A/N: I'm back. And with a chapter that should've been released BEFORE the first day of school chapter. But, oh well, she can get out of school for this, right? :D But, that must be a VERY late graduation we're talking about here…
And, if you're wondering, this totally happened to me, just I was going to my brother's graduation instead of a friends, and uh, yeah. It was horrible, and only like what? AFTER September did I find out that his ex girlfriend did it. I still didn't forgive him. And I hold it against him (and then we went out, broke up and he's just as annoying as ever. End of story). So, yeah. I thought this would've been something…. Depressing to add to the series. And then yes, it will go along the story line with Naoto BSing everything. :D How's that?
So, uh, enjoy? I'd suppose? :D Uh, yeah… and be sure to look out for a new Persona series story… in the near future! :D
Disclaimer: It's love. Your love. Love yourself. Or else. ;D I don't own that song, nor do I own these characters, but I do own the experience. ;D… that should be a sad face… ):
[A Lost Friend]
Today, even if it was rather late, was the day of my friend's graduation. A happy day of sorts. Though along with it being my friend's graduation, it was also the last day that we would be spending in Tokyo. Besides, I had to get back to school (even though I'm perfectly fine with staying here), right?
We got up early so that we would have enough time to finish packing and to get ready. Our plan was to simply put all of our things near the door, go to the graduation, stay for the party, go back to the hotel room to pick up our bags, and take an overnight train back to Inaba. Simple, right? Not really since Tohru apparently misplaced one of his favorite socks.
"Tohru!" I stood in the doorway waiting for him to find his "prized possession". I was wearing a simple white blouse and some nice black dress pants with some black flats. Just something quick and easy to put on and take off. "We're going to be late!"
A head popped up from the side of the bed with a worried, yet annoyed expression. "But I need these socks! If I don't have them, I'll die!" The head disappeared again.
I sighed. "You won't die." I crossed my arms over my chest and looked to my left, and coincidentally, his favorite socks just so happened to be there. I strolled over to them and held them up. "Look. I found them, now can we go?"
The head appeared on the other side of the bed, but this time with n excited smile. "Omigod! Naoto!" He jumped up and almost tackled me in the process of trying to get to his socks. "I. Love. You. So. Much! What would I ever do without you?"
"You would probably die from suffocation from not cleaning up." I said not really caring much about his excitement. I looked down at my watch. "Ok, enough chit-chat! We need to head out now!"
"Whoa! Wait!" Adachi said in surprise as I grabbed his wrist and dragged him out of the room.
Ah, yes. Train rides. Extremely soothing and comforting… if you're an elder. If not, it's along the lines of pure hell. Especially if the ride lasts for another hour and a half.
I looked over at Adachi who was fast asleep (probably dreaming about his socks) and let out a brief sigh. If only I had the ability to sleep through almost anything, but sadly, I don't. In response, I pulled out my iPod and my phone so I could listen to music while I text!
Now the question is, who can I text? I scrolled through the list of people I had last sent a text to just to see who would be most likely to respond to my messages. No one really, realizing a majority of them wake up around five… in the afternoon. So, I decided to do the next best thing: Who's inbox could I spam? And there was only one person, a foreigner actually, whose inbox I could spam. His name: Bob.
Before I started, I sent him a warning. "Hey, Bob, just so that you know, I'm going to be spamming your inbox until I get bored of it or reach my destination." I added a smiley face for good measure, before I sent it.
Now that that was done, what would I spam his inbox with? I looked down at the iPod in my hand and smiled. I'd spam his inbox with the lyrics to the songs I'm listening to!
And hour and twenty-five minutes passed as I continuously spammed his inbox. He never replied, so I just thought he was busy with something like he always is.
Though just as I got off the train with a now fully awake Adachi, I realized something quite critical…
The lyrics I had spammed his inbox with were from love songs. Not only that, but he has a crazy girlfriend…
Let's just hope he brushes it off as me joking around like I always do.
The graduation went well and party was quite impressive. Though, I give kudos to the cake since it was by far the best thing at the party.
Everything was going well until we were on the train ride back home. Once again, Adachi was all settled for the long ride back, only this time, snoring was included. I pulled out my iPod and changed the song to You by KAT-TUN before I switched it to Daite Senorita by Yamashita Tomohisa. And of course, nothing goes better with Daite Senorita than texting. So I pulled out my phone and prepared to do just that.
Though, once I did, I noticed I had about three missed alerts. Meaning, I had about 3 texts and apparently 2 were from Bob. A smile grew onto my face as I thought of how he'd react, but as I opened it to read it, my smile soon disappeared.
Ok heres how it goes you are a weird stalker and you scare me I DON'T LIKE YOU and your breath smells really bad you need MOUTHWASH seriously leave me alone!
