Y / N

I never knew how it felt to love someone so much, that you can't feel anything else unrelated to it anymore. I never knew how it felt to have your heart ripped apart mentally and physically. I never knew why we sacrificed so much for someone who didn't love us back. Until I met him.

Garroth Ro'meave.

God forbid I would ever stop loving him. Loving him had cons and pros, unfortunately, I can't choose to not love him. It's impossible. And what was more unfortunate, was that the number of cons were more than the pros. Let's start off with the pros.

One, you learn how to appreciate the times when he smiles and laughs more often.

"Garroth!" I called, frantically searching for him. The High Priest Zane was visiting, and once he had a glimpse of him, he just- ran. He ran off into these woods for some unknown reason.

Finally, I found him. He was crouched down behind a tree, while his head was buried in his hands. "Garroth?" He looked up, and saw me. His eyes were a bit puffy and red, as if he were crying. His cheeks were a bit stained with tears, which confirmed that he was crying. What was he crying about?

"Oh, uh, hey Y/N." He said, quickly wiping his face to get rid of the evidence. He was definitely crying, alright. I had known Garroth ever since he came to this village, I know how he acts and when he lies and covers things up. I had it memorized in my head already.

"Garroth, why were you crying?" I asked, my voice in a tone which sounded soft and caring.

"Y/N, I wasn't crying-" I cut him off. Seriously? Did he really just think about lying to me? Well, sucks for him then because I pretty much know 90 percent of his secrets.

"Seriously? I know you're lying."

Garroth breathed in. "Please, can we just not talk about it? It's hard to explain, and- yeah, it's a hard subject to talk about." I understood why. Something must've happened, and I decided to leave it at that. But not without making him laugh first.

"Okay then," I paused, but continued. "but- if he ever bothers you, we'll sneak into his house and steal some of his underwear,
place it in Donna's house so that Logan will find it, sniff it to know who's it is, get mad and pretty much bite him." He chuckled at that.

Oh his laugh, if only I could hear it over and over again. But unfortunately, that's not possible.

Two, you'd know how kind he is, how caring he is. You'd know how he didn't need a reason for his acts of bravery and heroics.

"Mama! I wanna go down!" Levin screamed from the tree. After Lady Aphmau built their treehouse, Levin and Malachi were playing and Levin somehow got stuck in a branch.

"Don't worry Levin! I'm gonna get you down from there!" Garroth exclaimed, so that Levin would know he was gonna be rescued soon enough.

"Gar Gar!" He cried. Garroth proceeded to go up the stairs with much velocity. He made it up to the balcony within no time, and climbed onto the part where the branches were.

And in a flash, he got Levin down.

Unfortunately, there were only 2 pros I could think of. So let's move on to the cons.

One, he's in love with Aphmau.

"Y/N, there's something I gotta tell you." Garroth said. He and I had just been talking about the war with O'khasis, and suddenly this came up.

"What is it?" I asked, curious. What was he about to say? Dozens of thoughts and scenarios ran through my head. First of all, was it negative or positive? And what was his coming statement gonna lead to? How will it affect us? More importantly, will it even affect us?

"I'm in love with Aphmau." He said.

An awkward silence filled the room, as I said, "Oh. Okay then."

Two, was that he would forever be blinded by his feelings for Aphmau that he will never notice when someone else loved him as well.

"So, Garroth," I started as we gone through our shift together. "Who are you going with to the baby shower?" I was trying to hint to him that I wanted to go with him. Maybe, just maybe, I could then confess my feelings to him. But after all, it was just a maybe.

"Oh, I guess I don't know yet. Maybe I'll ask Kawaii~Chan or someone- I don't know." He answered. Was he really not getting it? I mean, I've been trying this all week, how could he not figure it out- "or I could ask Lady Aphmau. That's an option." I could swear, my heart cracked a little bit.

Three, last, but not the least- well, maybe the least. It will pain you to see how his heart is broken because of his love for Aphmau.

"Garroth!" I cried. "Please! Open up! Tell me what's wrong!" He had remained in this state ever since he came back from the woods at Kiki's baby shower. I was worried for him, worried that something might've happened with Zane.

Everything was still silent besides my constant calling for him. I was banging on his door like a lunatic, but I didn't care. I wanted to solve whatever was bothering him.

A tear was sliding down my cheek when I finally gave up on trying to bang on the door. "Please Garroth," I said, my voice now cracking.  "I care about you. Just tell me what's wrong for once."

I heard some movements, and in a moment, a paper slid through the bottom of the door.

It's said; 'It's because of Lady Aphmau and Laurence. They were kissing in the woods.'

After all the events, I had tried everything to get over him. But something in my heart telling me not to stop. That I shouldn't give up. That I should wait for Garroth.

You know how they say that trusting your heart is better than trusting your head? Well, I'm this case, it's safer trusting the head.

A/N So.... I've been writing a lot of sad one shots lately, but that's because of something good for the peeps who enjoy Invisible To You. I'm making it into a book! (Coming soon enough on my account) *ahem* So, sad stuff was all that was in my head lately because ya know, my books have been really sad so.... Get used to it.
