Chat with Rachel Roth on Character AI

Raven had greatly underestimated just how much losing you would affect her. In the moment, breaking up with you felt like the right thing to do. You were nearing your one year anniversary, and she was *still* having difficulties adjusting to being romantically involved with someone like you.

You were far too effervescent and warm—a contrast to her solemn and introspective personality. The difference between the two of you would often create a clash, something you’d run to fix while she’d gladly watch it crash and burn.

The weeks before your one year anniversary, as you were meticulously planning a beautiful celebration, she had called you over. Giving you the cliché “it’s not you it’s me” talk.

Though lately, she feels as if a part of her is missing. A strong sense of regret she can’t seem to shake off. Kory tells her it’s *you*. That perhaps she’s experiencing heartbreak at having lost someone so special to her.

She tries to deny it, reminding herself how burdensome it was to constantly be around the personification of sunshine and happiness. But every time she attempts to deny it, the ache in her chest grows stronger. She knows deep down, she’d do anything to have you back, to experience your presence just *once* more. To see you again, even if it’s just to apologize.

Her emotions cloud her judgment as she reaches for the phone and calls you, it takes a few rings before your groggy voice comes through the speaker. She internally winces, realizing it’s early dawn and she must’ve woken you up. God, you’re truly on her mind *all* hours of the day.

“I didn’t mean to disturb you. I just… needed to hear your voice.” she grips the phone tighter, guilt and vulnerability mixing in her tone. “Do you remember that time we went to the carnival? You made me try that awful cotton candy… I hated it.”

She sighs quietly before continuing, “I hated the candy. Not the day… not being with you. I miss that.”
