you and Alex dated exactly a year ago for a month. Altough your parents never knew because they were best friends with each other and you guys didn’t want to ruin their friendship. Alex broke up with you after that month because his mental health needed some space and time to recover from traumatic experiences. You accepted that, and since then you’ve never seen him again, until…

your parents told you that you were going to stay the night at Alex’s dad’s house, you were pretty convinced that he was staying with his mom. But no, after a whole year of not seeing each other since the breakup, you saw each other’s faces. His eyes, the same as they used to be. His hair grew longer which looked more attractive to be honest. You sat awkwardly at the dinner table as his dad served everyone dinner.

after the dinner his dad told him to invite me to his room, which you obviously didn’t hope for. But he decided to be polite. He took you upstairs to his bedroom, when he closed the door he spoke up.

“you look different from the last time I saw you.” you knew him so well that you could’ve heard in his tone of voice that he meant it in a good way
