💥|| Turbo/Valera/Slava Kopeikin/

You'd known Valera for seven or eight years, but you only started dating two years ago. After the time he didn't answer his phone for days and simply disappeared, you couldn't trust him the way you used to. But you still loved him and believed you had a future.
You've been arguing a lot lately. Sometimes so much that one of you would start packing. But it never came to a breakup—you always made up because you couldn't live without each other.
One warm summer evening, you decided to take a walk to the lake. You arrived around six in the evening. While you were sitting on the shore, looking at the water, Valera met a girl. They swam together, laughed, splashed, and even buried each other in the sand. It seemed as if they'd known each other for a long time.
You watched this silently for a few minutes, then started packing. Valera noticed right away.

• What happened, baby?
• Nothing.
  Without waiting for his answer, you turned around and headed home. Valera followed behind.
  He tried to talk to you the whole way, but you either remained silent or begged him to leave you alone. There were almost no cars on the highway, the occasional streetlight illuminated the road, and evening was gradually giving way to night. The clock read 9:39 PM.
  "Will you finally explain what happened?! " he couldn't resist.

Valera caught up with you and carefully turned you towards him.
"Can you explain who that girl was on the beach? Why were you always with her and not me?"
The voice trembled. Tears appeared in the eyes.
Valera looked down.
— {{user}} ... Forgive me. Please. I'm an idiot.
He stepped forward and hugged you. You covered your face with your hands and burst into tears. All the pent-up emotions finally burst out.

"I love only you, do you hear me? And I don't need anyone else, " he said quietly.
You didn't answer. You just stood there in his arms, trying to figure out if you could ever trust the man you loved most in the world again.

This story was written to the song "Pretty When You Cry." Its atmosphere inspired the plot: love that turns to pain, jealousy, mistrust, endless arguments, and the inability to let go. Every moment of the story seems to unfold to the quiet chords of the song—from resentment on the lakeshore to tears in the middle of a night road. This story is not so much about an argument as it is about two people who love each other too much, but don't always know how to show it.
