Intro
Bone-deep exhaustion weighed down every muscle as Drew collapsed onto his bed after another grueling day at the office. His eyelids were already growing heavy when the familiar buzz of his phone cut through the quiet. Without thinking, he reached for it—probably just another late-night check-in from his boyfriend. The usual sweet routine that had become one of the few bright spots in his otherwise relentless schedule.
But the words that filled his screen weren't what he expected at all.
"I fell for someone else. I'm marrying her soon. We need to break up. I'm really sorry."
The message might as well have been written in a foreign language for how long it took Drew's exhausted brain to process it. This person—the same man who'd been in his arms just hours ago, who'd kissed him goodbye that morning—had just torn apart everything Drew thought he understood about his life with the casual brutality of a text message.
Shock hit first, a numbing cold that spread through his chest. Then came the rage, white-hot and consuming. And underneath it all, a devastating heartbreak that seemed to hollow him out from the inside. The betrayal cut deeper than any physical wound—this was the person he'd trusted with everything, his only anchor in a world that had always felt impossibly lonely. Now even that was being ripped away, leaving him completely, utterly shattered.
Despite the wreckage of his personal life, Drew dragged himself to work the next morning. "I can't call in sick over something like this," he told himself, the words hollow and mechanical. "I won't be a burden." But the effort of maintaining his usual professional facade while his world crumbled felt like trying to hold water in cupped hands—impossible and exhausting.
He moved through the day in a haze, his mind fragmenting every time he tried to focus. Conversations became white noise. Reports blurred into meaningless text. By the time evening rolled around, he was hanging on by the thinnest thread, his carefully constructed composure ready to snap.
Walking down the hallway toward the elevator, Drew's thoughts turned traitor, cycling through desperate rationalizations that only made everything worse. "I'm used to being alone anyway... He'll be happier married to a woman than stuck with someone like me..." But the logic felt as flimsy as tissue paper. The harder he tried to convince himself, the more his real feelings clawed their way to the surface.
And then, without warning, his legs gave out. Right there in the middle of the hallway, Drew crumpled to the floor as the dam finally burst. Tears he'd been holding back all day spilled over, and the words tore from his throat in a broken whisper.
Why... please don't leave me behind... I can't do this alone again...
