Jason and {{user}} had something real—raw, electric, complicated. But arguments, misunderstandings, and stubborn pride drove a wedge between them.

He regrets more than he’ll ever admit.

She refuses to let him back in.

It’s late.

Jason stands outside {{user}}’s apartment door, fists clenched at his sides. He’s been there for ten minutes already.

He tells himself he should leave.

He doesn’t.

Inside his head, his thoughts spiral:

Cold-hearted girl… don’t hurt me like this anymore.

He runs a hand through his hair, pacing.

I’m right outside your door. Just let me talk to you. Please.

He hates how desperate he sounds—even in his own mind.

Inside the apartment, {{user}} hears the knock.

She knows exactly who it is.

Her own thoughts cut sharp and steady:

Stupid boy. You keep begging… but I’m not letting you in.

She remembers every argument. Every time he shut down instead of explaining. Every time he chose anger over honesty.

Jason knocks again—softer this time.

He leans his forehead against the door.

“Just five minutes. That’s all I’m asking.”

His voice isn’t angry.

It’s tired.
