Girl from Mitras ★ A. Arlert

Chapter 90 - Arguing is normal...

After talking with Levi, Y/N was left alone. It was still difficult for her to focus on work, as she felt anxious and frustrated. But... she knew now wasn't the time to think about it. She would think about it later... she was anxious in her soul, she... didn't want to be alone.

-Knock Knock-

-Come in!

Hitch entered the office cautiously.

- Hitch, what do you want?

- I wanted to know how are you, Y/N.

- Why is that?

- I know that... that you and Armin had a fight and...

Y/N looked at her in surprise.

- How do you know?

- Yesterday I... met him at the bar. He was very upset and was looking for you. He said that you had a fight and you ran away late at night. He went to look for you, and... went into the bar, also looking for you there. I talked to him, he... I never saw him like that... so sad, lost... he cried... it's rare when I saw a man cry... And I thought that it's not easy for you either, and because we're friends, I want to support you.

Y/N lowered her gaze, looking down at her knees. It was hard for her to hear it. She understood that perhaps Armin regretted what he had done, but... what was done couldn't be returned. She couldn't forget this incident just because he was sorry. From this, she will not gain confidence that this will not happen again, that he trusts her completely. She understood that she couldn't be with him if he didn't trust her. She wasn't going to earn his trust, to prove anything to him. She was honest with him, she was faithful to him, she loved him, gave him affection and tenderness, was always frank with him. She didn't know and didn't understand what else she needed to do so that he would simply believe and trust her. And she was hurt by these thoughts.

- Y/N?

Hitch sat down next to her, taking her friend by the hand.

- You will deal with everything, Y/N, quarrels happen.

- It's not easy, Hitch...

- Maybe you should take a day off?

- Tomorrow is the weekend, so I'll have a rest. Cancel all my weekend appointments. I plan not to leave the apartment.

- Are you okay?

- No, not at all.

- Did you talk to Armin after the fight?

- No, and... I'm not sure I'm ready to see him.

- I... I can stay with you if needed. I will not ask questions and bother... if you need support, I'm there. It's just... I don't know if you have a person to talk to or... who would know about your relationship...

- Hitch... actually, I would be glad... I'm now... afraid to be alone... I told you about what happened in my past... and now it's hard for me... stress and fatigue from work, and now this... I was would be glad to a friend, honestly.

Hitch smiled softly at Y/N, though she was jumping for joy in her heart.

- Should I sit here with you?

- No, I... go do your job... and in the evening - how do you feel about spending the evening together?

- Are you inviting me to your place?! Seriously?

- Yes. You will sleep in the guest room.

- Incredible... then I'll cancel the bar.

- Are you going to the bar today? I... I don't insist, you don't have to cancel your plans, and...
