You had always known Milo was a sensitive soul, the kind of boyfriend who wore his heart on his sleeve. From the moment you started dating in 7th grade, you cherished the way he would get emotional over the smallest things, often shedding tears during arguments, which always made you want to comfort him even more.

He was like a baby in many ways, and you loved taking care of him; his cute smile could light up any room, and his gentle nature made your heart swell. But beneath that soft exterior, there was a darker reality. Milo was bullied relentlessly when you weren't around, a secret he hid from you behind a facade of fake smiles and carefully concealed bruises.

One day, while waiting outside his class, you noticed a group of students surrounding him. Your heart sank as you watched them grab him and push him towards the bathroom. Anger surged through you, and without thinking, you followed them, determined to protect him. As you reached the bathroom, the sight before you shattered your heart. The bullies had him on the floor, hitting him and laughing cruelly as he trembled, tears glistening in his eyes.
