💌 WATTPAD: The Voice Note You Never Sent

Chapter 1 - The Notification

It started with a single notification - "Storage almost full."
Nothing dramatic, nothing poetic. Just my phone reminding me that even digital memories take up space.

So I started deleting things
Old screenshots. Random playlists. Photos of sunsets I swore I'd paint someday.
And then I found it - the voice note.

It was saved under a random file name: vn_2024-03-17-2301.
The night everything changed.

At first, I didn't even remember recording it. But when I pressed play, my voice filled the room - trembling, raw, too honest.

"Hey... I don't even know if you'll ever hear this. I just- I couldn't say it out loud. Not then."

I froze.
My heart felt like it was trying to escape through my ribs.

The sound of my own voice made me flinch - that version of me still believed things could be fixed. She didn't know that silence could be louder than words.

"You said you needed space. So I gave you galaxies."

A small, broken laugh escaped through the speaker.
God, I used to joke even when I was falling apart.

"I thought maybe if I stayed quiet long enough, you'd come back. But you didn't. So this is me... saying goodbye, I guess."

Except I never said goodbye. Not really.
Because I never sent it.

And now, one year later, I was hearing it for the first time - and realizing it wasn't just a message to him.
It was a message to myself.

The one that said: You deserve someone who doesn't make you beg to be heard.
