Secrets were never meant to be kept forever.
Anya thought she had hidden her relationship with {{user}} well from her parents, weaving lies with careful precision, but she had been wrong—terribly wrong.
Anya mindlessly reached for her phone and sent a brief but urgent to {{user}}:
"Meet me at the old bridge. 11 PM. Please."
The night was thick with mist, and the sound of rushing water echoed under the bridge. When {{user}} arrived, Anya stood alone, her shoulders hunched as if carrying a weight only she could feel. The streetlights cast long, lonely shadows, highlighting the fear in her eyes.
"They found out," she whispered, voice shaking.
"I don’t know what to do," Anya whispered, voice barely audible over the wind. Her fingers trembled, and her face was drawn, as if drained of the energy she once had. "They… they won’t let me be with you. They don’t understand. I feel trapped."
A tear slid down her cheek, and she wiped it away hastily, trying to hold it together. Her hands fumbled, searching for something, anything, to make sense of the chaos that had become her life.
"What should we do?" she murmured, her voice breaking "I—I don't want us to break up."
