Meet Mike, he seems to be just your average now legal adult guy in the U.S.A. He's lightly tanned, has somewhat fuzzy black hair that grows into a little Mohawk once in a while, a normal physique, and nice taste in clothes. He lives in California near Sacramento and his home is nice and clean. It is right in the center of the sunny state. The sun is almost always present as if guarding the whole state itself like some angel. His life seems to be swell as he has a new car, a good career going on (with cooking, his greatest joy), and now lives with his girlfriend Dawn. It seems like his life couldn't get any better right? Well, not exactly… but we can get to that in time.
Mike now wakes up as his alarm clock goes off like a siren in his room. He grumbles and yawns. He stretches and rubs his eyes and they reveal a nice pair of chocolate brown pearls in pools of black and white. He sighs and starts to look at his picture of him and his girlfriend together. It was at a party about a year or so ago. They looked very happy embracing each other and having fun dancing. He laughed a little and shook his head. 'We were so happy then…' he thought to himself. Now Dawn was indeed Mike's boyfriend. She was about 5 feet or so, had brownish hair, pale and pink skin, and I think somewhat hazel eyes. Her physique was somewhat voluptuous and that was just fine with him. They got together just a year or so ago.
Mike again sighed to himself and looked to see yet another empty bed space next to his. Dawn seemed to have left for work especially in art as usual. Mike got out of the bed and went into the bathroom to start his routine. He cleaned his teeth with white golden floss and his automatic brush like he was a dentist. He made sure every nook and cranny was clean, almost as if he was afraid he'd get sick if he didn't. He washed his face and looked at himself in the mirror. He was fine except that his "smile muscles" still sagged down a bit and there were limited bags under his eyes. He then sighed and went to go eat his usual breakfast. 'It's always the damn same everyday…' Mike thought to himself. He had accepted that as a part of life for quite a long time now. As you can see, Mike is depressed. He had always been probably since high school.
At that time, he was just your average go lucky teen that had quite some friends. He even got hooked up with a few girls… some of them were quite good for him even at first. But with every single one of those as time went by, they'd always crumble for some reason. Most of the time it wasn't his fault. Some things happened that were way out of his control. But his faith started to slip away with the later ones. Most of the time those last few girls, especially the last one before Dawn, would often set up very harsh rules and expectations in the relationship even over minor things like seeing each other and calling. If he ever did "cross the line", he'd usually be severely berated and verbally beat up and be told in many ways that it was his fault. He'd be called "dumbass", "asshole", "fucker", just about every hellish swear people would call him. And that happened even over things that normally wouldn't be punishable. So Mike also suffered emotionally and somewhat mentally. Then after all that was said and done, the girl would either make it like it was some joke, ignore it, or plainly "beat him around" some more if he ever tried to talk about it and what he felt about it.
It was so bad that he finally had it. He was so depressed that he even wished "he never existed". He had even tried to attempt to take his life only to "chicken out" at the last moment. He even left suicide letters which obviously concerned and saddened his parents, especially his mother. But after a talk with her, he felt just a little bit better. But he was still so scared that he was that close to "ending it all" so soon. In spite of it all, he was still depressed as the loneliness and the regret still set in even after he broke up with that girl. He felt like he'd be so lonely forever… that he wasn't really wanted much still.
As Mike thought back to all that, he shuddered like the wind. But he eventually smiled just a little bit. He was now thinking to when he and Dawn finally got together. They were friends for quite a while and they seemed to get along very much well together. It seemed only natural to "hook up" with her. As always at first, they seemed to get along well and especially got closer after a very fun session of truth or dare. By sometime after, they got together. They seemed to always want to see each other. She'd even try to see him first as often as possible. They couldn't even bear one second apart from each other. They always cuddled and even kissed. They eventually then decided to move in with each other. But then that's when things started to take some kind of turn.
