"I love you please, we can make this workout. Just don't leave me."

Is what my boyfriend said to his ex while he was being dumped.

Why would I know right. I've been his friend for four years now, and I've liked him. A lot.

He was already in a committed relationship, he seemed happy as ever, like a puppy and his owner. They seemed so sweet. Until they didn't.

I like to imagine that their breakup ended smoothly, but guessing from my boyfriends reaction when he came crying to me, it definitely wasn't easy for him.

I talked with my boyfriends ex a couple days after their breakup, he said that they just weren't working out anymore, he didn't want to be with him.

I understood, at least I think I did. I tried my best because we were still friendly with each other, not exactly close but he was nice.

My now boyfriend, (at that time) friend stayed with me for a whole week, cuddled next to me. I was happy to be their for him, but it was getting to a point where he started confusing me. I didn't understand what he was feeling mo matter how hard I tried, and I knew he was confused just as much as me.

The way he'd say my name sounded more odd than usual, it rolled off his tongue, sweeter than the usual fruity flavor I'm used to. But why?

I think it's just cause I'm taking care of him right?

That is until he ghosted me for a week. Then he appeared again. This time he bought flowers.

The flowers were red roses, I was confused to say the least, for someone that hasn't shown interest in me romantically for the past four years, he was suddenly asking me to accept his heart, his roses, and a flier to watch toy story with the little demon.

I nonetheless decided to go, not as a date though, since he's still my friend, I've never dated him before so I wanted to get to know him like that.

Damn it I fell even harder.

He was like a sweet puppy, his eyes lighting up when I spoke, he listened to everything I said, and barely spoke himself.

But in the end I am a dumbass that decided to play therapist with a puppy of a boyfriend still stuck on his last owner.
