Last Breath (Sei's Story)
Chapter Seven
The next day, Sei starts heading for his art class when Shiori corners him.
"He doesn't love me Sei!"
"And is that my problem?" he asks.
"Everytime I'm with Rei he always thinks about you. How you would feel. Sei, he doesn't care about me!" Sei pushes her and she falls. Shiori starts to cry.
"Why don't you talk to him? He's your boyfriend...." Sei suggested.
"Don't you understand? I'm lonely Sei. Everyone thinks I have you and Rei but you two don't want me. I'm just baggage to you. It would be so easy if there was only one person but there's two. Life would be so much easier if there was only one of you!!"
"Is that what you want?" he asks.
"Yes. But I know it won't happen," she replied.
"I have to get to class Shiori. Whatever problems you're having with Rei are his problems, not mine." Sei leaves Shiori in the hallway and walks into class.
In Art Class
His art teacher assigns them to paint a picture but Sei can't concentrate.
"Gray, gray, gray..." Sei thought. "What else is going to go wrong? Is that what everyone wants? Should I just go?"
"Sei..." his teacher asks. "Are you alright?"
Sei snaps out of his thought. "Yes, ma'am." But his eyes widened when he saw the words painted on his canvas, "JUST GO SEI, JUST GO."
