Very much one.
Before they met the girl had a step sister trying to get into the boys trousers.
He was not interested. She was already dating his best friend.
Later the sister told the step parents about the boy and the girls love and how the boy was a criminal drug taker.
The girls weak father was doing the bidding of the sisters mother who wore the trousers.
He told the boy not to see his daughter. But the they stayed together in secret.
Well that's what they thought. Something was happening in the background. It was putting a huge strain on the lovers secret lives.
Who knows what it was?
In the end the boy had had enough and told the girl he was leaving. A big thing for both. But the boy insisted. He felt he was being undermined still.
The girl pleaded and pleaded but the boy still said no.
One day the girl, pleading again told him her step mother- the mother of her step sister had terminal cancer. And needed him desperately for support.
The boy caved in and saw her again and committed to her again. Until one day soon after the girl unceremoniously dumped the boy with no reason.
And that was the end of it, the boy deeply hurt from the betrayal. It really affected him for years after.
For some reason all his friends then suddenly rejected him too. But no reason was given.
Eventually the boy realised the girl had told everyone he had dumped her, but after her step mother was diagnosed. A brutal lie.
It was a big lesson in life for the boy. A lesson that set him up for a life of success.
