Chapter 2: Yumi's Anger
Yumi got home and ran up to her room, finally letting all her tears out, not wanting her mother to see her crying and ask what's going on. She slammed her door shut, and flung down onto her bed, sobbing madly. "Why am I crying over him? He's the one that betrayed me! To think I ever thought he actually liked me! Hmmph! What a joke!" she yelled to no one at all, punching her pillow angrily.
Her mother began to walk up the steps, and - surprisingly - Yumi heard her quiet steps up the stairs. She quickly grabbed a bunch of tissues and wiped away her tears. She also hid her pillow under her bed because of how much she'd torn it up.
"Hello, dear!" her mother said cheerfully as she walked into Yumi's room. Then she looked at her daughter's face, and her smile turned into a look of concern. "Are you feeling all right, dear? I heard you screaming, and I just wondered what was going on."
"It's nothing," Yumi replied, sniffling slightly, "Really, I'll be fine, don't worry."
"Oh, all right. But if you ever need me, you'll know where to find me."
"All right, Mom. Thanks," Yumi said, trying to smile. Mrs. Ishiyama was still a bit concerned, but she walked out of the room, closing the door behind her. Once she was gone, Yumi laid her head gently on her pillow, tears slipping down her cheeks as she thought of all the good times she'd had with Ulrich.
Suddenly she heard footsteps on the stairs again. 'Please don't let it be Mom again. Or Dad. Heck, I don't want anyone to come in. But I guess I don't have any choice.' She sat up slightly, wiping most of the tears from her cheeks, as the door opened and Ulrich walked in.
