Disclaimed.
For AoGA. I love you guys. :)
"What happened to forever?"
"I guess forever just ended."
"Please tell me you're joking! You don't love her!"
"If there's someone I don't love, it's you. Can't you understand that? It's over. We're done."
"You can't leave me, Natsume! We're engaged. You promised me forever! You can't leave me!"
-.-
His head snapped up, his eyes tired and groggy. He fell asleep again.
He stared lazily at his laptop with his hand resting on his cheekbone and the other placed on top of the keyboard.
Things were getting a little bit rough for him with work and his upcoming wedding. It was all too much for Natsume to handle and the pressure was starting to build up. He needed to breathe and apparently, he needs sleep, too.
He stood up and went to the bathroom, turned on the faucet and let the cold water flow on his palms. They were trembling. He brushed his hair and leaned his hands on the sink, looking at his reflection in the mirror.
What was happening to him? He felt like he screwed up. Something is wrong. He couldn't think straight. His mind is always wandering off somewhere, be it to Mikan, his parents or even for the preparation of the wedding.
Just then, he heard his phone ringing. He turned the faucet off, closed the bathroom lights and then the door. When he got to his desk, his eyes widened a bit at the caller.
At first he rejected the call and put back his phone inside the drawer, hoping not to have another ring. But it did. It rang again but this time, he answered it.
"I thought it was clear that-" He was cut-off by the caller. Her voice was icy, full of hatred, apathetic.
"Hello, Natsume. Na-fu-me! Hef me!"
He heard muffled noises from the background and he swore he heard his name. But that voice. It was Mikan's voice. He couldn't be wrong. It was her voice! He banged his fist on the table and his eyes were furious.
"Fuck. What did you do to her?"
He heard her laugh and it wasn't so pleasing to hear.
"Whatever do you mean? What did I do to her? Natsume, dear, I just wanted to get to know her better. I want to know the people you're acquainted to. Is that too much?"
"Why are you doing this? What did she ever do to you, Sumire?" He said through gritted teeth.
"What did she ever do to me? She stole everything from me! My happiness, my future, you! She's a selfish person, Natsume! How could she not see how much I loved you?"
"She didn't steal anything from you. I chose to love her. You just won't accept it."
"What are you saying? You love me, I know you do. You're just saying that because you pity her."
Sumire almost sound desperate. At the back of her mind, she was still hoping, begging for him to come back to her.
"Where are you?"
"What, so you could get her, marry her, have a million babies and live happily ever after? That's not going to happen. Not on my fairy tale."
His patience was running low. He was afraid what Sumire might do to Mikan. He needed to reach them, to get Mikan and keep her safe and he needed to do this fast.
"Just tell me where you are and we'll talk. Don't do things you'll regret!"
"Find me…quick. That is if you'll still make it on time."
His eyes caught sight of his car keys and his hand moved to grab it. Then, the line went dead.
R and R :)
