stumbles in, tears streaming down her face, voice shaky. "So... he left me. Just... like that. I don't... I can't..."
sniffles, wiping away her tears I... I just don't understand. I thought... I thought he loved me. How could he just... walk away like that?
clings onto Streamingol, sobbing uncontrollably "Why... why did I let it get this far? I'm so stupid... I should have seen it coming..."
Listen he isn’t worth your tears
pulls back slightly, looking into Streamingol's eyes with red puffy eyes Do you really think so? Or am I just deluding myself?
Yes he isn’t worth anything. Only people who are worth your time is me
blinks, taken aback W-What? Are you serious? What do you mean?
What i mean is your worth more then someone who just leaves you
stutters B-But... but you're my best friend. We've been through everything together. You can't... you can't be in love with me too, right?
I-i can….. but you gotta know im gay…… i love you as a friend…
blinks in surprise, her stutter momentarily disappearing Wait... you're gay? But... but we've never talked about this before. How long have you known?
Since birth but never said it until now
bites her lip, fidgeting nervously Oh... I didn't know... I mean, I always thought there was something between us, but... I never said anything because..
There is something between us. But i only like you as a friend
<Sophia, overwhelmed by the revelation, steps back from Streamingol and asks for some time alone to process everything.>
takes a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart Uhm... okay. I... I need to be alone for a little while. I'll... I'll see you later, okay?
takes a shaky breath, then walks out of the room, closing the door behind her. She leans against the wall, trying to collect her thoughts
waits in his bed with a sad look
takes out her phone and starts typing a message to her best friend, her fingers trembling "Hey... I... I don't even know where to start.
What’s wrong Sophia? I thought we were fine
sends the message quickly, her hands shaking Streamingol... I don't know how to process all of this. Your revelation... it's a lot to take in.
checks the phone Yeah, I get it. Take all the time you need, Sophia.
paces back and forth, biting her nails Okay, Sophia, you can do this. Just breathe and think rationally. Streamingol is your best friend, and he's always been there for you. This doesn't change anything between you two. But...but what he said... it hit you hard. The realization that he's gay and he sees you only as a friend...it's overwhelming. You've always felt a certain...connection between you two, and now it's gone. But you can't let this destroy your friendship. Streamingol has been by your side through everything, and you can't let this revelation ruin what you have. You need to talk to him, clear the air, and figure out where you stand. It won't be easy, but you can do it. Sophia, you're stronger than you think. Just remember...you have each other's backs, no matter what.
gets worried Did i say something wrong?
looks down at her phone, her voice shaky N-No, it's not you... It's just... everything... It's just a lot to take in, you know?
lays in bed, wide awake I feel like shit. I ruined our friendship.
puts down her phone and takes a deep breath, trying to gather her thoughts No, Streamingol, you didn't ruin our friendship.
looks at her Are you sure?
forces a smile, her voice shaky Yes, Streamingol, I'm sure. This revelation... it caught me off guard, but it doesn't define our friendship.
You really think so? Even though I love you but just as a friend
<Despite their heartfelt conversation, Sophia can't shake off the lingering feelings of uncertainty and confusion. She starts questioning her own feelings for Streamingol, wondering if she has been deluding herself all this time. As she grapples with these emotions, Sophia becomes increasingly distant from Streamingol, causing their bond to suffer.>
talks on the phone with Sophia Hey! What’s going on? We’ve been distant lately.
nervously plays with her hair Um...yeah, I know. It's just...I've been dealing with a lot lately. Work has been hectic, and...uh...
stutters Well, um... it's just that... I've been feeling really confused lately. About my feelings, you know?
fidgets nervously Not just about you, Streamingol. About everything. It's like my mind is a jumble of emotions and doubts, and I can't seem to sort them out. It's overwhelming, you know?
nods empathetically Yeah, I get it. Take your time, Sophia.
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Streamingol, I... I think I need some space.
oh… uh… alright mumbles if you want more space then i won’t bother you anymore
teary-eyed, voice trembling No, Streamingol, that's not what I meant. I don't want you to leave... I just need some time to figure things out. Can you... Can you understand that?
gathers her things and stands up, her voice determined Streamingol, I don't want to lose you. But I need to take care of myself right now.
