(In the Park)
Ema sat on the bench, soaked in the drizzling rain that matched her mood. "I still can't believe it," she whispered aloud, clutching the wet and fragile paper in her hands tightly.
She could barely make out the letter now, the words had been smudged and blackened by the rain and her tears. Her phone began ringing again. She pulled it out, not caring if the rain hit it.
It was Ukyo again.
Sighing, she pressed ignore again, not understanding why they would care about someone like her. A lie, an unwanted child. She held back a sob as she clutched the paper even tighter, almost ripping it in half.
"Why won't you answer, you are making everybody worry," a voice suddenly said filled with anger and worry. Ema looked up with surprise and brown eyes met violet ones.
"Tsubaki," she whispered, "Why... why are you here?"
Tsubaki frowned "What do you mean baka~, everybody is really worried about you!" "I've been looking all over town for you, is everything all right?" At this Ema felt something inside her snap. She stood up, bangs covering her eyes.
"Why do you care!" she screamed.
Tsubaki took a step back surprised. "Why does anybody care, you shouldn't especially!" "Don't you understand that I'm destroying your family, all these conflicts these are all my fault!"
Tears streaming down her face, she collapsed to her knees on the ground. "Nobody ever, and should ever want me," she said, quieter now. Suddenly she felt strong arms around her.
"I'm sorry," Tsubaki whispered with pain in his voice, " I didn't realize how much trouble we were causing you."
"I don't want to go back there," she sobbed clutching onto his shirt like it was a lifeline. Tsubaki grew quiet for a moment.
"Come on let's go," he said pulling her up and grabbing his umbrella that he had dropped when he hugged her.
"I know somewhere we can go." "What, where?", Ema said surprised. "You'll see," he said, refusing to reveal anything else. "We aren't going back to the house are we?".
Tsubaki stopped and looked down at her, feeling like someone was twisting his heart when he saw the pained expression on her face. " "Don't worry," he said grabbing her hand and pulling her closer, smiling as she blushed, " I'm not going to".
At this she smiled a little, and squeezed his hand, still blushing she whispered, "Thank you".
