*Sam's P.O.V*

As I lie here in my bed, my mind can't help but drift back to Eli. The ache in my chest reminds me of the love we once shared. I miss him so much, his touch, his laughter, and the way he made me feel alive. But deep down, I know that this time alone is necessary for both of us.

Thoughts of our time together flood my mind, and it's hard not to get lost in the memories. The late-night conversations, the adventures we embarked on, and the way he looked at me with such adoration. It's as if a part of me is missing without him by my side.

But amidst the longing, I realize that I need this time to find myself again. I've lost sight of who I am in the midst of our relationship, and it's time to rediscover my own passions and dreams. It's a bittersweet realization, knowing that I have to let go in order to grow.

So, as I lay here, I make a promise to myself. I will focus on self-care, nurture my own well-being, and embrace this journey of self-discovery. It won't be easy, and the pain of missing Eli will linger, but I know that in the end, it will be worth it.

I close my eyes, hoping that time will heal our wounds and that our paths will align once more. Until then, I'll embrace this solitude, knowing that it's a necessary step towards finding my own happiness.

As I lay in bed, enjoying the peace and quiet of my solitude, I was abruptly jolted from my tranquility by the sound of the doorbell ringing. Ugh, seriously? Who could be bothering me at this hour? Annoyance washed over me as I wondered who had the audacity to disturb my precious alone time.

Reluctantly, I dragged myself out of the cozy confines of my bed and made my way towards the front door. Thoughts raced through my mind as I approached. Could it be a neighbor with some trivial request? Or maybe a salesperson trying to sell me something I don't need?

With a mix of irritation and curiosity, I swung open the door, ready to give the intruder a piece of my mind. But as soon as I laid eyes on him, my annoyance melted away, replaced by a rush of warmth and excitement. It was Miguel, my dear friend and partner in crime. A smile spread across my face, and all my irritation vanished into thin air.

"Miguel! What a surprise!" I exclaimed, my annoyance completely forgotten.

In that moment, I realized that sometimes unexpected interruptions can lead to moments of joy and connection.

Even though, I wasn't expecting Miguel to be here. I remembered that he was last in Mexico looking for his dad. He must be finished with his trip already.

"Hey, Sam." Miguel sent me a smile.

I welcomed Miguel into my home, ready to embrace the adventure and excitement that his presence would bring.

"I thought you would've been in Mexico still." I said as I sat back down on the couch and he joined me.

"Trip didn't last long." He said, truthfully.. "It took a turn."

"What happened?"

He chuckled lightly but he probably did it to light up the situation. "I just found out my dad's true colors. Why my mom decided to not be married to him anymore. He's a bad man who's doing bad things. Now I know why my mom didn't want me to know about him because of what he's done."

As I sat near Miguel, listening to him recount the details of his trip to Mexico, a wave of sadness washed over me. His voice trembled with a mix of disappointment and frustration as he described the challenges he faced and the missed opportunities he encountered.

I couldn't help but empathize with him. Seeing Miguel, usually so full of energy and enthusiasm, feeling downcast broke my heart. I wanted nothing more than to wrap him in a comforting embrace and let him know that I was there for him.