My mood suddenly went from good to bad. I was pissed, be even though I was, I decided to read the other message he sent me.
You walk like a retarded dinosaur and you creep me out.
That was it. I had it with him. He totally pissed me the fuck off. Like, how was I supposed to know I would get a response like this for something that we typically did to each other on a daily basis? Especially since we'd joke around like that too!
Tears began to fall uncontrollably as I sat there, clutching my phone. My mind was pretty much blank except for the few questions that flew through it.
Does he really mean that? Did someone else steal his phone and text that to me just so that our friendship would be ruined? Why did he have to say it in such a mean way? Was he lying when he told me that he actually cared how I felt just a few weeks ago? Did he plan for this day to happen from the day we met? Were all those late night phone conversations for nothing? Was he just pretending to be my best friend this whole time so that he could easily mess with my feelings? If so, then why was it me? Why wasn't it his girlfriend that got all the wrath or maybe even some of his friends? Why just me?
I knew I had to remain clam and think rationally, but I just couldn't. I felt betrayed, lost, lonely, and above all, majorly depressed. I soon began to jump to conclusions. Did everyone hate me? Are all my friends pretending to be my friend so that they could all just betray me in the end?
I looked over at Adachi who was fast asleep and began to wonder. Did he really love me? I couldn't be sure. Yet, with all of my friends, I couldn't be sure if they wanted to be my friend or just use me so that they could mess with my emotions.
After about a few minutes of thinking irrational thoughts and quietly sobbing, as to not distract Adachi or any of the other passengers, I quickly wiped my tears away and turned my phone off. I opted to sit in silence until we had finally arrived in Inaba.
The next morning, I woke up early, seeing as though I couldn't sleep throughout the night. Thankfully, it was still dark outside, giving me about three hours until Adachi woke up. I could use this time to just run away, seclude myself from the outside world, just for a few days though. And surely enough, school and work can wait. I might even just move back in with Grandfather.
I quietly made my way over to my drawer and pulled out enough clothes for my five day get away. Once I was all packed, I made my way to the kitchen and made an elaborate breakfast for Adachi, seeing as this may be the last I ever make for him, and just made a simple piece of toast for myself.
As I slipped on my shoes, I took one last look at the apartment. I surely wouldn't forget the fun times I had while living here. I slowly opened the door and let out a sigh before I stepped out.
"Naoto…?" A sleepy voice called out from the moderately dark room. A sleepy Adachi appeared moments later. "What are you doing?"
I looked at him for a moment before tightening my grip on my bag. I stayed silent for a while before I couldn't stand it any longer. A tear rolled down my cheek. "You're just like Bob, aren't you? You… You don't love me. You're just messing with me, aren't you!" I shouted the last part before Adachi suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me into a tight embrace.
"What ever made you think that?" He sounded serious as he tightened his grip. I remained silent. "Who told you that!" He asked more assertively this time.
"Bob… It's all his fault…" I said softly, trying not to cry.
"What did he say?" He pulled me away and stared at me.
"He said things that hurt my feelings and made me rethink things?" I replied after a while.
He let out a sigh. "Who give a fuck about what the foreigner says?" His hands squeezed my arms. "Just because he told you off and stopped being friends with you doesn't mean that everyone else hates you or doesn't love you." He brought a hand up and wiped away a tear. "You know that I love you so much. You know that I would die without you. You know that the Inaba police station wouldn't be able to work on the case without you there. And what about all the girls that have fallen for you? Do you want to hurt them too? Are you just going to leave them before you even tell them the truth about yourself?"
I shook my head slowly, trying to absorb everything he said.
"Don't you ever say stupid stuff like that again." He snatched the bag out of my hands. "Now get yourself back inside the house. You're taking the day off."
"Why…?" I asked even though I was sort of glad I didn't have to go.
"So that you can understand that there are people in this world who love you and wouldn't want for you to leave them." His expression lightened a bit. "Now go on, get inside, the sooner we can get this over with the sooner you can get back to what ever the hell you wanted to do."
A/N: Omg. That sucked, but I saw it in a pile of stories I had, and I was like I NEED TO RELEASE THIS! And I must say, this is the way I reacted, not how she would've… at least I don't think. :/ And now I'm beginning to think this was a useless chapter… Oh well. :/
So, uh, that's the end of it. And those text messages were exactly the same as the ones I had received. Needless to say, Bob is no longer in her life, but unfortunately, I still have yet to rid myself of that guy. Just kidding in case he's reading this….or am I? :O
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and hopefully I can get around to playing P4 and adding more to this!
After I finish my 17th play through of P3. :]
So, uh, yeah. :D Bye.
