03:28i stood in the hallway
03:30realized something bitter
03:32i am the nightmare x they were talking about
03:37i still remember our freshman year
03:39ryan stood in the crowd in his faded old clothes
03:42he was totally an outsider
03:45but he was the only one i saw
03:48until last week
03:49when he suddenly showed up
03:51i loved his cold calm voice when he was talking to me
03:55and i loved the way he looked down at me
03:59ryan was desperate for money back then
04:02so one night after class i grabbed his hand
04:05i like you ryan
04:07be with me
04:08i have money
04:09we can share
04:10i could even pay you for one night

04:20i didn't know the word lose meant
04:24the more he said no
04:25no
04:26the harder i chased him
04:30everything changed when his grandfather got sick
04:34without thinking
04:35i paid all the medical bills
04:38that was the moment ryan finally gave in
04:41i was so stupid
04:44i thought i was being a hero
04:48it took me a long time to realize
04:51i got the man
04:56but i crushed his soul
05:02even after we started dating
05:04he worked every single day
05:05he barely touched my money
05:07but things got worse
05:08people started to spread rumors
05:10they said he had sold himself
05:12i was so naive
05:13i just held his hand and said
05:15ignore them
05:16i lived in my own little world
05:17never realized ryan was fighting his war all alone
05:21senior year
05:22my family lost everything
05:23i didn't tell him the truth
05:25i just called him out and said

08:45i grabbed my files
08:46and headed to the meeting
08:48i heard a familiar voice inside
08:51i need to rethink this partnership
08:53i pushed the door open
08:55and set the files down
08:56ryan's eyes locked onto mine instantly

