~Continued from the last chapter (Again <3)~

"I won't be coming back after today"

'No... no... no, NO!' I start screaming in my head, 'he's got to be joking, right? Right?!' I just sit there silently, the words he said still processing.

Mystery Man just sits on the other side f the door quietly, waiting for me to say something to him. But what do I say to that?!

"You.. you're kidding, right?" I manage to say, my voice cracking as my pathetic eyes start watering again.

"I... no. I'm not joking." MM says and I get the sudden feeling of being punched in the stomach and I cry out in pain. 'is this what it feels like when somebody breaks your heart?'

"Am I not lovable?!" I accidentally speak out loud with a sob and I quickly cover my mouth to stifle my cries. My chest hurts.

"What?! No! I-I mean yes! you are lovable (f/n), I'm leaving because of my job" I hear MM say but I don't want to hear any more of this. I stand up, my body feeling numb yet so hurt.

I start walking away from the door sobbing, my eyes tearing up so that I have difficulty seeing where I'm going. I trip over something and I just kneel there. 

"It hurts so m-much" I say gasping for breath and clutching my stomach, sobs racking my body.

"(f/n)?!" I hear MM say behind the door in a panicked voice, I ignore him. 'How could I have fallen so hard for him? I knew that he was going to leave, why did I convince myself that he would stay? I don't even know what he looks like!' I shout in my head and I curse myself for being so naive.

While weeping and hugging myself, I fail to notice the hand on my shoulder.

"(f/n)..." I hear MM say softly behind me and I freeze.

He's standing behind me.

His hand is on my shoulder.

He's touching me.

'He opened the door'

I spin around on my knees and without looking at his face I wrap my arms around his back. I can feel him tense up underneath my touch but he quickly snaps out of it and envelopes me in his arms, leaning his chin on my head. (see picture above)

We stay there for a few quiet and peaceful minutes.

"Do you have to leave?" I mumble into his shirt as I take in the feeling of being embraced.

"Yes" I hear him say while his chin moves on my head. I feel my heart sink and I hold him tighter, not wanting to let go of this moment. He clutches me and I notice that he is shaking slightly.

We go quiet again, I have nothing to say and the silence is comforting.

"(f/n)... I promise to find you" I hear MM whisper and I can feel tears fall down my cheeks. Damn these (e/c) eyes, They won't stop leaking.

I'm about to say something when MM starts humming a soft tune, triggering my eyes to close and my body to relax. The tune he's humming is the same as when we first met, he hasn't played that instrument since but I recognise the song. I smile slightly and start humming along quietly with him.

'I won't ever forget you' I say in my head as my body starts to feel heavy. I can feel myself being picked up and carried.

'Why do I feel sleepy every time he starts to play this tune?' I wonder to myself before my mind closes off completely and I fall asleep.

'I never got to see his face or know his name...'

~Guess what?! Time for a time skip!! <3~

I open my eyes in a daze, my mind blank as I look at my surroundings. I'm in the females sleeping quarters... 'how did I get here?' I think just before my mind starts automatically going over what happened before I fell asleep.

'Mystery Man had hugged me... did that mean that he went into the girls sleeping quarters?!' I feel my face start to burn but before I can dwell on the subject any longer I remember that I'll probably never see MM again.

I feel another punch in the gut and tears form in my eyes, I quickly cover my mouth with my hand before any of my cries could be heard. 'You really are quite pathetic f/n' I hear the voice say and I glare at the empty room in front of me.

"I don't need the voice in my head to be telling me that." I mumble out between my fingers quietly. 'I know you don't, I'm just warning you because now you have nobody to complain to when Cathryn hurts you' I freeze, realizing that the voice was right. All I was worried about was that I would never see MM again, I should have been worrying more about how I'm going to deal with the pain the Cathryn inflicts into me.

"Shit" I say quietly, remembering an important detail to what has happened.

"I never finished my chores."
