It had been too much. Slowly she leaned against the wall for support and felt her knees buckle underneath her. She curled into the fetal position and closed her eyes to welcome the complete darkness. Her hands trembled in remembrance and she felt thoughts scramble throughout her head, trying to comprehend. Her heart felt weird and her breaths were short and heavy from running home.
"I won't leave you Kyoko. I love you."
Had it all just been a dream? A beautifully, horrifying dream? Her whole body shook and her eyes opened wide, scared.
"He can't have meant it, could he? That's right…he left me…"
Her words were choked up and she could barely whisper. All alone she trembled in the darkness. A tear escaped and she felt herself collapse and simply lay on the ground, hands and feet spread out.
"Can I…have hope?"
Kyoko covered her eyes with her hands and cried. She moaned and screamed, her heart in turmoil. She grabbed the closest pillow and threw it as hard as she could at the wall.
"HOW CAN I TRUST YOU? YOU MORON!"
He had always been there, she had always loved him. He left her, she followed. He used her as a stepping stool, she wanted revenge. She said she loved him, he replied back.
"Idiot…I love you."
She pounded on the floor yelling out her frustrations. Her eyes seemed to bulge as she screamed, tear after tear falling down.
"YOU TOOK ME WITH YOU! YOU LEFT! NOW YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME!"
"I'm so sorry Kyoko. I'm so sorry."
Her tears kept running and her strength left her. She put her hands to her face, closed her eyes and cried. She saw him smiling at her with open arms. He looked like a prince. He always had.
"Kyoko? Won't you come with me?"
"Idiot…how could I ever say no."
