Another! Another!
Vivi: Wow! I bet the readers will be excited about this!
I hope so! I am just rolling along with this, well for about five days I was stumped... but BAM! It came to me and yeah... it is flowing through me.
Robin: Interesting music choices...
*blushes* I don't know why I love this song so much!
Vivi: Has a good beat to it and words.
Yeah, but Nicki Minaj ruins it all with her small part... the little cutie could have just did the song himself.
Robin: Hmmm, shall we move on with the chapter?
Ah, yes! The song doesn't associate with this chappie anyways. If you do listen to music then pick something like "My Love" by Sia. I listened to it when typing the angsty stuff, helps me feel all emotional and stuff.
Vivi: Here we go!
Enjoy!
Holy Innocence
Scripture 8
How could it already be Friday night?
A rough sigh left me as I felt a body press against me. Luffy and I like to take turns in sleeping in each other's beds and tonight it was mine. A giggle came from him before I moved to my side to face him as the moonlight from the window gave me enough light to see him.
"Usopp totally dropped it next." Luffy explained out with his story of what happened in a class I didn't have with him. A light smile was on me as I listened to the story before he told the ending of it and I snorted to show me finding the humor. We grew silent as we laid there staring at each other. "What should we do tomorrow?" A sting went through my chest as it felt like it was tightening around my heart.
"I don't care." I told him with my head moving to rest against his. It hurt knowing that I wasn't going to be here by the time he awoke in the morning. "Luffy," I started out as I kept my eyes closed and soon moved to tuck my head under his chin.
"What is it Zoro?"
"You know… I love you right?" A tense body formed before he squirmed, but held onto me.
"I kn-know… I love Zoro too." My arms tightened around his waist as I actually felt like crying from how much it hurt. "What's wrong, Zoro?"
"I love you no matter what's happens… Nothing will change that…" Fingers slid along my back as he shifted lightly.
"Zoro… you are kind of scaring me." Worry lined his voice and I shook my head as I rubbed my forehead against his neck.
"I feel like I should tell you…" A deep breath left him as he snuggled against me before relaxing. "I love you, Luffy."
"I love you too, Zoro."
And I always will.
My lips touched a forehead before I moved to the door with my bag slung onto my shoulder. Before I passed my desk, I laid my key down with a folded piece of paper to him and stared at the robe I wore whilst being here. A tightening my chest stayed as I gazed back one more time at Luffy as he slept soundly on my bed. Tears actually threatened to come out again but I turned away with a calming breath.
"Goodbye, Luffy… I really do love you." My hand opened the door and I made my way down the stairs to the last floor.
The walk felt long and made me feel sicker every step I took. It felt like a dream walking down the steps and I would just walk into another world if I continued. Technically I would be in another world whenever I reached Remington. Though, it was like I was going to wake up and be lying with Luffy still in my arms.
What I wouldn't give to be able just to stay here. I know it felt like a nightmare when I first came here, but Luffy showed me something I had never felt. To actually love someone and want to be with someone was a very strong feeling in me now. But, I can't be with him because if I do then he will get into trouble. All of it would make me feel bad because I would be the one to blame for it all. I was the one who led him into temptation, but he would still be punished for being dragged into it. I couldn't be able to bear doing that to him; it was bad enough I am leaving without telling him.
Upon reaching the last floor, I noticed Kaku standing outside the doors as he waited for me to join him.
"Are you ready, Zoro-boy?" He asked out before I merely nodded feeling a certain eye on me. Kaku walked down the steps and I took the chance to glance back and peered into a blue eye. A type of anger was in that eye, but changed as he gazed upon my appearance. It must have been obvious on how I felt about the situation since the conflicting emotions stood out on my face. I turned away to head down the porch steps and headed to the awaiting car.
Remington… you have not changed and you have not been missed.
The car had dropped me off in front of the old building I crashed in with the group of people I considered part of my group. Smoke lingered in the air as I stared at the man before me leaning against the brick railing off the steps to the building.
"Heard the story, man. Must have been hard to pretend you actually enjoyed being there." Saga spoke up as he was across from Kohza, who was smoking the cigarette.
"Sorry about the punch, had to do it. Keep my appearance and all." A roll of my shoulders was made from me as I gave him a smirk and he gave a smile.
"Totally understand." Hands waved out towards me before Kohza snuffed his cancer stick out.
"Your room has been left empty, awaiting your return." When I moved up the steps, an arm from Saga was over my shoulders and he laughed out.
"You totally have been missing it all! Chicks come by asking 'is Roronoa back yet'! Ever since they heard you went on some type of secret business trip to a holy place, they have been creaming themselves to get with you!" A snort left me as we began to discuss some unimportant things on our way down the steps to the basement where held the main gathering area and my piece of shit room.
"We will let you settle in and all."
"Meeting will be at noon." I mentioned after Kohza told me to settle in and a light flickered completely on to show my room. A nod left both of them before the door shut and my bag bounced on the bed, causing dust to stir lightly.
Disgust washed over me as I remembered my words on having to act out when I actually enjoyed being there. I shook my head before moving clothes back in drawers where I noticed some of my other clothes still in them. When I put my iPod on top of the dresser I searched in bag for anything else and pulled out a little piece of paper. Writing was on it and a small smile reached my lips staring at the writing I first saw when I entered the room back at the school.
"Luffy…" The name left me as I soon sat down and let my hands cover my face. "I already miss you…" I whispered out with my teeth biting into my bottom lip as I tried not to cry. I also began to wonder if he was awake yet, since it takes a good thirty minutes to an hour to get to Remington from the school. Part of me hoped not, but knew it was inevitable. I just didn't want him to get hurt, but in the end he was going to be.
I am the one to blame.
