Is he the one, or a waste of time?

It will never be the same.

January, 2023

Sally celebrated New year in Cologne. She made a wish , hoping the guy would never come back into her life, thinking it was over good. She wanted to start fresh for the new year. However, nothing went as planned. He reached out to her again, texting her. Sally wasn't impressed at all. She thought to herself, "Why did he come back? What the hell is wrong with him?" Yet somehow, he managed to trick her again, and they met. He wanted something intimate again. Sally realized that he only wanted one thing. He wasn't t really interested in he, he just wanted to have fun.

Two weeks passed, and he didn't text again. She blocked him again. Sally just wanted to leave be alone and, far away for him. The meeting after a long period of no contact had a felt strange. He didn't even look her in the eye. But fate had other plans, they were placed in the same group in a project. Neither of them was happy about it, but they had to work together. They didn't speak or make eyes contact at first. Week after week, though, they began to understand each other more. But it didn't last long. Ad soon as the project was over, Sally broke off the contact again. He left her alone. That was the last moths they saw each other because the exames were coming up. She was a getting over him and met already someone new.

His name was Mateo. He was blond, had blue eyes, tattoos on his arms, her dream man. Sally supported him in every way. They met on a dating app and didn't waste any time; they quickly got together. She was really happy and couldn't wait to tell her best friend Lisa at school. When Sally shared the news, he overheard the conversation. He was upset and jealous, but Sally didn't care. She thought to herself: „he deserved it!".

Now, Mateo and Sally wanted to meet each other, but there was a problem. He only wanted to meet at night. He pressured Sally, saying, "if you really love me, you will come tonight" she cried, she torn by the decision, but she eventually decided to go. At the train station, she was just one step away from meeting him. But something inside her told her not to go. So, she went back home. Mateo was angry, and Sally cried all night, asking for his forgiveness. He told her: " You'll have to do me a favor for me to forgive you. Sally feeling desperate, agreed.

They FaceTimed and chatting all the time, but never met. He kept asking for money, lying to her, saying he had debts to pay. Sally not knowing the truth, gave him the money. He used it for drugs, alcohol, clothes and other useless things. It wasn't long before he started treating her badly and acting annoyed with her. Sally realized the truth and got rid of him, though she never got her money back. She was devastated, feeling ashamed and foolish. She didn't tell anymore what had happened.

The exams came, and she was exited to finally never see"him" again (not Mateo), but you know who. She gave him one last look and felt relieved that it was over.

Two years passed, and her training was finished. Sally was really happy. But then her boss approached her, asking if she wanted to stay for another year, she wasn't interested at all, but her boss pressured her, giving her just 10 minutes time to decide. She said yes.

The next day...

Sally sat in class, not wanting to be there. Suddenly, he walked into the room. He was completely shocked, looked twice to confirm it was really her sitting there.

After school, he immediately approached to her and ask for forgiveness. Sally was not happy. She thought to herself: "Wtf is he doing here? I totally forgot that he is still around.

She agreed to meet him, but only with the intention of telling him to leave her alone and stop coming back in to her life.

They met at their usual spot near his house, and before Sally could even speak, he tried to touch her. But  Sally immediately rejected him. He asked: "what's wrong?"

Sally replied, "did you really think,  I am here for your fun? I came to tell you that I don't want to be with you anymore. You just use me for your intentions, and I hate it.

He was speechless, unsure of what to say.

Sally screamed:  „ SAY SOMETHING !!!!".

He responded : „ don't yell at me. I would do anything for you.

Sally shot back: „No, you don't and you won't."

He said: Please. I miss you, I think about every memory we had since we broke up. Forgive me. I promise you. I will change. You just need to tell me something's is wrong instead of leaving. How I am supposed to read your mind?"

Sally couldn't say something, She tried, but deep inside, she knew he was right. Still, wasn't ready to admit it.
