Darren's POV

My life in general is a happy one. I live in a beautiful place, with a beautiful wife and two beautiful children. But... I'm still not gonna forget Ryan. I know he hates me. He has the right to. And I know if he ever sees me again, it won't end well. I sat down next to Bianca. I kissed her cheek. "Something wrong?" she asked. "I'm thinking about him... again," I confessed. Not only was my wife stunning and caring (THAT'S EXACTLY WHY YOU DON'T DESERVE HER), she also listened. She knew I had trouble whenever I started thinking about Ryan, and she didn't mind that I often thought about my ex-boyfriend. "Darren, you've never told me how you two broke up in the first place. Why don't you start there? Maybe it'll help," Bianca suggested. I sighed and laughed. "Okay, but we were young stupid teenagers... or at least I was stupid...

"Ryan and I had been dating for two years. I wanted him to have an escape from his parents, so when they were out for a weekend, I suggested we have a party at his place. He didn't agree at first, but I told him that if there was a mess, I'd help him clean up. And Ryan said okay. While we were at the party, I met a girl there. She said her name was Taylor. I talked to her a while and she eventually told me that she knew me at school and that she fell for me. I, of course, had to reject her.

"But she came prepared. What I didn't know was that she had a sort of medication or... something, my memory's really fuzzy about it (OF COURSE IT IS SHE DRUGGED YOU), and it made me temporarily hallucinate. She spiked my drink with it (yes that's what I'm saying for every time something goes horrible wrong or weird). The next time I saw her, my vision was extremely blurred and something about her just said to me, 'Ryan'. So she started flirting with me and eventually got me to kiss her. 

"But after that, Ryan saw us, and he got really steamed. He started yelling. Part of it, I remember, was when I said, 'I'm sorry! I thought she was you, I swear!' but he came back with, 'Of course! Because she has brown hair, a square-ish face, and a flat chest!' I admittedly was really upset about it. Part of it was also embarrassing because Ryan's best friend, Thomas, and his cousin, Ella, were there. I looked up to them, and I didn't want them to hate me, but I kinda failed at that.

"After that, I never spoke to Taylor (OMG i just realized Taylor Swift okay i'll go now bye) again, and Ryan's hated me ever since. I guess it doesn't help that I went crazy on him, and... Bianca, I did something awful. I found out that Ryan had a new boyfriend, and I didn't care at first, because I thought that Ryan and I might still have a chance. But I sent him a text to meet up with me, and he explained that he and his boyfriend had gotten engaged. I was so mad. I... I fought him, I tried to kill him, I broke his legs, and I just left him alone, hurt, as he was. Bianca, if you feel any different about me after this, I'll understand," I finished the story and looked at Bianca. A tear had fallen down her brown cheek. "That is so sad," she said. 

"Aww, Bianca, please don't cry," I pleaded. She kissed me softly. Then, Joseph and Connor ran into the living room. "Mom! Dad! There's two spiders fighting!" Connor yelled. "Can you get rid of them?" My arachnophobia kicked in. I hesitated, but I managed to find the spiders and kill them. I was a hero to the twin boys. I was a light in Bianca's eyes. I've definitely changed. How would Bianca feel if I tried to make up with Ryan, once and for all?

(what? I had to do something to ease the moment... Bianca's a cinnamon roll and Connor and Joseph are adorable)
