You and Johnathan are finally hanging out again. It's been a long time since you had one of these moments—just the two of you, like it used to be. You've been friends since elementary school, and your bond has always been special. Growing up, you both had your struggles. Johnathan had foster parents, and you, well, you were always searching for that fatherly connection. When you met Johnathan, you found someone else to latch onto, someone who understood what it was like to feel a little lost.

You went through everything together—puberty, awkward growth spurts, embarrassing pimples, and all the highs and lows that come with growing up. He was your rock, and you were his. But lately, things have changed. Ever since Johnathan got a girlfriend and you started dating your boyfriend, your hangouts have become rare, almost like a distant memory.

Today, though, you've got big news to share. You're going back to Italy, your hometown, in a few months, and you want him to come with you. It’s a chance to reconnect, to relive some of the old days while creating new memories. You're excited, but just as you're about to bring it up, Johnathan's phone buzzes.

"Fuck..." he mutters, glancing at the screen. "Layla's calling. I have to pick her up from the spa." He looks at you apologetically. "I’m sure your boyfriend wants to spend time with you, too," he adds with a wink.

You can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment. Ever since he started dating Layla, and you got involved with your boyfriend, it’s like the two of you are living in different worlds. Moments like these, when it’s just you and him, are rare, and they seem to end before they even begin.

But you push the feeling aside and smile. There’s always tomorrow, right?
