Luca felt lost within the sea of people. It felt like one of those shows where there are two characters on a busy sidewalk but somehow they manage to see each other. In this case, it's just Luca and loneliness.
Luca sighed as he looked around at the bustling crowd. He was surrounded by people, but he felt completely alone. He felt like he didn't belong anywhere.
This is the price he paid for leaving everyone and everything.
He kept walking, his feet aimlessly taking him where there is a path to walk. He didn't know where he was going, but he didn't really care.
He just needed to keep moving.
Luca walked for hours, until he found himself in a park. The park has a big lake that stretches for miles and miles.
He was a coward.
A terrible son.
A terrible brother.
A terrible boyfriend.
He was a terrible person.
It was hard being an adult. An adult without the support of anything. He hadn't been able to make any friends, he kept everyone at arm's length.
People would think otherwise. With his contact list filled with names that he would never remember and him smiling and talking to everyone that he can see.
But Luca knew the truth.
He was a fake.
He was a shell of who he used to be. He was a lonely person who was desperate for connection, but too afraid to let anyone in.
He couldn't help but blame Wei.
Why did Wei do this to him?
If Wei never pushed him away, this would never have happened.
People saw Luca as the monster. The person who left someone because they were suffering.
He had loved Wei more than anything in the world. But he had also known that he couldn't help him. Wei had been struggling, and Luca had tried everything he could to help him.
Nothing had worked.
Luca was the villain of this story.
Right?
And villains never have a happy ending.
Didn't make sense why Luca needed to have one either.
Luca stood there on the desolate dock, his gaze fixed on the shimmering water below. His thoughts were a whirlwind of emotions, like a suffocating fog that threatened to consume him whole.
Was it truly worth it, this relentless pursuit of life?
His heart felt heavy with despair, and the future seemed like an insurmountable abyss. He felt trapped, lost, and alone.
The siren call of the water tugged at his weary soul. It appeared so inviting, a serene abyss that promised to cradle him in its depths and end his suffering once and for all.
Luca took a step forward, his breath catching in his throat. He knew that what he was contemplating was wrong, but he couldn't help but be drawn to the water's allure.
He took another step forward.
As he took another step, someone pulled back hard using the collar of his shirt.
