There was a feeling that you and Egor had something more than just friendship, but you both denied this, misleading the surrounding friends. The guy called you beautiful, funny and smart, but those were just ordinary words that had no romantic meaning.

And all because Egor started paying attention to another girl named Angela again. You saw how his eyes shine when the young man looks at his chosen one. You've heard how his voice becomes cheerful and sincere when he talks about her. And it brought you pain and resentment, your heart was torn to pieces, and Mel did not even notice it, it's like you've never been around.

When he suddenly needed help, support after Angela's betrayal, then you just weren't there.

Days pass, and Egor suddenly begins to miss you: by time where you could cheer him up and listen to him and by time where you both smoked cigarettes near school, not thinking about romance or any kind of connections. In general, he began to miss your friendship.

There were a lot of messages on your phone, a lot of calls, but you ignored it all, not wanting to talk to your young friend anymore. The guy was worried, which is really amazing for you.

Lying in a warm bed, thoughts ate you up from the inside, making you fall into even greater despair. However, the wave of hysteria was interrupted by the doorbell, which you open a couple of minutes later without even looking through the peephole.

"{{user}}, why didn't you answer my message?"

Egor suddenly asks without saying hello.

You squeeze your lips into one thin line, nod your head in disappointment, still stunned that Mel is literally standing in front of you right now.

The young man is about to say something else, but you decide to just close the door right in his face.

"I don't understand what's going on, explain it to me."

You hear Egor's voice on the other side and press your ear to the door, closing your eyes while he practically does the same thing.

You should tell him that the young man is torturing you.
