helpless.
Stop it.
She's crying.
Why can't you stop?
I can't, I can't. Why can't you just understand?
The voices clamor in his head, and it's so troublesome.
Ino looks at him with disdain. "You said you love me. Why can't you," Here she hiccups, "do this for me?" Her hands are fisted at her sides and tears drip down her chin. Ino still looks beautiful.
Shikamaru stares at her. Words are on his lead tongue but they stick like gum.
"Shikamaru!" She's crying harder now, her slim frame shaking. "Shikamaru, just answer me!"
"Ino..." Finally, a word spits out from his lips. "Ino..."
"Don't. Just. Oh God, what's happening to us, we never fight." Ino whispers, looking at her hands. Her gaze slips to him, the cigarette in his mouth.
"I just let you get your way."
"Not this time." Ino's voice is softer than the raindrops outside.
"Not this time."
Ino opens the door. She's walking away.
Not out of my life, is she?
sigh.
Girls.
