"Ayako," Ayako heard a familiar voice calling her name with mixture of worry and concern. She stopped writing her notes and fully turned around to face the vice-captain of Shohoku team.
"Oh! Kogure-sempai." Her voice was low which seemed to affect her head also which was lowered down to the ground. Kogure noticed the change on Ayako, she was pretty different for the last couple of days. The usual smiling, cheering manageress turned into an absent-minded girl who was spacing out most of the times.
"Are you alright?" Kogure asked.
"I'm alright, sempai, don't worry." She said tiredly.
"You don't seem fine to me?" He said, "What's bothering you?"
She sighed, "I'm worried about Ryota."
"There's nothing to worry about, Mitsui said that he only got cold and he'll get better in no time." Kogure said smiling.
"Yeah, nothing to worry about." She mumbled looking away, 'Hope he's alright.'
From the court, the shooting guard was watching the two with sad eyes, this couldn't be happening. Did Ryota really got rejected? But, how come? How did Ayako reject him like that? They were meant for each other in everybody's eyes, he never thought that it could end up this way.
Mitsui couldn't think of anything else as an excuse for Ryota's absence except sickness, everyone has cold, don't they? But it wasn't a lie, Ryota was really sick, emotionally sick. His usual red face from blushing became red from anger and Mitsui didn't know how to handle this. He wasn't ever good at those stuff.
He had been watching Ryota helplessly not knowing what to do to help him out of this. All of his attempts to calm the young man down went to no avail, it seemed that time was the only medicine to Ryota for now...
Time.

"Welcome guys, this is another show of LC, listeners' choice. Three hours of your requests. Request online. This is your host, Saffanna Bostami and Mr Gandy is our DJ for this show. Please, enjoy yourselves." The sweet voice of the famous show presenter, Saffanna filled the apartment of Miyagi Ryota as it came out from the small radio in his room, "You can send your requests by email or even let us hear your voice by calling. Anything you want, you got it. Your wishes are our commands."
Ryota sat to his desk, his arms were used as a pillow as his head rested on them. He seemed to be asleep with his closed eyes and his following breaths. But the thing that blew the chance of him being asleep was his tears. Can anybody cry in his sleep?
Although of his miserable condition, Ryota couldn't miss one show of his favorite program. It was his habbit to listen to LC after the practice, he would lay on his bed tiredly and listen to the show until it ends, and curse when the News headlines interrupts the show. He was a good friend of the program, always calling, asking for songs and dedicating. But this time, he wasn't in the mood to do anything.
Anything at all.
"Alright people, that was a good tune by Nelly and Kelly 'Dilemma', seems that it's gonna take the first place in the LC top10, isn't that right, guys?" He heard her voice say lively. He lifted up his head and looked at the radio for few moment, then his hand reached for the phone. His fingers slowly pressed the telephone number of the radio station.
"The radio station, who's talking?"
"Hey, Suzan. It's Ryota." He tried to sound cheerful.
"Hey you, Ryota. How's things goin? I've been waiting for your call." Though he couldn't see it, but he felt her smiled, "I'll put you on air in no time. You just wait, k?"
"ok." He whispered. His hand turning the volume of the radio down.
"And now, we got a caller." Saffanna said taking Ryota's call, "Hello there caller, who's with me?"
"Hey, Saf. It's Ryota with you again."
"Hey, hey, Ryota. How's our faithful friend?"
"Great as long as I'm listening to yer show." Ryota said.
"Nice compliment from you as always." Saffanna said after a soft laugh, "Now, what's yout request for this lovely night?"
"I wanna ask for Total Eclipse Of The Heart, by Bonnie Tyler."
"Lovely one. I guess you want to dedicate it to Aya-chan as usual."
Ryota froze not knowing what to say.
"Ryota?" Saffanna called.
"Ahh, sorry Saffanna. I can't hear you well." He said then he hang up as fast as he could. His trembling fingers raised the volume of the radio.
"And here's your song, Ryota Miyagi. Total Eclipse Of The Heart by Bonnie. Enjoy!"
The song slowly started to play, the words came out from the radio right into Ryota's ears. His heart was beating like crazy as his mind analyzed the words and got their meaning in less than a part of a second. It played in his mind forcing his tired brain to regain the memories of his rejection.
------*****************************------
Turnaround, every now and then I get a
little bit lonely and you're never coming around
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
--------------
Ryota's hands wiped his tears away, he looked at his fingers, at his tears and how they glowed under the light of his lamb. Was this all he got left? His tears? His misery? Was he going to leave this destroy him? Wasn't he planing to get over it? Just forget that this all happened? But it was hard, he knew that. It was hard to face Ayako again.
--------------
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
--------------
She gave him her back and walked away, not even caring about his reaction. She just left him to fall apart at the reply that she gave him. No more hopes of being with Ayako as a couple. No more sending presents to her and flowers as an attempt to get her atention. No more nothing with her, just friends. Only best friends.
--------------
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
--------------
Forever, him with her. He wished that this little dream would come ture. He wished that he could feel her in his arms and know that he could hold her forever without any complaining. But not all dreams come true, not all of them.
--------------
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
--------------
He felt his heart break, though he thought that it had already did when she left him alone in the park. How many times could the little heart of his break? How long could he stand it?
--------------
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight

