Chapter 14: My Decision

I drove to the base right after Lelouch left. Luckily, Suzaku wasn't home, or he'll be listening to what I had to tell May.

"What are you going to choose?" she asked. I sighed and fell on my bed.

"I…don't know," I said "what do you think that I should do?" Suddenly, I got a text.

"This is odd," I said "how come I got a text from Shirley?"

"I showed you the future, remember?" May said.

"She's not dead yet?" I asked. She nodded,

"I guess that's good," I said.

"What are you gonna tell Suzaku?" she asked.

"I can't tell him," I said. Suddenly, my phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Have you decided?" said the velvet voice.

"I thought you were gonna give me 3 days," I replied.

"Just checking," he hung up.

"Damn you, Lelouch," I said. I heard someone knock on my door.

"Come in," I said. Suddenly, Suzaku comes in.

"Hey," he said. He sat next to me and kissed my forehead.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Did you finish the song?" he asked.

"Not yet," I said "but I bet it will be done in 2 days."

"Hope so," he said "I want to hear it." I smiled at him.

Man, I've got a lot on my head!!

"Um, Suzaku," I said "can you get my guitar? I left it in my trunk."

"Sure," he said. He left. I quickly grabbed my phone.

"Who are you calling?" asked May. I didn't answer.

"Lelouch," I told him "I've made my decision."

"Ok," he said "we'll get you tomorrow morning."

"No you're not! I'm not joining you," I said.

"Why?" he asked in fury.

"I'm NOT betraying Suzaku," I said "I'd rather die."

"You're making a horrible decision!" he calmed down a bit "if you join, we can start all over. We'll be together again."

Oh, man, he knows how much I want that to happen.

"I'm sorry, Lelouch," I hung up on him. Suddenly, Suzaku came back.

"Thanks," I said. I frowned.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing," I said.

Well, a lot of time passed. I went back to school and everything WASN'T like normal. Shirley was acting really weird, this kid named Rolo appeared and blah blah blah…. Anyway, I came back home from the Music Chamber. When I went to my room, May was watching the news.

"Why are you watching the news?" I asked. She shushed me.

"Looks like Shirley's future happened," she replied. My eyes went wide open.

"Man," I said "that sucks." Suzaku came back moments later.

"Suzaku," I said "it happened. Shirley's dead."

"I know," he said "I was watching the news."

"Oh," I said.
