Sky Blue Scramble

Prologue

I never thought this day would ever come.

First of all, I thought the reason I jumped and do pole vaults so I could follow Hotaru. But now, I realized that I always loved the feeling when my body crossed the bar. I loved it too when my body was falling to the mattress.

I feel exactly like flying at the blue sky. Close to the ground, but highly enough to catch the sky. Just like the butterflies I always seen at my hometown back then. They never fly too high because they can't be apart with the flowers. With me, as the butterfly and the mattress, as the flowers.

And then, I always thought the sky and Hotaru wouldn't leave me. But I was wrong. Hotaru always said that I shouldn't be naïve back then. The real life was really cruel, she once added. And now..., she will never gonna said that things again to me. She leaved me. She broke her promise to me. She said that we'll be always together, forever and I always believe it. But she was wrong.

Yeah, even the genius Hotaru was wrong. Like me.

My thoughts were filled by Hotaru now. The days we've been through together. The days we laugh and cry... Those days, I will never feel it again. She has leaved me, and not just me, but everybody—every single people on this planet. Hotaru has gone, and probably never come back.

I came back to the reality when I realized that I grip the top of the pole. The pole vault athletes aren't supposed to grip it when we jumped just for safety reasons. Then, I failed to cross the bar. I could hear my friends and my coach were screaming in shock when they saw me like this. My eyes were blank. I have to move my body so it won't be at wrong position when I fell on the mattress and get any injuries, but my heart talks different.

It said if Hotaru was gone, what are the other reasons for me to be a pro pole vaults athlete? What're the reasons for me to jump again? Well, I jumped because I want to be by Hotaru's side. I jumped because I like the views of sky. But Hotaru wasn't here anymore. How poor she is. Hotaru once said to me that she really enjoys the views of the sky yet she couldn't feel it again now. It's really unfair if I still jumped. We couldn't see the views together again right now. The views of the beautiful blue sky that we both really love.

But, what could I do if the sky's gonna leave me too?

Nothing.

I dunno why, but I really felt pessimistic right now. Usually, I won't feel like that. This pessimistic thingy is unlike the real me. Is that because Hotaru wasn't on my side, right now? Is it? Maybe it is.

I closed my eyes for a sec. I felt the moment was really like a slow motion. I opened my eyes again, only to see the sky that was now bit a farewell to me. I move my arms, my hands, trying to catch them so they're not gonna leave me. But I can't. I was hopeless.

Yet, those all was begun from that windy morning.
