No One's POV:

1 Year Later....

The small little town was quiet this morning, nothing but the dark obsidian sky and light stars were seen. It had been a year since anything really happened that was interesting, now it was just quiet and peaceful, kinda boring. A (y/h/c) colored woman was working on a little paper that was assigned in one of her classes to which she found less appealing, it was a little essay that asked about writing what she had done over the winter and summer breaks. Her mind raced with the many stories she could write down or tell others, but she chose to keep them a secret for obvious reasons.

'No one would believe me.'

She let out a deep sigh before setting down the paper in front of her, deciding to write it down on paper since she had no money for a laptop. That is why she decided to get a part-time job at/a (Part-time/job), it didn't pay much but it helped even just a little bit. Deciding to finally leave, (Y/n) gets up from a chair that sat in the public library of the town. After grabbing everything she had and putting it in her bag, she heads out of the library and onto the sidewalk to her next destination. While walking, she takes in the beautiful night sky that lay above her. The stars were brighter tonight, it's been a while since she's seen them like this. The world seemed to be more darker than it was about a year ago without a certain someone by her side, memories came across her mind while thinking back all those days and weeks ago. Even if she was in danger a lot back then, (Y/n) still wouldn't have changed it. Especially if she couldn't see him again, the pain in her heart seemed to come back to her.

"Damn feelings, I hate them."

She whispered to herself while clenching her chest, right over her aching heart. Holding her tears in, she continues walking the pathway. The only thing lighting her way was the moonlight and a couple street lamps that covered the sidewalk, it was a chilly night, causing her to shiver. Stopping under a street lamp, she grabbed her backpack on her back and opened it to the bigger part of it. A familiar cooling smell eroised from within the backpack that sent shivers down her spine with delight, reaching into the bag, she pulled out a familiar blue sweatshirt. The clothing was a little worn out from the year but she didn't mind, it brought her comfort...A sense of belonging to be in the other's arms that owned the jacket. Though it was a little strange, she lifted up the sweatshirt to her nose and sniffed it. The smell of fresh rain in the morning still lingered on it, though you would think it would be gone after a year.

"I miss you.."

The words seemed to strike a cord because a tear subcutaneously fell from her glossy eye, she quickly wiped it away and put the sweatshirt over her head and over her freezing body. The sweatshirt quickly warmed up her body, (Y/n) let out a sigh of satisfaction before heading into her intended direction.

(Timeskip to a graveyard brought to you by BAB:3)

The sounds of wind brushing against the trees filled the quiet air, it would be sleuthing if the reason she was here wasn't so heart-wrenching. The entrance to the graveyard was a little rusty from age but it still stood tall, the sign read, "(Town Name)'s Cemetery." (Y/n) stared at it for a couple seconds before dropping her gaze onto the little stone graves that laid on the ground, memories flooded her mind about who she wanted to visit. It took her awhile before finally finding the grave of who she wanted so badly to talk to after the year they've been apart, it almost seemed like it was a dream. Getting closer and closer to the grave seemed to get harder and harder, as if her body got heavier and heavier with each step. The grave was now only a foot away before she stopped in her tracks, the smell of fresh daisies lay at the foot of the grave.
