Chapter 9
~Tetsumi's~
When I arrived home, I was immediately bombarded by my parents, since I was tired, I let Sei, tell them.
I went and change into my night clothes and lay on my bed.
Thinking of everything that had happened with Sei today, should I start everything over, Aomine-kun again?
Sei is right I am only denying myself this and I can see that he is hurt by my actions too.
Tomorrow, we will see what will happen.
I sighed and fell asleep.
Today was really stressful for me.

~Aomine's POV~
I got a call from Akashi to not mess things up with Tetsumi ever again.
As if I will.
Will she be able to forgive me?
I want it to be like when we were in Middle school, minus our 3rd year.
All will be revealed tomorrow then.
.

…Time skips to the next day…
'Ah… I didn't get a good sleep, too much worried on what will happen today.' I thought and yawned.
I was walking to school when I bumped into someone.
"ah, sorry…" He apologizes but he froze when he saw that it was none other than the girl he has been thinking about all night.
"Tetsu…" I mumbled and scratched my head
"Ah, it's alright, Aomine-kun I wasn't looking were I was going as well." She smiled back at me
I smiled as well.
But it was still awkward for us.
"Aomine-kun, can you come with me to the park? We still have time before school starts." She asked
I nodded and we left to the park.
We sat at a bench; we didn't talk on the way.
I sighed.
"Aomine-kun, shall I tell you the real reason I left?" she asked me softly.
I nodded hesitantly not knowing what to do. I already have a strained relationship with her now.
I don't even what relationship we have anymore.
"You remember that I was absent frequently right?" she asked me
"Yea, when I asked Akashi were you are, he said that your parents dragged you somewhere to spend time with each other."
"Ah, that was a lie that I let my parents tell." She said quietly but loud enough for me to hear.
"A lie?" I asked
She nodded and told me everything.
"I was weak as a child; we don't know why my body kept failing me. But sometimes, my body stops moving, I was really devastated, I didn't know what to do.
I thought about giving everything up, including basketball, since Father concluded that my condition keeps worsening was because of basketball.
Who would have thought, that the very thing I love, was keeping me from being a normal teenager.
But when I saw all of you, still having fun playing it, I thought that I could get through this, will all of you unintentionally healing me from the pain.
Thinking that I want to play with all of you again, no matter what my condition is.
But everything changed, didn't it.
All of you changed, especially you.
I was hurt, Aomine-kun.
Who would have thought, that you of all people will ignore me.
I had felt betrayed; when you had repeated told me that the only person that could defeat you was only you.
Don't you think to me, that you are stating that you didn't want anything to do with me anymore?
I didn't know what to do, but I just cried my eyes out when you left.
Satsuki found me after you had left and helped me get home.
After Graduation, I was attacked by my so called sickness.
The immense depression I had felt that day, made my body and mind shut down.
If my parents weren't there that night, I wouldn't have been here.
When I woke up, it was about a month later, my parents were there, they were crying and relieved that they finally have the cure for me.
If they hadn't, my parents told me that I would be to wake up and I wouldn't be here sitting with you now.
The guilt that I had let my parents suffer, because of my selfish decision to continue playing basketball had almost caused me my life, I made up my mind then, that I will stop, the only thing that kept me from playing it again was my hatred for it.
That was why I didn't contact any of you; I didn't want to remember basketball anymore.
I didn't want to remember what had happened to all of you." She cried
I froze; she nearly died because of me?
I don't know what to do, tears kept coming down from my eyes.
I would have lost her, if her parents hadn't found the cure in time.
It was my fault.
I stood up and kneeled in front of her.
She looked at me with her beautiful teal eyes that held so much affection for me.
Why? Why though?
With everything I had done to her.
"Do you hate me, Tetsu?" I asked afraid of what her answer will be.
She shook her head.
"No, I could never hate you; you were my reason for not giving everything up.
I love you, Aomine-kun.
I was only denying myself, because of my insecurities.
Please, I want us to be like before.
But please, this time, don't hurt me anymore;
I don't think I would be able to handle it again." she cried and hugged me.
I immediately hugged her back and kissed her forehead.
"Tetsu, I'm sorry for everything I did to you.
I want us to be like back then in our second year.
I am happy that you felt the same as me.
I love you, Tetsumi.
I will never hurt you again." I confessed
I'm happy.
I don't want to ever let her go, again.
I was foolish back then, but not now.
I smiled at her gently and wiped her tears away.
I kissed her and she responded immediately.
I sighed happily.
This is how it is supposed to be.
We smiled at each other and left to go to school.
There we saw Satsuki was waiting for us.
She must have sensed that the awkwardness, around us is no longer then, she smiled and hugged us both.
But she didn't let us go with just that.
She threatened me that if I hurt her again, I will be in big trouble.
I replied that I will never hurt her.
Doing so, will only hurt me.
She was satisfied with what I said and left to give us some alone time together, before class had started.
Tetsu smiled at me, and we walked with our hands entwined together and a smile on our faces.
