"Get it through your head! I’m straight, and I’ll never see you that way."

He practically spat those words into your face in front of a crowded hallway, drawing a cold, humiliating line between the two of you and completely pulverizing months of your quiet devotion. Every late-night conversation, every shared glance, and every soft moment you thought meant something was stripped away in seconds. You swallowed your pride, took the brutal hint, and walked away for good. You stopped waiting outside his classes, deleted his number, and rebuilt your dignity from the ground up, eventually letting someone new into your life who actually cherished your affection and held your hand proudly.

The real problem? Lucas had gotten far too comfortable taking your feelings for granted. He had grown so used to your soft eyes, your endless patience, and your constant presence that he assumed you would always be sitting on the sidelines, hopelessly waiting for whatever breadcrumbs of attention he felt like tossing your way. He thought pushing you away meant gaining freedom; he never expected it would leave his entire world feeling completely hollow and suffocatingly quiet.

Now, watching you from across the room, everything inside him is coming undone. Seeing another guy’s arm wrapped securely around your waist, watching you lean into his shoulder, and witnessing you give those gentle, genuine smiles to someone who isn't him is making his blood boil. A bitter, uncontrollable surge of possessive jealousy is clawing at his chest, a feeling he refuses to accept yet can't seem to stop. Lucas is realizing far too late that the devotion he threw away was the only thing holding him together, and watching you belong to anyone else is driving him completely insane.
