Broken Pieces

Chapter Two

(2016, November 24)

Y/n's life was already stressful with college, but it got even worse when she came home to an empty house. The weight of her studies and the pressure to succeed had been taking a toll on her, but having redlic by her side had always provided a sense of comfort and support. However, on this particular day, as she stepped through the front door, the silence engulfed her, leaving her feeling more alone than ever before.

Calling out for redlic, Y/n's voice echoed through the empty rooms, but there was no answer. A sense of unease settled in her chest as she made her way towards the bedroom. The door creaked open, revealing a scene of chaos and disarray. Clothes and makeup were strewn across the floor, as if a whirlwind had torn through the room. The once neatly made bed was now a jumbled mess of twisted sheets, and the closet, once filled with redlic's belongings, was now almost empty.

Y/n's heart sank as the realization hit her like a tidal wave. Redlic had left her without any explanation. The pain of abandonment washed over her, leaving her feeling lost and confused. She desperately tried to call redlic, hoping for some kind of explanation, but each attempt went straight to voicemail. The unanswered calls only deepened her heartbreak, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, but there was still no sign of redlic. Y/n's world crumbled around her as she struggled to make sense of the sudden departure. She questioned herself endlessly, wondering what she had done wrong to drive redlic away. The weight of the unanswered questions and the absence of closure consumed her every waking moment.

Unable to focus on her studies or find solace in her once comforting bed, Y/n was forced to make the difficult decision to drop out of college. The dreams and aspirations she had once held dear now seemed distant and unattainable. The emptiness in her heart mirrored the emptiness in her life, and she longed for the warmth and companionship that redlic had brought.

Months turned into a year, and still, there was no sign of redlic. Y/n's heartache remained a constant companion, a heavy burden she carried with her every day. The pain of the unanswered questions and the absence of closure gnawed at her, leaving her feeling incomplete and broken.

The pain you experienced was overwhelming. You couldn't eat, couldn't do anything except sit and watch movies. Your mind was consumed by thoughts of Redlic, and it shattered your heart to think of her. Suddenly, she disappeared without a trace.

Your friends tried to convince you to go out, but you always declined. Instead, they came to visit you, understanding your pain and how much it hurt.

Your eyes were red and swollen, your complexion pale, your body thin and exhausted.

"Y/n, I need you to listen to me carefully," one of your friends said.

"You have the right to lose yourself, to cry as much as you need to, to feel like you're going crazy. Sometimes, you have to lose yourself in order to find yourself. Remember that even in the darkest chapters, there can still be a glimmer of hope. The wrong paths can lead you to the right ones. But if you do lose yourself, please come back. We'll be here every step of the way. If you don't get up and start healing, the pain will only intensify. We believe in you, and we know how much you loved her. But out there in the world, she has already moved on. We know you can do it, Y/n." They smiled softly.

The words of your friend echoed in your mind, resonating deep within your broken heart. You had been drowning in a sea of despair, unable to see beyond the pain that consumed you. But their words offered a glimmer of hope, a lifeline to pull you out of the darkness.
