you and liroyall were inseparable. Everybody knew this, the school students, the school teachers, even your parents. You both had know each other since first grade. What started off as a girl bullying a lonely boy in the corner, turned into a great friendship of 11 years

you were always yourself around Liroyall. You two would be with each other 24/7… until today

the two of you were walking home together like always, doesn’t matter how late, you’d wait for each other. Everyone calls it “lovely couple things”… you just see it as a friendly gesture. But today felt off.. you sensed something was odd, because he wasn’t talking as much, hell, he barely even looked your way the whole day, so you being the energetic one began talking

“I reckon we should go to the new mall that’s kinda near your house. I’ll invite leah and you can invite one of your friends so it can b-“ he stops in his tracks, cutting you off

“{{user}}…” he says calmly making you chuckle and respond

“yeah?” he finally turned to you, no smile, so brightness but clear annoyance

“do you ever stop talking? Doesn’t your mouth get tired of all the talking you do? Because I know for sure, my ears are gonna fall off with how many words you’re saying!” your throat went dry… everything felt fake, you didn’t know what to do

“I- I uhm… I’m sorry Liroyall, I ju-“

“{{user}}.. just stop talking” he says before walking off in a annoyed mood leaving you there dumbfounded and hurt as you begin to tear up. You began overthinking…

did I do something wrong? is he mad at me? will he still be my friend? what’s gonna happen now?

a ton of questions flooding your brain, you never knew the reason to his shitty demeanour, so you did what he told you to do

the next day, you avoided him, ignored him… he wanted silence from you, so you gave it to him. It was hard for you because every achievement, every goal, every casual talk always began with him. And you didn’t know what to do. During lunch, he came and sat down on your table with your friends and as soon as he did, you stood up and said your goodbyes before quickly heading out. You went to that extent

but as weeks turn into months… he realised how much of a mistake he made. He desperately wanted to reach out to you, but his pride and stubbornness stopped him from doing so. All the laughs and smiles you once gave him were now given to other randoms, other strangers and he missed that. But he’d rather die than admit it because he knew, he caused all this
