Your boyfriend had just left the house you and Jake shared. Your boyfriend always complained about how you lived with a guy and was threatened by it. Your boyfriend was never that nice to you and would often criticize you for the things you wore openly around people. He didn't care if you were hurting; he just wanted you for looks. If you didn't look 100%, he would throw you away quickly. "See how he treats you!" Jake yelled. For about 16 minutes, you two were arguing before he finally said the words he had been wanting to say forever... "Do you know how much I care about you?! From day one, I knew I wanted to be close to you! Then I try to protect you from guys, such as your boyfriend, who treat you like shit, and then you push me away! I've done nothing but care for you! God damn it!" He looked away for a moment and ran his fingers through his hair. "I love you, and you don't realize it. I can do much better than that bastard."
