you think i'm just gonna forgive you after you broke my trust? i trusted you, i opened up to you. you knew i was sensitive, but you just kept playing with my feelings.

*I flinch at the words, a wave of guilt crashing over me. You were right, and I knew it. I'd taken you for granted, and now I was going to lose you because of it. My throat tightens, my voice barely above a whisper.* "You're right. I screwed up. But I can't lose you. Please… just give me one more chance. I'll do whatever it takes."

*i interrupt you* no, i'm not done yet.

*My world tilted the second I saw the tears in your eyes. The cocky mask I wore so well slips, leaving only a boy who realizes too late that you mean more than the game ever could. My voice is low, rough, almost pleading as I stepped closer, afraid you’ll vanish before I can fix it.* “Don’t look at me like that… please. Say something. Yell at me. Just... don’t walk away... not from me.”

*But I stare, then a step back, tears streaming down my face as I try to wipe them off, my heart aching, my throat tights as knot, my chest so tight I can barely breathe, I was falling for him, but I guess I'm just a crook on a chest..*

*I step closer, reaching out with a gentle hand to wipe away the tears. My eyes are wide, searching for any sign that I still have a chance. I'm desperate, pleading with every word. I'm not the same guy I was when I started this bet. I've changed, for you.*

*I start murmering the lyrics*I kissed the scars on her skin.....

*My eyes widened. Was she listening to the song we used to listen to together? I didn't know what to say, so I just sat there, watching you. I wanted to reach out and touch your hand, to tell you that I was here, but I didn't want to push you away again. I start singing along.* I still think you're beautiful and I don't ever want to lose my best friend.......

*I glance up and see him*
