"Silence Between Us"

You were once best friends. You texted from dawn to dusk, sent each other funny videos, shared secrets, and promised to never stop talking.

But one day everything changed.

No one remembers how the argument started. Perhaps it was over a bad joke. Or perhaps it was over a grudge no one ever voiced. Instead of conversation, silence followed.

At first, you waited for him to text first. He expected the same from you. Days passed, then weeks. Your chat grew quieter. Once daily messages turned into one word, then one reaction, and then nothing remained.

You opened your conversation more than once, typed a long message, but each time deleted it before sending. It seemed too late.

Several months passed.

One evening I received a message from him on my phone:

"I don't know if you want to read this. But I really miss what we had between us. I regret letting my pride ruin everything."

You stared at the screen for a long time. You wanted to answer right away, but fear was stronger. What if there was nothing that could be done? What if he no longer wanted you in his life?

Several hours passed, and the message remained unanswered.

The next day he didn't write anymore.

Now, every time your phone alerts you to a new message, you can't help but hope it's him. But your chat remains silent.

And now it's up to both of you to decide whether this story will be the end of your friendship... or the beginning of a second chance.
