A/N: Hello, so I know this isn't mind games but this one was playing some games on my mind. I heard a song that kind of gave me a certain mood so I typed this up as a result because I like exploring this side of things from time to time. I hope you enjoy this there will be 1-2 other chapters about the same length as this was meant to be a very short story.
A creak in a dark empty room drowned out by the sound of rain hitting the window with dull but audible noise. The lights were off in the room, it was better that way. As much of a cliché as it was she was glad it was raining right now. No one would be able to hear her if they came near, she was completely free to let her sorrows go. It only seemed right that she at least get this opportunity when she never got any others. The last opportunity she would get to express what she felt inside without worries about who could hear her.
She was at her wits end, she needed an escape and this room would be it. There was nothing special about this room, it was simply the only place she could think of to escape to. The rain that acted as an almost comfort had just recently soaked her clothes as she ran here. She didn't care though, it wouldn't matter for much longer as she looked back at the door to the room. It was closed just as she had thought it would be. No one was coming, that is why she came to this location.
Sachiko felt tears sting her eyes again as she looked away from the door, it held far too many memories for her. Memories she treasured but would soon be rid of as she turned her head and felt the wind from the open window in front of her. As she took steps closer she could feel the rain against her face again. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes enjoying this last moment. . .
"You won't even give us a chance!" Yumi screamed as Sachiko looked away feeling like a knife had been stuck into her chest.
"I can't tell them no, Yumi. . . I am a coward," Sachiko admitted as she felt tears run down her face. "I am sorry giving you false hope."
Sachiko felt more tears sting her eyes as she opened them and looked into the blackness that was the night outside the window. "This is it," she told herself at the thought and felt the same heartache that she had earlier that week as she put one foot up on the window sill. Tears ran down her face as she felt a mixture of hurt and now fear take hold of her.
Sachiko paused for a moment as she looked out the window before lifting herself up so she was standing in the window now looking at the pavement below. She had no cares what her family would think, she was already dead inside and they were her murderer. The only thing making her feel any emotions at all right now was remembering all the times she had spent in this room with her. All the laughter she had brought her, all the smiles they had shared, all the special moments only they knew about.
Sachiko turned to the table where she had left a note to her one true love, Fukuzawa Yumi. The very sight of it was the hardest hit her heart could ever take. She wanted to be with Yumi so badly, but she knew that wasn't an option, she was a prisoner taken by her own family and bound to live a life she would rather die than live.
Sachiko looked to the door one last time as her heart started to race and tears fell from her face mixing with the rain. One last thought of Yumi's smiling face crossed her mind causing a smile to make its way to her face before another powerful hit of sadness. "I'm sorry, I was such a coward, Yumi. . ." Sachiko said before releasing the edges of the window and letting herself fall back.
"Sachiko!" A voice shouted as Sachiko's eyes opened for one last moment before feeling the impact.
She remained still as the rain pelted her body, she couldn't feel anything. All she could do was swallow and get one last glimpse of Yumi and the terrified expression on her face as she looked out the second floor window of the Rose Mansion before everything went black.
. . . .
. . . .
Her eyes opened though everything was blurry, she was lost but not afraid, she there but she was not.
There was nothing until something appeared in front of her briefly, it was blurry, it was out of focus and when it did come into focus for brief moments she could recognize it as Yumi turning to her and smiling.
"Everything will be alright. I'm here now," a soft voice said as Sachiko felt comfort before drifting off again and letting the picture fade into the blackness.
"Come back," Sachiko said as this blackness started to feel distant. ". . .I love you, Yumi."
