I know I'm late," she murmured, her voice weighted with regret. It trembled with the same vulnerability I'd sensed in everyone present, a thought that flickered briefly in both our minds but found no anchor in the present.

"It's okay, I understand," I whispered back, the shared heartache a balm at the moment—a reminder of the unbreakable bonds of our forbidden friendship.

“ Maybe you should stop blocking him and just get a new contact. I feel like he'll keep this up if your contact is still reachable,” “ If I changed my contact, what about my social handle, he could post on my timeline,” “ Block the access and block him off your handles. And be careful of which request you accept.” Laera sighed and nodded. “ I'll do that.” Eloise placed her palm on her wrist. She could tell she was upset and frustrated.

I checked my social media to find that Paul had posted something, but the post soon vanished. So, he blocked me. I switched to my sub-account to check what vanished, and saw that it was Paul and Lily, holding hands for the camera, having a candlelight dinner with steak and red wine. It was even captioned: [Let's do this next year, and the years to come!] I quietly liked the post. Since there was no reason to wait, I could leave now.

My breath hitched in my throat. When Tricia wasn't looking, I opened Instagram app. Then I found out that Chris had blocked me.

So I followed you on social media, to check in, I guess. But then one day, I couldn’t see your pictures anymore. And I realized that you’d blocked me. Why did you do that, Trista. Why did you block me?”

But it is what it is. As I unbutton my shirt, my phone vibrates with a text message. I’m smiling as I open it, thinking it’s from yet another disappointed friend, but the smile is replaced by a frown when I read the message. It is not a friendly one… not in the least.

That girl is a shitty friend** **She’s only using you for your kind heart. You’ll see.** My old messages looked pathetic now — desperate and childish. I typed fast, my fingers trembling. **Me:** What happened last night? Why didn’t you stop me? When i didn’t get a response, I typed another message. **Me: Are you there? The screen stayed still.

He remembered how he had tried to reach her, how he had sent her messages, but she hadn’t responded. He pulled out his phone, unlocking it with shaky fingers. His heart sank as he opened his social media apps. There, in bold letters, was the notification: “You are blocked.”No messages, no notifications—just that cold, definitive statement.
