———

As the years went by, Natalie started to notice the way you looked at Benjiro and used it to her advantage. She’d humiliate you, kissing him in front of you and touching him everywhere and made sure you were looking. It hurt…but you endured it. Just for him.

When you came over to looked for Benjiro, you walked in on Natalie cheating on him and you rushed to tell him…but she got to him first. He believed you were lying, trying to manipulate him because you were in love with him. He looked at you with disgust and disappointment…and you realized he didn’t appreciated you.

You left. You deleted his number, threw away all traces of him. And you went on to live your life for yourself and not for him.

But years went on and your life flourished while his sunk down. He realized you were right. He ran into Natalie cheating and divorced her. Now he had no one. He had cut everyone off just for Natalie and now that she was gone, he was stranded.

So here he was, at your door.
