My Everything
Chapter 16: False affections?
The red haired teen was nearly bowled over as a dark haired blur brushed past him roughly when he opened the door of Kai's room and he had the briefest of time to register Crystal's tear streaked face.
"What-" he asked in confusion as his mind struggled to comprehend what had just happened. He glanced back into the room to see Kai gazing out the window with a flat and impassive expression. By the time Tala had turned his turquoise eyes back to the hallway, the petite girl had already fled out of sight.
"Kai," Tala stated as comprehension dawned on him. "You didn't........................."
"I did," his blue haired friend confirmed frostily, his auburn eyes hardening.
"Why Kai, why?" Tala questioned, still unable to believe what his best friend had just done. Why would Kai ever break up with Crystal?
"Why? Because it's better this way." Kai answered, his voice devoid of any emotion as he leaned back against the pillows.
"Better this way? How can it possibly be better this way? Do you have any idea what you have done?"
"I know what I'm doing so don't stand there and lecture me."
"Crystal's the best thing that has happened to you. You're a fool to let her go." Tala spun on his heel and the door slammed shut behind him.
Sighing, Kai shook his head. An object on the bedside table caught his eyes and frowning he reached an arm out to snatch a navy blue gift bag up.
How had this gotten here?
He reached inside the bag and pulled out a navy blue teddy bear, its azure glass eyes glinting back up at him and a card with a teddy bear hugging a smaller one.
Dear Kai,
Can you believe it's already been a month? I hope you like the teddy bear- I made it myself. I could've simply just bought you one but where's the fun in that? In some countries, when a person makes a bear, names it after themselves and gives it to the person they love, the two people will fall in love and always be together. But then knowing you, you'll probably say that you don't need a teddy bear named after me for us to always be together ne? Anyway, Happy One Month.
I'll love you always.
Hugs & kisses,
Akina.
Shit.
He was such an idiot.
Kai slumped back against his pillows, his auburn eyes taking in every single stitch and detail of the blue teddy bear in his hands. He had completely forgotten that today was their one month anniversary. What a great gift he had given Akina- a broken heart.
Akina ran blindly, her tears blurring her vision. She didn't care where she was going. As long as she was far, far away from Kai.
But one question still burned on her lips.
Why?
Why had he broken up with her? Was it because of something she did?
Or perhaps what he had said was true, that he had never loved her, that he only pretended to love her in order to further his father's business.
So every word out of his mouth had been a lie.
He had never loved her.
She had been foolish, so foolish to think that Kai could have ever possibly loved her.
Who could love her anyway?
Wasn't she just some little, stupid, ugly girl who nobody could ever love.
False affection.
That was all Kai ever had for her.
She would've laughed if she wasn't already choking on her tears.
Yes, the very thought of Kai loving her was laughable.
She hadn't been able to see it before. Until now that is. Until it was too late.
She had been gullible, so very gullible to give her heart to Kai who had only stomped all over it and shattered it in the end.
Akina continued to run, her feet pounding on the pavement, people shuffling to get out of her path.
Kai's words had wounded her and haunted her and try as she might, she couldn't block them.
Well it served her right. This was the price she had to pay for giving her trust, her love and her heart to him.
"WHAT?!" The pink haired girl had shrieked taking no notice of the stares she was receiving from the people gathered in the waiting room.
"Shh," Tala hissed and with a sign from him, Rei calmly grasped his girlfriend's hand and led her out of the hospital.
"You can't be serious. Kai would never break up with Crystal. He loves her." Mariah insisted stubbornly, shaking her head adamantly.
"Well obviously he doesn't if he's broken up with her," Tala pointed out.
"Do you know why he's broken up with Crystal?" Rei questioned logically.
"He said something about it being better this way."
"Better this way? How can it possibly be better this way?" Mariah huffed before whirling around and heading back towards the hospital. "Kai is such a jerk. He's really gonna get it this time."
"Whoa, hold on Mariah." Rei grasped her wrist and tugged her gently back. "I don't think it's the best time for you to go up there."
"Why not?"
"Rei's right Mariah. Besides, I'm sure that if we give Kai his space he'll probably realize that he's made a mistake and that he'll soon make it up to Crystal." Tala told her though he himself was unsure if that was likely to happen.
"Hmph." Mariah crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes narrowing. "Even if he does decide that he has a made a mistake, you can't be too sure that Crystal will forgive him so easily."
Akina dragged her feet along the footpath until her house came into sight. It was now dark, probably sometime around 11pm she guessed. Akina had been wandering around aimlessly for several hours, catching trains and buses here and there and just walking around in a haze.
She had been vaguely aware of the numerous calls she had missed on her mobile, but at the time it had not occurred to her to even answer any of them.
Fishing in her pocket, she realized that she had left her keys in her bag which was still in Tala's car so she buzzed the main gate and they swung open to admit her.
She trudged up the winding driveway towards the house and sighed when she thought of how empty the house would be.
She was alone.
Well and truly alone.
Akina shook her head, disgusted at herself when she realised that self-pity was welling in the bottom of her stomach.
Pity.
How she hated that word, it filled her with disgust to her very core. She had told herself long ago she could never pity herself, pity only led to...........................
"Akina-sama!" a voice called out interrupting her train of thought and Akina lifted her head to see a group of servants clustered around the doorway.
Her mind didn't register the fact that it was unusual for all these servants to be waiting up for her to arrive home.
Even if she didn't inform the servants that she would be getting in late, only one or two would still be up when she arrived home.
"Yes Sayami, what is it?" Akina asked one middle aged woman absent mindedly as the small group of servants parted to allow her through.
"We've been trying to contact you," Sayami told her, passing her the phone receiver. "It's extremely urgent."
"Hello?" Akina spoke wearily into the receiver.
There was a pause and Akina's emerald flecked orbs widened and the receiver slipped silently from her hands to shatter into plastic shards on the ground.
gigglez I bet you all think I'm evil now, leaving you with yet another cliffy! Heheh.............anyway, hoped you liked that chapter, though I didn't find it particularly find it that interesting. I promise that the next chapter will definitely be more interesting.
