Hi everyone! This is the first fanfiction I have ever written, I hope you like it! I do not own Kimi ni Shika Kikoenai.
Often I look back at the events of that fateful day. Maybe I should have tried harder to push Nozaki-san away, to save his life regardless of what he wanted. But life doesn't always go the way you want it to, and sometimes all you have to do is accept the hardships. Just hold the happy memories close to you, and sing thank you to the skies in gratitude for all you have been given.
I certainly am thankful for everything that Nozaki-san gave me. I don't regret having met him. He was my first real friend in the world, and while we spoke, I felt a little less alone. There are times when I still miss him, but I still remember his voice, calling through the cell phone in my head.
I used to wonder what happened to Harada-san, until I received a call a few years ago. It startled me quite a bit. The cell phone in my mind hadn't rung for years, but I had preserved it in my memory. The tone came to my mind, still very familiar. I picked up the phone and asked who it was.
"Um, uh…Sorry for calling you out of the blue. I'm not some…freak, of course." Those words from so long ago, now sounding distant and faded came through. I spoke without thinking, the words that Harada-san had once spoken to me, the words that I knew my past self needed to hear.
The Aihara Ryo had no one, and now she was finally finding me, and finding him.
It brought everything back, Nozaki, the stereo, our friendship. It all came rushing back.
As time passed I knew things were approaching that fateful day. Once I called and she didn't respond. I panicked and called several times. But I was too late, she was already on the bus, already headed on a course that would turn her into who I was today. I considered telling her to run away as soon as she got off of the bus, to do something, anything.
But I couldn't.
Nothing I could do would change time. She had to experience it. I couldn't stop her. I turned off the phone in my head, knowing I would never use it again.
She would be alright. I would be alright.
We're going to be alright.
Because we are not alone.
