   i held y/n tightly and rubbed her back as she cried into me. i had never seen anybody cry this hard before. it was coming from deep inside her chest and i could feel the heavy tears hitting my neck that her face was shoved into.

   i felt her grip grow tighter, and then all of the sudden we were falling to the ground with our arms still wrapped around each other. when we hit the floor she brought me onto her lap and i latched my ankles around each other. usually, if i was in this situation with y/n i would be going feral, but right now, y/n just needed someone, not a horndog.

   y/n cried harder and i felt my heart clench. what happened to her to make her cry like this? she pulled her face out of my neck and i heard her start to try and calm herself down. i stroked her hair and brought my hand up to wipe the tears that had fallen down my cheeks.

   i brought my hands to the side of her face and lifted her head so she was looking at me. the look on her face broke me. there were countless amounts of tears running down her face, her bottom lip was trembling, and her eyes were like a child's that had just gotten their candy bar taken away.

   my fingers wiped the tears away and i grasped her jaw in my hands and leaned up to kiss her forehead. i heard her take in a shaky breath and i sniffed to clear my nose.

   "thank you." she croaked out as she stared i to my eyes. truthfully, i didn't trust myself to speak out of fear i'd burst into tears like she had, so i just continued to clear the tears from her face and smiled at her.

   y/n looked down at our position and looked back up at me with a blush coating her cheeks. she bit her lip nervously and adverted her eyes away from me. "um, i'm sorry. i didn't realize i—"

   "no, it's okay. don't apologize. i'm not uncomfortable. it's alright." i reassured her and ran my thumbs over her features. she unwrapped her arms from around my waist and slid her hands to just rest on the side of my body. her hands felt great on me—no, ariana. not right now.

   "um, can we stand up? please?" y/n asked me while she chewed on the side of her cheek. i didn't want to get off of her, but she obviously wanted me to so i nodded before standing up and reaching my hand out to her just like she had done to me at the bookstore.

   she grabbed it and i pulled her up the best that i could. when she was fully standing she looked down at me, causing me to blush. she pushed her hair back with her palm and sniffed.

   "t-thank you, again. i don't really know what that was. but, thank you. it—it felt really good." y/n spoke as she turned around to sit back on the swing she was sitting on before. i took a seat at mine and leaned over to place my hand on her knee.

   i rubbed it comfortingly and she looked up at me sadly. "like i said before, it's okay. i know we technically just met, but you can tell me anything. i'm here for you, y/n/n, okay? i'm right here." when i was done she brought her hand down to grasp mine and butterflies filled my stomach at the feeling.

   y/n nodded and but her bottom lip. "yeah. thank you, ari. i—i won't say much but i just gotta get this off my chest. you—you probably noticed like everybody did, but, something—something happened to me in eighth grade and it fucked me up." she let out a deep shaky breath and rubbed her face harshly with her hands.
