Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Jameson stared at Alyssa deeply. There was a gleam in his eyes that was so full of yearning.

"If you are the innocent and kind Jimmy that I once knew, I will send my sincerest wishes even without you telling me to do so."

The expression on Alyssa's face was frigid. She remained unwavering. "But right now, I cannot fulfill your request. Even if I forced myself to say it, it would not be sincere. It won't mean anything." Jameson smiled slightly. He wasn't angered because of this.

"Do you remember the birthday present you gave me when we were young? When my father chased me out of Solana City, I didn't bring anything with me. All I brought to Kontina was the gift that you gave me Do you remember what you gave me, Lyse?"

Alyssa clenched her hands into tight fists by her sides. She didn't reply.

Of course she still remembered.

"There was one year when the kids at school were into toy car racing. Everyone had them except for me. At that time, I was ostracized and became their laughing stock."

Jameson's voice was gentle and pleasing to the ear. There was a twinkle in his deep eyes as he reminisced about the joys of his past. "Coincidentally, the toy car you gave me for my birthday that year was the one that I had always wanted. It was red in color. Do you remember it?"

Alyssa's chest tightened. An inexplicable feeling of sadness spread through her chest.

She had never given him gifts for superficial purposes.

She attentively cared for and protected a soft-hearted child whose self-esteem was easily hurt.

"But, I know that it wasn't actually a coincidence. You were just pitying me and showing me compassion."

The fondness that filled Jameson's eyes was a feeling that only belonged to Alyssa alone. "Even so, it still made me really happy. And the reason was you."

"How I treated you wasn't out of pity or compassion. I just hoped for all my friends to be happy." Alyssa's voice was strained as she tried hard to suppress the emotions within her.

"I really wish we could turn back time. It's a pity that that's not possible."
