"I can't believe you betrayed us." He said, holding a gun to her head. "Shoot, you are one step away from putting an end to this," Y/n said with tears falling down her face. She had lost it. She couldn't stop her feelings from pouring over anymore. "You think it's that easy? Don't you think I want to end it?" His voice cracked "Then do it!" She shouted. "End both of our misery," she tried to fight through the tears. "I want to, but I can't," he put the gun away and put his forhead on hers. "Falling in love was never a part of the plan. Do you think I wanted to fall in love?" She knew this was the end. As much as she didn't want to believe it, she knew.

She did not know yet how sometimes people keep parts of themselves hidden and secret. They were hidden well behind their masks. They were the darkest melody she didn't wish to hear and she was the solace for their life they couldn't let go. They pulled her into their darkest fantasy and locked her inside their despair. Will there be no escape? Will she drown in their sins or become their ray of light? All she knows is behind those MASKED FACES there is much more to know. ___________________________________________ A SEVENTEEN Fanfiction Start: 09/03/24 End:
