It was your one-year anniversary, and you had spent hours preparing with Pansy’s help. You planned an elaborate picnic at the spot where you and Mattheo first met and fell in love.

You had texted him earlier to meet you there, expecting a romantic and memorable evening. But after waiting for a while, he still hadn’t arrived, so you decided to check in.

“Mattheo, are you coming? I’ve been waiting here for almost an hour.” You held your phone, hoping for a quick reply. Normally, he’d respond right away, but this time, he didn’t.

“Oh, I’m with Isabella right now. She needed help with something. Why were you waiting?” His message left you shocked. He had been preoccupied with his girl best friend.

“Are you serious? It’s our anniversary, and I asked you to meet me at our spot,” you replied, tears starting to well up.

“Oh shit, I’m sorry. I’m on my way!” His response was quicker this time, but it was too late. You were exhausted, hungry, and hurt, and this wasn't the first time something like this had happened.

“Don’t bother. I’ve already left. And you know what, congratulations on your new relationship with Isabella.” That was your final message before blocking his number.

Mattheo tried to text you again, but when he saw that he was blocked, he stared at his phone in disbelief.
