Okay, so, this is my first fanfic that's based on a song. I really wanted to publish a story that's based on a song but for some reason, I can't finish it. So, I decided that I'll be updating new chapters by stanzas so that the song's lyrics won't be wasted in this story. That's all! Enjoy reading!
I don't own Ghost Hunt.
I still remember the look on your face
Lit through the darkness at 1:58
The words that you whispered for just us to know
You told me you loved me
So why did you go away?
"Mai, I love you very much - more than anything or anyone. Please let me love you and show you how much I mean it," he whispered to me, hugging me under the moon.
I broke from his hug and looked deep into his blue mesmerizing eyes. His face shone so beautifully in the moonlight and made the sight of it more breathtaking than ever. I could see in his eyes the sincerity of every word he whispered in my ear. Hearing those words from him after a long long time made me the happiest girl on Earth. I smiled that simple but happy and sweet smile that he loved so much.
"You don't know how long I waited for you, Naru. I love you too," I whispered back, pulling him in a tight embrace. He hugged me back and stroked my hair while I sobbed in joy.
I could still remember the exact time when that happened. It was 1:58 in the morning when he followed me out of the building where SPR stood after we had a fight over a simple stupid little thing. I never expected for him to follow me as he had always let me walk out on him after every arguments we had. I didn't expect that he would say those words I'd been longing to hear. I thought he'd never return the same feelings and to just give up on him. But like everyone said, he had never let us down. Had.
After that incident, he dropped me over to my apartment and kissed me goodnight. And for the first time, I saw him smile. It wasn't a smirk because I knew that smirk too well. I treasured that photographic memory of his smile because it was one of those rare smiles he only showed to me. It was too precious to be forgotten and until today, I could still remember it. Even though he was gone now, I still hoped that he'd come back and ask me to make up with him. Then, I'd accept his apology and we'd be happy together again in each other's arms.
The next day, he treated me the same way as usual; telling me how late I was and ordering me to make his favourite tea; not saying 'thank you' right after I placed his tea upon his table and smirking while I angrily stomped out of his office; scolding me and the rest of the SPR members for being loud and making his office look like some kind of coffee shop; and mocking my intelligence like I was really dumb. Those usual actions that made us seem like we weren't going out at all. It saddened me and as he noticed it, he suddenly sat next to me which startled not only me but the others. Then, he pulled my head onto his shoulder and kissed me in my forehead.
Everyone gasped when they saw what he did. And of course, I earned a glare from Masako because of it. I got so embarrassed that my face turned red like a tomato. And that was when they knew we were going out. They all stared in awe and congratulated me for finally having our narcissistic boss confessed his love to me. And when I meant all, Masako wasn't included. Because really, who would congratulate a rival when you yourself couldn't even accept the fact that your one and only love belonged to that person already. You might do it and pretend that you were happy and all because you wanted to be nice, but deep inside your heart was against it.
Our relationship grew stronger day by day that we lasted for two years. There were fights in between the love we shared but it wasn't enough to break us apart. Our love was too strong for something like that to end our relationship. And because we'd been together for that long, I knew that he was the one I would share my life with forever. I believed it so much that my world started to permanently revolve around him. Not a day passed by that I didn't think about him and yearned to see him. It would annoy him at times but he told me that he understood it because he felt the same way too.
Until one day, my worst fear came true. He went away without a word after breaking up with me and crushing my heart into millions of pieces that I couldn't even pick up myself. He didn't explain why he broke up with me and why he was going back to England. It just happened so fast that there was no time for it to sink in. My world stopped and crashed before my eyes and had me suffer from a major depressive disorder.
I lost interest in pretty much everything, which made my friends worry to death. They would always visit me and stay there, trying to talk me out of my current status. Thoughts of suicide and hallucinations of Naru being there occurred daily. Because I loved him too much, this happened to me. Not only my actions and thoughts changed but also my appearance. I looked so horrible that Monk and Ayako snapped, shouting how pathetic I had become just because I lost Naru.
At the mention of his name, I automatically looked at the two of them. My vision blurred as tears started to form in my eyes, whispering his name at first until it turned into a scream. Even Masako was there, and as far as I remember, she looked at me with pity and cried for me, too. Even though we were rivals, she sympathized with my feelings and stayed by my side during those times. She didn't abandon me; instead she comforted me with her soft voice.
And because of all of my friends' support and love, I got over my depression and started living my life again. I graduated from high school and college with the help of Ayako and Monk. I even went to the same college as Masako and became best friends with her. After that, I decided to join Monk's band and became the lead singer. I enjoyed life once again, although the scars and wounds in my heart would never heal. I always looked forward to the bright side of life and paid less attention to the negative things that happened in my life.
Someday, we'd meet again without one of us knowing it. I just had that certain feeling that brought me back to asking myself the same question I asked all these years. Why did he go away? Just thinking about that pained me. It felt like someone was pulling the pieces I glued together with great hardwork. If only I knew why he left me, I'd let him go. I only wanted to understand why, was that so much to ask?
So . . . what ya'll think? Was it boring because there weren't many dialogues? Sorry about that . . . so, I'll make sure to add more dialogues when I can, okay? It's just that while I was writing this story, the mood that surrounded me made me write about what happened to Mai during those years while Naru was gone. And it felt like I shouldn't write any more dialogues aside from the first two. Hope ya'll like it and please please please REVIEW! It's really sad when no one reviews my story. Thank you! :)
