The first month of our relationship, we had fifteen dates.

The second month was narrowed down to seven dates.

The third month was three dates.

The fourth month, I'm currently still waiting as tomorrow is officially the end of this month.

Ten's visits to my apartment narrowed down over the last few months. If he visited twice a month, that was considered a lot!

We had built a strong foundation in the first month but everything seems like it's slowly dismantling.

"Is that what you're wearing?" Ten asked through our new way of conversing, videocall.

"You don't like it?" I questioned lowly like a disobedient child answering her dad.

"No! How many times have I said not to  wear dresses that are above your knees? Are you not happy with me? Are you trying to impress someone else?!" Ten yelled.

"I'm sorry, and no, I would never do that to you" I replied with as my tears were threatening to fall. Luckily,  Ten was too angry to continue so he ended the call at the right time.

Dropping to my feet, I let my tears wash over my state.

"Isn't he the cutest?!" I squealed, looking over at San.

"I've seen better!" San piped, staring at me.

Slapping at his arm playfully, he asked "Are we going to see your grandmother after this?"

Nodding, I rushed over to the little garden to get some freshly picked carrots for the little bunny I had been investing my time in, Frisky.

Glancing over at San, his knees on the floor as he patted Frisky's head softly.

°°°

Meanwhile San was deep in conversation with Frisky "You're after my girl too?"

He giggled at his words, rubbing the bunny's head before saying "Better keep your distance, baby boy"

Moving over to them, I heard San yelped "He bit me!" And soon after, Frisky rushed over in my direction innocently.

Kneeling down to him, both San and I spent a bit more time before leaving for the day.

"Is he your boyfriend?!" My grandmother asked as she looked over at San.

"No-" I was interrupted when she let out "He should be though! Don't let this one get away"

Laughing at that, I glanced around only to realize the amount of older women admiring San.

"Hold his hand, I wanna see something" my grandmother said and with wide eyes, I said "Grams-"

My words got stuck in my throat when I felt the softness of his hands grasping mine.

Looking over at him, I couldn't help but to get lost in his eyes for a few seconds until my grandother said "Yeah, he's a keeper! Plus everyone's jealous here!" As she gestured over at the ladies in the home.

"Don't ruin this for us, y/n! We deserve some eyes candy too!" One of the woman shouted and I quickly removed my hand from his, remembering Ten, my boyfriend.

I had no clue why a sudden nervousness was striking me.

°°°

"We spent the entire day together and you have yet to tell me why you asked me to join you today"

"I-i just needed a friend" I said.

San decided not to question that.

Pulling up into my driveway, I thanked him before stepping inside. San ensured that I was inside before driving off.

Closing the door behind me, I sweat nervously as a hand comes in full contact with my face.

"For fucks sake!"

Ten's figure cornered mine as he hissed "Such a fucking slut! I skip practice just to come see you and- fuck it!"

With that, he left.

Rushing to my room, I slammed the door behind me as I dropped to the ground in tears once again.

I deserve this...

I deserve this...

Ten would never hit me if he wasn't angry....

He only did it because it's what I deserve...

I was trying to convince myself that this is what I needed. I was the one that went out with San, I hadn't even asked Ten if he would be okay with it.

I was inconsiderate.

The outcome of this was only my fault, I was the only one that needed to be blamed.

Tears rushing out of my eyes like a hurricane washing over a sunshine.

I couldn't help but to let it out.

I wrapped my hands around my knees as my body rocked slightly forward then backward as I chanted to myself.

"It's my fault... I deserve this!"

It's like I'm trying to convince myself...

Ten is a good person, he would never hit me in his righted mind. He was angry and he had every reason to be angry at a low thinking human like myself.

Right?!

My thoughts carried me into a world of depression and before I knew it, my eyelids greeted each other as I fell asleep.

°°°

The morning comes around quickly and as I'm standing infront of the body length mirror, I hear myself say "The only thing I need to do is not let San see this"

Pausing at that, I let my hand graze the reddened mark, the bruised spot. Ten was wearing rings so it makes it even worse now that I look at it.

"It's nothing that a little makeup can't fix...right?"

Speaking of fixing, Ten crossed my mind and I said once again "I'll fix this then I'll call and apologize to Ten"

It's the least I could do...right?!
