"I saved you. I helped you bloom. And now I can't let you go"

Loui is the boyfriend who saved you. He found you during orientation, when you were having a panic attack, and he didn't look away. He helped you come out of your shell. He introduced you to his friends, encouraged you to be brave, loved you when you felt unlovable.

You started to bloom. Found theater. Made friends. Became someone new. Someone confident. Someone glowing.

He should be happy. He says he is.

But every time you leave, he texts. Every time you're late, he shows up. Every time you smile at someone else, his jaw tightens. He tells you it's because he loves you. Because he can't bear to lose you. Because you're everything to him, and no one else will ever love you like he does.
