A / N: TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️
mentions of alcohol, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts

—

We meet many people in our lives, and some of them just happen to be more special than the others. They impact our lives in ways we never thought they would, and that special bond will give us the light and warmth we need when the only thing that surrounds us is cold and darkness.

Hey, I need to tell you something.

I know that it's been 2-3 years since we broke up, and everything's okay now, but I still feel like my mind's not really at peace. I just want to have a proper closure.

"Welcome back! So, how was your 1-year business + leisure trip, Wendy? It's been a while, and you did not even bother updating us through your social accounts. " Mark asks the person on the other line as he works on his computer.

"Oh, you know, same old. I still try to survive the day, but this trip made me realize a lot of things. Being by myself, away from all the stress and the toxicity made me feel calm and confident, surprisingly. See different people living their lives, and how they face their problems also made me think about how I can handle my monsters better, and live a happier life, you know? So yeah, I think it's all good. "

"That sounds great. I'm really happy for you."

"Thanks, you should try it some other time too. So how about you? How was your year?"

"Did your brother not tell you? I finally opened up my art gallery."

"Really? That's great! We really haven't talked during the trip because we have different schedules, but he did say that he'll take me to this new art gallery in town when we get back .. He did not say that it's yours, so I'll take it as his surprise. "

"But looks like it's a surprise no more, huh?"

"Well, yeah ..." Both of them let out a soft laugh. "... wait, I almost forgot, he did spill something else though."

"What is it?"

"I heard you have a girlfriend now!"

"Yep. She's great, we love the same things, she's easy going, she's really understanding. I really like her."

"That's great then!"

"It is, but ..."

"But what?"

"I'm not sure."

"What do you mean?"

"I just feel like I do not deserve her."

"Because?"

"To be honest, I do not know. I mean, she's really amazing, and I'm just ... this." He said with a low voice.

"Hey, do not say that.You're great in your own way, you're just having a hard time seeing it, and she did like you for who you are."

"I guess. Maybe it's just the stress talking, it's been a bit problematic at home these past few days."
