"Talking" 'Thinking'
A/N: This can not truly be one of my stories without something bad.
Btw, I really really hate this chapter. And I swear the next one will be better.
As always thank you Kiscia for reviewing and keeping me going.

The Great Escape
Let it die
Apr. 3
Haruka used to say that Tomochika was the best girlfriend in the world. She never complained about the stupid little things that she was prone to do. Tomo was always sweet and gentle. She loved talking things out, and making sure that everything was fine. Cuddling was a must, every single day. There was never a thing as to many kisses.
That's how she used to be.
Lately Haruka had noticed a subtle change. Tomo wanted to talk less, cuddles and kisses disappeared completely. And Haruka just didn't understand.
"Tomochika?" She knocked on the older women's closed bedroom door. "Tomo it's been so long since we talked."
"I'm busy." Shibuya said from just beyond the door.
"I miss you." Haruka said. "Text me when you want to talk. I'll be at Syo's."
"Bye." Tomochika said coldly.
Haruka opened her mouth, as if to speak once more, but quickly closed it. Whatever Tomochika's problem was, words weren't fixing it. Then again, how could they? How could she even begin to fix something when she didn't know what was wrong.
She let her head fall against the door in surrender. She knew that she could wait until Tomo was ready to talk. She could wait as long as it took. Anything... anything for her girlfriend's sake.

"I don't even know what to do or say." Haruka sobbed. The cup of tea that rested in her hands shook gently as her body trembled. Her mascara smeared down her bright cheeks.
"Okay?" Kaoru looked at her from the other side of the table.
Haruka sniffled. Her golden eyes looked up at Kaoru. The blonde looked tired, bored, and somewhat annoyed. "I'm sorry. It's just Syo was supposed to be here."
"No, it's fine. Go ahead." He said, not a hint of sarcasm to be found.
"I'm okay now." She wiped away a tear. "What about your girlfriend? How is she?"
"Who cares." He grumbled.
" Oh, Kaoru, what aren't you telling me?"
He looked away, placing his chin on the palm of his hand. "A lot."
"Tell me." She whinned. "It will be like swapping women troubles. Guys do that, right?"
He frowned. "Anything to get you to stop crying."
Haruka gave a silent cheer. "Go ahead."
"Me?"
"Yes, you."
"Why?"
"I already told you about... my girlfriend. It's your turn now."
"You wouldn't even tell me her name."
"That's not important, is it?" Haruka shrugged him off.
"It really is." He said.
"Nah. Just go on."
He sighed. "What girlfriend? She dumped me months ago."
"No!" The redhead gasped.
"Yes."
"But I still see her in the council room all the time."
He looked at her. "Well it's not like we aren't friends."
"No way."
"Stop it." Frustration deep in his voice. "You're such a girl!"
"Aren't I supposed to be?" She laughed.
"But you're a lesbian."
"So?" She said offended.
"Well... I mean..."
"What do you mean?" She cocked a finely manicured eyebrow at him.
"I... uh.." He stammered. "Tell me what to day."
"Say you're sorry."
"Sorry."
"So," She smiled. "Why did you two break up?"
He wanted to throw his hands up at her. She could obviously tell he didn't want to talk about it, but she still tried. He didn't know how Syo put up with her, this girl was impossible. "Ugh!"

"How do they make it through Saturdays?" Haruka whinned.
She had nothing better to do than lounge around on her bed. Sure she could have bugged Kaoru again, but he seemed really... antisocial the night before. Syo was apparently out with someone, And Otoya had 'better things to do'.
"I wish Tomo would just talk to me." She sighed to herself, flipping the page of her book. "Life without Tomo is so boring."
She couldn't help but let another sigh escape. Pushing herself up she did what she had wanted to do since the night before. Haruka strutted across the apartment, right up to Tomo's door, and knocked loudly.
"Go away Haruka." The long haired woman's voice called through that horrid closed door.
"I just want to see you're face. Please!"
She could hear the other female shuffle from beyond. The door clicked and slowly opened. Her face pinched in aggravation. Shirt sloppily falling off her shoulder, a sight that Haruka loved to see. But her eyes, they told the truth.
"What's wrong?" Haruka asked before Tomochika could get a word out edgewise.
"Haru.."
"It's okay, whatever it is you can tell me." The highschooler pleaded. Whatever her loving girlfriend was hiding, she was obviously hiding for her sake.
"At the end of this school year, I'm being transfered..."
"That's amazing!" Haruka was a little confused. Why did she keep such great news?
"To New York."
"Oh." The whole other side of the country, and no where near where Haruka had already planned to go to college.
"So let's break up."
"Woah, wait." Haruka said, her eyes widened. "I'll follow you there, no big deal. Let's not do anything rash."
Tomochika let out a sigh, she leaned an arm on the door. "I don't want you to follow me."
"But!"
"No."
"I love you!" Haruka mumbled weakly.
"This is my decision. And it's final."
"Tomo I love you!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, finally finding her voice.
"That's too bad." Tomochika turned away, letting the door click behind her as she receded back into her room. The door might have been made of wood, but it wasn't thick enough for Haruka to hear her beloved girlfriend whisper. "I don't love you."
