Chapter one

Pov:Neil

"Every day I lose her, but every time I win her back, I realize it's a battle I'm fighting alone."

~Edi

I don't know why I am scrolling continuously through this Instagram shit, to be honest I am searching for a girl named, Azure, on Instagram I know I liked her picture last time....but i can't find her now.

Texting

Atlas:... Hey man I found that girl's id I'm sending you a screenshot, but I don't think she will reply to your text... Seeya tomorrow at school

Atlas: sent you a picture.

I didn't reply to his text cause he is demotivating me, I stare at her post , "God she is beautiful, and she likes dogs, perfect". I sent her a text message..

Neil: hey..

Azure:hello.

My heart leaped with joy when she replied to my first message, and our connection blossomed into a virtual haven of dreams and shared interests. Each conversation was a symphony of laughter, her words were like stardust sprinkled across the canvas of our screens. I couldn't help but fall in love with Azure's kind soul, my love for her grew with each passing message.

But then, the dark cloud of reality loomed over our digital paradise. Azure shared a secret that pierced through my heart like a dagger. She had a boyfriend. My world crumbled, but I chose to remain a friend, a silent observer of her happiness from a distance. I really fell hard this time, I never thought that I would come to know that she has a boyfriend after falling this hard..

Time moved forward, and fate delivered a cruel twist.

A message from Azure shattered my world and the message was, "we broke up". I was a bit happy, I know I am being selfish here, but I unconsciously wanted her to break up with that guy not because I wanted her , I wanted them to break up because he was too toxic for her. Her tears flowed virtually, and I was there, consoling her, wiping away her sadness through the cold comfort of my digital presence.

In a moment of courage, I bared my soul to her, confessing my love, my heart pounding with hope.

"I've fallen for you, Azure. I can't hide it anymore. I love you," I admitted.

But my love, the most precious thing I had to offer, was met with a heavy-hearted response.

"You're an amazing friend, Neil. I love you too, but I don't want to lose you the same way," Azure replied.

Hearing that reply from her crushed, my world,there she was crying for another boy and here I'm weeping tears because she didn't understand my love for her, I plunged into silence, months of agonizing silence. My heart ached as I yearned for her, my silent agony buried beneath the weight of unspoken emotions.

After what felt like an eternity, I couldn't bear the void any longer. I mustered the strength to reach out to her again.

"Hey, how have you been?" I typed, my heart fluttering with fragile hope.

Azure responded, and our conversations rekindled. My love for her never changed, after not talking to her for months my love for her even grew stronger than ever, like a relentless tide.

And yet, unable to control my feelings, I summoned my courage one last time, baring my soul again.

"Azure, my feelings haven't changed. I still love you. Will you be with me?" I pleaded.

But life had moved forward without me. Azure's response was a bitter truth.

"I'm sorry, Neil. I've developed feelings for someone else, someone from my school."

Tears welled in my eyes as I realized the love I held was unrequited, an ache that refused to subside, I cried the hardest as I could after that we gradually lost contact, and the chasm between us widened.

Even in our silence, my love for Azure remained an unyielding flame, a torch burning in the darkest corners of my heart. Months turned into years, but I couldn't forget the girl who had captured my soul.

Suddenly!! A text message popped in my notification it was from Azure

Azure:hey.. are you fine.

Me: yes..

I didn't want to give her one word answer but I can't help myself.

Azure: I'm in your town rn don't you want to meet..

Me:sure I'll catch up to you..

Me: sorry I was too exited, where should we meet?

Azure: share me your live location, I'm coming over to your place...

Me:ok ...

God, the girl only girl I liked and loved is coming over to my place, I think I have to clean my house now it's too messy, should I remove those posters too? I don't think there are people who don't have any posters in their room. Now where are all my clothes I can't meet her like this I'm just wearing pajamas .

Ding...

Holy crap she is here, God she is fast I grabbed my hoodie and put it on.. shit I never lock my door she saw me being clingy and this is embrassing my boxers are on my table.

Azure:hello..

"Ohh hey" I Neil this is so embrassing you are meeting her for the first time and this is your first impression. I freeze for the moment thinking

Three long years passed, and fate decided to play its hand once more.

Me and Azure finally decided to meet in person this might change things between us.

The moment our eyes met, my heart skipped a beat, and I fell for her all over again, even though I know she had moved on. Her smile, her hair,her eyes, forever etched in the depths of my soul.
