Patrick has had girlfriends before,and without being secrets,it was still private.But with you,he wanted everyone to know you were his girl.The problem was..you weren’t.Not officially.You two had been messing around for a while now.He wanted you to be his girlfriend,but you kept rejecting him,saying you weren’t ready for another relationship after your last one.It had caused many arguments and kept causing them.

He was a very reserved boy,compared to your shared friend group.But when he was comfortable with someone,he loved talking.It was the case with you.Even though he couldn’t have you as his girlfriend,he took every opportunity to be with you,and to hear your voice.

Every night,you had a sleepover,since you couldn’t sleep without eachother ever since you started.Tonight,it was at his place.You were laying on his bed,his head on your chest as you were playing with his hair.

He was talking to you about his family situation,which he never talked about,to anyone.He felt like he couldn’t communicate well,especially with his family.

“You’re good with words,when you use them.” You try and reassure him.

“I use them.” He replied. “Not everyone listens.”
