Chapter 2: Too late
Kira's mind dazed as he drove in his car through the heavy rain. Millions of questions raced inside his head but they were all about to be answered when he got to the destination he was heading to.
"It's already 8:30pm…." Kira spoke out loud when he looked at the time. Soon, he got off the car when he reached Lacus's house. Kira ran to her door so he wouldn't get hit much by the rain.
"What will I say…."Kira wanted to hit himself for saying those harsh words to her in the first place. He then ran the doorbell and waited. There was complete silence except for the sound of rain hitting the ground.
"Maybe she's not home…" Kira pushed the button again but no one replied or opened the door. As when he was running back towards his car, he saw a figure sitting on the shore of a beach just nearby. Kira couldn't figure out who it was from all the rain but it was definitely a person. He ran down the beach not caring to get wet and soon saw the back of the person's head.
"Lacus…." Kira instantly knew as he saw her pink hair which seemed darker than usual because of the weather. He walked slowly towards her and stood next to her.
"Why are you out here in the rain?..." Kira asked quietly but she didn't reply back in any way. He sat down next to her and saw her wet hair sticking to her face and covering most of her eyes.
But she seemed to be staring at the dark, gray ocean. "Do you wish for me to leave?..." her hoarse voice asked without looking at Kira.
"I should be asking you that….." Kira looked down at the sand.
Silence wrapped around them as none of them moved or spoke.
"Um…Lacus….I….I'm sorry...that's all I can say….I'm sorry…." Kira stuttered.
Lacus slowly stood up and turned away. "I'll leave now….a promise is a promise…" she then started to walk away. Kira got up and ran after her. He quickly turned her back around and firmly pressed his lips on hers as he held her shoulders. They stood like that for a while, then, Kira gently pulled away.
"Forget that promise Lacus….I was stupid to think that I would be alright…even if I did hold onto Fllay…she would never come back….never…" Kira spoke out how he felt.
Lacus just stood there, emotionless. "Kira….you'll be fine…even without me….I'm sure there will be another day that my smile will hurt you as much as before….I don't want that…I don't want to hear the same words you've said to me…"
"Has my words changed you this much? Can't you just please forget everything I've said?" Kira asked wanting Lacus to return to the way she used to be.
"Forget?...I'm only human….you can't just simply forget if you want to….I'm sorry Kira….if you're expecting to see me smile, it won't be happening…." Lacus turned away once again and walked towards her house. This time, Kira didn't run after her now that he couldn't change her back.
"I'm…..too late aren't I?…." he stood in the rain, wanting the time to just stop and somehow erase everything he regretted.
