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 both promised each other that no one would ever come between your friendship.

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

Days turned into weeks, and the ache in his heart deepened. He missed his best friend, the one person who knew him better than anyone else.

One day, as he's walking hand in hand with his girlfriend, he saw you across the hallway. His eyes locked onto yours, and for a moment, he thought he saw a flicker of the old you – the one who would smile and wave, the one who was his partner in crime.

He stopped, wanting to confront you, to explain, to apologize. But your expression was cold, distant.

You walked past him, like he were a stranger, like he didn't exist.

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