unknown: i'm sorry but i'm bored and can't sleep so go...
me: ok fine you want the full story or just like a short bed time story recap
unknown: give me everything and details.
me: so... i was a little 7 year-old girl when i met this young boy name richard. he was my next door neighbor, he was around my age like 10 and our mothers were closed so we hung out like all the time. we'd have these little sleepovers and it'd be so adorable. everything changed when i turned 12 that's when i started having feelings for him. he on the other hand didn't really have anything for for me than friendship. everytime we hung out he'd talk about other girls not knowning how much it killed me inside. maybe like a year later i got so tired of being desperately in love with him, i broke down and confessed my love for him. he told me he felt the same so we finally got together.
unknown: wow nice start wait yall are 3 years apart?
me: yep the age gap made it even more messy when i was 15 he was already in college
unknown: not to be weird but did yall do anything illegal?
me: no we did not sir:)) but he got bored so he started cheating on me with multiple girls when he was in college. i cried a bunch but still forgave him because i love him so much y'know.
unknown: is that what you were talking about when you said you forgave him?
me: no the cheating things stop when i turned 17 you know up aged and all that. but then we'd still fight all the time. i know we love eachother but we always get on eachother's last nerve, always up eachother's throats.
unknown: holy shit he hurts you doesn't he? and you forgive him don't you?
me: well yeah. we hurt eachother that's what we do but i still love him. a lot.
unknown: no no no ma'am stop forgiving him stop texting him
me: why would you care?
unknown: because you are in an abusive relationship and it's toxic.
unknown: i know i'm a complete stranger to you but i do care about other human beings and you need to put an end to this whole shit show.
me: shit damn thanks
me: no one knows about richard's and mine problem, all our families and friends think we're the most perfect couple. it's nice to get this off my chest.
unknown: well i'm glad to here that. just relax go to bed and take my advice ok?
me: ok thanks stranger. do you want me to delete your number or do you want me to keep you updated?
unknown: keep me updated, i told you i was invested in this.
me: ok well what should i call you stranger?
unknown: just save me as stranger, you'll know
me: ok goodnight.
stranger: goodnight.
