I Have To tell You
Chapter One
I wake up every morning knowing he won't be there to yell at me for being late, or to call me names. Instead I walk alone kicking the rocks beneath my feet, wishing he were here to comfort me, and to tell me everything will be ok. But it will never be the same, not in till he comes back. So now I sit on my window seat looking at the stars, and wondering if he is looking at the same ones I once saw.
"Usagi-chan are you coming with us to the Summer Festival?" Minako asked happily. "Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki will be there too! We all want you to go especially Seiya. And anyway, this will be good for you, instead of staying inside all day in your bed."
"Ok, I'll go." I said twirling the phone chord with my fingers. "Just let me get dressed first."
"Ok cool.. We' re going to meet at the arcade at noon." She said.
"Ok, I'll meet you there." I said.
"Ok, bye."
I hung up the phone and stumbled over to my closet. I pulled down the hangers with a purple skirt and a light purple tank top. I didn't really feel like going, but maybe this would take my mind of Mamo-chan for awhile.
I got dressed and sat down at my vanity. I put my hair into my usual odangos and dabbed a little bit of glitter on to my eyelids. I looked in the mirror. My eyes were red from all my crying and my skin was pale from not being in the sun. I was sad. I missed him so much, but I know he won't come back for another year or two.
My eyes started to water. A single tear fell from my eye, caressing my cheek and fell onto my lap. "Odango Atama." I cried. "Why can't I be strong?" I wiped my tears with a tissue, and put powder on my face to darken my complexion. I slipped on my shoes and went downstairs.
"Momma, I'm going to the festival with the girls, ok?" I asked putting on a little jacket.
"That sounds like a lot of fun. You can go, but please be careful." She replied.
"Ok, thanks. I'll be back later." I said and sped out the door.
The air smelled of sweet cherry blossoms, and wild flowers, as I walked through the park. I loved walking though here, it is so peaceful and so serene. But, now it's not as beautiful, as it was when Mamo-chan and I walked together and sat on our bench watching the milky orange sunset. Now it's somebody else's bench and somebody else's sunset, but the memories are mine and will forever play in my head.
I got to the arcade and sat down inside to wait for everyone. I watched the little girls play the Sailor V games and boys drive on the racing game, I remember coming here home from school and played video games, trying to stall from showing my parents my bad grades. I got sick of watching instead of playing them, so I got up and sat down at a Sailor V game. I put two tokens in and began to play.
"Usagi-chan you get better and better every time you play this game." A familiar voice remarked peering over my shoulder.
I turned around to see who it was. "Oh. Konnichiwa, Motoki." I hope he doesn't ask about Mamo-chan.
"So how's Mamoru?" He asked sitting beside me.
I pushed the pause to stop the game. "Oh, well he's fine, but I haven't talked to him for about a month, so I wouldn't really know. But last time we talked he was doing great and is having lots of fun in America."
"It's good that he likes it." He continued and glanced over at the crowded counter. "But, I have to get back to work, so I'll talk to you later."
"Ok. See you later."
"Bye." He said and walked away.
I finished the game, with the top score. I put my head down on the control panel and closed my eyes. It seemed like forever till I felt a hand on my shoulder. I lifted up my head and turned around. They were there, all with happy smiles and couldn't wait to get there.
"Usagi-chan are you alright?" Mako asked.
"Of course, I'm alright." I assured her. "Really I am."
"Ok, then let's go." She said and pulled me along.
"Where's Seiya?" I asked.
"We are going to meet them there." Rei replied.
We walked the block to the festival. Before we even got there we could see the tall Ferris Wheel turning in circles. The music could be heard for miles away and the sweet aroma of food filled the air. My mouth watered for fluffy pink cotton candy.
At the entrance girls surrounded Seiya, Yaten, and Taiki for them to sign their autographs. They noticed us and waved for us to come over and rescue them from the swarming crowd.
Rei pulled Seiya, Ami pulled Taiki, and Minako, with the help of Mako, pulled Yaten. And I was left alone to help no one. I stood alone, waiting to them to come back, and rescue me from loneliness.
"Hey cutie. Want to come with me into the festival?" A male's voice asked.
I turned around. "No, sorry I'm with my friends."
"Come on, I bet we would have lots of fun."
"No, sorry I can't."
"You're coming with me." He demanded and pulled my arm.
"Let me go, you hentai!" I shouted. "Help me!"
Seiya looked over and saw this guy pulling me with him. He stopped talking to Rei and ran over to me.
"Seiya help!" I shouted, reaching out to him with my other hand.
"Let Usagi go!" Seiya shouted pulling me away from him.
Seiya took me in his arms. It felt so much like when Mamo-chan took me in his arms and hugged me.
"Who's this your boyfriend?" The guy asked with fury.
"Yeah! So leave her alone, or I'll have to hurt you!" Seiya shouted.
My cheeks turned red. Why was he being so nice to me all of the sudden? He is nice to me, but not always so protective like this.
"Fine, it's your loss." He said and walked away.
Seiya looked down at me. "Are you alright, Usagi?"
I nodded. "Seiya, thanks for helping me." I said.
"It's no problem Odango."
I backed away and put my hands on my hips. "I told you a million times not to call me that!"
"Gomen." He said and smiled.
I turned my head to see minna standing there with smiles on their faces and making awe noises. I looked back at Seiya who was blushing. I didn't know what they meant by their noises and didn't know why he was blushing, was he embarrassed?
"Come on you two, don't have all the fun now. We still didn't go in yet." Rei said with a smirk.
"Ok." I shrugged and walked inside the festival grounds.
