A metallic beep rang through the lonely apartment as Hatsuharu Sohma lay on his bed, listening to the message playing back on his phone for the thousandth time.
It was the only way he could hear her voice... that's why he hadn't changed it. Even thought it had been two months since she had left him. The eighteen year old sighed, running his hand through his soft white hair. Why couldn't he get over her? The curse was broken, he could date whatever girl he wanted. So why didn't he? Why did he keep hoping that she'd walk into his apartment one day and say that she was wrong for dumping him, that she still loved him?
He glanced over at the crappy radio sitting on the windowsill. A sappy love song was playing. Actually, the CD was made up of love songs, ones that reminded him of what he had lost. The one that was currently playing happened to have been their song, the one they always danced to. A tear rolled down his cheek as he remembered her long black hair, her stunning eyes, and the way they used to kiss...
Damn! Why couldn't he just forget? Why did he have to endure all this pain?
He staggered upright and headed towards the fridge, knocking over dozens of beer cans in the process. As he popped the top on a new can of beer, he saw the calendar stuck to the wall and choked back a sob. The calendar showed the month as July even thought it was September. July 15 was circled, little hearts surrounding it.
Their anniversary.
And the day she tore his heart in two.
He couldn't help it, he let the tears flow. Waking up to see her next to him in bed, kissing her beautiful lips, listening to her talk... he missed her. She had been the one bright thing in his life. Now that that light was gone, he could die.
"I hate you. I don't need you."
Why... why did she leave him? Why couldn't he get over her?
He stumbled again, beer slopping over the side of the can and onto the surrounding carpet. Staggering over to the bed, he groaned and fell onto the blanket and pillows. Memories flooded his mind as he passed out and he whispered one word...
"Rin."
I've now turned this into a series! Hope ya like it!
