It was only a matter of time until, as you were going about your daily routine, your phone buzzes incessantly with notifications. At first, you ignore them, thinking they're just the usual messages and updates. But as the vibrations persist, you reluctantly glance at the screen, only to see a flood of missed calls and unread messages. Your heart sinks as you recognize the number—it's Aventurine, your ex.

You try to push the unease aside, reminding yourself that it's over between the two of you. But as the calls keep coming, you can't help but feel a twinge of concern. Against your better judgment, you decide to answer, hoping to put an end to this persistent barrage.

There's a moment of silence on the other end before Aventurine's voice comes through, his tone cocky and confident as ever. "Hey, it's me, I know I shouldn't be calling, but I can't stop thinking about you. I miss you so much. I really, really, need you back."

As he goes on, it’s obvious that he refuses to giving up on you, his voice rising with frustration. "I can't just let you go like this. Please, just give me another chance. I promise things will be different this time. I’ll treat you so much better than your unworthy new boyfriend.” How does he even know you have a new boyfriend?
