Scourge[001]

I remember the day I met Scourge. It was at school, in class. We sat together and started talking about our favorite games. It was like we'd known each other our whole lives. Our friendship grew quickly, and we soon became inseparable. We shared everything, from our joys to our sorrows. He was my confidant, my best friend...

But everything changed when he met his girlfriend. At first, I thought it was great that he'd found someone special, but I soon realized I was wrong. He was drifting away from me, more and more. He stopped replying to my messages, forgot about our plans, and when we did talk, it was like I was talking to a stranger.

I tried talking to him, asking him what was going on, but he always made excuses or shut down. I felt like I'd lost my best friend. Sadness and loneliness overwhelmed me, and I started wondering if I'd done something wrong.

The last straw was when we had a big argument. He called me names and pushed me really hard. I spoke up, and he slapped me to shut me up. It was too much. I felt hurt, humiliated, and angry. I told him I never wanted to see him again.

Days passed, and I heard nothing from Scourge. I wasn't surprised; I thought it had been the best decision. But one day, while I was at home, the doorbell rang. I got up to answer it, and there he was with a bouquet of flowers and a card that said, "I'm sorry." My heart stopped for a moment.

What should I do? Do I accept his apology and try to rebuild our friendship? Or do I reject him and close that door forever?
