Chapter 7 ~ Try me a River
Pant. Pant. Pant.
I wsa runnning. I donnt now where I was runnin. I was running don emty corrridors. Everone was ta the cafeteria. Those htat wheren't ate on the roof. Thas't what I asume. But stil most studdents winessed my embarrassment. I keot running.
A dude cam from the oher direction, waking calmly. I passed hom and saw him out of the coner of ym eye. He was smirking. Wyh? I had no time to ponder. As quik as I had rached him, as wuick had I passrd by and run down the corridoor. I fond myself son enough in fornt of a door that read toire.
Fro a minute I hesistated. Wasn't that cliched? But hen again, I cold just lock meself in their... and mayb if I waited lon enough, peope would forgout... that it hapened... that I exisred... evety... thing...
I shot the stall doot behind me and sat down on teh toilet. Finally, I coud let it f;ow... the teers I despertely had held ni (a fuw had howeber fallen alraedy when I mad my leaf) rained on my ballked fists.
"Pathetic..." I wispered to myslef.
Suddely I heard a familar voice... Ryouta!? Hew as lookng for me!
"Riza-cchi!" He sounded worrird. I wondered if I shuld open the stoll. Only a litle, and peak maybe... As soon as he heatd the creak he was riht at the stall's dor. I had to direcly stare ta his worried face with my tear swoullen misshape of a visage. Dam unisex tolets!
"Yokatta!" He lte out a sihgh of relief. Gald about fineding me he msiled. "Are you alright?"
For a minite I starred blanktly at my fits, wihing for the waterwroks to shut agan and with oly one queshion on my midn...
"How... how di you know...?"
"Oh, Oriharacchi told me he saw you going to the restroom!"
Orihara had probbably bean the guy I had passed ear lier...
"What happened?" Ryouta asked concernedly.
I hesistatated. I couldn't rally explein what had gitten int ome... but... should I twll him abot...
"Is anything bothering you, Rizacchi?" He tried again. I stared deap into his ayes.
"Actually... yes." I replid, loking down. "Atashi... atashi... it's just that... this is so all new to me and..." Tears tripped donn my face agaen. (I ttped atahi hear so tat yuo now Riza storts her sentencc wiht "I" befroe swichin ot "its")
"Shh, it's okay" Ryouta carressed my cheak and gave me a worm smile. He was so kinf... he deserbed to now... he neaded to know that it wa sall a waste no me.
"I killed my paretns" I blurped out, shocking boht me and him. I sobbed as soon as the qords had left my mouth. "I... I beheaded... them..."
My comfession strangled my throt and it felt drie. It was all easu to say it out lowd, but acshally thikking about it, remenbering it happen... that's hwat raelly made me scarr up insode. It just had bubb;ed out of me becuze I'm not worhty to be treeted as nicly as he did. He neded to kow what a terrilbe person I truly am.
"Are you telling a joke?" Kise sad with an unbelivving face. I shok my head. We contined dwelling in an akward sillence befroe he suddenly pulled me into a hgu! As I tried to proteat, he onyl said one thin.
"I'm sure you had your reasons."
And tht reduced em to the utter mess of tears I wsa andI buried my fase deep in his cheat, soacking his shirt with the wirthless soltwater streeming from mu eyes.
