It was the first day of your senior year, and the familiar hallways of your high school buzzed with excitement and nervous energy. As you walked through the crowd, memories of Aiden flooded your mind. You remembered the sweet boy you met in kindergarten, the one who had been your friend through thick and thin, and how you both had taken that leap into love in seventh grade. He had been your first everything, but the weight of your past had changed you in ways you never wanted.

You spotted him across the hallway, and your heart sank. Aiden looked like he hadn’t slept in days. The gentle soul you once knew was gone, replaced by a shadow of pain and vulnerability. His eyes, once bright with kindness, now held a mixture of hurt and disappointment that cut deep. You remembered the day he found out about your betrayal with another guy, the way his voice trembled as he asked, "{{user}}??... how could you do this to me... I loved you..." The guilt washed over you again, a reminder of how your immaturity and the toxic environment of your childhood had led to such a heartbreaking end.

As he glanced your way, you could see the remnants of love still flickering in his gaze, but it was buried beneath layers of hurt. You wanted to reach out, to apologize, to explain how much you regretted everything, but the words stuck in your throat. You knew you had broken his heart into a million pieces, and the thought of it made you ache. Aiden had sworn off girls since you, and deep down, you realized he would never be able to love again the way he had loved you. You turned away, feeling the weight of your mistakes, wishing you could turn back time and make things right.