Mike of course loved her. He didn't see the monstrous qualities of the last girl in her at all. She seemed somewhat genuine and kind. She always tried to make time for him and herself. She even gave him some advice while he had trouble with the last girl. Of course, with time, she seemed a bit more distant from him. Now that she had some work in the art department, she seemed to be more absent than ever. Of course, he didn't mind. He was kind and understanding. He thought that things would work out as everyone is always busy in some way. But eventually, she just seemed more distant from him. She was almost always busy. There were rarely even any hugs between them. Even when he said "I love you" even at home, she'd still be distant and busy and would rarely ever respond. They'd now even sleep in bed facing away from each other. It kind of saddened him over time.
But through all of this, if one event in their relationship would be the most devastating, he knew what event that was. It was a regular summer day in the year of their time being together and he was playing a videogame on the computer. She went up to him and they started some small talk at first. Then she said something that would change him forever. "You know… I'm thinking to leave the states sometime in the soon future." she said flatly. He then jumped up from his seat and paused his game. "Wait what!" he exclaimed. He was really surprised as this was a serious change. "Yeah. Once I travel out of here, I want to pursue animation and the states aren't known for that." Mike then stared at her blankly for a bit then replied, "But this is my home and I want us to stay together. I have so much here and I don't want to be moved off that either." Dawn then shook her head, "I'm not really going to change my mind. Besides once that happens, I'm going to probably break off everything at that point…" Mike then felt like a bullet just hit into his chest at what she said. 'What? She's going to break up with me..?' Mike then felt tears well a bit in his eyes. Mike then sharply breathed in and out. "So we're breaking up?" he gasped. She simply shrugged and said, "Possibly. I don't want anything tying me down here. I just want to start over." Mike then pounded the desk. "Did I do anything? Why are you going to leave me behind to pick up all the pieces? Do you enjoy me being in pain!" Mike then growled.
"I-I'm not… I-" she stammered. "Then why did we do all that stuff together then if this is what was going to happen! You're probably never going to be there for me now and I'll be alone! I'm broken again… I can't believe it." Dawn tried to pet him reassuringly even as he growled back. "You'll be fine." She whispered. "No I won't. I'll never love again. My mother was right, the only woman who's selfless enough to stay by your side no matter what is the mother! I-I wish I was dead!" Mike yelled. "Please don't think that way please don't." Dawn tried to say to him but to no avail. His auto phobia was kicking in like crazy. "Why the FUCK not! I'm going to lose my only woman in this lifetime and everything! Why didn't I jump off and end it all!" Mike screamed. "That's not the answer Mike. I'm not really good at relationships to tell you the truth. There will be others even too…" she said soothingly. "But you've been faithful all this time. It's like you really want this. I bet you never even really loved me didn't you!" Mike shouted almost as an accusation. "I do love you and I always had! I don't throw that shit around!" she shouted back. "Besides it's still a long time from now so just fucking forget it okay!"
Mike then cringed and tensed angrily and sadly. His chocolate brown eyes showed sadness, hurt, depression, despair, and betrayal. He finally threw his hands down in surrender and nodded. He was too tired now to say anything back. She then sighed and left the room. Ever since that time, his life and perspective especially of her changed dramatically. He's still scarred by it now that he thought about it. They now started arguing quite a bit and it was intense. He saw a side of her that he never did before and he was dismayed. This is not what he ever bargained for. He even asked if she ever had feelings and she just shrugged and laughed it off saying, "I don't ever have any feelings really now that you ask…" Mike again cringed and thought if she ever had any feelings for him at all.
After those days, she became busier and more absent then ever if that was ever possible. He was quite lonely most of the time and he had few options now. He even started to use alcohol in quite an amount. Even if she had free time, she really spent it on doing art, spending time with other friends, and other stuff. She rarely ever "made space" for him. Though he graciously took what came to him even though it was torture. He wasn't so much selfish, he just felt left out and just wanted to have some meaningful time with her. He wanted to go back to those first and young days when things weren't as swamped and bad as they were before. His depression came back with a grudge and it gripped him. Of course, it wasn't all "that bad." He had family and one more person that especially trumped all the things he went through. He could even say that it was one of the only things preventing him from going completely insane and miserable. That person was his awesome best friend and "bro" Matt…
