꧁~The Key & Lock~(Part XXIII)꧂

"My past still haunts me, but I never thought it would catch up to me."

Then I remembered something.

I wiggled out of his arms and stood up, making my way around the couch.

"María?"

He was obviously confused, but I wasn't going to waste time by telling him what I was doing. I was going to show him.

This is the key.

I walked up the stairs as a arm held onto me.

The truth is the lock.

"María?" he said again, "what are you doing."

After yanking my arm away from him, I kept marching up the steps.

He tried to hold my hand multiple times, but I didn't want to hold his.

"Go away!" I finally yelled at the boy.

"What-"

"GO!" I ordered.

As I turned back around, I could hear his footsteps fall, he was going.

I made it up to his room and grabbed my bag, then I made my way back downstairs.

My head hurts.

When I got back to the living room, I saw him just sitting on the couch quietly.

His back was to me, so I just took the 'key' out of the bag and tapped him on the shoulder.

"The truth is the lock," I said.

I pushed it in his direction. I had a blank face.

"And these are the key."

He took it from my hand and examined it.

After I handed it to him, I walked around so I could sit on the couch.

~Techno's POV~

She handed me two notes.

I read the first.
