[OP] ?? Seven Letters ?? [Ace x Reader] AU

?? [ Friday] ?? Part 2

The entire way, we both remained quiet. Before I slammed the door of the car, I had caught a glimpse of her phone and how she swiftly responded to a message. Her phone afterwards buzzed a couple of times, but her gaze stayed on the streets.

"You love him...don't you?"

The slow process in my mind immediately accelerated. With cow eyes, I stared at her in disbelief.

"How did you know?" I had trouble swallowing the plum that knotted in my throat.

"It was obvious, Y/n. But...you were hurting." She gripped the steering wheel. "I'm so sorry Y/n... For not helping you." Robin screwed up her face. "I'm so sorry."

"Robin, I'm confused...How..." "But you should have stayed and listened to him."

"Huh?" Slacked, I shifted in my place.

"For three weeks I tried to figure out what was happening with you. And then he reached out to me."

"Ace?"

She nodded in confirmation. "He informed me of his mistake. Ace begged me to take good care of you, while he was trying to recollect himself."

"..."

"Tomorrow," Her voice was hard again, more determined. "You'll speak to him. You need to. Please. Do it for me."

So she knew...Who else was aware of my problem? What did he say to her? Did he explain the whole story? Or the partial, shortened version?

"Don't be angry with me. I know it wasn't the right thing to do...But you stayed tranquil. You refused to speak to others. At least this way...I knew you were alright."

"I don't blame you...I mean...I should be furious right now...But I don't have the energy to blame you. Excluding the secretiveness, you did it cause I was all messed up. I get it. However...Why? Why? Why, dammit!"

My hands caught my entire face into a hold as I leaned closer to the seat. "Why, dammit?" I cried. "I tried for so long to forget him. I even went out with other guys. Attempted to make him...what? Jealous? Nevertheless, I always caught him with numerous girls-flirting, hugging them...Then throwing all of it in my face!" I took a deep breath. Everything that was bottled up inside me, was now free.

"I was even prepared to be nicer to him when we first met. But he ignored my struggling. Embarrassing me in front of others, rejecting me before I could even confess? And now he is toying with me?"

"What if he is not toying with you?" Robin reached to her pocket and handed me a tissue. "He has another performance tomorrow. Saturday. With his band. My advice to you...as a friend...is to go. You have nothing more to lose."

I blew into the white cloak. "Now, stop with the sentimental tears." She smiled. "Your boogers will smear the new leather in my car. I tell you, it was expensive as hell."

I rammed my hands through the twirled locks of loose hair, now chuckling. "Ok. But only...If you..."

"Go with you? You bet."

"Thanks."

Thanks again.

You are just saying that cause you are considerate.
