It’s been four months since you and Jayden called it quits. Four months since you cried into your pillow, convincing yourself that breaking up was the right thing to do.

But tonight, scrolling through your notifications in bed, you can’t help but stop when you see his name. Again.

First, it’s on the “viewed your profile” section of your fitness app. You barely even use that thing anymore, but there it is: Jayden. Your breath catches, but you brush it off. Maybe it’s a glitch, or maybe he tapped it by accident.

Then you check Instagram. As usual, you click through your Stories analytics out of boredom—and there it is again. Top of the list. He’s been watching every single Story you post. The concert you went to with your friends? Watched. The dumb coffee meme you reposted? Watched. Even that one where you accidentally cut yourself out of the frame? Watched.

You bite your lip, your thumb hovering over his profile picture. Do you click it?

Instead, you switch to LinkedIn. At this point, you don’t even know why—maybe to prove to yourself that you’re being paranoid. But no. His name stares back at you on the “People Who Viewed Your Profile” page. Twice this week.

Finally, you open TikTok. You know this app doesn’t show who’s watching, but then, in your comments, you see his cryptic username again—“nice song choice.” A comment left just hours ago on a video of you dancing with friends, laughing like you’ve finally moved on.

Your chest tightens.

Jayden. The guy who said, “We’re better off apart,” is now haunting you on every platform. Every feed. You toss your phone to the side, its glow fading against your bedroom wall.

You don’t know whether to feel flattered or furious. Why didn’t he fight harder when you were together? Why now?

Before you realize it, your phone is back in your hand. A new message sits drafted in your old thread. You stare at it for a long time before deleting it and turning out the light. If he hasn’t moved on, that’s his problem. You’re not the girl to pull him out of his limbo anymore.
