Deep Dark Secret
Chapter 6 - Solution
"The only way for you to get out of me telling your father is to not have any new cuts on Monday." He looks at Michiru, but continues talking to Haruka. "Are you and Miss Kaiou really close?"
Haruka nodded and takes Michiru's hand, just as tightly as before. Searching for any reassurance that she would be fine, and that nothing would happen to her.
"If you're really close to Michiru, I'm going to have her check over your body, and count the number of cuts that you've got. I'll leave you both alone in here, come and get me when you're ready." he stands and closes the curtain behind him and leaves the room.
Haruka broke down and cried, it was the first time she had cried in years. Her smaller female friend took her into her arms, comforting her. "I'm sorry. But Haruka, honey, I had to tell someone. I hope you're not mad at me." She looked into the blondes eyes, searching for a responce, praying that she wouldn't be angry.
Haruka gave no responce to her and started unbuttoning her jacket, and then her shirt under it. Under the shirt Haruka had binding on her chest, to better disguise herself from most people. She slowly undid the binding, allowing Michiru time to count all the cuts and scars on her chest, shoulders, arms and stomach. After the binding was off, Michiru continued counting the number of cuts around her breasts and she moved to her back, where there were only a few up by her shoulders. Haruka took off her shoes and her pants, showing both her strong legs, both being covered in small nicks and old scars. Michiru reached the last cut. There was a final total of 65. She turned around, allowing Haruka to have some privacy while she redressed.
They shared a quick hug before opening the door to find the counselor. After he was called back in, Michiru gives him the total number of cuts.
"I counted 65." she said while holding Haruka's hand.
The older man continued with his explination. "Come Monday, I will have Michiru count the number of cuts and scars again, if the total number is bigger, I will have to tell your parents and then report this to the board of education. I'm trusting you not to do anything stupid over the weekend. Try to get out, go visit your friends go to the movies, do something to get your mind off of this. ok?" he makes the statement, hoping he's getting through to this troubled young woman.
"I understand." Haruka checks her watch and sees that they only have an hour left in school. He makes a suggestion to the counselor "May Michiru and I stay up here the rest of the day, I don't think I'll be able to stand sitting in class for an hour."
"Sure, both of you can stay in the conference room until the bell rings at the end of the day. Just come with me." he stood and walked out of his office and down a short hallway, leading them to the larger room, with comfortable office chairs in it.
"Thank you." Michiru says and closes the door. "Oh Haruka, I'm so sorry." she hugged her friend.
Michiru tried to stay strong and not cry, but she couldn't help it, and she let her tears come again "Don't worry about it love, you did the right thing, and I thank you for that."
They sat in there talking about old times, and flirting madly for the next hour, when the ending bell rang, Haruka offered Michiru a ride home, and she gladly excepted...
When they pulled up in from of Michiru's home, they shared a quick kiss. "Promise me you won't do anything stupid, I don't want anything to happen to you, I care too much about you to risk losing you."
"I can't make any promises Michiru, and you know that." and with that Haruka put her car in gear and sped away. Leaving Michiru to think and wonder all that weekend
