Goodbye, Usagi
Chapter Sixteen
Will You Never Let Me Go? [Even as My Lies Start to Show...]
[God, this chapter has given me a lot of problems...]
Two days later found a pale, trembling, thin shadow of Usagi standing on a street corner, shakily screaming at the two males expressing concern for her. Ivy had finally threatened to break down the door to Usagi's bedroom--or, rather, hire people to break it down, Ivy herself was far too delicate for such work—if she didn't come out, and so she did. Besides, the previously meatball-headed blonde had told herself tiredly, it really isn't Ivy's fault...I guess...
The other girl had been drunk, too, so she hadn't known what she was doing. And so Usagi had reluctantly opened her door and allowed Ivy to drag her out for a cup of coffee, maybe a cigarette or two. The only problem was, as they were sitting at the model's favorite outdoor cafe, she had received a call from her agent about a modelling job, and with a stilted apology accompanied by a very friendly kiss to the cheek, Ivy had dashed off, leaving Usagi to find her own way home.
On the way home she'd suddenly felt tired—even more so then the usual dragging weariness that seemed to accompany her everywhere lately—cold, and faint—too faint for an eighteen year old. Literally feeling ready to pass out, Usagi had stopped to lean back against a brick wall and close her eyes against the sun beating down relentlessly through black smog that seemed to hover like the curtain of death every time Usagi's mood was black. She'd remained in the position for a period of time--she couldn't say how long, exactly. It could have been minutes, it could have been hours, she wasn't really sure. She had finally opened her eyes, with a moan, only after a shadow fell across her face and didn't appear to be going anywhere.
"You do know what's wrong with you, don't you, Odango?" Seiya had demanded.
"There's nothing wrong with me."
"Why are you lying to us? Anyone could see how thin you've gotten, Usako... You've always been slim, and now you're just overly skinny. It's not attractive. You have anorexia, Usako, anyone could tell." From Mamoru, this time.
Usagi had stared at them both, openmouthed. Her secrets were unravelling before her azure eyes and there was nothing she could do. "Anorexia...?"
"Anorexia." Seiya had nodded.
"Anorexia nervosa." Mamoru had clarified in sync.
In her lightheaded state, this was, obviously, not the sort of talk Usagi had wanted to listen to. In her haste to spin and walk haughtily away from them, she'd grown deliriously dizzy and stumbled over her own feet. The males had exchanged glances and opened their mouths, but before they could begin their condescending speeches Usagi was screaming her head off at them. She was frightened... She didn't want to admit it. So before they could comment she started to yell, hoping to divert their attention. And that's how a pale, trembling, thin shadow of Usagi came to be standing on a street corner, shakily screaming at the two males expressing concern for her.
After a good five minutes, give or take, of not letting the blackhaired, blue eyed men get a word in, the dizzy waves came again, with more intensity then before. Her face paled and she swayed to lean against the wall, feeling acutely sick. She closed her eyes, all hateful words coming from her mouth having ceased.
"Odango?"
She opened her glazed eyes; Seiya's face swimming before them blurrily.
"Seiya," she choked. "Mamoru..."
For the thousandth time in a Tenshi no Megami story, everything went black...
[Should leave it there, but I've made you wait too long for such a shorty...]
[Ugh...I'm struggling... Umm...]
When Usagi awoke, she was once again in a hospital room.
[Oh, that's it, I'm ridiculously sorry, but I just can't finish this chapter. God, it's frustrating…But I'll start redoing the chapter right now. Also, the title doesn't really fit like I intended it to…Gomen…Love ya Serenitas.]
