Hi there, jellybean.

He never even called me "jellybean" when we were dating.  I don't actually remember any of the pet names that he gave me while we were dating.  "Jellybean," however, has always stood out to me, because he gave me that name after we were over.  I didn't become "jellybean" until after I called him and asked him not to contact me anymore.  It wasn't until after I stopped replying to his text messages and answering his phone calls.  He stopped being part of my life.  Yet, not only was it clear that he still wanted me in his, but it seemed like the role I had in his mind was only growing.

Hi there, jellybean.

That's the way I imagine he would greet me.

With a seemingly innocent greeting that would completely shatter my entire world.
