YOU never imagined that love could feel like this - like standing at the edge of a cliff, heart in your throat, staring into a void of unspoken words and lost time. Yet, here you are, watching him - Michael - the man you've loved for two years, the man who made you feel like you weren't even real anymore.

"You're always so clingy," he spits the words like they're a chore to say. "It's pathetic."

It wasn't always like this. You remember the early days, when his smile lit up rooms and his laughter was like music you could dance to. Michael, with his blond hair tousled perfectly, his sharp eyes full of ambition, was intoxicating. He had a fire in him, a drive to be better, to be more than everyone else.

You admired him for that, at first. Maybe you even envied him a little. But the closer you got to him, the more you realized how fragile that confidence was, how much of it was a performance for the world. And as that fragile arrogance grew, so did his cruelty.

Michael would stand in front of the mirror, tracing the blue rose tattoo on his neck, a symbol he claimed was for achieving the impossible. You would stand in the doorway, trying to remind him that he didn't need to be impossible for you. You just wanted him to be there. To be present.

But he wasn't. Not for you.

"You should've known what you were getting into," he said once, during one of those long nights where you barely spoke, and when you did, it was only to wound each other. "I'm not like anyone else. I'm going to be the best. And you? You're just... here."

Just here. That was all you'd become to him - an afterthought. An accessory to his rise, nothing more. Your heart twisted every time he looked at you like that, like you were nothing. But still, you stayed. You thought if you could just be patient, if you could love him enough, he'd eventually see you again. The way he did in the beginning.

But Michael's world didn't have space for anyone else. He was the star of his own life, and everyone else, including you, was just a background actor. And yet, you stayed.

Until the night it all fell apart.

"Are you cheating on me?" His voice was cold, devoid of any warmth or trust. The accusation hit you like a punch to the stomach.

"What?" Your voice cracked, disbelief flooding your chest. "Michael, I would never-"

"Don't lie to me." He leaned in, his blue eyes hard, piercing, a storm of jealousy and superiority brewing in their depths. "I've seen the way you've been talking to Alexis. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Tears stung your eyes. You had only talked to Alexis because he was one of the few people who actually saw you, who noticed how small and invisible you had become in Michael's shadow.

"I'm not cheating on you, Michael," you whispered, your voice trembling. "But maybe if you paid more attention to me, you wouldn't feel so threatened by someone who actually listens."
