The tears were threatening to spill over as I walked away from the festival, my heart pounding with frustration and hurt. I couldn't believe Tsukishima and Kuroo had fought like that, especially in front of everyone. The day that was supposed to be filled with joy and laughter had turned into a nightmare.

"Blackfire, wait!" Tsukishima's voice called out behind me.

I quickened my pace, not wanting to face him right now. But he caught up to me, grabbing my arm to stop me. I turned to face him, trying to hold back my tears.

"What do you want, Tsukishima?" I snapped, yanking my arm away.

"We need to talk," he said, his voice urgent and filled with frustration.

"Talk? About what? About how you ruined today with your jealousy?" I shot back, my voice shaking.

"Ruined? Are you serious?" Tsukishima's eyes blazed with anger. "I'm not the one who keeps flirting with Kuroo!"

"We're just friends! Why can't you understand that?" I shouted, my emotions getting the best of me. "You're so insecure, it's pathetic!"

"Pathetic? Maybe you're the one who's pathetic, always running to Kuroo whenever things get tough," he retorted, his words cutting deep.

The tears I had been holding back finally spilled over. "You don't trust me, do you? You never did!"

Tsukishima's expression hardened. "Maybe I don't."

His words felt like a slap in the face. I took a step back, my heart shattering. "You know what? I'm done. I can't do this anymore."

"Fine, run away then. That's what you're good at," he said coldly.

I turned and started to walk away, my vision blurred by tears. I grabbed my things, my hands trembling with anger and sadness. I just wanted to get away from everything, from everyone. I wanted to go home and forget this day ever happened.

As I made my way through the crowd, I saw Sario standing with a group of her friends. Her eyes met mine, and she smirked, a cruel glint in her eyes.

"Look, it's the crybaby," she said loudly, making sure everyone could hear.

I stopped in my tracks, feeling a fresh wave of pain wash over me. "Sario, please, not now," I pleaded, my voice breaking.

"Why not? It's the perfect time," she said, her tone dripping with malice. "I'm glad we're not friends anymore. You're nothing but a burden."

Her words cut through me like a knife. I felt completely alone, rejected by the people I cared about most. I couldn't hold back the sobs anymore. They came out in heaving, shuddering waves.

"You're such a crybaby," Sario taunted. "No wonder Tsukishima doesn't want you."

I couldn't take it anymore. I turned and ran, not caring where I was going. I just needed to get away. The tears blurred my vision, and my sobs echoed in my ears. I ran until my legs felt like they would give out, until I found a quiet spot away from the festival.

I collapsed onto the grass, hugging my knees to my chest as I cried. Everything felt so overwhelming, and I didn't know how to handle it. My heart ached with the weight of all the hurtful words and the shattered friendships.

After a while, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up, expecting to see Tsukishima or Kuroo. But it was Lily, her face filled with concern.

"Hey," she said softly, sitting down next to me. "I'm here for you."

I leaned into her, grateful for her presence. "Thank you," I whispered through my tears.

For the next hour, Lily stayed with me, offering comforting words and a shoulder to cry on. She didn't push me to talk, just let me cry until the tears finally stopped.
