I was left with this deep sense of emptiness that I couldn't seem to shake. I never thought I'd be one of those guys who would have a hard time getting over an ex, but here I am. It's been a month since Brianna and I broke up, and I still can't seem to shake her from my mind. Every time I saw a reminder of her, whether it be a photo or a song, my chest tightened and my heart ached. I knew I shouldn't let her have this hold on me especially since it was her fault that we weren’t together anymore, but I couldn't help it.

I have always been strong and able to handle anything, so it makes no sense that now of all times, is when I crumble. “Because you lost two years of your life and your marriage without knowing you didn’t have to…. Two years of everything…. because of misunderstandings. I think you’re grieving the loss now you know you made choices that weren’t based on fact. Maybe regret….remorse… what you lost. Who knows? And you haven't dealt with anything related to your family and what happened, the deeper relationships,….all of you sort of glossed over the past because you were all wrapped up in the happiness of getting back together. Of them finding you again. All of you. I think you have so much you

The ache within me seemed to echo through every part of my being, a poignant reminder of what could never be. He wasn’t my lover, but it felt like a breakup. The emotions swirling inside me were a jumbled mix of grief, loss, and yearning. Though we'd never been romantically involved, the connection I'd felt with him had run deep. Now, it seemed like that connection was severed, leaving me feeling bereft and disoriented. The sense of emptiness was palpable, as if I'd lost something precious. I struggled to put into words the depth of my feelings, but the pain was undeniable.

Every second since our breakup comes back to me, every mistake, every broken promise, every cruel or absent word… I looked for her everywhere, I thought that one day she would come back to me, but now, I see that she is far away, out of my reach, protected by a love I cannot undo. — Clara… I… I'm sorry… so sorry, I finally say, my voice trembling despite myself. I never stopped thinking about you, and… I regret everything. Every mistake, every absence… I tried to find you… and seeing you here… it's… My throat tightens, and I can add nothing. My hands tremble, my eyes search for a sign of acceptance, but I understand that nothing I say can erase what I have lost. She is strong, sovereign, and

“So you think the answer is to punish yourself? To punish me? Because that’s what you’re doing. I’ve been standing here waiting for you, Remy. Wishing you’d just… let me in.” He shakes his head, looking down as if he can’t bear my gaze. “You don’t understand. After everything I’ve lost, I swore I’d never let myself be that vulnerable again. Then I broke my own promise and let Callen in, and you know how that turned out… I’m not sure I can get through another heartbreak.” I reach for him without thinking, my fingers brushing his arm. He flinches, not away, but as if my touch burns.

The silence stretched so long it made me tense all over again as he stared at the marble countertop. "What’s wro—" "I want to apologize for not leaving you alone after our breakup." His words, paired with that look, paralyzed me. He continued: "I know I ruined everything. And no matter how many times I say it happened a long time ago, that’s no excuse—not for someone like you." I swallowed hard. "That’s why I lost my mind thinking we shouldn’t have ended like this. I convinced myself you’d take me back. I kept chasing you, but… if you’re moving on, if we’re not getting back together, at least I’d like us to be friends."

"No." "Why?" "Because you're a stranger." "I'm the guy you kissed." "I kissed your helmet. That's not the same as kissing you." "It's closer than most people get on day three of a breakup." "We're not broken up. We were never together. There's no breakup."

Something about it, something that still pulled at him. "I don't want to hurt her anymore," JM finally confessed, his voice hoarse with the burden of his own remorse. "But I don't know how to make it better. I never intended to leave her like that. But then it was too late. And I. I can't take back what I did."

If I go back to him now,he would only act right for a few months or even weeks and then he’s back to treating me as if I mean nothing to him. So right now,I wasn’t moved by all he’s been doing so far. Instead,I was pissed. Why can’t he just accept the break up?! Maxim stood up to his feet and moved closer to me. “Anna, I know I hurt you.I was thoughtless for leaving you alone that night with guests,it was thoughtless of me to cancel our engagement party that night.I am truly remorseful about it and now,you’ve made me realize that I never want to hurt you like that again.Let’s just go back home.I’ll throw another engagement party for us and…”
