Chapter 34
Two weeks go by and Zero is miserable more now than ever. He goes to work and tries to forget everything that has taken place, but the memories of them together and happy invade his mind. Now knowing the truth, that she is Yuki makes things worse, knowing he had everything he wanted with her and didn't even know it.
The fact that she lied to him, he can't get over. It just makes him madder every time he thinks about it. Her being with Kaname makes things even worse. Yet he still misses her and cares for her deeply.
He knows its been weeks since he has talked to her or even tried to face her, he just can't. He knows that if he lets it go it will wind up as it did before. Losing her, Zero was never one to face his feelings, always trying to put them behind him. Covering up his true feelings, not wanting anyone to see him weak or hurt when inside he is falling apart. Now that he tasted her again, he craves her even more then he did the first time around. Which makes this ten times harder to stay away. He just doesn't feel he can trust her, or even talk to her at the moment. His stubborness taking over like always.
Zero keeps the phone she gave him in his coat pocket, he sees she has called him numerous times, trying to get him to talk to her. He doesn't answer, any of the calls. He doesn't show weakness at work it just made him more grumpy and snappy than normal. Where everyone that sees him just runs not wanting to get involved with him. That was nothing different from Cross and he liked it in a way, not to deal with anyone. He was becoming more and more of a loner than ever.
Yuki, on the other hand, was just as upset just in a different way. She stayed to herself as well trying to get ahold of him, by phone. She sees its been weeks and he still hasn't answered it just makes her more upset even though she tries to hold it in being the proper pureblood she needs to be. She knows if Zero isn't going to give in, she has to go home and give up on her feelings towards him. Which she knows already won't work, as it didn't work the first time she tried.
She packs up her things and locks up the house, taking a last look before closing the door behind her. The memories here were great ones, ones she never thought would ever happen. She was finally with the man she really loved even if it was only for a few months. She got to experience what it was to be happy and be with him, in every way. She just wished it was different and he did know who she was and it would have lasted.
She gets into the parked car, waiting for her outside hoping this isn't the last time she sees this house. Just knowing it might be, she was headed back to a life she never asked for or wanted. Just if she couldn't be with Zero she had to be who she was supposed to be from the start, which only made Kaname happy.
She hands the key to Seiren in an envelope as the care drives off to the Kuran Mansion. The hell she ran away from she was heading back to.
