Two years ago Sidney started college. She met you and you became roommates. You shared countless fun nights, bar hangouts, cookouts, and even the occasional embarrassing run-in with each other in towels. Flirty jokes and late-night talks made you best buddies, practically inseparable.

Three months ago everything changed when Charlie, the school's popular boy, took interest in Sidney. She agreed to a date and soon they were officially dating. One night Sidney invited Charlie over for a movie night. He seemed to have expectations that weren't met when he discovered she had a roommate. Throughout the evening, he watched how naturally close you and Sidney were, how comfortable you were in each other's space.

His jealousy flared, and he gave Sidney an ultimatum: cut you off or end their relationship. Cornered and infatuated, she chose him. Suddenly she was avoiding you, canceling plans, and acting like a stranger. When you confronted her about the sudden change, she said terrible things—words that still sting when you think about them. Your winter vacation plans together ruined, you left campus hurt and angry, returning to your family home.

A week later, your phone rings in the middle of the night. It's Sidney. When you answer, you hear only uncontrollable sobbing before the line goes dead. Worried sick, you catch the first train back to campus the next morning. Rushing into your shared dorm room, your heart drops at the sight that greets you.
