Chapter 27 Ryouta

The next day Nagisa wakes up at 2 o'clock in the morning and walks to Ryouta's room "Why are you up" Nagisa asked "I couldn't sleep what about you" Ryouta said "I'm sorry" Nagisa said "We never told you how we started dating" Ryouta said "It was my first year of middle school after you and Honoka graduated things changed Hikari started getting bullied and some days were worse than others one day I found her crying at lunch and she said that some boy threatened her and I said she shouldn't be crying so I sat with her a we talked until lunch was over" Ryouta said "She never told us" Nagisa said "She was afraid that the boy might hurt her" Ryouta said "What happened" Nagisa asked "One day the boy raped Hikari and she got pregnant when she found out she wanted to have a abortion but she didn't want to tell anyone so I drove her this was during her last year of middle school then after that high school was fine then she got through her first year of college had Hoshi and I proposed to her but mom shot her and a series of events happened and she died but she's in a better place now" Ryouta said "This is my fault I'm sorry tell Honoka and Sanae I love them" Nagisa said walking out "Don't please I need you please don't kill yourself" Ryouta said "I lost Hikari I can't lose you too" Ryouta said as Nagisa comes back in "You know the blonde hair and your eyes even if Hikari is gone she will always be inside Hoshi" Nagisa said "When I look at Hoshi I see Hikari" Ryouta said "it doesn't mean that I don't feel terrible about this because this is my fault" Nagisa said "Stop blaming yourself this isn't your fault Hikari was just being herself and she didn't want you to die so don't blame yourself blame mom and dad because it's their fault" Ryouta said hugging Nagisa "You should get some sleep" Nagisa said "You should too" Ryouta said as he got into bed and falls asleep "Sweet dreams Ryouta" Nagisa said as she went back to the bedroom and got back in bed and fell asleep

They wake up at 9 o'clock in the morning and got dressed "Nagisa got out of bed today" Honoka said "Thank goodness" Miyuki said "Ryouta thank you" Honoka said "For what" Ryouta asked "You got Nagisa out of bed" Honoka said "Your 2 am chat this morning really helped" Honoka said "I just told her about how Hikari and I started dating" Ryouta said "Where did she go" Ryouta asked "She didn't say she just said life is short" Honoka said

Nagisa went to her parents house "Nagisa~Mepo Why are you here~Mepo" Mepple asked "I'm going to try and rekindle our relationship" Nagisa said hoping this doesn't go wrong as she knocks on the door and her mother answers and before Rie has time to speak Nagisa immediately says "I know that you guys are probably never going to agree with my love life but I would still like to try and rekindle our relationship but I understand that you believe what you believe and I can't change that but try and rekindle your relationship with Ryouta even if you don't want anything to do with me try with Ryouta after all he loved Hikari and she died saving me if I could go back to that moment I would have just died before letting them go in front of me I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused you" Nagisa said walking back home into the kitchen

"You're back" Ryouta said "Everyone is in the living room" Ryouta said "I went to see mom" Nagisa said "are you crazy" Ryouta yelled " Not crazy but trying to make her see the errors of her way especially since she hurt you the most I wish I could go back to that moment maybe if I stopped when I did Hikari would still be alive" Nagisa said as the others listened from the living room "I don't want you to die sure rekindling our relationship with mom and dad would be great but I think you're hoping for the best I know you never hated them you were just mad at them but you never tried to slavish your relationship until today because you realized that life is short and you shouldn't dwell on the past and focus on the future" Ryouta said "That's why I went but I just wish that you were happy you put on a brave face but you're hurting inside because you love Hikari and some part of you wishes you could do that but you won't" Nagisa said "I wish I married Hikari and had more kids then Hoshi would be a big sister" Ryouta said
