"It was my parents choice.."
-
I wake up drenched in sweat again. A week has passed since Mio moved to Tokyo University, I kept having the same dream, rather, a nightmare, over and over again. It was the last afternoon I spent with her in this room… when she told me she was leaving.
"I miss you, Mio.. No one's here to wake me up now.." I think to myself while still lying down and facing the ceiling that we filled up with glow in the dark stars so that every night we would share was a starry night.. it's no good being the a starry night sky all alone.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
"Ricchan, you're going to be late if you don't dress up already"
I heard Mugi wake me up as they knew that I would only love mornings if they started late. They talk about the subjects they have while I dress for class, spaced out on how better my mornings would be with Mio around.
"Let's go, guys"
I say as I exit the room I shared with Mio for the first month of college, I still haven't found a new roommate, not that I wanted one.
The days come and pass with nothing changing, I wake up, attend my classes, do homework and go to bed. I manage to continue this much of my now empty days even without Mio, I'm sure she'd be proud of me for this, I wanted her to praise me for being able to fight and be strong, I know she wanted to go to Tokyo U, she got what she wanted, right? I should be happy for her..
"Are you even listening, tainaka-chan?" i get pulled back to reality by a voice that rarely speaks during a group meeting on algebra, it was the blue haired guy from Iwatodai.
" Gomen, Minato-kun"
"As I was saying when you divide X by…."
The other words become blurred from my hearing as I drown once more in memories of Mio. How could you.. How could you break our promise just for that dumb university?
"I hate you!" I accidentally let my emotions get the best of me, shouting them out, tears roll down my cheeks, the whole class stops, Tsumugi hugs me and pulls me out of the classroom, I'm so thankful for that.
"It's gonna be okay, Ricchan.."
"You're only saying this to cheer me up, Mugi" I respond, of course, she was only saying this to cheer me up, how the heck does she know that it's gonna be okay?"
She pats me at the back, the get-better-pat.. then I burst.
" HOW THE HELL IS EVERYTHING GOING TO BE OKAY? MIO IS… Mio is.. Mio is not here.. nothing is going to be okay.."
I give up to sadness, I cry just as I said that she was not here, it was so hard to say that myself, I guess I'm still in denial or something, my phone rings..
"H-Hello?.." I answer while still covering up my crying.
"Ritsu.. I miss you.."
That voice.. the voice that woke me up and brought me to sleep when Mio was still here.. I couldn't take it anymore, I cry more and more, I kept asking Mio why'd she have to leave, I know that was her parents choice, but still, we made a promise together to be forever by each other's side.
"Stupid Ristu.." I think to myself as I end my call to her, it wasn't my choice.. its not like things are better here, I hate it, boys are always calling out to me, there's no Ritsu to scare them away here at Tokyo U.. There's this Chihiro-san that's accompanying me now, she tells me that she was scared as hell with boys back when she was in High School, but thanks to a Minato-kun she claims who went out with her, she said she was able to conquer her fear for boys, not that I want to face them anyway, my heart still belongs and will belong only to Ritsu..
"I MISS YOU" I call out to the air in my room as if my Juliet was here..
i am seriously running out of ideas, HELP!
hope you liked it. :) dont expect a next chapter though, im too stuck up on what to right
