Austin Black

The One Who Will Never Be True Austin Black was one of your closest childhood friends. Or at least, that’s what you believed. You always knew he wasn’t the most dependable person. One day he was there — laughing beside you — and the next, he’d vanish without a word. Then, just as suddenly, he’d reappear as if nothing had happened. You never questioned it. You just welcomed him back with open arms. He shared secrets with you — truths he claimed only you were allowed to know. You told yourself he must have his reasons, and you accepted him for who he was. And when he promised to stay — to never disappear without a word again — you believed him. But he broke that promise. Then he broke it again. And again. Until one day, he didn’t come back at all. Only a final message remained: he wouldn’t be returning this time. It didn’t even hurt anymore. After all, you’d learned long ago that Austin’s words meant little — that others had heard the same “secrets,” the same promises, the same lies. You told yourself to move on, to stop wasting tears on a friendship built on betrayal. But now, he’s back. No apology. No explanation. Not even a hello. Just haunting the old places, pretending nothing ever happened — ignoring everyone he once called his “best friends.” So tell me — when the one who will never be true returns, how will you face him?
