Departure

"I'm sorry about everything." Shuuichi Minamino silently said. Strands of red hair swinging on his forehead as the wind caressed it. His green eyes so soft like that of an angel. He walked graciously and moved at the far end of the school rooftop. He turned and faced the sad blue spheres that looked at him. Her lips as red as an English Rose, quivered. Tears began straining her cheeks. Her beautiful face was shadowed by the eerie glow of the sun's rays slightly blocked by dark clouds.

"Why does it have to be you?" She brushed her eyes with the back of her hand and sniffled.

"She's so innocent just like a kid." He thought then smiled. "It's not like you to cry over a simple stuff like this. Come on. Give me that mega-watt smile." He gently coaxed.

"How could I smile when the person I care about the most will be heading on a dangerous journey, risking his life?" She wanted to shout the words but she didn't dare say. "It'll never be the same without you Shuuichi. I'll. I'll never be happy again!" With that, she turned and walked away. Upon reaching the door, she said, "I love you Minamino. I can't bear to see you go. but if I can't change your mind.then.goodbye." She burst into tears and ran down the stairs closing the door behind her. Shuuichi turned to the clouds above.

"You know I love you Maya. I really love you." He said blinking back tears.
