The rain poured heavily, as if the sky itself was mourning.
I stood alone on the rooftop, my hands termbling, my heart shattered beyond repair. Below me, the city lights flickered like distant stars - beautiful, yet so far away from my reach.
Everything I had... Was gone.
"Why?" I whispered, my voice barely audible against thr storm.
Just a few hours ago, I still believed in love. I trusted them. I gave everything - my time, my dream, my heart.
And what did i get in return?
Betrayal.
I closed my eyes, and their faces flashed before me. The person I loved the most... Standing beside the one who ruined me. Smiling. Laughing. As if I meant nothing.
Tears mixed with the rain on my face.
" I was such as fool... "
My family was gone. My friends had turned their back on me. The person i trusted the most had stabbed me where it hurt the deepest.
I had nothing left.
The wind howled louder, pushing against me, as if urging me to step forward.
Maybe this was the end.
Maybe this pain would finally stop.
I took a step closer to the edge.
And then -
A voice.
" Do you really want to end it like this? "
My eyes snapped open.
Someone was standing behind me.
I turned slowly, my heart pounding.
Through the heavy rain, I could barely see their face.just a shadow... Calm, unmoving.
" who are you? " i asked, my voice shaking.
The figure didn't answer immediately.
Instead, they stepped closer.
"If you could go back", they said quietly, " would you change everything?
Go back?
The words enchoed in my mind.
Was that even possible?
I letbout bitter laugh. " what's the point? Nothing will change. People don't change".
The figure stopped just a few steps away.
" you're wrong ".
For a moment, everything went silent. Even the rainseemed to fade.
" you don't need others to change ", they continued." You just need a second chance.
My heart skipped a beat.
A second chance....
"I give u one", the figure said their voice now clearer, deeper, " will you like without regret? "
Without regret.
The would felt heavy. Powerful.
I clenched my fists.
If i could go back... I wouldn't trust so easily. I wouldn't be weak. I wouldn't let anyone destroy me again.
This time -
"I"ll make them regret", i whispered.
A faint smile appered on the figure's lips.
" Good. "
Suddenly, a blinding light surrounded me.
The rooftop disappeared.
The rain stopped.
Everything went dark.
...
And then -
I woke up.
My eyes shot open as i gasped for air.
No rain.
No rooftop.
No pain.
I was lying on a bed.
My room.
The same room... From years ago.
My heart raced as i sat up, looking around in shock.
The old desk. The
Faded curtains. The small crack on the wall i remembered so clearly.
" This... this is.
My hands trumbled as I grabbed my phone.
The date on the screen made my breath stop.
Three years ago.
I started at it, unable to believe my eyes.
I was back.
Not in memories.
Not in dreams.
But truly back.
The slow smile spread across my face, my eyes darkening wirh determination.
" This time... " I whispered.
" I won't lose. "
And I won't regret.
