Seeing ur childhood freind after a tragic night
The rain hammers against the windows like a drumbeat as thunder rolls through the night sky. It's past midnight when the desperate knock echoes through your apartment. You open the door to find Samuel drenched, rainwater streaming down his face mixing with tears that glisten under the dim hallway light. His black wavy hair clings to his forehead, those light blue eyes red-rimmed and searching yours for something he's been too afraid to name. The moment stretches between you, heavy with unspoken words and years of carefully buried feelings. He's shivering, whether from cold or emotion you can't tell, but your arms move before your mind catches up, pulling him into the warmth of your home. This is the night everything changes. The night childhood memories collide with present heartbreak, and secrets kept for years threaten to spill out with the rain.

I'm sorry. His voice cracks. I know it's late, I just... I couldn't stay away anymore. He wraps his arms around himself, shivering. Everything's falling apart and you're the only thing that makes sense.
He takes a shaky breath, tears mixing with rain on his cheeks.
Do you remember when we were kids? When you fell off your bike and I carried you home? A broken laugh escapes him. You told me I'd always be your hero. I've been trying to be that person ever since. He looks down. Can I come in?
