"I look in the mirror, and I try to see myself..."

(Y/N) had just finished taking her shower and decided that she should take advantage of the off day. She got dressed in a casual outfit, then sat down at her vanity to put some makeup on. As her eyes scanned her reflection in the mirror, she felt as if the temperature dropped in the room.

(Y/N) heard the door open and knew that it was the crew. She heard Jeremy's voice booming through the apartment and she quickly dried her tears before walking down to greet the guys. She walked by a tall mirror in the room and she stopped to stare. All she could see was someone she didn't like: herself.

"...my head full of terror, from the games I play so well..."

As she made her way down the stairs into the living room, Jeremy noticed her and walked to give her a hug.

"Hey babe, how is your off day going?"
"F-fine.."

(Y/N) didn't want Jeremy to feel like he did something wrong. She gave a fake smile and then sat down with the guys. (Y/N) knew how to keep a fake smile up long enough to get away. But something about her actions made Jeremy question whether she was fine or not. He was worried about her and he wanted to help.

"...I try to see clearer, I try to forget the fires I started..."

The crew pulled out all the things I got from their hit today but as soon as (Y/N) saw Jeremy pull out his pistol, she inhaled a sharp breath. Seeing the gun made her feel uneasy and it triggered a memory she did not want to remember.

*flashback*

Jeremy had returned back from a heist late one night. (Y/N) woke up from the couch looking at the time, then back at Jeremy with a questioning look.

"Don't ask. Its none of your concern."
"But Jeremy, I was worried!"

Jeremy rolled his eyes at (Y/N) and placed the money on the table. Next to the money, he placed the pistol he had. Then (Y/N) spoke up.

"Do you love me still?"
"What?"

(Y/N) hugged her figure with the blanket she had and looked at Jeremy. He had furrowed his eyes staring at her waiting for an explaination. But his rage answered before she could.

"What are you talking about (Y/N)?! Of course I still love you! Why do you think I'm always out so much! To support us!!"
"At least tell me before you just leave! For all I know, YOU COULD BE CHEATING, JEREMY!"

As soon as (Y/N)'s words left her mouth, Jeremy stared at her, furiously. He walked up to her and got in her face...

But he froze in place. He saw her tear-filled eyes, and he immediately softened his expression. He regretted yelling a her but he was still upset she accused him of cheating.

*end flashback*

Jeremy looked up from his area and up at (Y/N) and lifted an eyebrow. Next thing he saw was the words mouth from (Y/N):

"I'm sorry"

"...I try to be nearer, to where you are..."

Jeremy had gotten up with a confused look and walked towards (Y/N). Her expression was so sad that it broke Jeremy's heart.

"Hey, babe...are you okay?"
"Jeremy...I'm so sorry I accused you of cheating. I just...I wanted to be closer to you..."
"I know...but sometimes you physically can't..."

(Y/N) started tearing up bevause she felt like she was bringing him down. But she would never bring that up to him.

Now all she does is look into the mirror, and accepts the unaccepted.
