You wanted the truth….well now you get to live with it…..
"You came up to me, day after day, and even though I smiled for you, you saw right through it.
"What's wrong" you'd ask me.
I'd lie.
"Nothing, Gokudera" and I'd just laugh it off.
You always knew better.
You never let it go.
Everyday.
I'd smile.
You'd ask.
And we'd repeat, day after day.
I decided that I'd finally answer truthfully. Just not to your face. I don't want you to stop me, don't want questions, I don't want you to burden yourself outside of this letter.
The truth is, behind ever smile is a pain that no one has ever felt. Not even you, Gokudera Hayato, with your past, have experienced this pain that I have to live with.
The truth is every smile I have is fake, except on occasion, you get a real one.
The truth is I ask you for help in school so that I can just be around you.
The truth is I gave up on school a long time ago.
The truth is I know I'm not going to make it to graduation.
The truth is I've been planning this for a while now.
The truth is I'm depressed.
The truth is you're the first person I've told.
The truth is after giving you this letter, you won't see me again.
Because the truth is I can't do this anymore. I'm lost and I can't find my way back.
I love you, and I'm so sorry.
Takeshi
Gokudera stared wide-eyed at the paper before him.
"N-no…."
He ran.
Why did he wait half an hour after getting the letter to read it?
That's right,
Yamamoto told him too.
He reached the Sushi Shop.
Sprinting up the stairs.
Throwing open the door to his room.
His mouth fell open, tears falling.
Okay, first things first, R&R.
Second, I want input. I'm writing one more chapter that could go one of two ways,
1) Yama is dead, and you get a "The Truth" by Goku that is to Takeshi, and he lights it over his grave...
2) Goku saves Yama before it's too late, and then (-insert readers ideas here-)
I'm a people pleaser, what can I say? -shrugs- anyway, thanks for reading~
I own nothing~
