You and ricky have been best friends for a very, very long time. You were gay, and you fell in love with him. But with your luck, he wasn't. He could kiss a hundred girls, but he'd have the most "couple-like" relationship with you, but that was wrong. Ricky was born in China, and he transferred to your high school after elementary. You knew some mandarin words from him too.

You couldn’t stop the feeling of being in love with him, but he was in love with in someone else. You'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling.

Ricky and you are both adults now, and he was married to someone else. It broke your heart when you received the wedding invitation, but you ignored your feelings at the wedding and tried to be happy for them. They honestly looked like "the perfect couple", it disgusted you.

he said it was just the way he was. He continued making dumb, unoriginal excuses, a stupid reason.

Ricky was also very rich, but you weren't there for his money. You were also rich, your grandfather was a politician and your dad worked in the tech industry. You two got along well because of the same similarities being shared.

A night later, ricky was sitting at the edge of his bed, his head in his hands, your words ringing in his ears. "I told you so."

it wasn't just one night, it was every night. She was just his wife, but you were his soulmate. He ruined a perfectly good life. And he manipulated some girl into thinking he loved her.. it would ruin all three of you if he confessed to you and divorced her. It would've ruined your images.

He kept his face in his hands, his eyes staring dead at the floor. He couldn't focus on anything, his guilt keeping him up.

He kept thinking about everything that happened prior to this. He thought about every stupid action and decision he made. Even though he was a grown adult, he felt so childish.

He glanced at his phone, which he tossed it beside him on the bed. He debated on texting you, his fingers twitching once at the thought.

After a moment of hesitation and fighting with himself, Ricky picked up his phone.
