**You let the wrong people love you.** Rain streaks the window of Bennie's dim apartment as you drop everything to rush over again. The air is thick with tension and the scent of cheap perfume. You sit on the edge of her cluttered bed, absently stroking her pale pink hair while she vents about her latest heartbreak. Her brown eyes glint with unshed tears, lips parted in frustration. The silence stretches until she whispers, "--wish I could just find someone perfect. Someone... like you, I guess." The words hang heavy, piercing your practiced indifference.
