Chapter 4 :The best day of my life

6:00 p.m

Michiru was having a hard time finding the perfect outfit for the night she wanted to look perfect . Clothes and shoes fly across the room to her bed .

Knock, Knock.

"Come in Ruka"

"Jesus! What's with the mess?"

" I can't find what to wear tonight…."

"You will look absolutely perfect in any outfit…. You always do" Haruka sat at the messy bed and looking a little disturbed continue to talk "Michiru?"

"yes?" "Wait! This seems serious, is this it? You're going to tell me ? Come on I'm not even dress up! Oh god I'm so nervous." " What is it honey?" She tried to sound cool but her tone betray her, she was a nervous wreck.

"It's nothing really, I guess we can talk about it later, you should choose your clothes first I don't want to ruin your big night."

" Are you sure? I've always got time for you…."

" It's ok maybe before the concert, I'll wait for you in the lobby."

"ok" "crap! Well maybe she'll make the great step after the concert."

Finally she decided to wear her strapless black silk dress , she found out her shoes and put them into the bag to change herself later on. After a last look toward her hair she took the bag and her violin case and went down stairs to meet a strangely serious Haruka.

The ride to the theatre was silent: Haruka seem too serious and Michiru couldn't take it any longer.

"What's wrong?"

"Huh?"

"What's bothering you ? You wanted to tell me something and now you're so serious."

"It's just that…. I'm going to tell you, just let me fix a few details"

"Promise?"

"Sure" "easy Michiru, maybe she's getting you flowers, maybe a present… maybe a ring!"

8:00 p.m.

Her dress looked flawless, so did her makeup and hair. "I might be melting on the inside but the outside looks great"

Knock, Knock

"who is it?"

"It's me"

"oh god! Oh god!" "Come in" Haruka step into the little dressing room looking astonishing her tux was spectacular , in one hand she was holding a red rose. "So how do I look?" "Please, say something nice"

"You look like a Princess… here, this is for you" She gave her the rose and smile at her. So can we talk?"

" Sure" "The best night ever, the best night of my life remember everything!" Michiru stand up facing Haruka, a light pink covering her cheeks, her eyes sparkling.. Haruka came closer an suddenly reached her hand

"Oh god, I'm nervous"

"Don't" "I've waited so long…."

Haruka cleared her voice. The soft echo of the rain falling surrounded the room. " Michi, you know that since we met my life change, I've come to see you as much more than a friend…" "don't cry, come on Michiru !" " I think that's more than a reality that you find out I'm not the boyfriend kind of girl, so I want you to know my feelings….

"Yes?" Michiru's voice was trembling, her dreams have finally come truth.

"I found love…I'm dating someone

"WHAT?" Time stopped, so did Michiru's heart . She tried to speak, but there were no words in her head.

" I wanted to tell you first, you're my best friend, my family, and I want to know if it's ok with you…Michiru are you ok?"

"This isn't a dream it's a nightmare, how could you? who is she? oh god, I'm falling apart." "Who is she?" "Hide your feelings, don't get hurt anymore…please, please god don't let me cry." Pulling out all her strength Michiru smile.

"Miko" "No, no ... this isn't happening..." "You look freaked out does it disgusts you, do I?"

"no, I'm….I'm so happy for you…..It's that this night has been a little intense for me, I would never feel such thing for you , I love you. "With all my heart, my broken heart"

Haruka smiled, and bring Michiru to a hug, luckily for Michiru she did not see the tears running from her eyes. "You're going to be great tonight this is your night, I shall go to my seat, I'll be watching you."

In a quick movement Michiru wiped away her tears before Haruka kiss her cheek and leave.

Michiru stand up letting the tears run down her pale face. The storm outside muffled her sobs. "Fight out the tears, the show must go on…"

By the time the concert began Michiru looked calm, softly she let the music to guide her body. The violin played sadly replacing her tears, her violin solo make the audience hold their breath, minutes run by and the torture finally was over, the applauses slapped a pale Michiru that like a hollow shell bowed and left the stage .

"You were great Kaioh"

"Marvelous, you hold it for the great day eh?"

Words , sounds crashed into her ears but she couldn't possibly understand them, she seem to run out of air, she was about to faint when a sudden urge to run away filled her and after placing her violin in the case she simply ran outside to the rainy night.

(I'll try to update quicker this time, and mark the time jumps, that will continue to happen, the next chapter explains how Michiru fall in love of Haruka)
