Hope you enjoy.

"Is everything alright?" her mother asks her.

"Yeah, just tired." she lies, starring at that number she can't bring herself to call.

"Okay... but dinner's ready."

"I'm not..." a growl comes from inside "... in a minute." on this day, not even her body was on her favor.

She slowly manages her way to the kitchen. She wipes out the remaining tears, she doesn't want her mother to be worried.

As she arrives, the smell of the steak gives her at least something to distract herself on.

"What's going on?" as she sits, her mother just sees right through her.

"Eh... nothing, really."

"Problem with a friend?"

"Not really." she lies

"What happened?" her mother didn't buy it.

"It's really nothing."

"Mmmmm... What can I do for you to tell me?" Ayano doesn't respond "I just hope you can trust me a little more Ayano."

"I can't even decide for myself." she finally speaks up "I don't know what can I tell you... I don't even know why I'm feeling like this." she stands up, she had just finish "Thank you for the food." she leaves to her room, trying her best to feel asleep and just arrive to the next day.

Just before sleeping, she felts her mother embrace.

"If I ever did something wrong, I hope that I can correct myself just for you... Goodnight"

Deep deep down, does words resonated with her. But she just wouldn't accept that. Nor could even think about them as the spiral of thoughts was still circling around.

The purple haired girl just tumbles her way down to school. Just her duties as vice-president seem to be her driving force as she knows she can't correct the mistake from yesterday. She hurt Kyoko again and while it has happened in the past, she knew that this time was different. She had never seen her ran out in tears, she had never seen her as mad, as hurt, as depressed.

The memories hurt her. What she could only hope for, was for forgiveness.

But Kyoko didn't arrive at the first class, nor the second, nor in the break.

The never-ending source of energy was not to be seen that day. And Ayano felt it. Deep down, she knew that she missed her. But not only because of the events from yesterday.

She even cursed her own selfishness. Kyoko was just crying because of her and all she could think about was every time they bicker at each other or every time she arrived at the Amusement Club or every time she had made her day a brighter one.

'I really need her" she thought to herself as she completed some paper work on the student council room.

"Eh... I need to go." she said as she let her papers on the desk.

"Eh, that's not fair, you also left yesterday." Sakurako replied.

"And we do need some helping hands with this documents." helped Himawari.

"Oh... well, if you..."

"There's no problem Ayano. We can manage ourselves if it's that urgent." Chitose responded with a smile.

"Are you sure?"

"I don't think so." both underclassmen were doubtful.

"sure. Plus, they do need some sort of test if they even dare to claim your seat, next year." the young ones were quickly to notice that point.

"Yep, we will be fine, don't worry." Himawari was quick to respond.

"Eh... eh... yeah, go ahead, I'm sure I can handle more. Not sure if the huge breasted one would, though."

"What did you say?" as both were just with their own bickering Ayano was on her way to say goodbye to her friend.

"Thanks."

"Stop being in denial Ayano." she smiled "Go for it."

Ayano nodded with some hesitance but was quick on her way out of the school. She just needed to be sure.

"Hey Yui..." she started as soon as Yui picked up

"She's in her home." a quick response.

"Eh... thanks"

"Just do what you know you have to do." she responded "She really is a bit down, you know?"

"Yeah..." just a tiny bit of doubt arouse at that time "But... I won't back down anymore."

"That's good to hear... Goodbye" she hang out.

She arrive at Kyoko's house not long after. At the door she sighed...

With complete resolve she ringed.

She was sure on what she wanted to do.

And that's it for this chapter. Maybe I'll upload the next one today as well or maybe tomorrow. But it will be soon (I hope) so stick around.

Thanks for reading, I see you in the next one.

yeetus: yeah... someone had already said that (I haven't correct it because I lost the file that has that chapter and I can't just copy paste the chapter to replace it quickly)... equally thanks for pointing it out. I do try to better up my grammar and things like this surely help. Thanks for reading. (please, continue to correct if you see something)
