CHAPTER 8: Distortion
.
.
"Outta my way!" everybody gave way to the raging Cagalli who was on her way to the elevator. No one ever dared to approach her during the past few days. They dont want to experience the same thing as what happened to the obnoxiuos man who pulled off all the strings from Cagalli.

--flashback
-
A blond was pacing along the aisles, her steps making vigorous sounds. "Move out of my way!" she said in a piercing manner as she passed by people walking.
"Watch this" a group of 3 boys were standing in the lobby. The blue haired one stood on her way. "How about a date missy?"
"Fuck off, and move your bloody ass out of my way" she commanded
"What's with you bitch? Playing hard to get?"
"..."
"Oh I see, you dont want a date? How about a get together, or hide in the peep whole tonight in my place?"
"I said, move your bloody ass out of my way" she clenched her fist on her sides
"Come'on lets go Joe" his friend started to walk towards the other direction
"Yeah Joe, stop wussing around" the other one followed his other colleague.
The bluenette got pissed with his friends. They didn't trust his charisma in women. To prove them wrong, he sneaked his hand around Cagalli's shoulder, "no need to be shy love, its only you and-" with out finishing his lovey dovey sentence, Cagalli held his hand that was on her shoulders and raised it up, after getting a good view of the bluenettes body, she injected her elbow through and shifted her weight to punch his face, not quite contented with the man lying on the floor, she stepped on his groin area.
She stared at the groaning man, "you want this eh?" she tilts her head to the side, showing her merciless killer amber eyes. The bluenette started to panic, his most treasured glory being stepped upon by his so-called bitch he messed with. He started to reconcile and prayed for forgiveness. His vision faded as the fierce blond gave him a major 'egg crush'

Atlast, Cagalli made it to the usual hangout area, the parking side. She took a deep breath and slumped herself on the cold stair like structure.
("I just had my first kiss") She stared at the skies blankly.
("Why did I let him...") she shook her head in disbelief and sighed, she moved her fingers slowly across her lips, reminiscing all the events. His soft lips against her, his warm breath that touched her face, his icey scent that gave chills down her bones. She was now like a wolf with a stain of its target, searching, hunting, desiring. Everyting of him was now marked on her mind.
She held herself with her arms, it was cold, she hugged her knees and pulled them closer to her body.
("Alex..")
Was she fantasizing just now? She blushed at the thought. ("What the fuck is wrong with me?") Her mind wandered aimlessly. She cant be in love, she cant fall in love, not with this man,
He lives in a small apartment, a common driver to a rich family, best friend to her brother. He's a plain simple man. She cant really judge him. But she knows she'll just break her mother's heart if she discovered that she's in love with a commoner, worse, just a driver.
Her mother always loved Yuna for her, "deprive your feelings, it will do you no good. Go for the pot" she shook her head once more. What was she thinking, did she really think that Alex has feelings for her? He might've been just taking advantage of the situation at that time. She sighed in defeat.
She thought about her father, she hadnt visited him for awhile. She's been busy at work, or not? It pains her to see her father at that state. Unable to move, slowly dying, frozen in time.
With her wandering thoughts, she didn't notice the jacket that warmed her up. She turned her head and saw Shinn standing, exhaling smoke out of his body.
"you ok?" he turned to her , his usual flaring ruby eyes were down and worried
Her reverie was shattered by his presence. The boiling lava had reached its peak once again.
"Leave me alone" she uttered
He took in another breath from his cigarette, "you've been like that for days, your alienating yourself from everybody"
"..."
"First you had the photocopy machine smashed, next you got a man unconscious with his.. y'know.. smashed as well, and lastly, you wont talk to anyone and everyone is scared of you" he tried to pry out the coldness from her
"just fuck off Shinn"
"tell me whats wrong, maybe I can help"
"No one can help me!" her hand felt a solid object beside her. "Just leave me ok?!"
"I cant leave you in that situation" her eyes widened,
"The hell do you care?!" she yelled at him, she tightened her hold on the solid matter.
"Just leave!!"
He smoked out and pulled the cigar out of his lips, "I wont" he stepped on his cigar, his eyes debating with hers.
She cant take it anymore, she had more than enough of all the people who bugged her that day. She just wanted to think to herself. All she needs now is silence, time to reflect. It was always her way of dealing with things, with herself, only with herself.
She grabbed the solid material and threw it to Shinn, the sharp stone hit his chest, he didn't budge the pain.
"Why didn't you dodge?" Cagalli stood up and grabbed his shirt by the collar
"you knew it will hit you! Why didn't you dodge?!" Shinn saw the forming tears in her eyes,
"Cause I wanted to feel the pain you have" He smiled at her,
"Its really unusual for a sunny person like you to just slump yourself in the dark. I mean, whatever your problem is, we're here, we can listen."
("How would you understand.? Your just like them, you'll leave sooner or later... You wont understand")
"We probably wont understand, but, we can help you carry your burden to lighten it up"
"Why?" her eyes soften, she felt her unshed tears burn down her cheeks.She loosened her grip on Shinn. Its all too much, all too much for her to consume by herself. Maybe he's right, she's exiling herself from everybody. Taking everything to herself. But, No one could really help her one way or the other, right? It was their problem, it was her problem. She doesn't want anyone to pity her or anyone else to be bothered. Her mother has already shared too much of the pain with her father in the hospital. She can handle it, she thought, she can handle it by herself, it was her way of dealing with it anyways. But can she really...
Her eyes searched for answers in his eyes
He moved his hand on her face and wiped her tears with his thumb. "Cause I care about you" the whispered words echoed loudly in her ears. Someone cares. She let her tears flow freely, and collapsed herself into Shinn's chest. He comforted her with his embrace, brushing his hand on her golden hair.
.

