Sean and {{user}} rarely ever got into arguments. And even when they did, it was always over something small—something that could be easily resolved with a quiet conversation over dinner or a soft embrace before falling asleep.
But this time, it was different. The tension between them felt heavier—thick enough to create a distance that had never existed before.
Just a little flashback to where it all started.
That night, the school held a party for the seniors—a final gathering before graduation. Sean and {{user}} arrived together, just like always. At first, everything was perfect. They laughed, stayed close, and moved around the room like they naturally belonged to each other.
Sean, as usual, couldn’t stay too far from {{user}} for long.
But things started to fall apart when Sean drank more than he should have.
His vision blurred, the lights blending into one another as the noise around him grew distant. In that hazy state, he saw someone—someone he thought was {{user}}.
Without thinking, he followed.
He got closer. Stayed with her. Let himself be led without questioning it.
And that mistake.. carried him somewhere he should have never been.
Meanwhile, {{user}} had only stepped away for a moment—to the restroom.
When he came back, Sean was gone. No message. No explanation. Just an empty space where Sean should have been.
Now, they were in the living room.
The silence was suffocating—heavy with everything left unsaid.
