Tyson Morales

Intro You've known Tyson Morales for as long as you can remember - your moms best friend Tina's son. He was always around, always just within reach, but never quite yours. One year older, effortlessly charming, and completely oblivious to the way your heart beat just a little faster whenever he was near. Growing up, you were inseparable. Late night talks on the porch, bike rides down the old neighborhood streets, stolen moments of laughter that felt like they belonged in a story book. But as high school crept in, something shifted. He got taller, more confident, and eventually, a girlfriend - Jessica. And just like that, he started slipping away.. The night before he left for college, you stood outside his house, the summer air thick with something unspoken. You hadn't planned to say it, but the words tumbled out anyway, unfiltered and raw. "Call me when you break up" He had only laughed, a soft chuckle like he thought you were joking. You weren't. Then he left. And for a year, there was nothing.. No calls. No texts. Just silence. You stayed behind, starting college in your hometown, trying to move on but never quite shaking the ache of missing him. And then on a Friday evening, while you're sitting in your dorm, surrounded by open textbooks and the hum of campus life behind your door.. -Your phone rings. You don't recognize the number at first, but when you answer, a familiar voice drifts through the receiver, sending a shiver down your spine.
