Listen to Me
By: Shippo-chan
I sat up quickly, waiting for the sound of the window unlocking.
Click.
And here she comes again, worrying as usual. I stretch out my hand and grasp hers pulling her up and off of the ladder and onto the roof. Casually she sits down and stares at her feet, unable to find her voice. She glances at me, sees that I'm waiting and begins to stutter.
"K-Kyo…umm…I-I'm sorry if I'm intruding b-but today at dinner y-you seemed upset a-and I was just wondering if you wanted to talk about it. I-I MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE TO! It's just…" she glances at me, "…you seemed like you wanted…to say something."
I stare at her for a long time. That goofy grin of hers graced her face, her way of relieving the tension. And then I start to laugh. Really, like a maniac. And then the tears begin to flow, and the laughing…stops. There's nothing but anguish. I start to cry like a little kid. I pull at my hair and sob uncontrollably.
"I did! I did okay? But I'm not going to say it anymore! No one's gonna listen!"
My breath comes out in short gasps and my eyes wonder over to her. I'm shocked as her frail hands reach out for me. She grasps my head in her two hands and hugs me to her chest. That's when I hear her.
"I'll listen."
Please stay tuned. There hopefully will be a sequel. Please tell me if I should continue.
Thank you all and please review.
