I am one of the nicest guys ever... I never thought that'd come back to bite me in the ass. I thought that being nice got you far in life. It just greeted me with actual legitimate pain.
I was in love with a girl, Y/N. God, I loved her so much. We used to be able to spend hours upon hours together, just being in each other's company. She was so sweet and kind and considerate. That was the side she let me see. I didn't realize how much of another side there was to her. When she doesn't love you back, it comes with a punch.
First, you'll think you're doing something cute and amazing. Then you'll see that she already chose another man over you. I got down on one knee for her. She turned me down and simultaneously broke up with me as well. "There's someone picking me up. I'll send you the address you can send my things to." She felt nothing. Here I was, feeling everything. Her ride pulled up and as she opened the door, I saw who she was leaving me for. My goddamn best friend. My stomach tied itself into knots right then and there. "I'm so sorry, Phil." She said, getting in and closing the door.
I walked back to my apartment, gathering all her things, tears falling. I kept everything I'd ever given to her, everything except my virginity. I had Dan come back for her things, but I stopped him as he came in. "Dan, why?" I asked, heartbroken. "Why did you take her from me?"
Dan laughed, shifting the boxes toward the door. "You lost her as soon as you got her. She forced herself to stay with you for 2 years, while the entire time she wanted me."
"B-But, why didn't you turn her away?" I picked up some more boxes. "Why did you continue to hide and hurt me?"
Dan sighed, "I could ask you the same damn thing." He looked me in the eye. "I could ask you why you continued to hide. "Oh, Dan. I love you but I'm not ready to come out, it's not my time." Fucking bite me, Phil."
It all made sense to me. "You're bitter?" I glared. "You're bitter because I wasn't confident in coming out? You're mad because I wouldn't come out for you?"
"You still aren't confident, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about." Dan walked back into the room I shared with Y/N, making sure there wasn't anything left.
I followed him, pushing him against the wall. "Fuck you, Dan." I growled, pain coming out in anger. "She rejected me because you took her from me, why on God's green earth would you keep torturing me?"
Dan flipped us around, slamming me into the wall harder than I had done to him. I winced, hearing a joint pop. "You fucking ruined me, Phil! You walked away from this, not thinking anything would change. You walked away from us, not even missing me!" Dan yelled. He took a breath before leaning closer to me. "You walked away from these..." He kissed me deeply and passionately before pulling away. "Without saying they meant one damn thing to you." Dan let go of me, turning on his heel. He walked around the room, looking for anything Y/N had left behind.
"Everything is in the boxes." I mumbled softly.
Dan shook his head. "I'm making sure so that she doesn't come back here looking and you don't try to get her back. Especially when she doesn't want you."
Dan had all of this hate in his heart toward me and I had never realized what I'd done up until now. When Dan got done searching, he went and carried all of the boxes down to his car. When he came back up for the last box, I grabbed his arm. "I'm sorry." I sighed. "I owe you that much." I let go and he nodded, turning away without looking back, just as I had done. I closed the door, locking it. I looked around my empty apartment and screamed, falling down the door until I was sat on the floor holding myself. How'd I fuck all of this up?
I woke up the next morning, still in that spot. There was knocking at my door. "Phil?" I heard. I sighed, standing up. I didn't want anyone around but I still opened the door. There stood Y/N in a new dress. I looked at her.
"Dan doesn't want you here." I said, shifting my weight onto my hip. "Frankly, I don't want you here either."
Y/N sighed. "Let me explain."
"No. Leave." I sighed. "He may have money, he may be able to provide for you like a sugar daddy. But who sat and loved you through death? Through body image issues and self hate? It was fucking me." I stood, done with the entire situation.
Y/N looked down, "I know. But I am a hindrance to you Phil. I am holding you back. I hate myself still and I wasted your time. Maybe if I was with Dan, you wouldn't stress so much."
I chuckled, reaching up to my jacket I'd worn the previous day, pulling out a black box. "You thought that stressed me out darling? No. You leaving me did. That's ok, I guess. I can keep a £4279.00 ring. Give it to someone else. I really need you to leave though... before I kiss you and before I love you and before I give you a ring you don't deserve." With that, I shut the door.
