Here's the next chapter!
Hopefully, my writing isn't bad (I've only done Songfics so far) Heh, it still has some Music in it though. :D
Well, without further a due: Chapter 2
Message
It'd been 2 weeks since I left Tsukasa officially, but I hadn't the heart to throw away the phone he'd bought me. I have a new, more advanced one which I use for work and friends, but I keep this one specially for him. This one was just for Tsukasa.
Once I returned to my apartment after my flight back home, I threw the cell onto the couch and fell into bed, forgetting it there. My days went on and I had my doubts about ending it with Tsukasa. When those surfaced, I threw myself into work, cleaning, cooking; anything to keep busy – anything to keep him off of my mind. After an exhausting week of this routine, I collapsed onto my couch, drained. I flicked on the TV. Its sound filled the room, but I couldn't concentrate. Something was poking my back! Irritated, I tugged at it and found the phone – our phone.
"Here Tsukushi, for you."
"Hmm? A phone! But I—"
"C'mon Tsukushi, It's a gift. Don't argue! I set the ringtone – do you like it?"
He pressed a button and We are the Champions, by Queen played.
'We are the Champions, my friends. We'll keep on fighting 'till the end!'
"Eh? Why'd you choose a silly song like this Tsukasa?"
"Baka! We beat Kadae, we beat society...we beat the odds! That makes us the champions!"
Remembering the 2nd line of the song; 'we'll keep on fighting, till the end' reminded me that I gave up. I let the initial causes of our problems, business, society and money tear us apart once more. I can almost hear Rui asking me softly "Where's your weed power gone?"
Cursing myself for thinking like that, I grudgingly turned the cell on. It alerted that I had one new message. I hovered the phone near my ear; afraid to touch, thinking that I might give into my mind and aching heart...and run back to him.
This is ridiculous...
Forcefully, I punched Enter and held the phone to my ear.
"You have 1 unread message"
Beep
"I love you. I won't give up. So, Tsukushi, don't say goodbye."
Gasping, I dropped the phone like it was alive. What? He still...wants me? Even after I...I left him like that? Cautiously, I retrieved the phone and pressed Replay.
"I love you. I won't give up. So, Tsukushi, don't say goodbye."
I listened to it again...
And again,
And again...
Tsukasa
Well, what do you guys think Tsukushi is feeling? Happy? Upset? Sad? Regretful? Hmmm... The possibilities are endless!
It's a bit of a Cliff Hanger, but no worries there! I'm writing another chapter. (Most definitely, I'll finish before school starts - September 2nd)
Review please! I'd love to know what you think of my writing.
Thanks!
