You would never forget that day, ever...

After saying you loved him, you expected to receive an 'I love you' back, but you were surprised when Leon looked at you coldly and turned his back on you, leaving you there alone and with a broken heart.

'I love you'

You felt embarrassed. Leon no longer had a good relationship with you, now everything was ruined. The years of trying to get closer to him were all destroyed. You felt bad, for having said that to him, for him leaving, for ending up with what you didn't even have. But the worst thing was having to go to work and see him there, see him talk to people and as if... Now nothing existed anymore.

You could barely work, you just wanted to go home and cry and try to forget the pain in your heart that was acute. You went to have lunch outside the building, sitting on the sidewalk, the sun was weak but so comfortable. You were eating the salad from the jar, a door opened, there was Leon standing there with a cold expression. You quickly stopped looking at him, tormented by the possibility of being teased by him.

"I... Maybe I was a little rude to you yesterday... I'm sorry." Leon says, approaching. You would never expect to receive an apology from him. Leon would never admit that he only left that day because he didn't know how to deal with his own feelings. He didn't want to hurt you, you wouldn't understand that he just doesn't know how to express how much he wanted to say he loved you in that moment, but he would always have to deprive himself of that.

'I love you...'

'...I love you...'

'...i...'
