This is still going, i have been thinking about what to do. So here's the end result.
It's been a couple of days since Natsuki revealed to me and Sayori that her father was abusive, i may have known the whole time but i needed to have her tell as to not seem suspicious. Since they both had phones, i gave them both my numbers to talk about things. Natsuki and Sayori did the same among themselves and we went on our merry way, nobody had noticed too much about the black eye after we gave a fake explanation of what happened. Yesterday though, i asked Yuri to have some tea at my home along with talking about the literature club and books. I had the tea set up when i heard the doorbell ring, it was Sunday currently and so school was out during this time. I was currently wearing a green zip up hoodie with a white t-shirt, i had blue jeans on along with black strap shoes, funnily enough that this was similar to the outfit that i wore back in my world. I walked over to the door and opened it, Yuri was standing their. I smile and gesture her in, she smiles a little also.
"Well, the tea's ready." I say to her giggling in response
We walked in and sat down at the kotatsu to have our tea, i looked at her arms occasionally. She was wearing a sweater like she did in back in the original, i look at her with a concerned look.
"Pretty hot out today, yet your wearing a sweater." I say
"I-i like wearing it." She says, eyes darting away from me
I sigh and put my hand on hers, she looks at me surprised. I give a concerned look, i give a small friendly smile.
"Tell me what's wrong?" I ask
She looks ashamed for a moment, she then pulls her sleeve up. My eyes widened, i knew that she did that but i didn't think that... she did it that often.
"Yuri, why?" I ask
"I-i don't know, i just have these thoughts. Doing this helps, i can-"
"I can see that, but Yuri. Why didn't you tell anyone this?" I ask
"Fear." Yuri responds
I sigh again, i look at her with a sad look.
"Yuri, trust me when i say this. I've been their with those thoughts, but i've gotten over them." I say
Yuri suddenly looks at me surprised.
"Those thoughts can eat you up after a bit, that doing that is the only way to happiness." I say
I look at one of the larger, more healed scars on her arm.
"I controlled myself, because i knew that people cared about me." I explain
I look at her, she's still surprised at that i had the same thoughts.
"That was do to a lot of circumstances, i felt hopeless, weak." I say
She looks away from me for a moment.
"But then something changed." I say
She looks at me.
"I realized that to live life, you must struggle and to give up is death. So Yuri, tell me this." I say
I grab her hand.
"Do you have the strength to fight back?" I ask
"I-i don't know." She says
"To gain strength is not easy but with a little help from friends and family, it makes it all worthwhile." I say
I look at her with a smile.
"So, do you want to give up? Or do you want to continue on?" I ask
The room goes silent for a couple of moments, she looks down for a bit. After a moment she looks at me.
"I'm not giving up." She responds
I smile widely, i give her a hug. I then let her go, we get up and we both go to the door.
"Listen Yuri, if you ever want to talk to me about stuff like that." I say
I give her a phone number.
"Don't hesitate to tell me." I say
She takes the number and nods, she leaves the house. I go over to the couch and sit down, i sigh.
"That was way too tough, guess i should do something while i have time." I say
I felt my phone buzz, i got it out and opened it. It was a message from Sayori, i opened it and it said this.
[Hey Aaron? I want to ask you something.]
I raise an eyebrow, i then shrug and text her back.
[Okay, what do you want to ask?]
No response, i then get a response.
[Do you want to go the the festival?]
My face goes slightly red, when a group goes. It's usually friends, when it's two people especially a boy and a girl. That's considered a couple, i wipe my face off. I the nod.
[Sure, i would love that. 3]
I then wait, i get a response.
[Yaaaay~]
She must be freaking out at her home and gave a response to seem fine, i hope this doesn't go too wrong.
A little while later
Over the next couple of days, the festival was starting to get ready. During that time, i was helping out with the others. Me and Monika talked about on how i was gonna fix everything in this universe, me and Sayori made plans about what we were going to do over the festival, me and Natsuki along with Sayori did our usual breakfast along with having lunch together, me and Yuri did exercises for those dark thoughts she had along with getting over them. She was doing great, the scars were healing more and more along with less occurring. I was sitting in my home, in my room thinking about Sayori.
'Sayori, she's so cute sometimes.' I thought
A little bit earlier today, she made a pretty funny joke. I smiled for a long while, especially during club. When she brought out some sweets that she made, i accidentaly said that she would make a good wife for someone. We were teased about that for a bit, it was awkward but we got over it and still interacted despite the teasing. Though i noticed that Sayori did give me looks when i wasn't looking, i have no idea why but i feel like maybe... i'm going to do something good, i should talk to her about the festival. I pull out my phone and give her a text.
[Hey Sayori, what's up?]
No response, i try to message her again.
[Sayori? What's going on?]
Still no response, i try again.
[Sayori, please respond.]
Still nothing, i get up and get dressed. I go over to her house, the door was unlocked. I walk through the empty home, i walk over to her room. I stand in front of it, i have no idea what's going to happen. I open the door, to.....
Cliffhanger! Sorry, it's a small one, another chapter is being uploaded as we speak.
