Hard to love.

Game.

Y/n didn't eat a thing. She was so emotional to pay attention to anything. The woman just sat at her seat quietly while everyone was eating and talking. It made her feel like and outsider.

-Have some soup.- She turned to the voice's place. It was Levi, he handed her a vessel of soup.- Sorry for the situation earlier.

-It's fine, manager. Thanks for your kindness.-She weakly smiled at him. Levi didn't reply, he cameback to his dishes.

The party went on well, everybody seemed to enjoy it. Y/n received a call from Mikasa, so she went out of the room. It was still a sweet voice of Mikasa when she answered it. It just made she feel safe and comfortable.

-Hi! How is everything Mikasa? I heard from Sasha that you are on a date?- The girl on the phone faltered.

-He's..he's fine. Just, yeah. Oh, we shouldn't talk about it now.- Y/n gently smiled at her friend. Mikasa was such a cute girl.

-However, why did you call?

-I wanted to know if the party is going well?

-Yes, except for one thing. Thank you, you are being thoughtful.

-You're welcome. It's just, I have something I want to tell you but maybe tomorrow. I think it's better if you back to the party.- The girl sent Y/n a kiss before she ended the call. 

But it would be annoying to comeback, she would have to face Nancy and that made her uncomfortable. 'I'm going to see her and Levi cuddling when I comeback!'-she thought. That broke her heart.

Behind her suddenly echoed up a sound of high heels. Y/n had a bad feeling, she turned around and realised that was Nancy. Nancy stared at her cunningly, such a pain in the ass. Y/n rolled her eyes and quickly walked away when Nancy held her back.

-Wait, we haven't talked yet.-Nancy said.

-What do you want? We have nothing to talk about. And don't act naive in front of me, that's so disgusting.

-Oh, is that so? Why didn't you slap me just like you did in the past?- Nancy slightly smirked.

-Why would I? Things are fucking over and you should remember you were the one who started it first. You've messed with me many times and I'm not going to forgive or condescend to you again.

-You've become impetuous since the last time I saw you huh? Is it because you finally have friends now? Oh, or it's because you fell in love with Levi? How ridiculous when I saw your eyes on him?

-Shut up Nancy. You're still as shifty as you were.

-That's must be true then. Look! I'm going to steal whatever you have now. It's a game. Will you play with me?

-What if I agree and what if I not? You've arranged the freaking game from the beginning. But I won't let you win that easy.

-Deal! You're still wise as ever, I love that.- The woman stepped away, Y/n squeezed her hand. Nancy was such an evil. 

After a few minutes to calmed herself down, Y/n turned back to the room. As she opened the door, Nancy rushed out and grabbed her hand and pulled she in. That girl was exciting and Y/n noticed that she was talking about both of them when they were in high school: how closed they were, the memories when they were together. Those were lies. Then the girl's face became sad when she said why she and Y/n broke up as they used to be best friend. "Why?"- Y/n blenched a bit since the person who spoke up was Levi. "It was just something, we had a small argument that we couldn't reconcile."- Y/n explained, of course it wasn't true. But Nancy forced her to act.

Nancy looked at her, dumbfounded for a while but quickly added :" Yes, yes, a small one. But war is over. Let's congrat us!". Everyone cheered, but as Y/n's eyes corner, she could see Levi's glance at her. Maybe he suspected her.

-Hey! Look at that!- Hange said, pointed at the screen in the room. Heck, why it was there.

Nancy showed some pictures on the screen as she told that she loved photography. Those photos were about places around the world, flowers, Y/n's old school,... But then one pic was showed, which caught everyone's attention. That was a photo of Nancy, her face was red and numb as someone just slap into it.

Y/n gritted her teeth, trying not to do anything stupid.

-What the hell?- Connie said.

-Oh I'm sorry. I thought I'd deleted it.- Nancy covered her mouth. She hurriedly turned off the computer.

-Were you bullied?-Sasha asked.- Who could ever do that to you?

-Yes, yes, it was cruel.- Connie then added. 

On the other hand, Y/n felt like everyone's eyes were on her. But turned out it was just Levi's. She looked back at him hopelessly, like an explanation :"It's not what you think."

-Hey, enough, stop talking about this. The party is ruined.- Hange said, her eyes turned to Y/n, which made her heart skip a beat. However, Hange quickly looked away.- It's late, we should go home. Tomorrow is a working day.

Although Hange tried to look as normal as possible. There was something was abnormal. Was she disappointed, but what for? Or she just felt mercy for Nancy? Y/n couldn't say it. She wanted to ask why did Hange look at her like that but her mouth couldn't open. Everyone left, Sasha and Connie followed Nancy to ask if there was any trauma left. 

Opposite to the trio, Y/n, Levi and Hange kept silience until they reached their car.

-Sleep tight, Y/n.- Hange said, sadly smiled.

-Thank you, you too.-Y/n said, waved her hand and urgently drove away. Y/n cried all the way home, all the writhe was pulled ou with the tears. She knew that her life would turn to a new chapter tomorrow. But she had to be strong, because as long as Nancy was there, she would probably had a hard time.
