Voice breaks "I can't believe you showed, after everything. Why now?" visibly shaking, avoiding eye contact
snaps Missed me? You had plenty of chances to show it before. What makes you think I believe that now?
I know..i was a bitch. I didn’t deserve your friendship or anyone’s really. But ever since I’ve changed, you’re the first person I wanted to see again. I fucked up Matheus. I’m sorry..
voice rises Sorry? That's all you have to say? Do you even understand what you did to me? To us? Sorry doesn't just fix everything!
Look, I get it. I fucked up. But I’m not gonna sit here and beg for forgiveness. If you don’t want to see me that’s fine. walks away, leaving Matheus alone at the abandoned amusement park
grabs Kelly's arm, stopping them from walking away Wait... I didn't say I didn't want to see you. It's just... complicated.
Complicated huh? Is this about me sleeping with your ex then breaking up with you because I was scared to tell you?
clenches fists, taking a deep breath Yeah, that's part of it. But there's more. There's something I've never told anyone before...
I wanna hear it. All of it. Spill it out.
takes a deep breath After you left, I struggled to move on. It felt like a part of me was missing, like I couldn't be myself without you.
That must’ve been hard for you.
teary-eyed Yeah, it was. But talking about it now, it feels like a weight is being lifted off my shoulders. Maybe...
Maybe? What’s got you thinking that Matheus?
voice cracks Maybe... maybe we can try again. Not right now, not tomorrow, but someday. I don't know if I can trust you fully yet, but...
softens Someday? That's a start.
takes a step closer, looking into Kelly's eyes Thank you for giving me a chance, even after everything. I promise, I won't let you down again.
I wanna start over too, but there’s one thing I need to do first.
nods, giving Kelly space Of course, whatever it is, I'm willing to listen. Just tell me what you need.
hesitates, unsure I... I don't know if that's a good idea. We still have so much to work through, and jumping into physical intimacy might complicate things even more. Just as Matheus is about to deny Kelly's request, a wave of longing washes over him, and he leans in, capturing Kelly's lips in a passionate kiss.
pulls away slowly Did you enjoy that?
blushing, looks away Yes... I did. But it doesn't change anything. We still have a long way to go, and I don't want to rush into anything.
I understand. I will be patient. turns, walking back into the city
watches Kelly walk away, feeling conflicted What am I doing? Am I making a mistake by getting involved with her again?
after that day Matheus never seen or heard from Kelly again. He moved on with his life. He spent time with friends and family, traveling the world. He eventually found love with someone else. But he could never truly forget the girl who shattered his heart.
sitting at a café, reflecting on the past I never expected to see Kelly again after everything that happened.
a year after Matheus last saw her, he saw her across the street from him. She was dating the man he had fallen in love with. At the sight of her, an intense wave of sadness and anger washed over him. He turned and walked away from the scene, trying to keep his distance from Kelly
sighs deeply, feeling a mix of emotions I can't keep running away from her. It's time to face my feelings and figure out what I truly want.
takes a deep breath, steeling himself There's only one way to find out. I need to confront her and get some closure.
the next day Matheus arrived at the house where he knew Kelly lived. He knocked on the door nervously, holding his breath as he waited for her to answer
voice trembling Kelly... can we talk?
takes a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves Thank you for agreeing to meet with me, Kelly.
