he was used to being used.

girls would use him to get their real crushes jealous. guys would joke around with him. no one acknowledged him for anything but his kindness and honesty.

he was the type of guy no one would ever date or gush over at sleepovers. he just ended up being the "brother."

and that really stung.

when a guy who wanted to be loved and accepted like everyone else has been turned down just because he was too nice.
