My Life as a Model in Training
Chapter 9: I Will Never Hurt You
Mikan's POV
Tonight's dinner party was fantastic! The food and dessert were so delicious, courtesy of the best café on campus. All the food was healthy yet delicious, even the dessert, which is great for all models that have to watch their wait, though Aoi and I totally pigged out on dessert! I thought I would have to be wheeled out of there on a gurney just to get to my room!
After the dinner was done, we all walked together to our dorms happily chatting away. I had stopped needing help to get everywhere, so I know I was no longer hanging on to Natsume which I regretted it when we walk outside and it was freezing, so we were all complaining about how cold it was!
"It's so cold out here! Why do girls have to wear dresses that don't keep us warm and guys get to wear slacks and a jacket to keep them warm? It's horrible! Hey guys lend us your jackets!" Aoi decided to command all our men to hand over their jackets. All of the guys groaned except for Youichi who kindly handed over his jacket and draped it over his shoulders. Aoi gave him a great big smile and hugged him.
"Thank you so much Youichi! You're the greatest! See maybe you guys can learn from him! Not even my very own brother will fork over his jacket for me! Unless," Aoi gave him a menacing smile and came over to me and hugged me and stared evilly at her brother, "you're saving it for this beautiful girl, right here!" Everyone gasped as soon as she said that and some of them started snickering to themselves. I felt my face heat up and waited for his answer.
"No way, Burikko. Why would I let that thing touch my jacket? Besides maybe I'm cold too." Natsume said coolly as Aoi puffed up her cheeks, walked over and stepped on his foot.
"Ow that hurt Burikko!" Natsume said in an irritated voice as he placed Aoi under his arm in a headlock and continued walk with her like that. He was lucky I didn't step on his foot myself! It would probably be broken!
"No, that hurts! Let me go!"Aoi yelled wiggling around to get away from him. Everyone was laughing at the little scene, but I looked away, maybe the slightest bit disappointment, I'm not sure maybe I was feeling this because I was cold and tired. But then I noticed something moving in the trees and I walked closer to the trees and felt a tinge of fear. I walked slowly to the trees and saw a pair of eyes. I gasped and tears threatened to overcome me. The scar on my arm started tingling, my knees started to feel weak, but when I saw something shine in front if those pair of eyes, I lost it and let out a blood curdling scream.
It was Him. And his best friend, Mr. Knife.
Natsume's POV
I was trying to mess with my sister's head, but when we heard one vicious scream, I almost dropped her. I caught her in time, but I didn't catch the person I wanted to catch the most, the one made that scream, Polka. We all ran to her and when we got there she was completely sobbing and holding herself on the ground.
"Mikan? Mikan? What's wrong? What happened?" All of those girls started asking Polka and crowding her. Her creepy friend all of a sudden, kicked of her heels and ran in to the trees. Ruka looked one last time at Polka and ran after creepy girl.
Polka was still sobbing and she wouldn't talk to anyone, so I did the best I could do which was place my jacket over her head, and started petting her head, in my form of comforting. I'm not sure, but I think it sort of works, I do it to Aoi when she's crying but I don't think she's ever cried this much.
It must've worked because she calmed down a little and looked up at me. Her face was stained with tears and her lip was trembling, but she still continued to cry. I don't think I've ever seen a person so sad before.
"Mikan, you have to tell me what happened." Creepy girl came back and kneeled down to Polka's level and asked In a stern voice, though it was laced with concern. Polka looked up at her and wrapped her friend's neck and began to sob again. Creepy tried to stand up with Polka latched to her neck, and the other girls tried to help, but they fell back down. Creepy looked at me and said, "Hyuuga carry her. You should know she isn't heavy, but I don't think I can drag her all the way back to the room."
I quickly did what she told me to do, I was getting to feel restless just kneeling around doing nothing. Then Polka looked at me and turned to my chest and cried softly. I felt a pang in my in my chest for her, it was strange, maybe it was because I didn't know what was wrong. I just kept quiet and gently ran my hand over her head trying to get her to calm down. The others were following behind completely concerned as her best friend walked beside me.
When we got to the dorm room, Creepy unlocked to door and guided us in to the room. When I got in I could see that they didn't have enough time to unpack because their luggage were still full and Polka's one was on her bed. I could tell it was her's because it had polka dotted panties partially out of it, I figured I would bother her with that later. I sat on her bed and took her bag of the bed and gently placed her on her bed. Creepy ushered everyone in to the next room and shutted the door behind them.
Polka looked extremely vulnerable, all curled up in a ball on her bed crying softly. I sat next to her on her bed and ran my fingers through her long hair. Her hair was really soft, I could probably run my fingers through it all night. It seemed that I was too far away from her, so I moved closer to her and she laid her head on my lap and grabbed my hand. I squeezed her hand tightly and she moved closer and closed her eyes and tried to calm her breathing.
In a few minutes, she was sleeping and I could hear her soft breathing. She looked like an angel, with her long chestnut colored hair splayed all around her, her long dark eyelashes made a statement against her creamy white skin which was a little flushed, and her pink lips were glossy, probably from her tears. Her lips looked so kissable, I wanted to bend down and kiss her lips over and over again. It took all my resistance to keep myself from kissing her and when her friend walked in, a wave of relief washed over me. I didn't want to do anything that would have caused a huge conspiracy with everyone, which would have been a huge problem.