.
The moment of sobs passed by, Shinn felt his chest wet from her tears. She had stopped.
"If you told me you needed a hug, I would've not smoked" trying to lighten up the mood.
"...yeah..you smell like hell.." she responded in a whsper, he chuckled knowing that she had released it all.
Cagalli slowly pushed herself away, his arms were still around her, supporting her weight in case she falls. She wiped her tears and looked at the young man in front of her. His red eyes were again flaring, a small smile upon his face.
"Thanks Shinn" she smiled to him.
Noticing his position, arms now by her waist. He blushed ,then replaced his hands in his pockets. He doesnt want her to think his taking over her or something.
"Anytime Cagalli"
she punched him softly in the arm and giggled, "Its Cags"

Alex stared at his monitor, the wallpaper showed a blond hugging her little sister.
.
.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING ALEX DINO!?"
.
.
What's with this girl that he's encaptured with? He lifted his bottle of milk to drink. He stared once again.
-
-
She pushed him away and he fell over, they stared at each other for awhile.
"I'm sorry" he looked down and stood up, he saw Cagalli was still in the state of shock. "Leave". He turned his back and left the Attha's house.

Alex slammed his fist on the desk, it was a foolish move, he kissed her and then he left her. He felt like he had no face to show Kira anymore, and so much to Cagalli. But there was an urge deep inside him telling him to go to her. Though he didn't completely understand what his heart commands him, he felt that confronting her was the right thing to do. He too was confused with what happened. The fast heartbeat, the eternal staring, it was more than enough reason to say that something's going on and he needs to know what this is.
He tried calling her in different hours but she was always not at home. He rode his bike by the donut cafe, but she wasn't there. He tried to wait for her outside Plantz Contact center, but it seems that she never left the premises. He took a deep breath. I wont give up.
He touched his lips with the tip of the bottle. He has never felt this way before, that kiss with her seems to be his first one, even if it was not. He clicked on the next page and it showed a family picture. They were all happy in this one. He smiled.
I wont give up
He glanced at the picture frame by his desk. It was a picture of his family, he smiled at the picture of his mom holding him when he was a child.
"She's beautiful isnt she mom?" he stared for awhile, he decided that he cant just sit there and do nothing.
he stood up and grabbed his phone, "Hey,.. It's me,.. I need your help."
