Trapped in Loneliness

Chapter 2: The 'Event'

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh

Ah, chapter two. I think that this chapter didn't turn out well. No worries, chapter 3 will be better!

Thanks for all the reviews you guys! I took the time to answer questions that were asked, so if I missed yours, please say so and I will answer it!

Crud bucket: I am aware that Isis is older than him, but I don't care. This is an angst fic so it is expected to have some OOC. Plus, if people can write fics about Kaiba being gay, then I'm sure as hell I am able to make Yuugi mean :)

Sailor Tiamat: Anzu is a strong-willed person. Though, when you [general you, not pointing to you directly] are depressed, you can lose a lot of confidence and will power and such and such.

Baka Muyou: I'm not sure if I will have Kaiba and Anzu go together or not in this fic. I feel that it would kinda ruin this fic if I had Anzu fall in love and all her problems are solved or that Kaiba tries to help her and stuff. I don't really want to have this fic turned into something like that. Seto will be in this fic for sure. You can count on that, but I don't know if I will have him and Anzu a couple or not. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. You can keep reading this fic to find out ^^

I loved my life. It was so wonderful. No, I didn't love life because I was rich. I had my friends and family--Two things I cared deeply about, and two things that made me enjoy everyday of life. My parents were, and still are always busy with work though. I barely ever see them, but that didn't matter. When my parents did come home from business trips, I cherished every moment with them before; because I loved my mother and father. I also loved spending every day with my friends. I cared for them more than I cared about dancing--And that was pretty surprising to some people I know.

When I had Yuugi, Jounouchi, Honda and Otogi as my friends, I didn't know what life would be like without them. I always thought about that same thing many times. I guess I know how it is now.

Chapter 2: The 'Event'

I try not to remember the day Yuugi and the others forgot about me, I really do. I do this to avoid breaking down like I did in the past. However, I feel very depressed and I feel the need to cry, to let it all out so I don't feel so sad at school.

I remember that fateful day like it was yesterday....

That day Yuugi, Honda, Otogi, Jounouchi and I went to the mall. We use to go to the mall every weekend...If we weren't studying that is. When I had arrived at the main front door of the mall, I was greeted by all my friends.

"Hi Anzu." Yuugi greeted me first, as most of the time.

"Hey Anzu." Otogi and Honda said at the same time.

"Finally you're here Anzu. Now we can finally go inside." The one and only, Jounouchi roll his eyes and stuffs his hands in his pockets. Typical of him.

After he said that I walked up to him and pulled on his right ear. He jumped in pain and the rest of us laugh. I knew Jounouchi was only kidding when he said that, he knew that I was kidding too.

"Come on everyone, I hear they have this new arcade open!" Honda called out to Yuugi, Jounouchi and I.

I followed my friends. I couldn't wait to play at the arcade. I use to think video games were so much fun.

*****

"I know can win...I know I can win....I know I can--AGH!" I remember saying something like that while playing an arcade game, then losing and then hitting the controls in anger.

"Good try Anzu." My childhood friend, Yuugi, smiled at me.

"Thanks, Yuugi." I replied back to him.

"Mm." He nodded in reply. "Jounouchi lets go get some more change for the games."

"Uh okay Yuugi..." Yuugi Ditched the game he was about to play. I watched them walk away.

I kept watching them walk off until a loud voice yelled out in an excited tone. Because I was spaced out, I jumped in surprise from the noise.

"Scared you, didn't I?" Laughed Otogi.

After Jounouchi and Yuugi returned, we decided to go eat. Just like every time we ate out together we had a blast.

When we were done eating it was time to go....

"Okay everyone....If anyone needs to use the bathroom, do it now." One of my now ex-best friend's, Honda said. "The bus won't wait for us if one of us is still in here."

"In that case I'll go use it right now." I started walking to the restroom area.

"We'll be waiting for you, Anzu." Yuugi spoke out in a low voice, but still hear-able.

"If the bus comes and you are not out yet I'll drop my spare change to buy some time for you! And I mean it!"

While walking I laughed. I knew that is Jounouchi who said that. He is the only one who says things like that.

...And here was the beginning of my depressing life....

After I finished using the bathroom I washed my hands and walked out. As I started to walk Yuugi came into my mind. I recall thinking that I loved him a lot—Not that I do anymore...At least I don't think so.

When I went back to the spot we were all supposed to meet...They were gone. At that moment I looked at the glass door exits where we were going to go and I saw the bus—and people boarding on it. I rushed over to there.

When I saw Yuugi and the others, I saw them with other people—girls. I saw Miho from school, Shizuka, Jounouchi's sister and two other girls that I couldn't see. I saw them laughing together—maybe from a joke someone told at that time?

...Or maybe at me.

I had just watched them board together on the bus; I didn't follow to try to catch the bus. I just watched.

It was heartbreaking to see them leave together...Forgetting about me.

...And that was the day they started to forget about me.

*******

"Anzu! Get ready for school!" I heard my mother call as I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Alright!" I call back.

...But...That's not the end of the story...

After I saw them leave without telling me. I was upset. But that sadness turned into anger. When I ran out of the mall, I followed the bus my 'friends' took. When a minute had gone by I lost track of the bus. I didn't speak to them for the rest of the weekend.

When Monday came, I decided that I would talk to them then. So I did, at lunch. The conversation went somewhat like this...

"Hey Anzu." Yuugi greeted me as I set my food down at the lunch table.

"I can't believe you guys." I had said in a cold, ruthless voice.

"What?" The dumbass, Jounouchi asked.

"You guys left me at the mall! Don't you assholes remember?!" I remember back then I use to be such a strong-willed person. I wish I still was. Yet, with my depression I lost a lot of my self-confidence so I'm not a strong person as I use to be. I really wish I still was.

"Oh. Well we met Miho and her friends at the mall." Honda responded. "She introduced us to them and we all ended up pairing up and going to the movies."

"Yeah with all the excitement we kinda forgot about you, Anzu." While chewing his food, Jounouchi spoke. How rude could he had gotten?

Yuugi wasn't even talking. I think he was trying to avoid talking to me. What a bastard.

"Look Anzu. Don't take it so personally." Dice-boy [Otogi] cleaned his ear. "We met some girls that we liked, so we took the opportunity to get them. Don't be so mad."

"You forgot about me! I am taking it personally! How dare you all!" I had continued to yell at them. "I thought we were friends! Friends don't do that to each other!"

"Shut up." Otogi replied. "I'm sick of your bitching and I bet everyone else is too."

"Yuugi! Why did you leave me?!" I turned to him. He would be the one to stick up for me, I thought at the time.

He didn't say anything in return. He just shrugged it off.

"I'll be back." Was all I could say. I had gone to the bathroom to cool off. When I had come back, they were gone.

They had ditched me.

******************

I haven't spoken to them that often since. I do sit with them at lunch, but I try my best to stay quiet. Though, whenever they come to talk to me between classes I would only nod, say "mm," say yes or say a sentence. My throat starts to hurt whenever they are near me.

If they stopped doing things to me such as rude comments, sarcasm, ignoring me, ditching me and making fun of me...Maybe things would be back to normal.

My mother walks in my room, breaking my concentration from my thoughts.

"Anzu, are you ready?" She asked me.

I nod. "I'll be going now."

I left the house. I am on my way to school...On my way to another day of hell.

To Be Continued
