I decided to go for a little walk before going back home.
Who knows, maybe it would have helped me clear my mind a little.
...No, that wasn't it.
I didn't want to return home just yet, I knew I would have started crying in the moment my parents asked me about my day. I didn't want them to see me like this, not because they would have gotten mad at me or anything, but...I've already bothered them enough with my problems regarding other people.

I turned off my phone, I wanted to feel completely on my own, without even the sound of various notifications interrupting all the thoughts that filled my mind.
The streets were full of people laughing and having fun together, all that noise almost made me sick, I wanted to get away from it as much as possible.

Without even noticing, I was back in that exact seafront. The calmness and ease that it used to give me was now replaced by a bitter feeling that made me feel even worse.
I wanted to curse that place, none of this would have happened if I we just went somewhere else. It was its fault that-

...What the hell are you doing, Y/N?
Are you seriously getting mad at a seafront? Just how pitiful can you be?

I leaned against the small stone wall that separated the road from the beach, putting my face between my hands while I felt my breathing getting heavier as I started sobbing out loud. If someone passed by they would have probably thought that I was insane.

I could hear some people whispering something to each other as they noticed me, probably not very nice things.

"Mommy, why is that lady crying so much?"
"She probably just broke up with her boyfriend, girls at her age are always overdramatic"
"But...she looks very very sad"
"Don't worry honey, I'm sure her friends will console her"
"But why is she all alone then?"
"She's most likely waiting for them to arrive. Can you promise me you won't be as sensible as her when you're her age?"
"...B-But..."
"Come now, that girl will be fine"
I highly doubt either of us believed to those words.

Maybe...maybe this was for the best.
I mean, it's not the first time someone I put my faith in left me, it's just an average experience for me! Another person to add to my collection, that's probably going to become bigger and bigger!
Isn't that lovely? Isn't that cool?
Did I seriously learn nothing from my mistakes? Getting attached so someone is always the wrong option, why can't my brain just understand that?!

The sun had set, maybe it was time to go home. I wiped away my tears and turned my phone on, at least I didn't have any missed phone calls from my parents.

Half an hour later, I was back at my place. I walked inside trying to look as relaxed as possible, I still didn't know whether to tell them about what happened or not.

"Hi Y/N! You came back later than usual, long day at work?"
"N-No...I um...went for a walk"
"On your own?"
"Yeah..."

My parents looked at each other with a worried expression, did they-?

"D-Do you have to tell us something?"
"..."
"Dear, maybe we should tell her"
"No, we talked about it"
"Tell me what?"
"Listen Y/N, we can't-"
"Tell me what?"
"...So he didn't say anything about it?"
"Dad, I don't know what you nor mom are talking about"
"Honey, I think we know what happened...But he had a good reason to-"
"YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS?!"
"N-No! Y/N, we know you're sad but-"
"But what? You're taking his side, how do you expect me to feel? "He had a good reason", and what could this reason be?"
"We...We can't tell you"
"...So I can't trust my own parents now?"
"Honey, we're just trying to keep you safe!"
"WHAT'S THE POINT OF KEEPING ME SAFE, IF I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE PROTECTING ME FROM?!"
"P-Please calm down, you can't-"
"See you two right now, I'm going to my room, please don't try to come in"
"Y/N-"
