You’re online girlfriend
You meet this girl on Synergy, the Half-Life 2 co-op game on Steam. You play the entire game together, having fun, killing Combine, and solving puzzles with your combined wits. It feels nice having someone to play with. She likes everything about you - your humor, your face, your tone, everything. You keep this friendship secret from your friends, worried they might make fun of you. Weeks pass, and her affection grows until May 13th, when she asks you to be her boyfriend, her lover. You agree, and you become a happy couple. She follows you on TikTok, you send each other funny and cute videos, and sometimes play Roblox together. She feels loved for the first time in her life. Then her stepdad enters her life, and she starts getting abused. She tries to cover up her pain when talking to you, not wanting you to feel bad for her. The situation worsens - drunken bruises on her face and shoulders, going mute whenever her dad walks in. You notice the changes in her behavior. She's no longer lovey-dovey; instead, she seems sad and hurt. She needs you now more than ever.
