Last Chapter- Feeling satisfied after her little rant, Teru read through her message, hoping to further release her pent-up anger. Instead, she found a plethora of mistakes, both spelling and grammatical. She felt frustration build up within her again.
"ARGH! This sort of petty retribution will never gratify me! I need something better than this! That stupid baldy will pay for what he did to me!"
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-The day before~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
"Kurosaki! I've finished weeding the garden beds! Can we go now?"
~Silence~
"…I've finished! Kurosaki?"
~Silence~
That's all Teru heard; silence. No grunt of approval (that she'd grown to love so much) or even a single demeaning insult! Besides the doleful birds, chirping innocently in what was left of the stripped deciduous trees, all was silent. Heck, she couldn't even see the signature cigarette smoke trail that followed him everywhere!
"That sneaky bastard. He wants to hide from me, huh? Leave all the work to me? THAT'S SLAVE LABOUR DAMNIT!"
She glanced around furtively, making sure that no one saw her outburst. Teru was already weird enough with her super geeky grades and family (or should she say lack of family?) situation; she certainly didn't need more rumours about her circulating around the school. Seeing nobody, she turned around back to her gardening gloves and shovel.
"Well screw him, I'm going home," she muttered as she stood up, gardening tools in hand.
As Teru walked out of the schools main entrance however, she stopped. Grimacing, she felt a wave of sick, horrible, action-provoking guilt hit her. She staggered back into the school, already regretting her sudden bout of concern for the janitor. She suddenly felt weary, the fight going on between heart and mind inside of her draining her of all her energy.
'Why should I wait for that asshole? It's not like he ever waits for me!'
'That's not true, and you know it!'
'Pssht, when's the last time he did anything whole-heartedly for me?'
'Think about all those times that he's saved you- taking care of you when you were sick, giving you moral support, getting you out of situations that you got yourself into in the first place!"
'Yeah?! Well, it's not like I asked him to or anything!" Teru's mind gave up on reasoning and started whinging.
'You may not have asked him, but you did ask Daisy', Teru's calm heart persuaded.
'Not always!' Her mind remained firm, refusing to give in to her feelings.
'But even when you didn't ask Daisy, you always wished for him to come and help you, you always wanted him to come save you.'
With that final trump card, Teru's mind deflated, and it was obvious who won this battle.
Teru sighed dramatically, frustration evident in the frown lines on her temple.
"Stupid betraying heart! Since when did you take that baldies side?!"
