Everything just went silent as poppy's words rung in my head.
" never have I ever had feelings for my best friend.."
I wanted to run...just run and not look back. All in all, it was seriously a fucked up move on her end.
I don't know how long I was in my thoughts, but I am guessing quite a while. "(Y/N)? Branch?" Poppy asked.
I glanced over at Branch and he seemed in just as much shock as me, and in that moment I did the first thing I wanted to do in the first place...
I FUCKING RAN!
"W-wait (y/n)!!!" I heard Branch whisper yell to me as I jumped out of Bridgett's hair and just kept moving as fast as my legs would let me.
I don't know where I was heading, but any place was better in that moment. I felt tears roll down my face. I couldn't go back, I couldn't face the answer that I already know was gonna be revealed.
'Why did I play that stupid fucking game! Your a idiot a fucking idiot!!!' I tell to myself in my head as I duck behind a trash can in one of the alleys of Bergen town.
It takes me a moment to regain my breath, and I lean onto the wall before slowing sliding down into a sitting position, in which I hug my legs close to my body, as I I continue to sob.
I didn't know what I was gonna do next...but I did know one thing was I began to trust poppy and boy was I in the wrong for doing so. I know she didn't meant to hurt me hell she probably thought she was helping, but she don't know the horrible feeling of falling for someone knowing it just wasn't meant to happen.
"I-it's ok...it's all gonna be ok..." I whisper to myself as I start smacking my face in attempt to regain my grip on my sanity.
I do that for what felt like a lifetime before I finally began to think rationally. 'Ok (y/n) I know basically your whole fucking world was blown apart, and the one thing you didn't want to admit was out...but it ain't the end of the world' ohhh yea it fucking was.
I look around in a attempt to found out where I am. I seemed to have ran at least into the center of Bergen town, so I wasn't far from the old troll tree. 'Ok me now all we gotta do is just get the fuck out of here let them finish their mission on their own...'
I look left and right to see if any Bergen's were coming before I launched myself toward the tree. Yet, before I got there out of the corner of my eye I see Bridgett walk into some big building with the king of Bergen's.
I stop in my tracks, as I see a big smile on her face.
"Fuck...I promised her I'd be there, in case anything went wrong..." I whisper to myself.
I glance at the troll tree, then at the building. 'I am sooo gonna fucking regret this' I sigh before I change my location, and begin running to the building Bridgett walked into.
Once I got inside I silently watched the scene of Bridgett and the king in front of me, as I hid in a crack of the wall.
Apparently they are rolling on skates, 'I don't know how that would be fun?'
Yet I guess it was, cause I could feel the joy radiating off of the two as they continued to roll around the room.
As I watch to scene before me I began to think more and more about my feelings for Branch.
I wondered what would have happened if I hadn't ran away. I ended up slipping into a daydream where the scenario was different, where I actually had a bloody chance in hell, and the thought just put a giant smile onto my face.
"If I was that lucky I'd be the luckiest troll alive" I sigh.
I know sooner or later I would have to face the rejection that was to come...poppy made it that way.
Yet, that don't mean I gotta find out soon...right?
I then see the chef looking troll approach Bridgett and the king. 'Fuck' I feel my myself begin to panic at the risk of Bridgett being found out, and I slowly make my way closer so I could listen.
Yet as I made my way along the wall, I glanced back at Bridgett the king to see the chef had completely disappeared I looked around to look for her.
" looking out for someone?" I heard a evil chuckle like it was something out of a fucking cheesy fairytale.
'Nope fuck this' I thought, but it was to late as my vision went black.
