"I love you... I love you... I love you...."
It repeated in my brain like a song that doesn't want to let go yet. I stare at the ceiling of my room and stayed that way all night. I bandaged my wrist but appaently, the bandage is stained with blood again. I need to re-bandage it to be sure that when they see me, everything would be alright. I didn't feel like going to class the next day so I just stared at the ceiling all day and night until I can not stare anymore. I didn't eat, didn't stood up, just stare. I slept with tears running down cheeks.
I went to school the next day and placed a wrist band on my wound. At least by now, the wound is not bleeding like water anymore. I played with them but didn't said anything. Micchy, Megane-kun and Gori are there as well. They monitored us again and Micchy tried hard to make conversation with Megane-kun. I concentrated in playing basketball until the practice was over. Before I can go to the locker room, someone grabbed me on the wrist. I winced in pain since the wound is still fresh. I was dragged towards the back of the gym. That someone is Kaede.
"What do you want?!" I said, rubbing the sore wrist.
"Is it true? Is it true?" he said gripping my shoulder. He was literally shaking me.
"Yamero Kaede, you're hurting me!" Isaid trying to struggle out of his vise-like grip.
"And what about me? You're trying to hurt me intentionally, huh!!? I sthat what you want?!?!?!?"
"What do you care? We are not a couple anymore, you have no place in my life or in my heart!" I yelled and he let go. He was stunned that he just lost everything. I removed his hands from my shoulders and ran out towards the gym. After that encounter, I didn't want anything to happen anymore but I was wrong. I went home that night feeling sorry for myself when I saw Koshino in front of my house, waiting with Sendoh.
"What are you two doing here? What do you want?" I said.
"Kosh here needs to talk to you, he said something important.." I looked at the silent figure behind Sendoh. He didn't make a move.
"Well, spit it out, I don't have all night to listen you know!" I shouted. I'm getting irritated at the silence the are doing. I tried to get pass them and get inside my house and leave them if they want to stay there in silence. As I walked pass them, a hand held my wrist. I turned around and saw Koshino holding it. I glared at the boy.
"Let go.." I said but he didn't. He just stood there as if I didn't said anything. Without any warning, he embraced me and cried whispering don't leave me. I was shocked to see this kind of affection with another male. My eyes widened when I saw Sendoh smirked, a smirk that says: "You loose, he's mine..."
"I guess I'll leave you two lovebirds alone.." he said whle he walked away leaving me with Koshino. I struggled at Koshino's grip but it hardened more.
"Leave me alone Koshino! Let go!"
"No! You're mine, you're mine!" he said and held me tighter. I head butted him. He fell unconscious but I didn't make a move to get him and place him somewhere safe.
"Like it was my fault that he's there!" I said not caring one bit for the Ryonan player sprawled on the sidewalk of his house. I went inside and shut the door.
*ring ring*
"Moshi, moshi?" I said.
"Hana..." I stiffened at the person who said my name. I didn't expect him to call me. "How are you?"
"Kaede!"
"Can I talk to you?"
"H-hai.." I stammered.
"I'm sorry for everything... I know that you're lonely right now but.. as you can see, I can't..."
"Stop, if this was about that incident then I forgive. I understand your outburst and I don't blame you for anything and I'm sorry as well, but it is true though, we are not together anymore and my love life is none of your business..."
"How about your life, Hana..."
"We're still friends Kaede... still friends..."
