My Boyfriend Kept Forgetting Me, So His Brother Started Showing Up
300 Views · Ongoing · Elowyn
I used to think love was supposed to hurt.
Sidney forgot me five times in one month, left me waiting in the dark, and always had a reason—Azalea needed help, his friends needed him, something else came first.
I told myself he loved me.
He just loved me lazily.
Then one night, after I missed the last bus from my competition, I called the Lawson house. Sidney wasn’t there. Elijah answered.
He was rude. Cold. Infuriating.
But he came.
When three men cornered me on an empty street, Elijah became a wall between me and danger. When I cried in my bathroom, he cleaned my bruises. When my calf cramped so badly I couldn’t stand, he knelt on the tile and fixed the pain with careful hands.
He never said sweet things.
He just showed up.
Again and again.
Soon, I started looking for him in every crowd, every rainstorm, every silent night. I told myself it was gratitude. Dependence. Anything but love.
Because falling for Elijah meant betraying Sidney.
But how long can a heart stay loyal to someone who never protects it?
