I've never felt so alone.

My room's warm as I lay on the comforter of my bed, head propped up with a pillow while aimlessly scrolling through my phone. There are only a few minutes until Valentine's Day and I'm wearing a dress with matching heels with absolutely nowhere to go. My earrings match my necklace to accompany my outfit as I anxiously wait for it to turn midnight. I don't have any plans, but I decided that I still needed to dress up for this lonely event.

I haven't seen Eren since the day after Mikasa's party when we woke up in a sweat while our bodies were pressed up together. I immediately left after placing a kiss on his forehead, not knowing if he felt it or not. There have been absolutely no texts sent between us, but it doesn't really matter, I guess. I chose to take a break from him so it's not like I expected us to do anything for Valentine's Day.

On the off chance that I do see him, I got him an expensive pair of blue and white Air Jordan 1 Retro High sneakers. They were expensive, but I know that he'd love them and he's been wanting a pair for a while.

I also had the chance to freshen up, just in case we do see each other sometime tomorrow, but I doubt it. I'm left alone to fantasize about him because I'm too stubborn to stop the break from our relationship.

I stare at the small clock on my phone, I watch the small numbers switch from 11:59pm to 12:00am, officially marking the day as February 14th. I can't stop imagining what it would be like to spend the day with him. Loving each other as a whole while sharing our bodies in intimate places, reciprocating our love. Maybe we'd do something cute like go on a picnic or watch the sunset together, maybe just lay in bed all day and talk about ourselves and plan out some solution to the inevitable future.

My thoughts are quickly interrupted once the sound of my doorbell echoes throughout my house. It's probably my parents coming home from their date. I throw my legs off the bed to sit up on the mattress, lifting myself up to walk over to my open door and quickly head downstairs. I listen to my heels tap against the wooden floor as I walk over to the door, quickly grabbing ahold of the doorknob to twist it while pulling it open.

To my surprise, I'm greeted by Eren's mesmerizing eyes with a closed smile on his face. His face is cleanly shaven with his hair pulled back in his infamous messy bun. He has diamond earrings on with our promise ring hanging from his neck. I quickly look at his outfit as he checks out mine, a white button-up that's not tucked into his denim jeans that perfectly hug his thighs, with a pair of white sneakers to go with it. With one whiff, I can smell his strong cologne with the faint scent of weed as well, noticing his hands holding a bouquet of pink and red roses, and a heart-shaped box of chocolates with a silver watch around his wrist.

"Were you expecting me to come over," he asks with a chuckle while his eyes quickly glance down at my outfit before locking with mine.

I nearly stutter over my words while explaining myself, "No– I–" I move my eyes away from his, "I thought that I was spending today alone, so I got dressed up for myself."

"You did a good job," he says while holding out the flowers and box of chocolates in my direction.

I had one strand of hope left that he'd show up and I ended up manifesting his arrival. Looking at the beautiful flowers, I reach my hands out to grab my gifts. His hand reaches for mine to grab onto as his smile grows into an even bigger one.

"My room is messy," I let out a sigh while leaving the front door open, turning around to walk over to the coffee table in the living room to grab his present. I'm sure he came over to have sex.
