Wow, I believe this is the quickest update ever. Today was my day off, so I was really bored. I thought to myself 'hey, why don't I update one of my fanfics?' And with that I sat at my desk and started typing away. So here it is. Just so you know, this story is almost done. I just don't know how many chapters I'm going to write.
Now, from the last chapter, I said that I wanted at least 10 to 15 reviews before I started the next chapter. Maybe I should've rephrased it better. Just so you know, I'm going to finish this story no matter how many reviews I get. The reason why I asked for so many reviews was because I wanted feedback on my story. If there was spelling or grammar errors or if something didn't sound right, I want my readers to let me know. The only way I'm going to improve on my writing is for all you to tell me. I take good and bad criticism. It's only going to help improve my stories
Anyway, let's get this story going!
I DO NOT OWN JUNJO ROMANTICA!
Chapter Ten
(Flashback to when Misaki had hung up on Nowaki.)
(Misaki's P.O.V.)
I couldn't help it. I shut the phone and put it in my pocket. I knew that it was rude but I couldn't speak anymore. Not when it felt like someone was choking me.
What do I do? Usagi-san is furious. If I were to tell him the truth, would he not be angry with me?...No. He would. He told me to not see Haruhiko-san and I didn't listen. I probably deserved it.
With shaky hands, I pulled myself up from the floor and turned the knob.
I can't stay here. Everything is just going out of control that I need to get away. Fast.
Making sure that I didn't make any sounds, I quietly opened the door and took baby steps down the stairs. Putting my shoes on, I took one last look towards Usagi-san's office and whispered 'I'm sorry'.
I really am causing trouble for everyone. Maybe I should just leave. No one wants some annoying teenager around.
I don't know why but I walked over to Sukuzi-san. I looked at the bear and sighed. Hugging him tightly, I placed him back on the sofa. I fixed his tie and patted his head.
"Goodbye Suzuki-san. I'll miss you." I looked toward the stairs, glancing once more towards Usagi-san's room. "You too Usagi-san. I'll…miss you."
Quickly putting on my shoes, I hurried out of the penthouse. I ran towards the elevator, punching the button so it could come. When it finally dinged, I rushed inside. Without realizing it, there was another person inside.
Oh no…
"Well hey Misaki-kun," Isaka-san said, "just the person I wanted to see."
When the doors closed and we were making our way down, he pushed the 'stop' button. I gulped when he looked at me with an angry expression.
(End of flashback)
(Usagi-san's P.O.V.)
After talking with Hiroki, I quickly put my shoes on. Grabbing my car keys, I left the penthouse. I rushed to the elevator. Pushing the button, I waited impatiently.
What the hell is taking so long with the damn elevator? Is it even moving?
I angrily sighed and decided to take the stairs.
For some reason, I felt like there was something wrong. It was like I had to go back to the penthouse or something. I shrugged it off. I had to look for Misaki.
When I finally reached the parking lot, I got in my car and pushed the gas pedal. I didn't even bother with the seatbelt. Of course I ran a few red lights, but I didn't care. All I wanted was my Misaki…and my brother's head.
(Misaki's P.O.V.)
"I-Isaka-san, hahaha….what are you doing?" I backed up away from him, hitting the wall behind me.
"Oh, I just wanted to talk to you. How are you doing anyway?"
"I'm fine, thanks."
I want to get out. He's making me nervous.
"Is Akihiko home?" He asked.
"Y-Yes he is. He probably wants to see you. It's been awhile since you've dropped by."
He laughed.
"I doubt he wants to see me. When he does, he wants to kick me out because he knows that I want him to do some work."
"Hahaha, that's Usagi-san for you."
If only I could I reach that 'stop' button, maybe I can get out of here.
"Well, of course he's always been lazy when it came to his novels, but ever since you showed up, he's getting worse when it comes to his deadlines and conferences," he said in a serious tone.
"M-Me? No, he's always like that."
I think I'm beginning to feel sick.
"You're wrong. Ever since you came to the picture, it's like he doesn't want to make an effort in finishing his novels. I told you to not get in the way but you're doing the opposite."
"That's not true." I could feel heat rising in my eyes. "I always make sure he gets his manuscripts done."
