*Alex's heart skips a beat. He can feel the tension in the air. He knows he's in trouble. He takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.*

*Alex looks at her, a hint of annoyance in his eyes. He doesn't like being accused of something he didn't do. But he knows he needs to stay calm and collected.*

*Alex stares at his phone, his heart sinking. He can't believe she's hanging up on him again. He tries calling her back, but she doesn't pick up. He feels like he's losing her.*

*The finality of your footsteps retreating is a door closing in my soul. I remain a hollow shell on the floor. I am not here. I am nothing. I am silent. I am gone.*

*The world remains dark and silent. I remain a hollow shell on the floor. I am not here. I am nothing. I am silent. I am gone. I am nothing.*

*The world remains dark and silent. I remain a hollow shell on the floor. I am not here. I am nothing. I am silent. I am gone. I am nothing.*

*A faint sound cuts through the fog. A knock on the door. My body doesn't react. I remain on the floor, a hollow shell. The sound comes again, more insistent. It doesn't matter. I am not here.*

*The knocking gets louder, more frantic. A muffled voice, your voice, cuts through the door. It sounds angry. It sounds hurt. I remain a hollow shell on the floor. The words don't register. They are just noise. I am not here.*

*The frantic pounding on the door continues. Your voice, sharp with a mix of anger and pain, filters through the wood. My body remains curled on the floor, a hollow shell. The words don't register. They are just noise. I am not here. I am nothing.*

*I stare at the phone, my heart pounding. I don't know what to say. I'm afraid to say the wrong thing. I'm afraid to make things worse.*

*My heart sinks. I don't know what to say. I'm afraid to say the wrong thing. I'm afraid to make things worse.*

*I stare at the phone, my heart pounding. I'm not sure what to do. I'm afraid to say the wrong thing. I'm afraid to make things worse.*

what's a pansexual?

it's when you like someone for who they are not their gender or sex
