Create my version of this story
I’m a neurologist and I’ve been living in this small town for the last seven years.
I grew up here, but as soon as I was done with high school, I left to go to medical school and then to do my residency.
I could have gone anywhere in the country, but I chose this small town because I wanted to be close to my parents.
They were getting older and I wanted to have a chance to get to know them as adults.
I also wanted my kids to know their grandparents.
I moved back here after my residency was over and joined the practice here.
It’s a small one, but it’s good.
There are two other doctors besides me.
One is a pediatrician and the other is an OB/GYN.
I’m the only neurologist in a fifty mile radius.
It’s good that I have a unique skill set because there are plenty of patients that need my help.
What’s not good is that they all seem to think I should be able to fix anything.
If I can’t fix it, then it’s all my fault.
Like I told one woman when she was upset that her husband had developed dementia; “I’m a neurologist, not a magician.”
The real reason I came back, though, is because of Benjamin Parker.
He’s the man I’ve been in love with since high school.
We were together all through high school and then I thought we’d be together forever after that, but things didn’t go quite as planned.
After I left for college, he met someone else.
I could tell he liked her when I saw him at Christmas break our freshman year and when I met her at spring break our sophomore year, I knew he loved her.
She seemed nice enough, but it didn’t make me like her any better.
As soon as we graduated from college, he proposed to her and she said yes.
That’s when I decided to move back home.
It hurt too much to be around him all the time so I thought by moving away, I could eventually get over him.
Seven years later and I’m still in love with him.
I’ve tried dating other people, but no one else compares to Benjamin.
I just don’t have it in me to care about anybody else the way that I care about him so since I can’t have him, and only him, then I’ve been alone.
My friends and family are all frustrated with me because they think that it’s not healthy for me to still be in love with him and not be with him so they are always trying to fix me up with somebody and always trying to get me to go out on dates, but I always say no.
All my other friends and family have found someone to be with and have either gotten married or are planning on getting married soon, but not me.
I know that they just want me to be happy and they think that if I find someone else and fall in love with them, then that will make me happy, but I can’t fall in love with somebody else because my heart belongs to Benjamin and it always will belong to him even if he doesn’t know it and even if he doesn’t want it.
