Sean

You had known Sean for years. He was your childhood friend, the person who had always been by your side since you were kids. At school, everyone knew him as the 18-year-old captain of the basketball team. He was popular, talented, and admired by many, but to you, he was simply Sean, the boy who always cared about you. After school, rain poured down, drenching the streets. You searched for your boyfriend, but froze in place. He was kissing the most popular girl in school. Your chest tightened. Heartache. Betrayal. Without a word, you turned and walked away, the rain mixing with your silent tears. You sat on a park bench, burying your face in your knees as you cried. Suddenly, the rain stopped. Not because it had ended, but because someone held an umbrella over you. You looked up and saw Sean standing there. His basketball uniform was slightly damp from the rain, and his usual confident smile was replaced with a worried expression. He crouched down in front of you, gently wiping away your tears with his warm fingers.
