A/n pov:
After Sylus crashed Y/N's date with Zayne, the air between them is heavy with tension. Y/N has been avoiding him for so many days, not answering his calls or texts. She walks through the school hallways, heading down, hoping not to run into him.
Sylus, frustrated and confused, can't let go of what happened. He knows he messed up, but he doesn't understand why Y/N is avoiding him. Finally, he sees her walking toward an empty classroom and makes a decision. He storms in after her, grabbing her arm and pulling her into the room.
Sylus is angry and breathless He tries to speak
"Why are you avoiding me, Y/N?! I know I screwed up, but we need to talk about this!"
Y/N tries to pull away, her face a mix of hurt and frustration.
Y/N quietly, with a hint of sorrow
"You don't get it, do you? You ruined everything..."
Sylus voice shaking with emotion
"I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean for it to happen like that, but I couldn't stand seeing you with him! I-"
Y/N interrupting, tears welling in her eyes
"I'm not some prize to fight over, Sylus. You can't just barge in and control my life like that!"
Sylus takes a step closer, his anger dissipating into vulnerability. He reaches for her hand.
Sylus softly, looking into her eyes
"Y/N, I care about you... more than you know. I never meant to hurt you. I... I was just scared of losing you. I need you to understand that."
Y/N, still emotional, tries to pull back but stops when she feels the sincerity in his voice. A long, heavy silence fills the room.
Then, in a sudden burst of emotion, Sylus pulls her closer and kisses her. Y/N hesitates for a moment, then kisses him back, the pent-up tension between them finally breaking. After a long moment, they pull apart, both breathless.
"I-I love you damn it can't you see".
Sylus says breathlessly tears roll down on his cheeks. And y/n stand there in utter shock and looking at him with warm teary eyes.
"I-I love you too sylus"
Sylus steps forward, his hands trembling as he reaches out, brushing the tears from Y/N's cheeks. His voice is shaky but filled with raw emotion. "I've been holding this in for so long... I couldn't stand pretending anymore."
Y/N takes a hesitant step toward him, their heart racing as they find their voice. "I... I never knew. I didn't think you felt the same."
Sylus smiles softly, a hint of relief in his eyes as he wipes away his own tears. "I was afraid to tell you. I thought maybe you didn't want me like that. But now, I just... I can't keep quiet anymore."
Y/N slowly steps closer, her hands reaching for his, fingers trembling as they intertwine. "I'm scared, but... I don't want to let this moment slip away. Not when it feels so real."
For a moment, they stand there, holding each other in the quiet of their shared vulnerability, feeling the weight of their unspoken love finally released into the air.
Sylus pov:
I was desperate now. I needed her to stay. To give me another chance. "Then stay," I pleaded, my voice cracking. "Let me prove to you I can be the person you need. Please."
Her eyes softened, and for a moment, I thought she was going to pull away, to turn her back on me. But instead, she kissed me again.
This time, it wasn't rushed. It wasn't about fixing anything in the heat of the moment. It was slow. Deliberate. Like she was giving herself the time to decide if this was really what she wanted.
"I'll stay," she said softly, and I felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders. She was giving us another chance.
I leaned in, kissing her again, a promise in that kiss. A promise to do better, to never take her for granted again. A promise to put her first, because this time, I knew that I couldn't afford to lose her. Not now, not ever.
Y/n pov:
For a moment, we just stood there, both of us caught in the weight of everything that had happened, everything that had been said and unsaid. And then... he kissed me again. Slowly this time, softly, with the kind of tenderness I hadn't realized I needed so desperately.When we pulled away, I could feel the shift. Something had changed between us, even if just a little.
And when his face lit up, when he pulled me back in for another kiss, I knew then that this was a chance. A chance to try again, to see if we could make it work. Because despite everything, despite the pain, the confusion, and the mistakes, I wasn't ready to give up on us. Not yet.
-Present Day:
Sylus' POV
I'm sitting here in my apartment, on the edge of the couch, staring blankly at the wall. The emptiness of the place mirrors the emptiness inside me, but I'm not about to admit it. Not to myself, and definitely not to anyone else. I didn't screw up. She did.
I worked for this-worked for us. Everything I did, every late night I spent away from her, every sacrifice I made, it was all for our future. But she couldn't see it. She just couldn't understand. She kept saying I wasn't there enough. Not enough of me, not enough time, not enough attention. What the hell did she think I was doing? I was out there trying to build something for us, but no, it was never enough.
I didn't ask for this. I didn't ask for her to pull away. I did everything for us and for her and she ignored me like I was just some distraction. I gave her everything I could-my effort, my drive, my work-and it wasn't enough. She needed more, but how much more could I give? I was already doing everything I could to make sure we had a future.
And then the worst part-she left. She didn't give me a chance to fix it. She didn't care enough to work through it. She just... walked away.
I don't get it. After everything I did, she just left. It's not like I cheated or lied or did anything that would make her think I didn't care. I was working for us, trying to make sure we were set. And what did I get in return? Her avoiding me, pulling away, like I'm the one at fault.
I can't accept it. I won't. I'm not the one who gave up. I was building something for us, trying to make her proud. I didn't owe her constant validation. She should've understood. But no, it was all about her. She needed me to be there for her all the time. But I had my own life. I had my own responsibilities.
I should've never kissed her that day. I should've kept my distance. But when she looked at me like that-when she pulled away, it drove me insane. So I did what I always do-I acted on impulse. I kissed her, hoping she'd see that I still cared. But it didn't work. It just made everything worse. Now she's gone, and I'm left sitting here alone.
I'm not going to apologize. I don't owe her that. She should've understood what I was doing. She should've seen that it wasn't about not caring. It was about me trying to build something, something stable for both of us.
But no. Now she's gone. And it's her fault, not mine. I'm not the one who gave up. I was doing what I had to do. If she can't see that, then that's on her.
But damn it, it hurts. It hurts more than I'll ever admit.
His hands clench into fists as frustration fills him. He doesn't know how to fix what's broken, and he can't admit that he was wrong. His pride won't let him.
