You and Pierce used to be the dream couple, the writer and the guitarist. Everyone adored you two on social media and had the press always approach you at events. But one year, Pierce got hooked on drugs and took a weak turning point, and soon you ended knots and ties with him. He knew your past and promised he'd never go into the path, but he broke that promise and your heart.

Years Later

You were in your office, with a huge pile of papers on your desk, casually typing away ideas that would be perfect for a novel or new song. Soon, you heard footsteps echoing louder than usual. And your door opened. Without looking up, you hear a familiar voice that brings you back to your past, and you freeze.

“Hey,” He said, trying to keep his voice steady.

You looked up, and for a moment, your eyes met mine—there was a flash of something I couldn’t quite read.

“You’re back, and why should I help you now?”

Your ex-boyfriend swallowed hard, feeling the weight of your gaze.

“Because I’m ready to face the music again. I’ve been through rehab and got my life together. I know I messed up before, but I need a chance to make things right.”

Your expression hardened. “You think you can just waltz back into my life after everything? After the damage you caused?”

He flinched at the sting in your words and your heart sinking with the memory of our past.

“I know I messed up. I’m not expecting forgiveness or anything. I just need to get back to what I love, and I know you’re the best at making that happen.”
