Pulling Your Heartstrings

New Tune...

Y/n Pov

I skipped school the day after my heart got shattered, telling 'Tomu I wasn't feeling well.
He looked worried and tried to stay or take me to the infirmary, but I told him I just needed rest and that I'll be fine.

I lied.

I texted my brother that I had some emotional problems and wasn't going to my classes. I asked if I could stay at the cafe all day, and thankfully he said yes.

I didn't lie... I just didn't give the full truth. Kenma and Kuroo were the only people that knew about my crush. Not even my own family knew.
My family thought I was too focused on school and music to even feel those kinds of things. They simply thought I wasn't interested.

But I was.
Now my heart's been shattered.
I can't even find all the pieces.
Maybe someone else can?
Or maybe I'll just always feel this way.
What if I'm alone?

I felt so fragile. I could feel more tears building up. I didn't wanna cry. I didn't sleep at all last night, I was crying the whole time. My face looked terrible.

And my brother saw the moment I walked through the doors, my guitar case strapped on my back. "Y/n! Oh my god, are you ok?!"

I shook my head. "I cried all night." I leaned my head against his chest, wrapping my arms around his torso.

He rubbed my head. "Ok. You don't need to talk about it. I'll get ya some breakfast and your favorite (coffee/energy drink) and you can rest. Whenever you're ready afterwards, you can do your hair and makeup and perform till your heart's content. Ok? Sound like a plan?"

I nodded. "Thanks."

He gave me plenty of sweets, along with actual food so I could eat a proper meal. I ate and drank everything, knowing I'd need it for energy with my performances.

After finishing I got up onstage and started playing the guitar, singing out my heart. All I could sing were sad songs- all about love and heartbreak and pain. I knew my brother would figure out what happened just by listening to my songs, but I didn't care at that moment.
I just needed to get it out right now.

Later on, around the same time as last night, the boys' volleyball team came in, sitting down at the same table.
I kept my focus on my music, but I felt tears building up in my eyes again. My music had never brought out my own emotions when I played and sang, today was different. I had a different situation and could no longer hold everything back. I was in pain and I needed to let it all out.

We came back to the cafe after practice and Y/n was already onstage, singing and playing guitar. I smiled upon hearing her voice. When we sat down, I really payed attention to her singing and my smile disappeared.

She wasn't smiling, she didn't sound as happy as she did last night. Then tears streamed down her face. I felt my heart shatter. How could such a beautiful angel cry? What could've possibly hurt her to this extent?

"Someone please~ grab my hand before I slip away. I'm crying, I'm breaking. Can't see the light anymore. The pain and the darkness are swallowing me, taking me away from everything I used to be.
Tell me why does it hurt so much. Why do we have hearts if they'll just break? Why do we have to live if we'll only feel pain?"
