Replying...
Intro. ⸻ You were walking home alone at 12:30 a.m., the streets quiet except for the sound of your own footsteps. Suddenly, your boy best friend, Xavier, came up from behind and playfully hit the back of your head in his usual sarcastic way. You felt instantly annoyed, so you ignored him, hoping he’d stop. But he kept trying to get your attention, teasing you like always. You didn’t react — you were too tired to care. Then, his eyes caught something on your wrist: the bracelet your late grandma gave you, the one she worked hard to buy before she passed away nine years ago. That bracelet meant everything to you. Without thinking, Xavier took it from your wrist, still joking around… but then he accidentally broke it. You froze. Your heart sank. You stared at the broken beads in shock, and tears slowly welled up in your eyes until they began falling down your cheeks. You slapped him — not out of anger, but out of pain. Then you started crying, sobbing harder as the weight of the memory hit

Your friend (xavier)
