Secret Crush

PROLOGUE “Mikasa, you were traumatized.” “We didn’t lie to you. You lied to yourself.” I-i lied to myself?  “You told yourself a story, because you were traumatized.” H-how? How did this happen? I covered my ears “You were too scared- too scared to think about the gunshots. Your Father.” “You were young- too young to have experience that.” “We wanted to tell you the truth about your Father, but we couldn’t find a way to open the topic.” Bang! “Mikasa, watch out!”  Huh? I opened my eyes and saw a guy a few meters from me pointing a gun at me. Everything was in slow motion, I didn’t know what to do. The unexpected turn of events was making my mind confused. The lies. The secrets. Why are they doing this? I suddenly felt something wet on my chest. I looked at my chest and saw blood. I felt numb, everything seemed quiet. And just like that, I fell to the ground. I could feel that a pool of blood was forming around me and soaking my clothes with blood. “Mikasa,” someone called. “I’m sorry, I couldn’t protect you. Please, stay with me.”
