Another chapter~ I hope you enjoy!
When Saki was finally able to will her eyes open, it was sometime in the early morning. Saki sighed as she attempted to get off the couch she had previously been asleep on. Izaya-san's jacket? She stared at the jacket that was laid over her like a blanket. Saki blushed. How can he even care about me? I'm nothing but trouble. Saki sighed again.
Saki quickly searched for a piece of paper. Once she found one, she quickly scrawled:
Went out. Be back later.
-Saki
She folded Izaya's jacket and left it on the kitchen table and carefully placed her lie (note) on top. I don't want to leave, but I've overstayed my welcome. I've taken advantage of your kindness for the last time, Izaya-san. I-I love you. She was crying before she could get out the door.
Saki got on a train and headed for Ikebukuro. Once there, she wandered around aimlessly, letting her mind wander on its own. "Neeee! Aren't you the girl who's always with The Adviser?" Saki's attention was focused on the source of the voice now; a cute girl around the same age as her. "Yes. Why?"
"I'm Harima Mika! I'm dating Yagiri Namie's younger brother!" She replied enthusiastically. She really was a cute girl. I wish Masaomi would find someone like her. He'd be so much happier, Saki thought.
"Ah. I'm Mikajima Saki. I thought you looked familiar, and not just because you look like that head." Saki joked. The two girls giggled. "But you're usually glued to Seiji-san, right?" Saki inquired.
"Yes, usually I am. But because of the long weekend, he promised his sister he would go on a trip with her. I'm disappointed I didn't get to go." Mika replied.
"It sucks to be away from the person you love. I would know. I've lost everyone I've ever loved or felt close to. I'm actually used to it now." Saki wished she hadn't said that. Mika made a pained expression, almost as if she sympathized with Saki.
"I'm so sor—" Mika was cut off. "Don't." Saki interrupted. "It's not necessary for you to pity me. I'm fine on my own. Goodbye." Saki walked away in haste. She regretted letting herself open up to someone. "If you ever need anything, look me up!" Mika called after Saki. Saki just pretended she couldn't hear her but inwardly thanked the other girl.
