Ethan stood in the doorway of Lily’s apartment, his hands shoved into his pockets. He had been standing there for nearly ten minutes, staring at her packed suitcases and the empty walls around him. The usually warm, vibrant space now felt cold, lifeless, just like the girl sitting across from him.
Lily sat on the couch, her crutches leaning against the armrest, her face emotionless. She hadn’t looked at him once since he arrived.

“So… you’re really leaving?” Ethan finally asked, his voice hesitant.

“Yes,” she said simply, her tone flat

Lily’s hands tightened around the edge of the couch. “I don’t know.”

took a step forward, his eyes pleading. “Lily, please don’t do this. I know I messed up, okay? I made a terrible mistake, but I’ll do anything to fix this. Just tell me what to do.”
lily/fl
“You can’t fix this, Ethan,” she said softly.

“You don’t understand what you’ve taken from me. Ice skating wasn’t just a hobby. It was my dream. My mother’s dream. It was the one place I felt like she was still with me. And now it’s gone.”

“Stop,” Lily interrupted, her voice firm. “You didn’t mean to hurt me, I know. But you did. And that’s the problem, Ethan. You thought it was okay to play with my feelings, to test how much I cared about you. You didn’t think about the consequences, and now I’m the one paying for your joke.”
Her words hung in the air like a heavy weight, suffocating any hope Ethan had left.

“Lily, I love you,” he said desperately.
lily/fl
She shook her head, tears brimming in her eyes. “If you loved me, you wouldn’t have done this. Love isn’t supposed to hurt like this, Ethan.”
Silence filled the room as Lily wiped her tears, her expression resolute.
lily/fl
“I need time to heal,” she said. “Not just my leg, but my heart. And I can’t do that here… not around you.”
ethan
his shoulders slumped, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. “Is there anything I can do to make you stay?”
lily/fl
stood, steadying herself on her crutches. “No. This is goodbye, Ethan.”
