Konnichiwa all! To the two peeps who reviewed, thankies very much. You inspired me to write this chapter! So, without further ado, to the story…!
Kai : What? I don't have a say?
Me : Nah. You can talk at the end. That's what you get for eating my dessert…
Kai : smiles evilly
Chapter 2: My invisible tears match the smile that is fake
'What is it with you, Max…? You always seem so cheerful and happy. But your smile…it's just so…different. Are you really as happy as you say you are, or is that smile there to protect you from the truth? Believe me, Mizuhara, I'm going to find out…a lot sooner than you think…'
So I'm going to the bathroom.
To escape the others really.
I need space and time to think.
I've had enough of being the one to cheer others up…
It's about time someone did that for me.
But they won't.
They can't.
Because they don't know anything…and I'm not going to let them.
But that doesn't explain why I can't cry.
Or maybe I can…
It's just that no one notices my invisible tears…
"Rei, you and Tyson square off against each other. I'm going to the bathroom. And no slacking, or you'll both be running laps…" The rest of the team were having a practice session. And a hard one at that as a certain grey-haired teen watched over the group. Kai was tall and cold. He was a harsh coach, but that was to be expected. He'd led a hard life.
"Erm, okay." Tyson shrugged.
"I'll video the match. Dizzi and I need some more data anyway…" States Kenny, computer nerd or computer genius. Whichever you prefer.
'I will find out once and for all what you're hiding, Max.' The stoic teen thought as he headed in the same direction the blonde had gone not long ago.
It's your fault I feel this way.
I hate you for it…and I can't believe I'll have to see you again.
Of all the places, America had to be our next destination.
I've had nightmares ever since I found out where the next tournament would be held.
But no…it isn't America haunting my dreams…it's you.
Yes, my dearest mother.
You psycho bitch.
You ruined me!
Now I'm stuck pretending to live a life I wish I had.
It's your fault my tears are unnoticed!
It's your fault my smile is false!
You hated me, and I never knew why.
Is it because of dad…?
Because as soon as I was born, you knew it was a mistake…
He stayed with you a good 12 years…then goes to Japan, taking me with him.
Without me, you two might still have been together.
I made your life miserable just by being born.
So you decided to return the favour…
What good is it now?
Trying to figure everything out.
I'm as good as dead if you find me…
Maybe I'll take the easy way out…
It's not like I'd be missed…
Sure, dad might mourn me, and the Bladebreakers…
But they'd move on.
Would you be proud of me if I could do one thing to make you happy…?
I root through my pocket and pull out my faithful green bey.
Draciel.
Who knows what will happen to him when I'm gone…?
I hope he can forgive me…
I hope everyone can forgive me…
I place the blade near my wrist.
I feel the sharpness of Draciel's defence ring on my skin.
I slide it across my wrist, watching a small river of blood flow down my arm.
Goodbye world.
I manage one last fake smile, and wonder if I can really feel tears flowing freely down my face…
Not that it matters.
To everyone else, they're invisible…
TBC
I've done the impossible…first of all, I've finished chapter 2! Yay! Second, I've got Kai to make cookies! It's true.
Kai : I was black mailed…so, anyway. I can express my opinion now, right?
Me : Sure.
Kai : I hate you. I hate this fic. I HATE THE GODDAMN WORLD!
Me : You don't have to get mad…
Kai : I don't get mad…I go MENTAL!
Me : Guess it's my turn to be scared…
Kai : HA HA HA HA!
Me : Every review you send will go towards hiring a decent psychiatrist for Kai…
Kai : I'M GONNA RULE THE WORLD!
Me : backing away slowly…I'll see you guys for chappy 3…
Byezies,
