Chapter 11

Tear Drops on My Guitar

I closed the door behind me, immediately at the sight of Yuuki approaching. I would not want to talk to her, not after those days crying on the shoulders of other men. Is she a slut? I'm starting to believe Hibari now, though there are still some uncertainties. What if my eyes were deceiving me? What if this is just another misunderstanding? Or have I gone paranoid? Now I know how it feels to be hurt, to suffer the pain of seeing your girlfriend with another man.

There were three knocks on my door but I refused to open. The gentle tapping was no doubt hers, I could recognize it right away.

"Senpai, I know you're there." And that pleading soft voice confirmed my conclusion. Indeed, it was Yuuki. I hugged my knees, blocking the door of my door. I felt vulnerable and suddenly my eyes grew wet; I was crying.

"Senpai, please hear me speak." However I grew numb. I closed my eyes and closed my ears, not wanting to hear even the slightest sound of her breathing. I felt like a girl who finally saw the cheating of her boyfriend- ironically I was that same guy.

She stopped knocking and I sighed, thinking she finally has given up and had went home. Suddenly, I heard someone playing the guitar.

[Not Nanba's POV]

Everyone looked at the girl who stood at Nanba's door, playing the guitar. They were curious why she was doing that?

"Yuuki, what are you doing?" Mizuki asked, she's the only person who had the courage to approach her after seeing those pictures. Ashiya remained a friend to her even if others did not like that fact. Yuuki did not speak and just gave her a smile, assuring her that she knows what she's doing and that she's really okay.

Then she started singing and playing, Taylor Swift's Tear Drops on My Guitar. Others found it preposterous and weird, others found it entertaining and others simply did not care. But for Yuuki, this was her sorry, attempting to mend whatever she broke, pulling whatever has been pushed away. Tears were flowing from her eyes dropping down to her guitar.

[Nanba's POV]

She continued playing that stupid song. Well, it was a nice song but stupid because she used it to embarrass herself in front of my dorm mates. They're feasting on her idiocracy. By now they're chattering, scattering gossips about her little act.

I opened the door; thought there still was a part of me hesitating. I don't know what I'll see and how I'll react on it. For all I know I can't stand thinking of her being laughed at. True enough everyone was looking at her with some people whispering.

There she was standing on my door, playing her guitar.

"Tomare. [Stop]" I ordered her to halt. She looked at me with a simple smile, tears still flooding from her eyes. I could not stand it- whatever those tears meant; I just couldn't stand the fact that she shed it for me. Have I caused those to flood from her eyes? Or are these tears of her guilt?

"I know that you'll tell me that girls are not supposed to serenade guys but senpai, I claim to have the rightful reason to do so." She spoke. And she got it right. Why should girls serenade guys when it's man's duty to do so? However Yuuki, still did that for me; embarrassing herself in front of everybody.

"Yuuki, are you aware of the humiliation this bringing you?" I asked her, revealing the crowd pf eyes flooding directly at her.

"That I do not care. I've done something insensitively terrible, therefore I must do what I have to." Her words took me aback. No woman is as pure and genuine as she is. But is this really true? But what if she's just another flower talker like me?

"Yuuki, please stop this."

"Face it, Minami, you are the only person who can stop this havoc. You have to forgive her and ask for her forgiveness as well." Dr. Umeda had been there, watching us. I looked at him, wondering what he wants from us. What business does he have with this?

"Uncle, why are you being nosy?" I asked.

"I have all the right to be nosy. I can't stand a girl crying." Everyone was surprised. We all know he's gay and he would never such. I never heard him.

"Acting so manly, hast world turned upside-down, uncle?" I mocked him.

"Crying in his bed room for the fact that his girlfriend "cheated" on him…. Should I not ask the same question to you, Minami?" He mocked me back, not caring about Yuuki's feelings. Such an insensitive gay.

"Chotto… Stop fighting, please." Yuuki halted us before the tension spurs up. " All I wanted to do was say sorry to you, senpai."

"Yuuki, pleas…"

"I know a thousand of sorry is not enough to mend whatever I've broken but I'm ready to stitch it day by day." She knelt before me, putting out a silver ring. What in stupidity is this? A proposal? Girls are not supposed to be the one proposing. I saw everyone's eyes bulged out in surprise, their jaws dropping open.

"Senpai, would you accept me to be your girlfriend again?" She asked; I was shocked.

"This is preposterous. Yuuki, we never broke up."

"Does that mean you forgive me?" She asked.

"Stand up." I refuse to answer the question.

"Do you forgive me senpai?" And she refused to stand up. I sighed. I surrender. I can't take this anymore. She means a lot to me and I would never want her to suffer like this.

"I never was angry at you. I was just hurt but Yuuki, believe me or not I kept loving you even amidst the havoc in my heart. Everything came so fast, it was bizarre and there were a lot of uncertainties but what thing remains sure and constant, it is the fact that I love you." She hugged me tightly. It sent everyone smiling except Nakao, another gay.

"Another petty quarrel finally closed." I heard Nakao say.

I thought I was going to let her go. I thought I was going to lose her because of my selfishness and irrationality but she pulled me back, making sure the chains that connected us won't brak apart.

[Not Nanba's POV]

"You get to have it your way again little miss supermodel but that would not last long…" The predator laughed evilly. She has more plans to come and would make sure that Yuuki would fall down whatever means it would have her to do. 'Yuuki would crumble as that of her tears splashing on her guitar.'

Thanks for reading everyone. I hope you enjoyed it and please do review. It means a lot to me.
