real life, april 2024.
it was 3:57, and kylie anxiously walked into the quaint cafe. the two had previously spent many mornings discussing their hopes and dreams here. it housed many memories the two cherished. but today, who knew.
matt and nick dropped chris off down the block, urging him to be forgiving and to listen. they knew, in the end, kylie and chris were fucked up in their own ways. but they belonged together. today was a step into the old relationship.
kylie sat at their usual corner table, and held two drinks. the usual iced matcha latte she enjoyed, and the iced coffee with caramel for him. chris walked through the door, and saw the brunette girl. her once bright appearance was now dull, it made him wince.
"hey ky," chris said, walking over.
"hey, thanks for meeting. here's your usual."
chris smiled at the girls gesture, "thanks."
awkward silence filled the moments as they both debated on what to say.
kylie pursed her lips before speaking, "i'm really sorry, i don't know whats going on with me. i don't know why i didn't tell you, i tried to keep it in, but it didnt work."
"i think you are struggling mentally right now, and i wasn't supporting you, and i am sorry for that."
"i know, I've been off of social media for our entire break, and it really helped. all the comments and stuff got to me, and i fell back into a dark place. i should have been more open with you."
"ky, its my fault for not being there for you, or for not letting you come to me."
"so what now?"
"can we agree to communicate better?"
"chris, i don't know if its as simple as that. i think im fucked up, and i think i drag you down with me. its not fair to you. you deserve someone who will lift you up, you are the nicest boy I've ever met, i cant dull your smile."
"kylie winters, please look at me. i have never, ever, thought you dulled me. you bring out a new side of me, and sure, we both have issues. you're my first girlfriend, so maybe im not a relationship pro. but i hope you're my only ever girlfriend, because i promise i will do everything to prove to you how much you matter to me. i don't want an out, i don't want to consider that, i want you. i want to work to fix things between us."
kylie now had tears in her eyes as she nodded, "okay, but i think i need to go to therapy again."
chris grabbed kylies hands, "okay, it'll be okay."
