Cracks
Eiri dropped onto the ground and threw his school bag across the room, accidentally knocking a photo frame onto the ground where it came down with a crash.
The blonde stared at the broken frame from the door (he was leaning on the door) for a minute or so in silence before he stood up to clear the mess. He approached the frame and kneeled down to pick up the pieces of glass. It took him only a second for the photo in the frame to get his attention. It was a picture of 'you-know-who'.
He cracked up upon the picture and dropped the glass pieces back to the floor.
The glass reflected in the moonlight as it dropped. Like a slow motion movie, it drew his soul to just observe it fall and crash into a million pieces before crashing into the other pieces of glass.
Beauty huh. He thought and ran his hands through the powdered pieces of glass. Is that what Kori felt when she saw these fuckers?
The blonde pressed his hands onto it, applied enough pressure until his fingers were bleeding. The red acrylic blood streamed through the space and flowed into the pile, staining the glass pieces one after another until pain overcame his nerves that he took his hand off the pile and laid back onto the back of the sofa.
"What the hell am I doing?" He cracked into a squeak, "I will become like what I always hated. That was what happened to Kori."
(N/A: Kyaaa…..I feel like an idiot! I'd actually written till the end of the part already! Urg…. I am I so stupid to click no when it asked me if I'd save?! Kyaaa!!!!!!!)
Eiri swept the glass away from him and picked up his bag, pulling out his cell phone to call his best friend when it just rang.
Without hesitating he answered the phone with a 'hello', when he heard her voice:
"Eiri, can I meet you out? Like now?"
The blonde did not reply.
A sigh and a sign of a sob, she begged, "Please."
"Where are you?" He asked and looked out the window beside him. She was, as he had expected, just outside the apartment but Touma was with her. So before she could even reply, he spoke again, "I want to speak to Touma."
Kori held onto the cell phone for three seconds more, and then passed it to her brother.
"He wants to speak to you."
Touma nodded and picked up the phone, only to realize that Eiri was sobbing already. Although the weak behavior, he spoke immediately after Touma held the phone to his ears.
"I want to leave tomorrow. Can you get the air tickets?"
Touma nodded and replied a yes softly; in fear that Kori would be upset if she knows what Eiri's going to do.
"Pass the phone back to Kori."
Touma passed the phone to Kori, hesitated for a second before letting go of the phone.
Kori picked up the phone, still shivering, picking it to her ears. She knew that whatever Eiri's going to say is going to hurt him as much as it hurts her, but that did not stop her from talking to him. "Eiri?"
"I'm sorry." Eiri answered and draw the curtains open so that they can see one another's face. "I can't be by your side anymore."
Kori looked up at the window that Eiri was standing by, only to see a shaded figure. (It was past midnight remember? Plus, it was dark in Eiri's room.) Then, something was sparkling by the dark figure's face. Tears were flowing down Eiri's cheek.
"Let's break then." Kori said as if she did not care, but her heart was struggling for an answer as well. "I don't see anything that'll come out good from our relationship. I hope it ends before you leave."
Eiri's lips trembled and looked down at the girl.
She, who had now totally looked away from the window, and back facing the blonde, had dropped the phone from her ears. Touma picked up the phone and pressed it against her ears, and then Eiri replied, "Gomenasai, arigato, Seguchi."
Kori passed the phone to Touma and ran away from the spot. Touma picked up the phone but Eiri already cut the line. Touma looked back up the window but the dark figure had left, leaving the curtains wide open. Then with no hesitation at all, he ran after his sister.
Eiri stood beside the window, away from the window's view and hugged onto the phone. His heart cracked totally into smithereens, his body felt weak and heavy. All he could focus on was the teenage girl who just entered the room upon Touma's call a few seconds ago. Still holding onto her phone, which she had just ended the call when she heard her brother crying, she ran towards her brother and hugged onto him tight.
"Kori and I ended." He sobbed and dropped his head to Mika's shoulder, in which was returned with a kiss on his forehead, "I'm sorry baby brother, but I hope that you and her would find redemption soon."
Eiri nodded and replied a simple, "'n'. "
