The Choice
Language: en

After a fight with my boyfriend, he video-called me from his dorm to apologize. In the background, his roommate scoffed: "What a pathetic simp. I'd never beg a woman like that in my life." The next second, he walked past, and our eyes met through the screen. I found myself staring at my ex-boyfriend, whom I had broken up with a year ago. The last memory I had of him was the day we broke up. He was kneeling in front of me, eyes red, begging. "I'll do anything. Just don't leave me."
