Chapter # 12: Please
It was the middle of the night when I finally woke up again. I only woke up because I heard a scream from upstairs. A pained scream. Tohma's scream. I leapt off of the couch and ran up the stairs at top speed. I threw open the guestroom door. No one. I ran over to my bedroom. Only Hiro and Suguru were in there, just jumping off the bed. I rushed to the bathroom. It was locked.
"TOHMA! TOHMA, OPEN THE DOOR!"
"…"
"TOHMA, I KNOW IT'S YOU IN THERE, OPEN THE DOOR! Please Tohma…Please…" I stated as I began sobbing heavily. My heart ached, it broke, shattering into millions of pieces. Why was he doing this to himself? Why was he doing this after I had told him not to?
"I'm sorry…Shuichi…" I heard his voice saying.
"TOHMA OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!"
"Tohma!" Suguru called,
"It's Suguru…Please stop this Tohma…Shuichi's sobbing his eyes out out here…He doesn't want you to do this any more…"
"It's not easy to put down a blade, is it Suguru?" Tohma questioned.
"No…But…But if I can do it, then so can you!"
I pounded my fists off the door, still begging to be heard.
"Tohma…Please…"
I heard a soft click and the door creaked open a bit. I threw it open the rest of the way.
"Tohma! Stop it!" I announced, grabbing his hand that was holding the blade. I made it face towards my skin instead of his. I pressed my hand to it.
"Stop…Doing…This." I growled at him, tears slipping along my cheeks.
"I'm begging…Please Tohma…Please?"
"I…Can't…" He said as he released my hand, the blade falling onto the floor. Blood dripping along my hand like my tears dripped along my cheeks.
