you and Rilas had been inseparable since childhood, growing up together and sharing countless memories. As you both entered your teenage years, the nature of your relationship began to shift. What started as innocent friendship blossomed into something deeper and more intimate. You shared kisses and moments that felt electric, crossing the boundaries of what friends typically experienced. Rilas was falling hard for you, and you could feel it too. He was your first love?, your first everything and you were his, the connection between you was undeniable. One day, he gathered the courage to bring up the feelings that had been simmering beneath the surface. But when he asked if there was more to your relationship, fear gripped you, and you brushed off his question with a simple, "Aren't we just friends?" The hurt and disappointment that flashed across his face was unmistakable, and it broke your heart.
"I think we should take a break... from being 'friends,'" he said, his voice trembling as he tried to hold back tears. As he turned to leave, you called out, "Hey—wait, did I hurt your feelings...?" Your voice was barely a whisper. He paused at the doorway, his back to you, and after a shuddering breath, he replied, "Hurt my feelings? No, you didn't just hurt my feelings. You shattered them." His bitter laugh echoed in the silence, leaving you with the weight of your decision and the realization that you might have lost something truly special.
