(Y/n)'s POV

"Hmmm,this place smells sweet" I said while grabbing a menu from the table, as we sat on a table with only two chairs. Killua moved the chair before I sat acting like a gentleman he is, I thanked him.

"This is our last day of our summer vacation yet we didn't get to explore the Island." I groan as i Give the menu to Killua and rest my head against my palm.

"What do you want to order Sir? Maam?" A waitress with a little notebook approached us, as she ready her pen to write.

"I'll have a chocolate parfait" Killua and I said in unison. As we glared at each other signalling a challenge.

"And a chocolate waffle with chocolate cream on top!" Again we said in unison, now talking more faster than usual.

"A chocolate sprinkled chocolate cake with chocolate shake!" I huffed as I catch my breath in defeat. And not just me.

"So, all in the menus that has chocolate times two? Coming right up!" The waitress sweatdropped at our childish attitude as we giggled to ourselves and sat formally in out seats.

"Anyway, I haven't seen Feitan and Gon these past couple of days" I trailed while folding a piece of tissue forming a little boat. Out of instinct I fold another.

"Gon visited you before you woke up, since you were asleep I didn't want to bother. " Killua answered while picking the first boat I folded tearing it apart.

"Hey! I worked hard on that!" I whined as I stole the two pieces of tissues in his hands.

"Everything breaks into pieces..." He trailed off as he stared deeply into my eyes with his blue orbs as the wind past through us.

"I wouldn't say that-"

"Here are your orders!" I was cut off when the waitress before dropped our orders as the smell of the food lingers in our noses making us crave.

"Lets talk about that later!" We then dig in. Just as I was about to eat a spoonful of cake, a girl suddenly tossed her drink on me on purpose.

"Great" i mumbled as I get some tissues to wipe off some juice.

"Oops sorry I got tripped" The blonde girl act as she waved her left hand towards me like she was sorry.

"Its okay, Killua I'm just gonna go to the restroom for a minute" I get my purse and walk out from the scene avoiding contact from people who's watching as I heard the blonde and Killua talked. I went to the girls restroom and thank God no one is around and slammed it close.

I opened my purse to find something that can dry me off. I found a water absorber towel (like it exist😏) and cleaned my bottom dress and my lap dry off. As I finished I looked in the mirror and stare at myself feeling obnoxious.

'Who was that girl anyway...Did they know each other?I think she did that on purpose...Whatever the reason was I just know she doesn't like me.' I thought. I brushed my hair to the side ,and put on some light foundation and light lipstick to make me look presentable like nothing happen.

After I'm done, I slowly reached for the doorknob and slowly twisted it. It feels like it was it slow motion when it opened revealing a certain silver boy with deep ocean blue eyes as the wind past through us, our hair flew by the wind.

"Oh Killua, sorry for waiting!" I said breaking the silence as he grabbed my hand and dragged me out the cafe with a bag on his other hand.

"W-wait, where are we going?" I tried asking as I was trying to keep on his pace. I almost got tripped on something when Killua caught me by holding onto me by the waist.

"T-that was close, thanks" I got out of his grip and dust myself trying to figure out what happened while I was gone cause I didn't get to eat like! I was freaking hungry!

"Sorry" I turned around and saw Killua looking at the ground with his bangs covering his eyes.

"Why were we running away? And you guys were talking, what was that about?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Lets talk about this at the park" he finally said as he looked up again with a forced smile on his face. Whatever this talk was about, I know that its not good.

We finally arrived at the park after our 5 minutes walk from the cafe since its not that far away.

I sighed as we sat on the bench that's facing a lake with the sunset in view. I just remembered I hadn't eaten yet since that accident earlier was the cause, Im hungry!

"Here,you didn't get to eat last time at the cafe so I asked the waitress to pack it up." He explained while handing to me a a plastic bag with the sweets we ordered inside. What a relief!

"Whew thanks! Lets eat!" I grabbed the parfait in a plastic box and the chocolate shake and placed it on my lap and put the rest of the plastic bag beside me.

"I already ate mine so dig in" he commented." So about that.." He trailed off as soon as I put a spoonful in my mouth, I couldn't reply and just hummed in response.

"She's my EX" I almost choked when he said that before I could swallow the cold substance.

"She's your what?" I spatted as I leaned my ear towards him playfully.

"You? Got a girlfriend? Your kidding" I joked but when I looked at him he was goddamn serious!

"Okay, keep talking" I trailed off as I drank my shake continually.

"She WAS my girlfriend but we were just forced into it. It wasn't my decision." He spatted back as he crossed his arm and closed eyed chin up.

"But you did like her, did you?" I looked down not wanting and wanting to hear his answer. If he says No that would be a relief. Jf he says Yes...I dont know...

"I did" there it goes... Im so stupid for asking... "She was the only girl who made me smile back then" He trailed off as he watch the sunset in view and smiled.

He's still in love. I knew I didn't have a chance, I'm better off as his best friend only. Though Im still sad, I feel heartbroken. He was right, everything breaks. Killua was right.

"We should go now, we didn't tell Gon that we'll be gone at the hotel" I sloppily thew my garbage in the trashcan and nodded.

"Lets pass by the bridge, its more near that way" again he grabbed my hand and dragged me away from our spot through the bridge. I stared at our hands in sadness, all of those things we did together was nothing but just as friends to him. And then I stared at the back of his head. I always fall behind from the others, no one appreciates me.

I was so sad and disappointed I stopped right before we were supposed to pass by the bridge.

"Whats wrong?" He let go of my hand and took a step at the bridge. The feeling of warmth that i felt was gone, now turned into pure sadness and cold.

"I...I'm afraid of bridges" what am I talking about? Oh yeah...Im so sad that I don't know anymore.

"Oh you're scared? Don't be, Im here" That's why, because you're here, Im scared because I can't go with the rest of you.

"Just hold my hand"

As he reached his hand towards me, the feeling inside me got worse. My body is moving on its own as my hand reached and hold his hand.
