[Four Days Later]

Ava wandered around her room, listening to BTS's Fake Love. After Nick left yesterday, Ava hadn't left her room and was listening to the most depressing songs she could find out of her three favorite artists. And she wasn't having a hard time finding them either.

Ava, softly singing: Neol wihaeseoramyeon nan seulpeodo gippeun cheok hal suga isseosseo, neol wihaeseoramyeon nan apado ganghan cheok hal suga isseosseo

{Translation; For you, I could pretend I was happy when I was sad, for you I could pretend I was strong when I was hurt}

She sighed, listening to the song.

Ava, whispering: God, how I wish that was true right now.

She lowered her head, and a single tear traced its way down her cheek. But she swiped it away viciously when she saw it. She lifted her head, glaring at herself in the mirror, behind her curtain of black hair.

"You mother FUCKER!"

She grabbed a glass mug from her desk and threw it against the wall. Shattering into a million pieces.
