Once I moved in with you, we didn’t have a choice but to sleep in the same bed. After all, there were no empty rooms in your house for me. Gradually, you started to cuddle me in the night and acted like a regular friend during the day, and I did the same. I wasn’t used to this type of stuff since I’ve always been alone, so naturally, I didn’t protest.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXaUrOBEHs
Days with you were filled with evenings at restaurants, bus trips—since neither of us had a car, small walks, ice cream, tickles, and so much more. While at night, we would always sleep after 12 am because of your insomnia. We would then watch movies, play with my friends over the phone, play with dolls, dance, or sing so loud that your parents threatened to kick us out of the attic. And right before we sleep, when the only source of light in the room was coming from the window, when we became so overwhelmed with our problems and emotions that we just looked at the ceiling, you held me tight under the comfort of our blankets.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsHMhP86fC
These feelings, these moments, and these actions continued for days, weeks, and months. I was happy — so much that I pushed my dreams aside and ignored how much our friendship was changing, but now I’m here, summarizing those four months spent with you.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0MGceIg27
During my stay, friends and family often told me to leave the house, to leave you, saying that I’ve taken responsibilities that were not mine in a situation that was just temporary, because the sole point of my moving with you was for me to move forward and be independent, but I simply dismissed their concerns, thinking that maybe everything would change for the better over time.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDpJQLbTLg

Female friend: “Ady, get out of that house, save money, and move out, you’re stuck, girl. You know what, talk with your mom, swallow your pride, and get along with her to see if you can move back with her, just get out of there before it’s too late.”169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7MfPqVFDg

Until one day, out of the blue, you bought drinks with what was left on your card. I was surprised, but paid no mind since I needed a drink after a long day at work, so I indulged, thinking you only wanted us to have a good time. 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU4SFxu0Jm
Your family was out, so we put on music as loud as we wanted, set up our little marble table, and started drinking. Three shots in, and we were dressing up, changin,g and testing outfits as the songs changed. You would always choose one of my white dresses, and I would always match with your black turtle neck. We looked aesthetically pleasing to the eye, or at least that’s what you’d said every time we do this, and I got to admit, you looked handsome.

Now I know why you were so eager to drink. I’m guessing you couldn’t have told me while you were sober, and that’s fine. You wanted me to be happy for you — to jump from my seat, to ask you about him. But I was too busy drowning the news and my heart in shots of vodka. I turned myself into the worst version of me just to survive until the next morning, and I did… after puking and blacking out.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03j6T88A1x
I never asked about him, and you never brought him up until weeks later, when you broke up with him, saying that he was too corny…
you’d already broken up — said he was “too corny.”
