I won't visit Ayumi today. Why should I? She hates me.

The storm is worse then ever and lightening struck a nearby tree. Thankfully, it didn't fall on the house but I'm still a little paranoid. I feel like my life is a case of bad luck so it's likely the weather will affect me too.

I go downstairs and try the TV again. No luck. Just static.

I feel really bad about Ayumi, I can't keep her off my mind.

The same scene continues to replay in my head. Her angry face, her hatred. Directed at me. At me. Shutting me out for good.

I should apologise. She should at least know I'm sorry, even if she doesn't forgive me. And I know I can be an ignorant guy but I never meant to hurt her. There's no point going to see her, I'll get soaked in the rain and she could easily ignore me. I'll text her, even if she doesn't reply she'll know I'm sorry.

I reach for my phone. It's not there. "Crap… did I leave it at Shinozaki's house...?" I think to myself. "I did didn't I..."

I might as well go over to see her then. A least I have an excuse. Although the weather really is crappy today. I'll just leave it until tomorrow.

I wake with a start. Was someone... Knocking? I check outside the curtains and spot an anxious looking Ayumi soaking in the rain. Why is she here? At least I can apologise now. I sort myself out, grab a towel and open the door for her. "Hi," she says nervously while I hand her the towel.

"Hi," I reply. "Look, Shinozaki, I'm really sorry, I just-"

"Kishinuma." She stops me and smiles. "It's okay. I've come to apologise..." She hands me my phone. "Dont be mad but I... Kinda read the stuff you wrote about me."

By now we are both a violent shade of pink.

"And I never knew... You thought of me that way. And I've realised, I think I feel the same way. Well, that's if you still like me."

I'm not sure what to do so we both sit on the couch.

"Of course I do. I'll always like you Shinozaki."

She smiles and we spend the afternoon just talking together. Nothing too special but I am relieved we are talking now. And Ayumi likes me back...?

She holds onto my hand gently and places her head on my shoulder. Her hair tickles my face and I absent mindedly stroke it. I can feel her breathing in time with mine. We are finally together. I didn't want an amazing love story. I wanted Ayumi's true self. And I've got her.

"Yoshiki." I smile. It's cute when she uses my first name.

"Ayumi." She giggles and we hug briefly. It's short but I can feel the warmth and meaning to it. This was the Ayumi I loved. I understood her. She understood me.
