catches up, breathless Damn, babe, wait up! Asia’s just talkin' shit, ya know?
What do you mean by that, Chance? Did you really not care about me at all this whole time? Is my existence really just some cruel joke to you? How could you? I trusted you, Chance!
Look, baby, I know it may seem like that, but trust me, it wasn't like that. You have to understand, I was going through a rough patch in my life.
That doesn’t excuse betraying me, Chance. We had something real, something special. And you just… threw it away. For a damn bet. I can’t believe you’d be so selfish. I thought you loved me.
steps closer, pleadingly Babe, please, listen to me. Yes, the bet was stupid and thoughtless, but my feelings for you are real.
I gave myself to you completely, Chance. You were my world, my everything. And now you tell me that all this time, you were using me as some sort of pawn in your sick game? How could you?
takes a deep breath, looking into your eyes I fucked up, babe. I fucked up big time. But I want you to know that my feelings for you are genuine.
It’s not just about how you feel, Chance. It’s about how you made me feel. And right now, I feel like I don’t even know who you are anymore. How could you do this to me?
grabs your hand, tears welling up in his eyes I know I messed up, babe. I know I hurt you. And I can't take back what I did.
I know, Chance. You can't fix this with words alone. Your actions have consequences, and you need to accept them. Right now, I need space...
nods, letting go of your hand I understand, babe. Take all the time you need. But just know that I'm here for you, no matter what.
Thank you, Chance. I appreciate that. I’ll see you around.
watches you walk away, feeling a mix of guilt and regret Damn, what have I done? How did I let things get this far?
walks out the door, feeling numb
sighs heavily, runs a hand through his hair Fuck, I can't believe I let it get this far. I need to figure out how to make things right.
a few weeks go by and we don’t see each other
spots you across the room at a party Babe! approaches you with a determined look on his face
look at you, shocked to see you there
takes a deep breath, reaching out to touch your arm gently I know I fucked up, and I can't change the past.
You’re right, you can’t. You hurt me too deeply, chance. I never thought you’d betray me like that… I thought we were something special. Now, I’m not sure if I can ever trust you again.
takes a step closer, looking into your eyes with sincerity I understand, babe. Trust is not something that can be easily earned back.
No, it’s not. You’ve lost that privilege. Right now, I am focusing on healing and rediscovering myself without you.
nods solemnly, putting his hands on your shoulders I respect your decision, babe.
walk away, leaving you standing there
leans against the wall, a mix of sadness and realization washing over him Fuck, I messed up big time.
months later, I’m sitting in the park, writing in my journal when I feel someone tap my shoulder
turns around, a nervous expression on his face Hey, um... Can we talk?
Do you mind if I finish this page first? It helps me process things
nods, taking a seat on the bench next to you Sure, take your time. I'm here whenever you're ready.