09:13ryan pointed at me
09:15and looked at my boss
09:16i'm willing to sign

09:20i want chloe as my private assistant
09:22of course

09:38mr warren
09:38what could be more important
09:40than your work
09:42i have another job
09:44i have to go deliver food now
09:46ryan just stared at me
09:47in total shock
09:48i used to be so spoiled
09:50i was the kind of person
09:51who wouldn't even touch takeout
09:52back in college
09:54ryan spent all his after school hours
09:56delivering food
09:56his dinner was usually
09:58just a cheap free meal
09:59provided by the delivery company
10:01one day i went to find him
10:03i saw him squeezed into a tiny room
10:05with a bunch of other uber eat drivers
10:07they were all just shoving food
10:09into their mouths
10:10from plastic boxes
10:11i said
10:13ryan how can you eat that
10:14it's so unhealthy
10:15he looked so uncomfortable
10:18he looked at me and asked
10:19does it really matter if it's healthy
10:21come on
10:22let's go grab some steak
10:24i dragged him to a new steakhouse
10:26where a meal costs over 100 bucks
10:30he stood at the door for a long time
10:32then he silently took off his delivery uniform
10:35it wasn't until my family lost everything
10:38that i finally understood how he felt that day
10:40and i understood his pain
10:42just like i felt today
10:44it started snowing on the street
10:46the ground was so slippery
10:48and the food spilled everywhere
10:52i called the customer to explain
10:54but he just screamed at me
10:57hello
10:58i'm so sorry
10:59it's snowing and the roads are icy
11:02i fell off my bike
11:03and the food spilled
11:04don't make excuses
11:05you're late
11:06i'm so sorry
11:07i'm so sorry
11:08my palms were cracked and bleeding
11:10it hurt so badly
11:11but i didn't have time to care
11:13suddenly ryan appeared and grabbed my bike
11:15i had no idea how long he'd been standing there
11:18watching me
11:19i reflexively hid my hands behind my back
11:24stop hiding them
11:25i saw them
11:25go wash them
11:26right now
11:27his voice was raspy
11:28and his eyes were bloodshot
11:30i have to deliver the food first
11:32get in the car
11:33i'll take you
11:34the customer lived on the first floor
11:37when i handed him the meal
11:38he grumbled
11:40what the
11:40a porsche driver delivering takeout
11:42i checked my phone
11:44i had to pick up the next order
11:47stop
11:48don't go
11:49i can't
11:50i haven't made enough money tonight
11:52then i'll buy it
11:53then i'll buy it
11:54what
11:55i can't believe what i heard
11:57he reached into his coat
11:59and pulled out a thick stack of cash
12:00he didn't even count it
12:02he just pressed the money into my bleeding hands
12:05i'm buying your time for the rest of the night
12:07the porsche pulled up to ryan's house
12:10he opened the door for me
12:12i stepped out hesitantly
12:13standing at his front door i stopped
12:16stella wouldn't like it
12:17i refused to go inside
12:19you're still worried about her
12:21look at yourself
12:22you're a mess
12:23my palms were torn up
12:24and my clothes were soaked with dirty melted snow
12:28and look at this house
12:29does it look like a woman lives here
12:31you guys
12:32aren't living together
12:34i was never even with her
12:36ryan pulled out a contract and handed it to me
12:38six months ago
12:40she came to me for a deal
12:42she didn't want to be harassed by all those scumbags
12:45so she asked me to play her fake boyfriend
12:48he explained further
12:49making sure i understood
12:51and some gold diggers like to target tech ceos like us
12:54it's annoying
12:56stella could help me get rid of them as well
12:58i opened the contract
13:00and the words practically jumped off the page
13:03no interference in each other's private lives
13:06ryan took my hand and started treating my wounds
13:09then i saw a row of unopened hand creams on the shelf
13:13it was my favorite brand
13:15ryan had bought the entire set
13:17i talked to your co-works today
13:19you don't have a boyfriend
13:21you even told everyone you were single last week
13:25tell me the truth
13:26there is no wedding chloe
13:27admit it
13:30you're wrong there is
13:33then show me a photo
13:35a photo of you and that guy
13:37we
13:38we don't have any photos together
13:41you
13:43you love taking pictures
13:45and you're telling me you don't have a single photo with your new man
13:49you just reminded me
13:51i'll take one next time and show it to you
13:54ryan let out a cold frustrated laugh
13:57suddenly he leaned over
13:59he pushed me back onto the couch
14:01trapping me completely
14:02i couldn't move even through my sweater
14:05i could feel the heat radiating from his body
14:09i bought your time for tonight
14:11i'll give your money back ryan
14:13i'm really getting married
14:14his hand slid down my shoulder slowly
14:17until he reached my wrist
14:19he stopped
14:20getting married
14:21and yet you're still wearing the bracelet your ex-boyfriend sent you
14:24that doesn't seem right does it
14:25i looked down
14:26there was a thin chain on my wrist
14:28over the years it had lost its shine
14:31it was the very first gift ryan ever gave me
14:33i was 19 and the world was different then
14:36there was a week i barely saw him except for classes
14:39he was working every part-time job he could find
14:42he was working harder than ever
14:44on my birthday
14:45my parents threw a party for me at a fancy restaurant
14:47i invited ryan but he didn't show up
14:50i waited and waited
14:52finally when the party was over my phone rang
14:56i'm outside the restaurant
14:57i walked out in the middle of a heavy snowstorm
15:01there he was standing tall and straight
15:03he looked exhausted just like i do today
15:06his cheap yellow delivery uniform was covered in mud
15:09back then i didn't know what's happening
15:11all i did was complain about him being late
15:14ryan just smiled and rubbed my hair
15:16he told me he got me a gift
15:18it was a simple bracelet
15:20but i knew it was way more than he could afford
15:22i loved it so much that i couldn't wait to put it on
15:25and for years i never took it off
15:26my parents called me from inside the restaurant
15:29who were you talking to
15:30they asked who i was talking to
15:32they never liked ryan
15:33they thought he was too poor for me
15:35when i turned back around
15:36ryan was already gone
15:38disappearing into the snow
15:40looking back today i can't help but wonder
15:42back when we were 19
15:44ryan did love me didn't he
15:45that bracelet
15:47he worked day and night just to buy it for me
15:49was he just like me tonight
15:51running through the snow
15:53falling down but getting back up just to get that gift to me
15:56but what about now
15:57he's now pressing me down into the sofa
15:59his shadow looming over me
16:01his house is filled with luxury brands i used to love
16:03does he still care about me
16:05or is he just trying to humiliate me
16:07i couldn't figure it out
16:09before i knew it
16:10tears started rolling down my face
16:11ryan froze
16:13he looked completely panicked
16:14he could never handle it when i cried
16:17that's the one thing about him that hasn't changed at all
16:19he scrambled to wipe the tears from my face
16:22don't cry
16:23please don't cry
16:25i'm sorry
16:26i didn't mean to make you cry
16:29today's your 26th birthday

16:46trying to help me put on the new bracelet

17:09he didn't open the windows
17:10but kept lighting one cigarette after another
17:13the smoke was thick
17:14making me cough uncontrollably
