I'm holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say, but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry, didn't think I'd turn around, and say (that)

"It's too late to apologize (it's too late) "
I said, "It's too late to apologize (it's too late) "

Eisuke's Room

Eisuke couldn't believe what Hitomi was saying, "You what?"

She was a sobbing mess sitting on the edge of the bed they shared together. She had just told the love of her life that she had been unfaithful to him.

"I-I'm so sorry, Eisuke." she sobbed, her makeup streaking black lines down her pale cheeks.

Eisuke was now pacing the room, his anger apparent in every movement. He couldn't even look at her. His body felt numb, he felt out of control with anger. However, through his anger, he knew that he was capable of anything with the rage inside of him.

He needed Hitomi gone. Gone before he did something he would regret for the rest of his life.

Eisuke stopped pacing, and turned sharply toward the girl, swallowing hard with a hard expression on his face.

"Get your things, and get out." he orders coldly.

The hysterical girl looks up in shock,"No, please! Eisuke, it was a mistake-"

"I said, get out! Get out now!" he roars, causing her to shrink back in fear. Eisuke's face was like a stone tiger. He was intimidating and absolutely terrifying.

His heart twinged with pain as he saw the fearful look on her face. He turns his back on her, unable to take the pain and fear reading over her face.

Hitomi silently, and quickly gathers a few things and leaves before Eisuke does anything more to her


Eisuke's Office

"You're fired."

Eisuke looked at Hitomi with stone cold eyes as she stood before him with her manager.

Hitomi stared at him in shock, not able to understand or believe what she was hearing.

"Y-you can't do this, Eisuke!" she pleads, she couldn't lose her lively hood over this stupid mistake.

"That's Mr. Ichinomiya!" He snaps, his glare as cold as ice.

The girl knew that Eisuke was reacting out of his pain. She had severely hurt him, and now he knew how to hurt her back, tenfold. But that still didn't stop the tears from coming.

"Eisuke, please, I lov-" she was cut off by Eisuke.

"Give me a moment alone with the girl." Eisuke orders her manager out, to which he quickly leaves as told.

Eisuke glowers at her severely, saying nothing as she stands in the middle of his office shaking. Hitomi was wracking her brain wildly, trying to figure out a way to make him understand.

"May I speak?" Hitomi asks, the words sting her heart sharply, it had been five years since they starting dating, and now they are back at square one, asking permission to speak over a stupid, drunk mistake.

Eisuke says nothing for a moment, then concedes, "You have one minute."

"Eisuke, I never meant for this to happen. I was drunk and stupid." she pleads, however, Eisuke immediately interrupts.

"Enough excuses. You're done. Get out." he orders coldly.

Tears well in her eyes, "Please, Eisuke, please understand-"

"No, I understand completely." he roars, slamming his hands on his desk. He stands so fast, it knocks his chair to the ground, "I understand that what we had was a complete lie, that it meant nothing to you. And I will be damned if I allow a whore like you mooch off of my company."

Hot tears flow freely from Hitomi's eyes, her body trembling from the pain in her heart. She says nothing further, the girl's throat clenched so tightly as she suppress her sobs. Even though his anger tears her heart apart, she doesn't regret telling him. He deserved to know, and she foolishly thought their love was strong enough to survive the blow.

Her heart breaks as he turns from her to look out the window, and says, "Now get the fuck out of my office."

Hitomi squeezes her eyes shut, her lip quivering from the intense blow. She finds her strength and walks forward toward his desk. The heart broken girl silently place the ring he had given her all those years ago on the dark wood before turning and walking out the door.