"Does he actually listen? The result of that is no." He then started walking up to me. He was probably one or two feet away from me. He then leaned forward.
"Listen up Misaki-kun, let me remind you again. You living with Akihiko is really stirring up problems for me and the company. Not only is he behind in his work but," he grabbed my chin, pulling my face close to his, "but I don't want to see my friend get hurt. He's famous and people admire his work. If anything unnecessary or scandalous gets in the way of his career, I'll make sure to get rid of that problem myself. I could've sworn we had this conversation before."
"I-Isaka-san, I –"
"Maybe you should move out? I mean, you're old enough to work and have your own place right?"
He released me and I couldn't help but breathe in shaky breaths.
"Anyway, think about what I said." He punched the stop button and I was relieved that the elevator was finally moving again. When we reached the first floor, he had his hand out, gesturing that I get off.
"Ladies first," he said with a smirk.
I rushed out of there, almost tripping as I was trying to get out of the building.
Stupid Isaka. How could he say that? None of it is true…right? N-No! I can't believe a word he says.
I shook my head, telling myself that I wasn't in Usagi-san's way. I don't want to believe it. But…maybe I really am.
(Nowaki's P.O.V)
Damn.
It looks like they still need me. I love my job, but Misaki…he's in trouble right now. I don't know what to do.
I took my phone out to see if he had called again. Nothing.
Misaki, please be all right.
I dialed Hiro-san's number to see if he found him.
"No, nothing yet"he replied sadly, "I've asked around but no one has seen him."
"Hiro-san, I just have a bad feeling that something bad is going to happen to him."
"Baka! Don't say that. I'll find him. If not, then Akihiko will. That brat is ok. He's probably in the store just like I told that stupid author. "
"But Hiro-san…Misaki…he's not stable."
"Yes I know. I mean, who is when they endure something like that? Akihiko's brother is going to die if he comes face to face with that bakahiko."
"N-No Hiro-san, you don't understand…he's really not stable."
Should I tell him? I made Misaki a promise. I can't break it. But…what if something happens and everything gets worse because I didn't say anything.
"What there's more? Jeez Nowaki, you know that I don't like it when you keep stuff from me."
"I know. Listen Hiro-san, Misaki –"
"Dr. Kusama, you're needed in ICU," one of the nurses called out.
"Damn. Hiro-san I have to go. Talk you later. Call me if anything."
"Wait! Nowaki, what were you going to say about Misaki?"
"Sorry Hiro-san, I have to go." I hung up before he could ask more questions.
I'm going to regret this. I know it.
I quickly put my cell away and rushed to ICU.
(Hiroki's P.O.V.)
"What the hell was that? Damn you Nowaki!" I yelled too loudly.
People walking by turned around and stared at me.
"What are you all looking at? Ever see someone talk to himself?" The people staring at me ran away, as if I were going to attack them. I sighed angrily.
Man I wish I had an umbrella. It's freaking pouring! I'm definitely going to catch a cold.
"God I don't have time for this! Where the hell are you Takahashi?"
I left the university and walked towards the park. On my way, I ran into that Keiichi kid.
"Hello Professor Kamijou-sensei. How are you today?"
"Just great, now leave me alone."
I walked passed him only to find him following me.
"Oh, you seem to be in a hurry. Is everything alright?"
Nosey kid I swear.
"No, I'm trying to find someone. Wait!" I turned around and grabbed his shoulders. "You're friends with Takahashi. Do you know where he might be?"
"Misaki? Is he missing?...By the way you're hurting me."
"Oh." I released him and he took some steps away from me.
"What happened to Misaki?" he continued, "Did he run away or something?"
"Yeah-I mean no. I don't know. I'm just trying to find him. Have you seen him?"
"No I haven't , but I don't mind helping. I'm sure we can find him together." He had a smirk on his face, which was a little creepy.
"Fine. I'm actually headed to the park. Two heads are better than one."
I started walking again, with him trailing behind me.
"Why are you so far behind? Walk faster,"I scolded.
"Oh sorry, just have to make a quick phone call." He had a smirk on his face. Again, creepy.
"Well, whoever it is, ask if they'd like to join us to help find Takahashi."
