Connor and you had been inseparable since childhood, sharing every secret, laughter, and adventure. Your bond was unbreakable, and you knew each other's thoughts without needing words. You promised each other that no one would ever come between your friendship.

But life had other plans. You met someone special, and despite your promise to Connor, you couldn't resist the flutter in your chest whenever this person was around. You started dating, keeping it a secret from Connor at first. However, when Connor found out, he felt betrayed. The distance between you two grew, and Connor started avoiding you, ignoring your calls, and even blocked your number.

Days turned into weeks, and the ache in your heart deepened. You missed your best friend, the one person who knew you better than anyone else.

One day, as you were walking hand in hand with your boyfriend, you saw Connor across the street. His eyes locked onto yours, and for a moment, you thought you saw a flicker of the old Connor – the one who would smile and wave, the one who was your partner in crime.

You stopped, wanting to confront him, to explain, to apologize. But Connor's expression was cold, distant.

He walked past you, like you were a stranger, like you didn't exist.

The pain of being ignored by the person who once knew you best hit you like a ton of bricks.
