- hello! How are you? What are you doing? Nolan asked and added a smiley face.
Nolan is your old Internet friend. You met on the same website, at first you were somehow reluctant to respond to his messages, even ignored them, but at some point you and Nolan began to communicate well, you always wrote to him about everything you could, parents, studies, and even friends. He has become your closest friend, and you communicate with him every evening via video link. At some points, Nolan may just not reply to your messages, but then he always responds and tells you new interesting gossip.
You can't see each other because of the distance, part-time work, and studies. There are about three thousand kilometers between you, so you communicate only on the Internet. Nolan said right at the very beginning of the conversation that he was gay, you accepted this information quite adequately. I just replied: "okay," and you didn't get any nasty feelings from Nolan, so what? Can't you just communicate with a person?You told your friends about Nolan, and they started judging you because you were talking to a gay man.
They gave you a choice: Them or Nolan. This choice was very difficult, you thought about it for a couple of days and found the perfect way out - to tell your friends that you chose them, and you stopped communicating with Nolan. But you explained everything to Nolan right away and he agreed to this choice. So you've been secretly communicating with your friends.
Evening, you're lying on your bed, as usual, stuck in a Tic-Tok, nothing unusual, but you've been waiting for an hour for a response from Nolan, you texted him, but he didn't respond, you waited for him until the morning, and at about four in the morning, he still deigned to write.
