~Continuation from the last chapter~

I run to the door and throw myself against it, sobbing. 'you know f/n, I'm pretty sure Mystery Man is sick of you coming here every night.' I have a sickening feeling that my head is right. Although I find my head strange, is it normal for the voice in your head to be a males voice?

I hear shuffling on the other side of the door and I freeze as I feel something pressing down on the other side of the door. I hiccup slightly and realize that Mystery Man has his back leaning against the door.

"What happened?" I hear MM (Mystery Man) ask me quietly and I can hear him slowly start playing the violin.

"C-Cathryn" Is all I say in reply, knowing he understands what I mean.

"I see" He says and I can feel my throat tighten up.

"It doesn't m-matter. I don't have any right to cry because other people have it w-worse" I say, choking up on my words as I begin to sob at my pathetic heart. I hear MM scoff behind the door.

"Saying you can't be sad because other people have it worse..." MM pauses in the middle of his sentence and sighs quietly.

"Saying that is basically saying that you can't be happy because other people have it better" MM says with a gentle voice and I stop crying. 'He's right f/n' I hear my head tell me.

"You can cry, you can be sad." I hear MM whisper quietly and that's all it takes for me to start sobbing. 'Now he really must think I'm pathetic'

~Half an hour later, brought to you by Marco! <3~

I'm sitting outside the door, MM is still leaning against the other side playing his violin. I blush slightly as I realize how close we are.

"Hey..." I hear MM speaking and I snap back to attention. 'Stop thinking about that stuff f/n' I hear my head scold me, I blush and look down at my feet.

"Y-yes?" I reply meekly, I can't help but wonder what MM looks like.

"What's your name?" His question catches me by surprise, 'we've been spending time together for six months and he doesn't know my name yet...' How stupid of me.

"U-uh, my name is (f/n)" I say with a slight squeak... again. I hear MM laugh and I blush.

"Wh-what are you laughing at?!" I stammer at him, I can basically hear him smiling when he replies to me.

"Your name is beautiful" Is all he says, causing me to turn into a beetroot. 'Did he just compliment you?' I hear the male voice say and I smile as I reply in my head, 'I-I think he did'.

"(f/n)? Can I ask you a question?" MM breaks my thoughts and I close my eyes, happy.

"fire away" I say, because i know that whatever he asks, I'll be completely honest, no matter what. He deserves honesty with how sweet he's been with me.

"What is your ideal man? Looks and personality." I almost choke as he asks this question. 'Seriously?!' My head screams and I laugh under my breath. I did just tell myself to be honest. I hope I don't insult him...

"Well, I suppose large b-blue eyes and blonde hair would be my p-preferred looks" I say and I swear I just heard him intake a sharp breath. I ignore it and continue.

"For personality I think that I w-would him to be smart, sweet, and kind to everyone" I say, and this time I hear MM mumble something under his breath, sadly I don't catch it. 'You must've insulted him f/n' I hear the voice say and Immediately I get worried, but before I can ask MM anything he asks another question.

"Do you prefer your men to be younger or older?" I pause to think for a moment. 'Well you always had crushes on boys that were younger then you' The voice says in my ear. He's right, never in my life have I been attracted to boys older then me. Except for maybe the man with Cold eyes, but he looks younger then me...

"I would have to say younger, I've never really given it m-much thought" I say as a reply to MM and I hear him laugh slightly. 'Maybe I didn't insult him after all...'

"I see, well that's all I have to ask. Now I have something to tell you..." as MM tells me this he keeps going quieter and I freeze. Something about what he said made me worried. What was going to happen?

"You can tell me" I say and for the first time in a while I don't stutter. Why am I so calm? Why did he seem so sad? I hear MM sigh, but not his normal sighs, he sounded apologetic. 'oh no...'

"I won't be coming back after today"
