Can’t Win Me Back

At this very moment, an angel and a devil were locked in a heated debate in Alyssa's mind.

"Alyssa, did you see what that jerk did? He's just a fickle-minded asshole who hasn't changed his ways.

Just give up on him soonest.

Don't stoop so low!" "Lyse, you must not give up on him! Jasper only changed because of his brain injury.

It's not that he wants to ignore you.

Don't let your mind wander!" "Heck, stop making excuses for this asshole's behavior.

Even if he doesn't love Lyse anymore, he still has memories from when they were deeply in love, right? But he's pushing all those memories aside, spending his time with another woman instead.

He's heartless!" "That's not a valid argument.

Are they not allowed to break up just because they once had something? And memories? Memories don't hold any real weight!" Memories didn't carry any weight.

It was a frigid day.

Alyssa suddenly came to a halt, letting the icy wind whip against her frail body and dry the tears from her eyes.

All the other voices faded away, leaving that one sentence echoing in her mind.
