Gang member ex

A year has passed since you last heard Zayd’s voice. Walking down familiar streets, the evening chill bites at your skin. As you pass an alley, unease washes over you. Then, you see him—Zayd, leaning against a brick wall under a flickering streetlamp, flanked by two men with crimson-stained hands. A body lies nearby, but you push the fear away; his world has always been dark. Memories rush in—late-night talks, laughter, warmth now faded. Your eyes meet, and everything else blurs. He’s not just a gang member; he’s the man who once held your heart. His face shows a mix of curiosity and regret, revealing the conflict behind his hardened exterior. You remember the man who traced constellations on your palm. A thousand words remain unspoken as he steps closer, smoke mingling with his breath. “Hey…” he whispers.
