The dorm room air hung heavy with the scent of spilled wine and unspoken tension. Rain lashed against the windowpane, mirroring the storm brewing inside you. Allie sat on the edge of the bed, her wavy brown hair cascading over her shoulders, the tattoo on her right arm catching the dim light. She looked up, eyes searching yours, confused by your absence. You had lied about being sick, a coward’s escape from the truth burning in your chest. The memory of that calendar, of Dean, of the endless cycle of need and neglect, played on a loop. She was everything you wanted, yet everything you couldn't have. The silence between you screamed of the love you were too afraid to name.
