Everything After

I remember I cried. Pooling in my eyes, running down my face dripping off my chin onto the floor. I fell to my knees, putting my face in my hands. He's gone.

It's kept me cooped up in my room for days. I can't eat. I can barely sleep.

I lie in my bed, pulling the covers close my seemingly endless tears steadily streaming. They say Kira killed him. They say he died honorably, fighting to stop the merciless killings. But I just don't understand. I loved Kira once. He killed the man who took my family away from me. But why did he have to kill Light? He didn't do anything wrong. It was his job to do what he was doing. I hate Kira. He doesn't consider, the people he's killing have families. They have lovers.

I wonder what Kira's family thinks. The police say Kira was a guy named Teru Mikami. They say he commit suicide after his cover was blown. Sometimes I wish he was still here, just to tell him what I think. To ask him, why Light? What did he do wrong? What did I do wrong? What did I do to deserve this?

"Misa?" My Manager knocks on my door. Not Matsuda or Mogi pretending to be my manager. Just a manager. I'm normal now. Not the celebrity girlfriend of an undercover cop trying to bring Kira to justice. Just… me. No matter how many times it hits me, it hurts just as much.
I'm back to being normal.
As normal as I'll ever be.

I sit up slowly, sending my head spinning. The sunlight shines through the curtains, lighting the room a pale yellow. Outside the curtains in the rest of the world. I don't want to see it. I already know what it's like. Crime rate has spiked since Kira died. Riots of die-hard Kira fans plague the city, protesting the police.

I know I need to get out of here. No matter what happens I am Misa-misa. The model, the actor, the singer. She needs to get out, make a comeback, show everyone nothing's going to bring her down.

But Underneath all that is just 'Misa'. I don't know who Misa is anymore. She's trapped inside this room.

And won't come out.

That's the end of chapter 1

I've had this story in my head a while now, and I'm glad to finally get it out.

This is one of my first stories so reviews are appreciated.

Thank you!
