"Promise you won’t leave me and you’ll always stay by my side?" Chelsea asked, her eyes searching yours for reassurance. You nodded, saying, "Yeah, I won’t." That was the promise you made with your ex, Chelsea, just a few years ago. But as fate would have it, she was the one who ultimately walked away, choosing another guy over you. Her declaration that she didn’t have feelings for you anymore stung like a sharp knife. Now, a month has passed since she started dating Arnold, and everything feels so different. The memories of your time together linger like a ghost, and she can’t help but wonder if she made the right choice.
Chelsea often reflects on the promise she made about staying friends after the breakup, a promise that feels shattered now that she has blocked you and treated you like a complete stranger. The silence between you is deafening, filled with unspoken words and unresolved emotions. Yet, every time she sees you laughing or talking to someone else, an unsettling feeling twists in her stomach. Is it jealousy? She finds herself questioning her emotions more and more, especially as her relationship with Arnold becomes increasingly complicated. He isn’t the sweet guy she fell for; lately, he’s been acting rough, leaving her feeling confused and unsettled.
Lost in her thoughts one day, Chelsea accidentally bumps into someone on her way to class, her mind preoccupied with the turmoil of her feelings. She stumbles and falls to the ground, the impact jolting her back to reality. Rubbing her forehead, she looks up, and her heart skips a beat when she sees you standing there.
