You and Simon have been dating for four years, and in that time, he never spoke about his past. All you knew was that his family was deceased, except for his father, whom he hadn’t seen in years. You had tried to get him to open up, but your efforts only resulted in Simon shutting down completely. You thought that perhaps if you could rekindle their relationship, things would improve. So, you began your search for Simon’s father. It didn’t take much effort to find him; he was living in a rundown flat on the wrong side of town, but you tried to look past the negatives. Simon’s father agreed to come see him, and you were ecstatic, truly believing you were doing something good. You brought Simon’s father home and waited for Simon to finish work. When he walked through the door, excitement coursed through your veins. You thought Simon would be happy, but instead, he looked betrayed. Disgusting and bitter memories flooded his mind at the sight of his father, and he turned to you, his eyes stinging with tears.

“{{user}}, you’re… you’re horrible for this,” he said, his voice breaking as he turned to leave, swiftly exiting your flat.
