By now you know that I am a jealous mother ducker who hisses at anyone who comes within a five foot radius of you. But when our relationship first started blooming, neither of us knew how horrifyingly jealous I could become over absolutely nothing.

Not until the day you added Erin on Facebook.

While I was scrolling mindlessly through your Facebook (with your permission, of course) one day, a notification popped up from your friend request section. All I needed to see was the first four letters Erin and my chest throbbed like a thousand suns and my skin felt like it was on fire. I remember thinking who the hell is this chump and why did my boyfriend add him on Facebook as well as is he hotter than me?

All of these questions eventually led to a downward spiral of jealousy and bitterness that led to an even further downward spiral of embarrassment. I jumped up from your super comfy couch after slamming down your super cool Mario cart set up and marched straight to your super amazing gaming room, while you were live on Twitch to literal thousands of people, and I asked:

"Who. The hell. Is Erin?"

The look on your face was priceless. Had I not been a raging midget at the time, I would've laughed at how surprised your face looked at that moment. You slowly reached over to mute you mic and I swear to god, Satan was within me when I hissed:

"Don't you ducking dare mute your mic. Who is he?"

Your mouth looked similar to a fish's as you tried to explain, your finger still hovering over the mute button. "Tom, I'm in the middle of-"

"Some other guy's legs? Yeah, I can see that."

Your cheeks flushed the most adorable shade of red as you looked between me and your stream. "Tom. Please."

"Who is he?!"

It was like you almost felt bad for me when you said what was next to come. "Erin was the event coordinator at the last twitch con. She sent you the free t-shirt that had my name printed on it."

She.

This is Erin, but I had always known her as Aureylian or Aurey. I had no idea her actual name was Erin. And while she is probably one of the cutest girls on the planet, I knew you had never been into women before. She was just your really pretty and really super nice best friend who you played Minecraft with sometimes. Whom I accused of being the subject of your cheating. I am a piece of sh!t.

And after coming to that realization, the following moments were the most embarrassing of my entire life. You chose then to mute your mic and try to talk some more, but I was too ashamed of myself to stay in your gaming room in your house that you paid for and let me stay in for free, and in repayment I accused you of cheating. I walked out quietly and shut the door behind me, to let you continue your stream where later you would be harassed by those same viewers for being a man whore and 'cheating on me'. I read comments on your next video after that, and I found that people were saying harsh sh!t to me too for accusing you so wrongly and dragging Erin in the mud. I felt sick every time I looked at video comments. I felt nauseous every time you tried to talk to me after that. You have no idea how guilty I was.

One day you cornered me though. I was trying to leave for the park to go feed the pigeons and cry, but you blocked me on the bathroom and locked the door behind us.

"You are beating yourself up over nothing."

"I accused you of cheating-"

"You had right to be suspicious and jealous, it's completely okay."

"But Erin is so nice!"

"She said she forgives you and wants to meet up for ice cream next time she's here. Tom, you are the only one who is still upset."

"That's not what the comments say!"

"Those comments are from seven year-olds who masturbate to drama and ruining someone's life. It's okay. We forgive you. Please stop beating yourself up."

You gave me a hug. I kinda acted pathetic for an hour or two before I finally snapped out of it and we had this huge cuddle session. We watched a Naked Gun marathon on the couch for what felt like forever. You promised you'd never cheat on me. You promised I'd always be your number one.

You made me feel like the only person in your life, and that felt so awesome.
