Haru's P.O.V.
" Haru, there is something I need to talk to you about." Makoto said, not making eye contact with me.
' No, no I don't want him to break up with me.' ,I thought in terror, ' I love him too much.'
Makoto and me have been going out secretly for a 6 months now, but lately he has been acting very strange. He has been rejecting me every time I asked him out on the weekends, and when I would try to call him, his phone would go straight to voice mail. He wouldn't call me back until 10 pm saying he was too busy to pick up the phone. What was he doing for eight hours!? I talked about it with Rin, because he is the only one who knew about our relationship. All he did was gave a pat on the shoulder and mouthed the words ' I'm sorry'. He looked like he was gonna cry! Now, we are at my house because he wanted to talk to me privately, but is he really that nervous to break up with me. He keeps looking off to the side and rubbing his hands together. Typical Makoto, he always hated hurting people feelings.
" Haru" his voice pulled me back to reality, " I-I k-know this is s-sud-sudden " I closed my eyes, " but I-I w-want t-t-to - " Before I knew it, I yelled out the words.
" I'VE BEEN CHEATING ON YOU WITH RIN!" Then, it was quiet. I opened my eyes, when I heard something fall. The stuff I assume that were in the box fell out. ' P-promise rings? ' Next to the promise rings was a letter.
" * hic * * sniff * I-is that t-true? " I instantly looked at Makoto's face, it was covered in tears. He looked so...broken. Before I could mustered up words, he ran out of the house. I sat there in shock. Then I picked up the letter and read.
Dear my beloved Haru,
I know for the past few weekends, I've been ditching our plans on the weekends. I know that you are probably mad about it. Though the truth is I had gotten a job, and I know it would've been easier to say that to you, but it would've ruined the surprise. One day, when we were on a date. I saw these amazing promise rings and thought they were perfect for us. I wanted to get them, but not just for the looks but because of the message behind them. I know that we might not ever get married like a normal couple would, but if we just promise that we will keep on loving each other forever that will be perfect for me. I know this might be sudden and I know if we wore this out in public people will find out. But I don't care, I want to tell our friends and family that we are together. I want to show the world that you are mine and that I am yours. So if you would do me the honor of wearing these promise rings?
Love your lover Makoto.
When I finished reading the letter, my eyes were filled with tears. I looked closer at the rings and saw that one of them had an orca in the center and a green squiggly line going around the ring. ' that one must have been for Makoto'. I started looking at the other ring and saw that it had a dolphin the center of it and a blue squiggly line going around the ring. Though unlike the other ring, this one was engraved. It said ' Haru, I will always love you from the bottom of the ocean and back ' I rolled my eyes. Makoto can be so cheesy sometimes. I realized that I have to let him know the truth. When I tried calling him, he didn't pick up. I know that he will need time to calm down. So I let him have his space.
...
It has been two weeks, since I have seen Makoto at all. I walked up to Makoto's door and knocked. It was his mom that answered the door.
" Well, hello Haruka, it is nice to see you. " She smiled.
" Hello, is Makoto home? " She gave me a confused face.
" Haruka, Makoto moved to Tokyo to take care of his very ill aunt? Didn't he tell you?"
I stared at her in shock.
" H-He what? "
