How To Cope
Chapter 4
"Could you wait out here while I pack some clothes?"
Makoto refuses. "No, especially after what just happened. You're not leaving my sight." She follows her into the bedroom, "Do you need any help?"
She remains silent. Makoto stands in the doorway watching every movement of the smaller, blue haired women. Ami puts her shoulder length hair behind her ear.
"Do you think that's one of the reasons that they pick on you?" she makes the suggestion. "You dyed your hair dark blue over the summer, and the harassment started this year didn't it?"
Ami hadn't even thought about it. "Maybe." was all she said before zipping up her small bag.
They both walk back into the living room. Where a note is left on the table for Mrs. Mizuno.
Hey mom,
I went over to Makoto's. She's not feeling very well. I offered to stay with her to nurse her back to health. I'll see you later.
Ami
"Make yourself at home." Makoto lead Ami into her apartment in a building on the other side of town. "Me and you can either share my bed, it's plenty big enough for us both. Or I can sleep on the sofa." She suggests.
"We can share. If you're willing."
"No problem. The sofa sucks anyway." She looks at the clock. It read 9:30P.M. "I guess I should retire for the night. I would advise you to do the same. My alarm goes off at 6A.M." Makoto gave Ami a quick hug before closing the bedroom door behind her.
She joined her in bed at 10:30, they both had a long day. So they were both tired.
"I'm sorry, Makoto." Ami said before falling asleep…
