Completely in (c/n)'s POV

Everyday was hard working in this messy and dirty factory. We made long days and only got so little money. Most of us are from the lowest class, including me. When I was born I was pretty much destined to such future.

The money I get I have to give to my parents. I rarely see them since I work in the factory almost 24/7. Yhey don't care about me too. Only about the money for which I have to work.

But this day was different from the other ones. At first it started as one of the most horrible days I have ever had. A boy who also worked here died because of one of the machines. It broke me. He was like a little brother to me.

I couldn't focus on my work. Better said: I couldn't do it anymore. I wanted to leave but the supervisors kept an eye on the exits. The only place closest to leaving was in a corner, behind large crates.

When no one looked in my direction I sneeked into the corner. As I sat down I cursed mr. (l/n) and cried.

I don't know how much time had passed till I became calmer and heard someone speak to me. It was a girl. She asked me who I was and I said   (c/n).

But when she introduced herself I freaked out. I had mixed feelings. I was angry with her for this stupid factory and I was afraid of her. Afraid that she'd tell her father I was here.

But what she did surprised me. She stayed and sat down a few meters before me. She told me it was okay and that she wouldn't dare to hurt me.  I didn't really know if I should believe her but something about her felt right. It felt like she was a good person. Something you don't often find in the world.

After this first meeting we saw each other everyday. She could get in here easily by bribing the supervisor with the money of her father. She stole it just like she stole food from her own kitchen. I was very thankful for everything she did for me.

It didn't take long till I fell in love with her. I didn't want to because I knew I could never be with her.

We had been seeing each other for months now and it was almost her birthday. This time I was going to give her something, but what? I didn't have anything. The money I earned I had to give to my parents.

I decided to make it myself. I gathered every item I could find and kept them stored inside a little hole. When I found enough items I lay them all on the ground and brainstormed about what I could make for her.

I picked up two little gears and a thin key. With those items I could make a necklace. The only thing missing was a chain. Since I wasn't able to find one around here I had to buy it.

I started working more even though I already worked so much. The money I earned for the extra hours I kept for myself. Eventually I had enough to buy the cheapest chain there was. It was no silver, no gold...

After I bought it I immediately put the necklace together. I wrapped it in a piece of paper I also found in the factory.

The next morning was her birthday. When she gor her I gave her my present. I could see she was surprised. When she saw the necklace she said she loved it. 

She asked me to help her put it on and I came closer. Our faces almost touched. She smiled at me.

I kissed her, I couldn't hold myself in anymore. With my hands I caressed her face. Her arms were wrapped around me. Her lips fit perfectly on mine.

Not long after that day I became more and more tired. Mr (l/n) had me work more hours because of the many casualties. Mostly children had died of the dangerous circumstances in the factory. Now that there were less workers we had to work more.

I almost never went home anymore, I just slept in the factory. A few others did too.

I didn't get enough sleep and I soon became sick. I still had to work though so I wasn't able to recover. Luckily (y/n) saved my life. She gave me the medicine I needed but how she got it, I don't know.

On one morning I woke up by someone yelling my name. It was Mr (l/n). When he saw me he grabbed me by my shirt and dragged me out of the factory into a chariot.

In there he told me he knew about   (y/n) and me. He told me I'd never marry his daughter and that I could never see her again. He said he was going to make an end to my life.

I asked Mr (l/n) for one last thing. If he could give this ring to (y/n). It was a silver ring on which I had spent all my money on. I wanted to purpose to (y/n) the next time I'd see her.

Mr (l/n) took the ring and asked me if I really loved his daughter that much. I didn't doubt and answered the question immediately. I said I loved her with all mu heart and that I'd do anything for her.

He only nodded and said to stop the horses. He opened the little door and said to me where here.

We were on a graveyard just outside the city. By now (y/n) must have figured out I wasn't in the factory anymore.

Another man came in sight. He was holding a rifle. I was put to my knees and I lookes to the sky. I hadn't seen it for a while now. I thought about (y/n) and a tear rolled down my face.

"I love you, (y/n)" I said and closed my eyes.

A heard a loud bang and the world became black.

I saw (y/n) crying by my grave. I told her not to cry because I don't want to see her sad. I wanted to touch her but my hand went right through her.

She didn't hear me. She didn't feel me. She didn't see me.

But she loved me. And I loved her.
