This is based off of 'Moral of the Story' by Ashe


I stared at my girl- ex-girlfriend as the rain continued to pour down on us. I still don't know why she came to try and explain why she did what she did.

"Listen, Y/N, I'm sorry, I am," pleaded Vanya. "I don't know what happened, it was so sudden I just-" I interrupted her.

"Some mistakes get made, that's alright, that's okay," I responded, shaking my head. This hurt, it did but how could I trust her after what she did? How could I know that she wouldn't do it again? "I know you didn't mean too and I know that it was an accident."

"Then why won't you forgive me? Why won't you come back to me?" she asked, once again pleading.

"Some mistakes get made, that's alright, that's okay but that doesn't mean I can forgive you..." I muttered. Even through the rain, I could see Vanya's eyes start to water.

"Please, please, I can't- I need you," she sobbed. "I've already lost my family, they hate me. Their sister, I can't lose you too." My heart clenched for her. I couldn't deny it, even though I was upset, I hadn't stopped caring for her.

"I know. I don't want to lose you either but-" I was cut off by a wail.

"Then why won't you forgive me? Why won't you come back to me?" Vanya wailed, sobbing once again. "Please. I love you! I love you," she whispered quieter this time.

"You can think that you're in love when you're really just in pain," I whispered back, though I wasn't sure if she heard. "Some mistakes get made, that's alright, that's okay, but you can think that you're in love when you're really just in pain," I said louder. Another sob tore through her chest. "I felt we could really do this, but really I was foolish. Thought I really knew you, god I really tried to..." my voice trailed off and I let out a dry chuckle, shaking my head.

"Y/N..." she trailed off, her voice getting stuck in her throat.

"Remember how we painted our house just like my grandparents did?" she shook her head, hiccuping slightly. "So romantic, but we fought the whole time. I should have seen the signs." I went to say more but Vanya starting talking before I could.

"Y/N, why? Why are you telling me this? Just to remind me of what we've lost?" she asked, her voice thick with emotion. "Are you telling me you want to do this again? That you want to come back? Tell me, please."

I shook my head, tears starting to fall down my face. "Some mistakes get made, that's alright, that's okay. They're easy to forgive but not forget. How do I know that you won't do this again? No," I put my hand out, telling her to keep silent. "How do I know that I can trust you?" I shook my head, droplets of water flinging from my hair. "Some mistakes get made, and that's alright, that's okay, but in the end, it's better for me. That's the moral of the story, Vanya. I'm sorry."

"No, no, please, Y/N," Vanya begged, stepping closer to me. "Please don't leave me too. I can't lose you."

"I'm sorry, Vanya, in the end, it's better for me. For both of us." I shook my head. "I wish you the best luck in the world." I turned around, ignoring her heartbroken pleas for me to stay and to come back, and headed into my small home.

I sighed, shut the door, and leaned my head on it. I groaned, before trekking to my room to strip myself of my cold, wet clothes and take a long, warm shower before hopping in bed.


That was three years ago. Now I have a different girlfriend, G/F/N, and things haven't been better. I do miss Vanya at times, but I've been happier than I ever was with her and I was ready to pop the question.

I had the ring out, the box open, and was on my knee when the world suddenly seemed to glow orange and got incredibly hot. The last thing I saw before my world became black forever was G/F/N's shocked, whether that was in a good or bad way, and beautiful face.

You weren't expecting that ending were you? I wasn't either. It just, sort of, happened. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'm sorry for not updating in a bit. Also! I will do any female characters from any of the fandoms listed in the Updated Fandoms list(which I have now updated to include the female characters that I will do), still not a lot of smut! Also, shout out to Glitterbutt4life (Shady) on Quotev for the awesome cover! Alright, that's all I have for now but I promise i will try to update soon! As always, stay safe and have a great rest of your day/night/whatever time it is where you are!


QotC:

What is your favorite genre of one-shots? Like angst, fluff, fluffy angst, lemon, smut, etc.


Authors Answer:

Angst for sure. I love the feeling of dying inside, it's weird. Angst is, just, what I need to get through the day.
