This is the story of Robbie.

Emilia Holcomb was a nice girl, she was shy but the boys would always flock to her as she had that look about her that made her look rather approachable no matter if she wanted to be or not, it became to be a pain in the ass as she grew up because she couldn't go out with anyone without some sort of guy approaching her even if she was out with her boyfriend. Feeling like she was always apologizing for the way everyone treated her she was talking to a guy she had known for a while and they began to talk more frequently, his name was Robert Kent. The conversations between Emilia and Robert were innocent at first just friendly chats as they were getting to know one another and everything seemed like it was going well until one day one of Emilia's friends started to stick his nose where it didn't belong. That man was Craig Small who wanted Emilia all to himself and did everything in his power to talk shit about Robert and put him down when he talked to Emilia.One day during a conversation between Emilia and Robert, Robert noticed that it was taking longer than normal for Emilia to reply and wondered if everything was okay so he asked her, she told him that Craig kept messaging her which was holding up the conversation between her and Robert, at first Robert seemed to be understanding and just went with it as the conversations speed didn't change much but he then noticed that she started to as questions to Robert that were hinting about Craig, such as What does it mean if a guy says and What does it mean if a guy does... This immediately annoyed Robert as he was just losing his mind at this point in time and tried to steer the conversation away from Craig and but more he tried deeper it became about Craig that's when Robert got silent for a moment or two then it popped up on Emilia's phone Robert has logged off. She thought something was wrong and knew that she could get ahold of him in other ways so she sent him a text knowing that he's always quick to reply to texts and knowing that at times the internet isn't always stable out in the country so maybe he just lost connection. After a few moments Robert still hadn't replied, she sent two more before calling his cell and then his house phone both provided the same no-answer result.Emilia kept trying to tell Robert and to convince him that he didn't have to worry about Craig as she only had eyes for him, Robert was unsure at this point in time if he believed her or not.Later that night Emilia sent Robert another text when she still hadn't heard from him saying that Craig showed up at her house and she didn't know why. Still no reply, so Craig begain to apologize about how he was acting earlier and saying it was all in good fun trying to be sincere he then pulled out his phone and pulled up his messaging app and showed Emilia and said to her Look at who I've been fucking with on social media Emilia looked at it and seen Roberts name and profile picture, she looked at Craig and said You shouldn't be doing things like that Craig replied and said Why what's he going to do to me ? He pisses me off I'll fucking kill himCraig slides closer to Emilia trying to get more comfortable witih her she is unsure how she feels about his current moveAs a moment of silence happens Emilia's house phone rings and rings by the third ring the answering machine picked it up and she hears the voice of Robert on the phoneI see you did decide to go over tonight, it's a pitty that you seem to want to mock me on social media but it's just oh so easy to find you when I want, but not so easy to find me. ... That's a nice truck you have, company truck ?, I notice the companies name is all over it. It would be a shame if anything happened to it Craig pushes end call. He then turns and has his focuses on Emilia again as he approaches her and puts his arm around her she seems uneasy and tries to wiggle away but Craig pulls her closer.The phone rings, and once again it goes to the answering machine it's Robert again. Do you have a girlfriend of your own ?, Don't answer that.. I know the answer, you do too. I know you'd just lie to me about it... Do you put this much effort into your own relationship as you do into this ? ... Robert then hangs up the phone.Craig's phone starts buzzing with a social media notification he looks at it and taps the screen posted on Craig's
