"So she wants you back?" I asked, my heart pounding with mixed emotions.

"Yeah." He replied, his tone conveying indifference.

"That's good! So our plan worked." I forced a smile, hiding the ache inside.

"I guess."

"But I just need to ask." I mustered the courage, knowing it was now or never.

He looked at me, his eyes waiting for my question.


𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏'𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒎𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏' 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒉𝒆𝒓, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒆.


"Can't it just be me? The one inside your heart?" I pleaded, pointing to his chest.


𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝑰 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒂 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒚𝒐𝒖, 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒚𝒐𝒖. 𝑺𝒉𝒆'𝒔 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒈𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒂 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐.


He shrugged, his gesture sending a wave of disappointment crashing over me.

"I guess that means no." I winced, feeling the sting of rejection.

"Don't you like me?" I asked, the words escaping my lips even though I knew the answer.


𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒎𝒆 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒊𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒌𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒎𝒆. 𝑾𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒃𝒆 𝒂 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍, 𝒎𝒊𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒍𝒆, 𝒖𝒏𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆, 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒊𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆.


"No." His reply pierced through my heart, shattering the fragile hope I held onto.

"It's fine, I know you're happier with her." I forced another smile, hiding my true feelings.