"You know sensei, you read my mind. I believe my friend would love to help find Misaki."
Something was off. I didn't know what but I have a feeling something's going to go wrong.
(Misaki's P.O.V.)
Great. It's raining.
When I reached outside, it was pouring really hard.
Just what I needed.
Taking a deep breath, I tucked my hands in my pocket and started walking. It was all I can do.
Nii-chan. I wish you were here with me. I need my brother. And I need…Mom and Dad.
Since it was raining, I didn't try to hold back my tears. It blended fine with the rain.
How did I get to this point? It wasn't supposed to turn out this way. All I was supposed to do was see my doctor regularly, take my meds and go on with life. It's that simple, right? So why? Why aren't I happy?
As I continued to walk through the rain, I found myself standing in front of the park. There was an empty bench and I went and took a seat. I gazed and stared everything that was in front of me. Hardly anyone was here. I mean it's raining. I'm the only idiot here, sitting in the awful weather.
Even though it's pouring, it's also very nice out here. Peaceful. Undisturbed.
I want to be undisturbed. I want to feel numb. I… don't want to exist anymore.
I got up, walked towards the bridge that was above the pond. I looked down and saw my reflection. All I saw was sad eyes.
There it goes. My mind is running a marathon again. I can't get it to turn off. These images…why won't it stop.
Haruhiko-san, how dare you touch me?
Isaka-san. Why do you hate me so much?
Kamijou-sensei. Even though you embarrassed me in front of the class, you welcomed me in your home.
Usagi-san. You know that I love you, right?
Mom. Dad. I wish you were here with me. So many years have gone by and my heart yearns for your loving touch. Why? Why did you have to go? You didn't have to leave Nii-chan and me behind. But you did it anyway! I hate you for that!
I gasped. I can't believe I just said that. Well, not really but I thought it. I could never hate my parents. They did everything for me and Nii-chan. I'm just angry because they're not here.
"Misaki? Why are you standing in the rain?"
"Sumi-senpai? W-What are you doing here?"
"Looking for you. You know that you got a search party out here for you?"
"What? Why?"
"Misaki, you really are dense. Everyone is freaked out because you were nowhere to be found. Even Usami-san."
"Usagi-san? Really?"
I could feel my cheeks turning red. The thought of him looking for me meant that wasn't angry with me.
"Of course. Actually, he's waiting for you. I'll take you to him."
"You didn't have to do that Sumi-senpai."
"That's what friends are for." He smiled and I couldn't help but smile too.
As we walked, I tried to look for Usagi-san's car but I could spot it.
"Um.. Sumi-senpai, where's Usagi-san's car?"
"Don't you see it? It's up ahead."
I looked again but there was no red sports car. But there was a black limo. I stopped walking.
"What the hell is this?"
"Misaki, it's your ride. Don't be rude."
"That's not Usagi-san's car. He drives a red sports car. Not a limo."
"Really? There's a man that looks just like him. Well, except he has brown hair and dark eyes. You're right, that's not Akihiko." He laughed.
"Thanks for leading me here senpai, but I'll think I'll just walk home. Usagi-san is probably home waiting for me."
I turned and started walking away but someone caught my arm.
"What are you doing?" I yelled. I looked behind me and it was Usagi-ani.
"Misaki, why are you leaving. I was going to give you a ride."
"N-No! I don't want a ride from you! Let go!"
I struggled to get away but he was stronger. He was dragging me towards his car. Sumi-senpai just stood there.
"Sumi-senpai! Aren't you going to help me?"
"Just relax Misaki. He just wants to give you a ride. And if you want, I'll let Akihiko know where you are. I think its good that Akihiko and I spend some time together anyway, right?" He then waved at me as I was pulled into the car.
The window was rolled down and I just started yelling for help. Suddenly I spotted Kamijou-sensei.
"Help sensei!"
I saw his eyes widen and he started running towards my direction. I felt a hand go on my mouth and the window rolled up, the car going into drive, and I saw Kamijou-sensei growing further away from me.
And that's the end of that one. Man, my hands are cramping lol. I think I need a break. I can't help it. I love cliffhangers. Please review Thanks for reading.
