Sneak Peek: Nour Chapter 5 (1)
🕑 Added 2022-06-03 13:59:00 +0000 UTC"I refuse to believe that you thought this was smart in any regard. All of this for someone you knew for a few years?"
"Don't!" they chuckle, irritation entering their eyes, "I'm so sick of hearing that."
"Is it not true?"
"You forgot, $name! You did. I didn't have that luxury. I know that none of that was your choice, but it doesn't change the fact that you were able to walk away from this and forget all of it. I lived with that trauma."
"And so you decide to relive it?"
"Fine!" they shout, throwing their hands in the air in frustration, "call me stupid. Call me childish. Call me every insult that you can think of right now. Get it all out. Go ahead. Because you're probably right. Everything I've done up to now has probably been foolish and inconsiderate. But I don't care. That day, I lost my best and only real friend, and it hurt me in ways that I didn't know was possible. I would repeat every stupid thing and every bad decision if it means that it would bring me closer to you."
"Nour, why can't you see that that's bad?"
They shrug, "maybe because I refuse or I'm too stubborn. You want me to apologize, but I can't. Not about that. I will never apologize for wanting to be closer to you."

Oh, Iβve been *waiting* for this conversation. I knew it had to come up eventually (especially with a phoenix who chose to focus on the present over the past) and this little snippet is so satisfying \o/ Iβm especially excited for/curious about about the βAnd so you lie to me?β But I suppose Iβll have to wait and see π
