Hello everyone! The drama starts here! Sorry if it's short!
Chapter 3: Fury and Heartbroken
They finished their games and decided to rest. The group of friends sat down beneath a tree near the girls and everyone was talking with each other, Sora with Kairi, Vanitas with Namine, Wakka and Tidus, but one pair caught Haruka's eye; Riku and Selphie. The silver haired boy looked like he was flirting with her and that he was enjoying it. You could see the expression on his face, his smile and his shining eyes. Selphie obviously loved it whenever boys would flirt with her, and in this case, Riku. Haruka's emerald eyes started burning and brimming with tears. She felt a stabbing pain in her heart.
"Hey guys what are we gonna do for a week?" Sora asked and Haruka kept her eyes glued to the floor in deep thought. "I dunno man; all I wanna do is sleep!" Wakka replied and Tidus agreed, "Yeah, I just want to sleep in this week." The others smiled at that and Kairi said, "I'm gonna go shopping with Selphie and Namine during the week. Hey Haruka, do you wanna come as well?" Haruka was snapped out of daze and stared at the girl with a blank look. She thought about the times, when her mother asked her that and felt a part of her disappear. Haruka sighed and Riku noticed his best friend's strange behaviour. The green eyed girl was going to say something, but she was speechless.
Axel sighed too, "Kairi, you know Haruka doesn't like to shop; especially with friends. So, Sora what are you gonna do for the week?" Immediately he changed and the others looked at Sora. Haruka looked up at her elder brother and mouthed, "You're the best…" The red haired pyro nodded, and Haruka smiled at this. No one knew about how Haruka was like before she came on the islands, so Axel covered up for her. She never told them, what mother her occupation had, and how she was like (Haruka).
"Well, I'm gonna wake up early every morning, do my homework and then go and enjoy myself in the afternoon." He crossed his arms behind his head. "Well, I'm gonna hang out with all my friends and chill." Riku said plainly. Haruka grinned in her mind and leaned against the tree and closed her eyes. "What about you Haru?" She opened her eyes and everybody looked at her. "Eat, sleep and poop!" Axel smirked and winked at the girl playfully. She glared at him and gritted her teeth together, but he just stared back with that cocky smile. Haruka stood up and clenched her fists, and he stood up too.
"Uh-oh…" Wakka, Sora and Tidus squeaked with fear. The red fury was visible behind Haruka's green eyes and she seethed with anger. "You are so gonna pay!" She growled and her brother gulped and sweated like a sinner in a church. "Ummmm…." He trailed off and his eyes were rolling from left to right as if he was watching a ping pong match. The group spectated and the tension was rising. Suddenly he fell to her feet, "Don't kill me, oh mighty Haruka!" He begged and the others laughed at this. Haruka however, grabbed his long bright red hair and pulled him to face her. "Good. So be a good brother and don't anger me ever again." She said with a sweet tone and a grin. The expressions on the faces were like this: O_O but Haruka giggled at this and sat down.
"Me, I'm gonna do all my homework, revise a bit, do the chores and go out with all my friends and have some fun!" She grinned widely and Vanitas asked, "How the hell are you gonna do all that?" "Well, easy, time management like Sora!" Haru answered and pointed at Sora.
Suddenly, Riku got up and asked for Selphie's hand. "Hey Selphie, come on I want to tell you something important." The brown haired girl took Riku's hand and he pulled her up. They walked off and Haruka felt her heart break just a little. 'What could he tell her?' She thought and sighed with deep sorrow. The group started talking again, but Haru stared at the floor, hugging her knees against her chest.
Finally she let out a sigh and got up. 'I need some alone time.' She decided. "Haru are you okay?" Namine asked and she turned to her and smiled sadly. "Yeah, don't worry about me." Namine nodded and Axel stared at her sister, 'I know what's on your mind Haru…' The red haired girl walked to the secret place under the waterfall and entered the cave. Her mood lightened up slightly when she remembered all the memories of her late childhood, she would always talk with Riku in this cave and draw sketches of each other. Haru's trail of thought was interrupted by the sound of 2 people's voices which echoed throughout the cave. Sly and quietly she neared the source and her eyes widened and she gasped at the sight.
Riku held Selphie's hands and looked down at her. "Selphie, I always wanted to tell you this, but never had the chance to." Selphie looked up and grinned, "What is it Riku?" Haruka's breathing came out short and shaky and the tears fell down her eyes. "I love you Selphie." Those words pierced into Haruka's heart and she felt it ripped apart. Haruka felt excruciating pain at the left side of her chest, were her broken heart laid. "OMG! I love you too Riku!" Selphie squealed and hugged him tight. Slowly he hugged her back and Haruka couldn't take it anymore. 'No, this can't be happening. I'm dreaming, yeah, just having a bad nightmare.' But realization crushed her when she saw them kiss. She covered her mouth with her hands and sobbed silently while shaking her head.
The heartbroken girl couldn't take it anymore, she couldn't take all the pain, before she would burst out crying and screaming, Haruka walked backwards out of the cave and ran away. Her emerald green eyes stung with tears, and the pain was so agonizing, that it even hurt to breath in or out. 'No, Riku why did you do this? Selphie doesn't even love you!' Haruka felt like shaking Riku by the shoulders and screaming this to him. The tears fell down her face and she could cry a river. Some of her tears were from the heart-breaking pain, but most of it was that the boy she loved for 6 years of her life loved another. Haruka's gentle and fragile was broken into a million pieces.
Please review! Hope you enjoyed it; the next chapter will be about the distance between Haruka and Riku drifting away, and one call regarding a business trip, that may change her life for the better...
