It's Not Too Late (Sad KiriBaku AU) Discontinued

Chapter 2

Visiting hours were over, I basically got kicked out of the hospital by force. I was still somewhat shocked, my boyfriend was in a coma. As I was walking back home, I could feel the sun rays delicately caressing my face. As I looked up to make sure I wasn't lost, I realized I subconsciously walked to 'the' beach. Katsuki loved this place, he always found it full of life. I soon enough got moving and sat down on the soft sand. I closed my eyes, letting the sound of the ocean calm me down. I laid down on my back and thought about all the amazing memories me and my boyfriend had on this beach. We built sandcastles and played in the ocean like two toddlers on a playdate. We also used to meet up here, when one of us was upset, we used to call this our secret paradise, but now it's mostly isolated. I remember a time when this beach was full of people. I used to believe that being alone here would be better, but today, yesterday and tomorrow are, have and will prove me wrong. The energy brought by the children running around the shore, or the nice brown haired lady that always fed the seagulls was the reason my boyfriend and I always came here, it was because we didn't want to be alone. As I slowly opened my eyes to look at the sea, I realized how much I depreciated this place. We used to come here every weekend, lay down on the sand, and complain about how there should be less people, or about the noise, so we simply just stopped going. But now that I think about it, I was wrong. I should've known that one day, the beach will be drained of its energy, the energy that used to bring the both of us here, and even though my boyfriend told me so many times that I tend to take things for granted, I mostly just ignored him, but here I am, living the truth, I do take things for granted, as a lot of other human beings. The only people that will not die full of regret, are the ones that worked for everything they own, and loved their own kind until the last second. In my case though, the beach was just a metaphor I used to hide, what I've really taken for granted.
