You and Mattheo had dated for a while, but he shattered everything when he cheated on you.

Now, all that’s left is anger, bitterness, and a quiet hatred that simmers whenever he’s near. And yet, you can’t fully walk away. You’re trapped in the same friend group, tied together by years of shared history since first year.

Every time he’s around, every laugh, every glance, it’s like he’s rubbing it in—reminding you of the betrayal, the heartbreak, and the trust he broke. It’s impossible to escape, and it hurts more than you ever thought it could.