And we'll only be making it right

"Alright, that was Bonnie Tyler with Total Eclipse Of The Heart. Now, we got an email from.." Saffanna's voice was interrupted by the door bell, Ryota turned violently with his brow shooting up, 'Who'd visit now?'
He stood up and headed to the door cursing silently. He wasn't in the mood to see anybody. Weird how people don't remember him except in his worst conditions. "Who is it?"
"It's me, Mitsui. Open up."
He sighed then opened the door, "What d'ya want?" He asked a little bit angry.
"Only wanted to check on you." Mitsui said with a smile.
"And from when did you become my mother?" Ryota asked angrily.
"From the moment you started to act like a little kid and stay at home." Mitsui replied.
"Are you here to annoy me? You know that I'm not in the mood!" Ryota said getting back to his room. Mitsui followed after he closed the door. He rushed to Ryota's room, the music crept into his ears.
"Listening to some music?" Mitsui said jumping on the bed.
"Hey, watch it! I dun wanna sleep on the ground today." Ryota shouted, "You're no that light, y'know."
Mitsui sighed sitting on the side of the bed, "Aren't you going to get over this?"
"And why the hell would you care?! I'll get over it whenever I want." He shouted.
Mitsui got up and gave Ryota a quick shake, "Wake up, God dammit. Everything kept moving in this world, why can't you do so?"
"Hands off!" Ryota shouted his face becoming red with his fists clenched. His body trembled violently from anger, "I'm trying, God DAMIIT! I'm trying!" His eyes started to pour tears, "I just can't! It's not easy!"
Mitsui bit his lip at his best friend's sight. He approached him slowly and wrapped his arms around him, "Hey, it's ok. You'll see, everything would be ok."
He felt Ryota clinging to him burying his face against his chest. His tears found their way into Mitsui's tee-shirt weting it and crawling down to his chest weting it also.
He unconsciously patted on Ryota's back, but was he feeling his face getting hot? What was going on? He prayed to God the Ryota wouldn't feel his crazy-beating heart.
"Thanks Mitsui." Ryota's voice came muffled, but Mitsui was able to get it.
"Hey, no thanks between us, bud." Mitsui said smiling. He pulled Ryota from his hug, "Now, go and wash your face and get some rest. I'll see you tomorrow at school, ok? I want to see you there."
"ok." Ryota whispered.
"But don't you dare to stay at home, 'cause if you did, I'll come here and pull you there from your ear." Mitsui smirked.
"Hai, dun worry. I'll be there." Ryota smiled.
"Ok, see ya later then." Mitsui said heading to the door and leaving Ryota alone. He walked in the streets under the lambs' light. He had a smile on his face, everything is becoming fine. He hoped it would stay that way until the end.
