Faith. What a sweet girl.

Bummer you dumped her, huh?

——————————————

Faith groaned as he leaned on the counter. Axel, a boy around her age, and one of her best friends, raised an eyebrow. "You look like you got ran over by a truck. What happened this time.." He finished wiping up a cup, glancing around the bar they worked at, then walked over to Faith.

She sighed, wiping her red eyes. They were puffy, and she had dark eyebags. "You, once again." She scowled to herself. "What do you think it would be, Mr. Smart Guy?"

Axel shrugged. "Taxes?"

Faith's scowl deepens. She smacked Axel's arm. "Asshole."

Axel raised his hands in a surrendering gesture. "Damn, who pissed in your cereal." He mumbled under his breath, before sighing. "It's not the end of the world, Fae."

She glared at him. "So easy for you to say, huh? Shits not bad for you and Sunny. You're perfectly happy with your perfect boyfriend that worships you and your every move. Fuck off."

And with that, she just left to go to the bathroom, leaving a shocked Axel behind the bar counter.

————————————

She splashed her face with cold water. Snap out of it, Fae. You're better than this.

She wanted to apologize to Axel. He was just trying to help—

Eh. Fuck it.

She hid in the bathroom for a bit longer, mostly just thinking about you. She loved you. She missed you.

I guess the lords up above were on her side today. Or maybe they were cursing her with a blessing in disguise. Because you'd never guess who walked into the bathroom at that moment.

Well, you don't need to guess. It was you, after all.

Faith's beloved you.
