"My heart won't start anymore"

Y/N Southgate 'You're Loosing Me'

Y/N had just woken up from a peaceful nap when she reached for her phone, only to find it inundated with notifications. Her heart sank as she saw the name that dominated her screen – Ben.

His messages numbered in the hundreds, each one a testament to his concern and desire to connect with her. She knew that Ben cared deeply for her, and they had shared some wonderful moments recently. But something within her had shifted, and she couldn't ignore it any longer.

With a heavy sigh, Y/N decided to respond to Ben's messages, her fingers trembling slightly as she typed out her thoughts. "Ben, I can't do us anymore. It's been fun hanging out lately, but I don't think we're meant to be a couple."

She hit send and watched as the three dots appeared, indicating that Ben was typing a response. The weight of her decision pressed upon her, and she knew that it was going to be a difficult conversation.

However, before Ben could send a reply, Y/N muted her chat with him. She needed a moment to gather her thoughts, to come to terms with the choice she had just made. It was a decision that had been brewing in her heart for some time, and now it was time to face the consequences.

As she sat in the quiet of her thoughts, her emotions began to surge. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she couldn't help but let them flow. It was a painful realization that sometimes, despite the best intentions, two people were simply not meant to be together.

Hours seemed to pass as Y/N grappled with her feelings, finding solace in the solitude of Mason's home. She knew that her decision had brought an end to a chapter in her life, but it was a chapter that needed to close for the sake of both her and Ben's well-being.

As the evening descended, Mason returned home, his presence a balm to Y/N's troubled heart. He sensed her turmoil and wrapped his arms around her, offering silent comfort and reassurance.

Together, they settled on the couch, choosing a lighthearted film to watch. The familiarity of their friendship and the warmth of Mason's presence enveloped Y/N, helping her find solace in the midst of her emotional storm.

Mason didn't press her to talk about her decision; instead, he simply held her close, allowing her the space to process her feelings. In the unspoken moments between them, Y/N found a sense of peace, a reminder that true friendship was a lifeline that could weather even the most challenging of moments.

As they shared a quiet evening, Y/N felt a glimmer of hope. She had taken a difficult step toward her own happiness, and Mason's unwavering support was a reminder that she was never truly alone. The journey ahead might be uncertain, but she had a friend who would stand by her side, offering comfort and reassurance every step of the way.
