~*~Chapter Two~*~ Cloudy Days

I awoke that morning with a terrible headache.  I got up and went to the bathroom looking in the mirror.

"Geeze..."

            I hissed to my self. I look terrible; eyes red and swollen face all red from crying.  Now if only I could stay in my room so no one could see my face all would be fine except that I have to work.

"Why me!"

            I yelled a little too loudly.  Hopefully everyone was either asleep or not paying attention to it .  Maybe they will think I tripped or something like they usually do.  I went back into my room to get my clothes and towel and went to take a shower.  Unfortunately I was stopped on my way to the bathroom by Yohji.

"So it was you that yelled...I can see why."

            I glared at him while he just grinned back at me as he knew he could hit me where it hurt today.

"Not going to talk to me?  Aww poor Ken didn't have someone to sleep with last night.  Did your little friend Aya leave you on the street?"

            I decided I was just going to ignore him and walk on.  I took my first step and I was stopped by his hand.

"Don't think you're going on without talking to me Ken!"

"Just leave me alone Yohji!"

            I ran past him and into the bathroom locking the door.  What he had said hurt me more than he could know. Why does Yohji have to be such an ass just cause he didn't have someone to sleep with doesn't mean that he has to pick on me? 

            I get into the shower and just stand there letting the warmness of the water seep into me.  So much different from the coldness of my heart.  If only my heart...I shook my head, I cant think of that because it will never happen.

"Ken are you ok? I heard you yelling with Yohji."

            Was that him...Ran did he come to see if I was ok.  He really does care about me, doesnt he.

"Ken?"

            His voice sounds a little more worried.  Worried him. Why would he worry unless he really cared? Like always the memory of the night when he told me to leave him alone popped into my head.

            I get through the mornings

            When I'm alone and you're not here just fine.    

            But now even the memories I can't even handle

            Are like an interrupted movie.

"Ken please answer me!"

"Nani?"

            I replied in an emotionless voice.  Why can't he just leave me alone...but I need...NO! I don't need him.

"Ken are you ok?"

            He sounds like he really cares.

"I'm fine! Can't a person take a shower?!"

            I hear a sigh come from him and the sound of feet walking away from the door.  Did I just say that so meanly?  I sigh and turn off the shower getting out and drying off.  I guess I really screwed up everything right? But than he didn't care anyways, right?

            I get dressed and walk down to the shop grumbling, I didn't want to work today all I wanted to do was stay in my room alone.

            In the shop waiting was Ran.  I went to where some roses were and started working on them not looking at him.  Why did he have to work with me he just made it worse?

"Ken...Are you still mad at me?"

            I stay concentrated on the flowers.  Mad Me?  I guess you could get that from the way I have been acting but than why shouldn't I be mad at him.  With all the things he has done to me. I mean gosh first he pushes me away than he lies by saying that he was scared and than he tries to act like he cares about me.  Geeze Fujimiya Ran how much suffering are you going to put me through?

"Ken please talk to me."

            A warm hand touched my shoulder and turned me to face him.  I looked at the floor refusing to look at him.  Before I knew it I was pulled in to a warm hug.  My hardness was weakening and I then heard that the radio was on...

            The sun has warmed this feeling

            Bit by bit, I want to raise this love

            No I can't let him do this to me...make me feel like he cares about me but my body wouldn't let me push away.  So warm...why refuse such warmness...That's the last thought before I melted and returned the embrace and to hear a soft whisper.

"I love you"
