You're supposed to imagine it from your perspective so close your eyes and imagine it's happening to you. actually don't close your eyes, you can't read that way.

You're a male college student who deeply has a crush on a girl from your faculty, a girl who already has a boyfriend. Her name is Layla. You know she's taken, and she seems to love her boyfriend so much, you know you don't have a chance. There is no hope. Still, you can't help but be happy just to watch her move. And the truth is, you don't want her to be with you. You only want her to be happy, even though it means setting yourself away from her. It's a terrible, rainy Thursday. You've just got out of class, which you couldn't focus on because you were too distracted watching Layla, who was texting somebody on her phone. Her boyfriend probably, you thought. But an angry expression wouldn't leave her face. While leaving the building, you see her in the hallway, on a phone call, very angry. While you're looking at her, she turns her head and looks at you, but it's not the cute, warm smile you'd fallen in love with. Instead she looks pissed off, very pissed off. You head out of the building, the rain has got much worse. You walk fast to run away from the rain, but the strong wind pushes you the opposite direction. You cross the road, and start to look for cover on the sidewalk. Suddenly, you stop feeling the raindrops fall on you. You look above, an umbrella. You turn back to see who is doing you this favor. It's Layla. Her intense, angry expression is now replaced with a sad one. "Layla!" you exclaim. She wipes her wet face with the back of her hand. You notice her hair is completely dry, despite her face being soaked in water. You try to say "Thank you" but her melancholic face makes you ask "What happened?" She tries to talk, but her hiccups stop her. "It's Elijah" she finally answers. You don't know who Elijah is, but you have a good guess. Your confused face provokes her to elaborate "My boyfriend, you know?" You say "Oh!" knowing your guess was indeed correct "What about him?" She takes a deep breath, her sadness seems less intense, "For a while he has not made me felt loved, he's no longer the guy I fell in love with 2 years ago..." Her cry comes back. She starts holding the umbrella with her other hand, pulls out her phone and dials Elijah. Ringing... Ringing... But nobody came. Her cry intensifying, she suddenly hugs you tightly. You try to think of what to say to comfort her.

She lets go of your body, takes a few deep breaths, "I think he no longer loves me." You respond "Aww, don't think that, you seemed to be so happy talking about him. No way there's no more love between you." Her face changes into a confused expression "There's no way? Oh for the past couple months he's been treating me like SHIT. Always complaining. Everytime we argued, he told me to go back into my cave. He always calls me names, and he's been talking about me horribly too. His friends think I'm a terrible person" That throws you off, this whole time, you thought Elijah and Layla were undoubtedly lovers forever. It was like Elijah was the best thing to ever happen to Layla. She continues to cry out "He was the only guy who ever truly loved me, now I'm alone, I f**ked up..." You interrupt her "You f**ked up? Yeah you f**ked up by staying with that bastard all this time despite the way he's been treating you." She hides her face in her palms and continues "I know, I'm miserable, no other man would ever love me and I didn't wanna be lonely." Realizing you unintentionally put the blame on her and made her feel worse, you immediately soften your voice "Oh dear, no I didn't mean that. You made no mistake" seeing her lift her hands off her face, you continue "It's about time you got rid of Elijah. he hasn't been good to you in a long time. Can you really tell me that you won't be better off without him?" She goes on "But he was the only guy that would ever love me, really, now I'm alone. Will I ever be loved again?" In that question, you hear the hope still left in her. "Yes, definitely" You wipe the tears off her face with both hands while you say "Look at yourself, you're beautiful." You look at her face expecting a reaction to the compliment, she doesn't seem to care about it, so you continue "I know somebody who... would love you so much he would do anything for you, you mean the world to him" You shouldn't have said that, you think. "Really? Who?" she asks with a shock visible on her face. You don't wanna admit you were talking about yourself "Never mind, no one in particular really, I mean you're the type of girl anyone would want" her face changes "am I?" She says with a soft voice. An awkward silence takes over for several seconds which feels like hours. She starts sobbing again "But I won't ever get over Elijah, he was my everything" She starts crying into your shoulder and continues "Will I ever meet a guy who made me feel the way he did?"

you look back and re-think what you thought of Elijah. Apparently he's not as good as Layla described him. "What will I tell my friends? I can't let them know Elijah doesn't love me anymore" she turns her head and watches the raindrops hit the ground, you answer "Oh yes you can, you'll just tell them what an asshole he was, it's all his doing, you shouldn't feel ashamed for that" She doesn't say anything for a couple minutes, she needs to process everything properly now. During those minutes, you feel the need to say something to her, but there's nothing more to say. She lost the only man she loved, she is suffering, and for emotional support she chose you. Of anybody that could calm her down she came to you for support. Although you feel proud, this makes you feel like you have a massive responsibility. You think it's magical, the girl you hopelessly loved for months, is right here standing by you. Right when you're lost in thoughts, she finally turns her head back to you, She doesn't look sad anymore, seeing her feel better, makes you feel better. "You know something?" she finally breaks the loud silence accompanied by the terrible sound of rain "You're actually the exact type of guy I'd want in my life." You try to resist a smile, but fail. Seeing the involuntary smile on your face, makes a smile appear on hers as well "The world needs more boys like you" You look at the ground. You hear the umbrella fold. The rain has stopped and the sunlight takes over the entire place. You two stare at each other for a couple seconds without saying anything. "I'll see you next week, then?" she says, the sad tone in her voice almost completely gone. "See you" you say with a shaky voice. She says with a tiny smile "Thanks for everything" both of you start walking in the opposite directions, before walking far, you look back, she's also looking back at you with a smile on her face, you also smile involuntarily, and keep walking, trying to convince yourself this really happened.
