You threw it away
#WritcoStoryPrompt121
Write a short story with the word "Jealousy" as the main theme.

I didn't understand jealousy till I felt it. I didn't understand until I saw someone I liked wasting there life away with someone else. At the time I thought there is nothing to be mad about, there not dating me, they never admitted to liking me in the slightest. Until they broke up with the person they were with at the time. Then they started being friendly again, then they said they liked me, and also started flirting, but then they got a girlfriend. For awhile I was telling myself there relationship was going to end, but then I realized why should I wait for them when they don't deserve me. Why should I wait after they played with my heart then threw it away. Then they ghosted me, had pictures of there girlfriend on there story and you know what, I wasn't jealous in the slightest, not anymore, because I realized that my heart is a prize to be won and they didn't fight hard enough to earn it.
