You Get Me
Chapter 13
He was being strong for Kina. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for putting you through this. I know…you're angry, and I just want you to know that…you don't have to stay with me if you don't want to." Kina kind of did feel better, because she didn't want Nuriko or anyone to be unhappy.
~~
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild, wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore
Let me be the one you call
~~
Nuriko had straightened, and was staring at her with wide eyes. The gap between them was closed in an instant. He hugged his friend tightly, no, not friend, sister. "It'll be ok, we'll all protect you. We all love you, I just wish you didn't feel like you had to hide it all this time. I'll tell the others and we'll all protect you."
~~
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
1.1 You're not alone
When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day
Let me be the one you call
~~
"No! Don't tell Yue or Hotohori! Don't tell anyone! YOU CAN'T ANYONE NURIKO!" Kina panicked, pulling away from his embrace. "If you do, somebody will get hurt! All the people I love are so unhappy because of me. They've got such sad faces. I don't want to see them looking like that anymore!"
"Nobody will be sad because of you, we'd only be sad if we lost you!" He pleaded with her.
~~
1.2 If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone
Because there has always been heartache and pain and when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again
~~
"Promise me, promise me Nuriko that you won't tell anyone! Please!!!" She fell down on her knees, her arms clinging to his legs.
"I promise, I promise." He kneeled down, wrapping his arms around her, "It'll be ok. You're not alone anymore. I'm here for you. I'll protect you." He stroked her back gently as she cried into his chest.
"T-thank you Nuri...you mean so much to me." She said in between sobs.
"Same goes for you." The corners of his mouth flinched into a small smile.
~~
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild, wild heart
1.3 Let me be the one you call if you jump
I'll break you fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone
~~
"Hey, what's going on in here?" Yue pulled open the door to find Nuriko and Kina both curled up together, asleep. He smiled at them and began to chuckle to himself. Slowly, he crept over to them and shook them awake. "Morning sleepy head."
"Morning." Kina stretched as Nuriko stood up.
The purple haired bishonen turned and winked at Kina, "I'll be in the kitchen with Hori." And with that, he left.
Nuriko looked down at the floor as he walked. So now he knew what was going on, but he couldn't do anything about it. He had now become as helpless as Kina had been.
"Find anything out?" Hotohori asked Nuriko as he walked into the kitchen.
"N-no." Nuriko sighed, staring out the window.
~*~
Yue stared at Kina across from the room, "You ok?" He questioned her.
"Of course I'm fine..." She muttered back.
~~
Hey, if we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defenses
And secret hiding places
I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's all right
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man
~~
Yue reached out to Kina but he let his arm fell limply by his side. He felt so distant from her, when had this wall been erected between them? How did he let this happen? At one time they would tell each other anything and he would still tell her anything, but it seemed as if she didn't care anymore. A strange silence filled the room as Kina stared at the floor and Yue stared at Kina. He couldn't stand it anymore
~~
Hey, more than angry words
I hate this silence
It's getting so loud
Well I want to scream
But bitterness has silenced these emotions
It's getting hard to breathe
1.4 So tell me isn't happiness
Worth more than a gold diamond ring?
~~
"KINA! What is going on?!" He said softly but forcefully, making his voice sound like a hiss.
"N-nothing Yue. I'm perfectly fine. Nothing is going on." Her voice trembled as she lied to him again. How many lies this time? How deep was she digging herself into a giant hole? Was it ever going to end? She was going round and round in circles and just breaking the glass around her. She was opening the hatch to let all the water in.
"Don't lie to me." Yue whispered hoarsely.
~~
I'm willing to do anything
To calm the storm in my heart
I've never been the praying kind
But lately I've been down upon my knees
Not looking for a miracle
Just a reason to believe
I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's all right
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man
~~
"I know your true self is concealed behind an confused, sad mask. The mask of a broken woman without any laughter, tears or happiness. But don't you think it's gone on long enough? Haven't you grown tired? Isn't about time you take off that horrible mask once and for all?" Yue begged with her.
"I don't know what you're talking about. If you keep talking like that...I- I'll...I'll hate you forever!!!!" She screamed at him as the room blurred from the tears filling her eyes. She put her hands over her mouth, in dumfound at her own words.
Yue stepped back in shock. His white bangs shadowed his melancholy eyes. "I understand. I'm going out now." She listened to his footfalls as he left the room and then the house.
~~
Do you remember not long ago?
When we used to live for the nighttime
Cherish each moment
Now we don't live we exist
We just run through our lives
1.5 So alone
That's why you've got to hold me
~~
"How could I have said that to Yue? Yue is the one who taught me that blue skies meant happiness. Yue is the one who taught me that the sound of the streams, the sound the wind makes, the flowers with no names and everybody's smiles meant happiness. Yue, when I think of you, you're there with me. Even when we're apart, we're always together. That's why I feel so happy when I'm truly alone right now." Kina muttered as she cried into her hands