"Hyuuga, you can go now. Thanks for carrying this idiot all day and night. You may go now." Creepy nonchalantly told me as she gestured to the door. I grunted in agreement and tried to get up to leave, but Polka tightened her hold on my hand. Her eyes opened slightly and they started to well up with tears as she whispered, "Don't leave me. He's going to get me…" her lip started to tremble helplessly.
Creepy let out a sigh and said, "Well Hyuuga, you have no choice, you're going to have to stay here for the night. Once that idiot has something on her mind, she's very persistent about it until she gets it. Besides tomorrow, were just going to meet teachers and go to classes for a few minutes and then were done for the day, so it works out fine"
It was my turn to sigh, I guess I don't have a choice. I couldn't just leave her like this. "Fine, I'll stay. But you're going to have to tell what this is all about." I stated, looking in to Creepy's eyes. She looked back sternly, trying to see if I would be able to hold her gaze. After a minute or so, she broke it and stared out of the window. She walked up to it, looked out, and closed the shutters. She walked to her closet, pulled some clothes out and said, "I'm going to change clothes and so is Mikan. Go to the restroom and don't come out until I tell you. No peeking or I will find out and I will be pissed."
I pried Polka's small fingers off of my hand and touched her hair one more time before I walked toward the restroom. The entire way to the restroom, I could feel her eyes seeping in to my brain, until I walked in to the restroom and closed the door.
After for what seemed like hours, Creepy called for me and I walked out. She was dressed in a plain shirt and sweat pants and so was Polka. Polka was in the same position, as if she didn't even move from her spot on the bed. I quietly sat on her bed and Polka did the same position to me, before I went to the restroom.
"Well Hyuuga, it looks like Mikan trusts you enough to tell you her secret. This he was seen, I think it might be a good idea to tell you since you're going to be around her all the time. It's much, how do I put this, safer for her." Creepy sat on her bed across from Polka and I as she stared at me intently. She crossed one leg over the other and changed her gaze to look at Polka.
"This is hard to say, but Mikan could've died last summer." Creepy whispered and I felt a stab in my chest. My hand tightened around Polka's and Creepy continued. "Last year back at our old school, there was this guy, Sano Kobe, was completely obsessed with Mikan. He would keep calling her and showing up at different places she would be, "coincidentally". He would leave her notes about how he loved her and how much she wanted her to be with him. One day she got a note to meet him somewhere, so he could talk to her. I told Mikan not to go, but she said she wanted to set things straight with him. She said she could take care of herself and nothing would happen. So I did the most stupidest thing I could have ever done in my life. I let her go." Creepy looked to me with sad, glossy eyes, like she would start crying any moment now but she didn't. This guy was really pissing me off. If I were there, he would've been dead by now.
"I took Mikan to, where he had told her to meet him cabin by a lake. I told her I would be around to make sure she was safe, but she told me to walk around somewhere and she would be fine. And I did the next stupidest thing in my life, I walked away from her." Creepy started to clutch the comforter on her bed and looked down at it.
"I came back for her after an hour. And I found her, on the ground in the cabin, bleeding. She was covered in her own blood and she was unconscious. I freaked out and thought she was dead, but when I went to her, she was still breathing and conscious and I asked her what happened. She said that bastard tried to rape her. And instead of finishing the job, he wanted to kill her so no one else could have her. Then she made me promise that we wouldn't tell anyone about him. We would just tell the hospital that Mikan followed a kitten in to a construction site and a bunch of boards and nails fell on her. She didn't want anyone to know about what happened. But I did try to find him, and I never did. Till this day we had no idea where he was and we thought he had given up on her, but now I'm not so sure. Mikan saw him here and freaked out. Now were both freaking out.
You have to promise me Natsume Hyuuga, that you won't tell anyone about this until Mikan is ready to tell. And that you will keep Mikan safe. I hardly know you, but Mikan wanted to tell you. It's the safest thing to do at this point. I have complete trust in you Hyuuga, that you won't hurt Mikan. My trust isn't that east to give out, so this is like the Nobel Prize or some other kind of really big award. Keep it and don't lose it." Creepy finally finished and by the time she was done, I was about ready to kill someone real bad. I was clutching my knuckles so hard they were white and they were close to bleeding. I stared at Creepy and then looked at Polka, she was spacing out and her gaze was set on my leg. She turned to me slowly and looked up at me with pleading eyes. She was close to tears again and right then and there, I vowed to myself I would never make her cry.
All of a sudden I felt a squezzing in my chest and I gathered her up in to my arms and started to hold her. She cried softly again and buried her face in my chest as I supported her head with my hand and started to stroke her head and I buried my own face in to her hair. I heard Creepy sigh, get up, and shut the light off to the dorm.
I lied Polka back down on her bed and I lied down too as I held her tight. I let her cry, so she could go to sleep and rest. The bright moonlight was seeping in through the shutters and I could see her looking up at me and she looked so beautiful. I couldn't stand it anymore, I wanted to kiss her so badly but because I didn't want to lose the trust she had in me, especially after what that mother fucker did, I just couldn't. Instead I pulled her as close as I could pull her to me and whispered,
"I am never ever going to hurt you Mikan. Ever."
Okay done with this next chapter! I hope this is alright. Hope it wasn't boring or anything! I think I'll be introducing classes and stuff in the next chapter to lighten up the mood or something, I don't know! Oh and do you all think I put too much detail in to the story? My friends read it and said it was really detailed and long. So can I have some opinions? Is it a bad thing?
Sooooo please review this! I want to make sure that this was alright! Please and Thank You!
