Chapter 10: Truth Revealed
Michiru climbed out of the taxi, thanked the driver and paid him when a familiar black jeep pulled up next to her. The aqua haired girl groaned inwardly when Brad climbed out, a somehow weird glint in his eyes. "What do you want now?" Michiru asked. "I told you, I'm dating Haruka, so leave me alone!" "Yes, I know that you're dating Haruka!" Brad shot back. "But there are a few things you should know about him!" Michiru frowned. "And that would be?" Brad gave her a weird smile. "You know…" he then started.
"Don't wait until Monday." Makoto spoke, earning a glare from Haruka. "Oh, so you think I should tell her right now? And ruin her weekend?" Makoto let out a sigh. "Haruka, you'll ruin her day anyway. Just tell her now and get over it." Haruka sighed, nodded and stood up to get her jacket.
"No." Michiru whispered, shock in her blue eyes. "No. That can't be true…" Brad just smirked and nodded. "It is, Michiru." "Well, Tenoh…if I can't get her…you won't get her either." He thought to himself. "Just ask Haruka, he'll tell you that it's true." Michiru shook her head, her eyes filling with tears. "Just ask." Brad repeated before he got into his jeep and drove off, leaving the now crying Michiru behind.
Haruka pulled her car up to the parking lot in front of the apartment house Michiru lived in and got out, walking over to the door. She pressed the button of the intercom, and soon Michirus voice came, sounding somehow weird: "Yes?" "Michiru, it's me." Haruka spoke, trying to keep her voice calm. To her big shock, a sob came in reply before the door buzzed, allowing Haruka to enter. She quickly made her way up to Michirus apartment and knocked. The door opened, revealing a crying Michiru, her eyes red. Before Haruka had a chance to say anything, the aqua haired girl lashed out. And then, she slapped the blonde hard across the face. "You bastard!" Michiru cried out while Haruka took a step backwards, her eyes wide and her cheek reddening. "I thought you cared for me!" the aqua haired girl now sobbed. "Oh my God, she knows." Haruka thought to herself. "She knows…" "Michiru, I…I can explain…" Haruka started, but Michiru interrupted her rudely. "You said that you care for me, Haruka. But you were just after the fifty bucks!" "That's not true." Haruka protested, her voice hoarse. "At first it was, but I really started to like you…please, you have to believe me!" "I don't have to do anything! And I don't want to see you ever again! Get out!" Michiru shouted, still crying. "Michiru, please!" Haruka replied, her own eyes filling with tears. "Just listen to…" "Fuck off!" Michiru yelled, causing Haruka to flinch. The blonde turned around on her heels and ran while Michiru slammed the door close and sank to the ground, crying heavily.
