C8 A night

Von POV

I hung out on the rooftop of the hotel for a beer. I'm still disappointed that I didn't see Lit earlier at their house. I thought I would see her right away.

I sighed, why did Lit take so long to come back to me? She said that after 5 years we will meet and when we meet we will plan our wedding.

I miss her so much.

"Von." I turned to the one who call me. Aphrodite.

She smiled and approached me.

"Why are you still awake?" I asked. I thought she was asleep so I didn't offer her to accompany me to drink here.

"I can't sleep," she replied and sat down next to me.

"You must have forced yourself to sleep, you must be tired today," I said while looking in front of me.

She did not answer so the surroundings became quiet.

"How bout you, why are you drinking here alone?" She asked.

"I'm just on a trip to drink," I replied and took a beer then offered it to her. She refused.

She looked at the sky while smiling.

"She's lucky." She said suddenly so I look at her. She smiled as she looked up at the sky but it was obvious in her eyes that she was hurting.

I just kept quiet because I didn't know what to say to her.

"What are you going to do when you see her?" She asked and turned to me.

I averted my eyes.

"Many," I replied and smiled.

"First I will hug her tightly. Second, I will kiss her on the lips, and third, we talk about our wedding." I added. She didn't answer so I looked at her. It was obvious in her eyes that she was hurting.

She smiled at me and it was obvious that she was trying to hide the pain.

"Do you love her?" She asked. I nodded.

"Why did you split up?" She asked. I was just looking at her face, I was reading if she was a masochist because even though she knew she would be hurt, she still asked the question of the things that would hurt her.

"Five years ago, after the trouble that happened between Clementine and Fin, Creed first came out to treat Clementine. Then Van and I followed Creed to help him treat Clementine. Before I left, she said goodbye to me when we came out. that after she came out of Vampire high, she will go home to her family first because she misses them so much. She also promised that she will come back to me but until now, she is still gone. "I said. A long silence enveloped the surroundings.

"Why did you think to look for her?" She asked while looking to the front.

I first drank the wine I was holding then answered her question.

"The watch she gave me, the hand stopped moving." My answer. She looked at me.

"She said when the hand of that watch stopped. Someone else was making her happy." I added, my chest tightening as I remembered the clock that the hand stopped moving. I couldn't help but think that maybe she was happy with the others now and she forgot me.

"What if someone else made her happy, what would you do?" I turned to Aphrodite because of her question.

What am I going to do?

I can't answer. I just swallowed and thought. What would I do if that were true?

"I do not know," I answered and looked at the sky.

"I'm sure when she sees you. She'll be happy and cry because she sees you again." I looked at Aphrodite.

"Do you see what will happen in the future?" I asked. She turned to me and nodded in response.

"Do you see that tomorrow we will see Lit?" I asked. She just looked at my face as if she was answering with her mind. I wanted to read her mind but I couldn't. She blocked me.

"No." She replied. "I can't see what will happen tomorrow." She added and stood up.

"It's late at night, I'm going to sleep." She said and turned away.

"Aphrodite," I called so she stopped walking and kept her back to me.

"Why are you hurting yourself this way?" I ask. She did not answer.

She turned to me and I saw her smile.

"Loving includes being hurt." She replied and put a hand on her head.

"I just let myself love you and hurt myself until I get tired and fed up." She added a reason to swallow me.

"Maybe when I'm tired, I'll stop too." She said and smiled.

"I'm going to sleep, Von. Let's meet tomorrow." When she said that, she ran away from the rooftop. I was left alone sitting here looking at the road she had taken.

I drank the beer I was holding and then shifted my gaze to the sky.

I don't want to get hurt, I have no intention of getting hurt. I didn't want to hurt Aphrodite.

I took a deep breath and was very tight.

"If only everything could go back to normal, I would avoid meeting Aphrodite, so that she would not be hurt as is happening to her now," I whispered to myself and drank Beer again.

I stood up and approached the railings of the Rooftop then looked at the lights coming from other buildings and roads.

"Where are you Lit? I have a hard time imagining that you might have been happy with someone else and forgotten about me." I whispered and bowed.

I've been waiting for her for a long time, when will I see you again, Mon Amour?
