Aphmau's P.O.V

Have courage they always say, right? Don't give up they always say, right? Always believe they always say, right? Well, what if there is a right time to give up? What if there is a right time to not believe? Because if there was, it would be now - well, at least, earlier.

Tears continued to sting my bright red cheeks as I looked up at the brunette in front of me. Baby blue eyes shone with sadness and sympathy as he stared down at me. My tears began to slow down upon noticing his expression.

"Aph..." I heard him mumble. My mouth opened to say something, yet no sound came out.

"Ew, Laurance!" I noticed a pair of black ballet pumps approach him and stand next to him. "What are you doing near this freak?" 

What have I ever done to her? 

"S-she's crying, Luci..." His voice was soft and sweet and gentle, calming even. "Can't you see that?"

"Of course I can see that!" Her horse voice screeched. "But does it look like I care?!"

"Luci, calm down..." His voice remained soft and calm as he tried to calm down his girlfriend. I felt a tug at my heart, my feelings were getting in the way of logical thinking once more. I couldn't find the strength or courage to stand up, or even sit up. I could feel the stares of everyone's focused on me and my mess of a state. My mouth opened wide once more to scream but no sound came out. I guess the last time wasted all my energy. 

That was the first time in almost a year that I had even made a proper noise, hisses don't count. My vision began to cloud over with tears again. Refusing to let them escape at all, I gripped onto my earphones. "Are you insane like me?" They were screaming. Suddenly finding my strength, I stood up with a wobble. A crowd of gasps were followed by my actions. I smiled to myself. I just walked off. That's all. As I left I noticed Laurance kissing Lucinda on her cheek while all she was doing was smirking. With still refusing to cry, I took off into a run. I wasn't sure where I was running to but I just needed to get away. I needed to get away before I start hallucinating again. 

"Aphmau...!" I heard someone shout. I ignored them. "W-wait!" I ignored them again.

"Aphmau!" They wouldn't give up. I heard running feet coming up behind me so I sped up my running. I knew who it was; Zvhal. More specifically, Laurance Zvhal. "Hey - Potato!" I stopped dead in my tracks and turned to face him. I didn't make a sound my expression did all the talking for me. My heart was beating about as fast as a race car at full speed as he snaked his way towards me.

"Woah, woah," He softly chuckled. "You can stop with the death glares." My tear stained cheeks lightly flushed as his chuckles changed into laughs. 

"I'm going to fix you," He declared. "That's a promise." My pale lips formed a small smile and I nodded lightly.

I guess you could say that I have found the courage to try again, to forgive and forget. Well, mostly.
