Hello and welcome back!

Chapter 3

"Hi Misaki-san," he said cheerfully however his aura quickly turned dark after he switched of his machine "HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO KNOCK AT THE GODDAMN DOOR! COMMON COURTESY DAMMIT!" was Aoi's delayed reaction.

"Aoi!" and she ran up to him and hugged him tight.

"Hey, Misaki-Chi, what's wrong?" Aoi, who finally calmed down over Misaki's sudden appearance, asked, worried about his friend, who was acting oddly.

"It's over- Tora and I. He loves another," she said sadly, holding back her emotions.

"THAT DUDE! URGH!" then, he sighed, "well, are you going to get over it? Or are you going to hug me and hide your tears by stuffing your face into my shoulder and hope a miracle happen."

Misaki didn't move. She needed his comfort a little longer before she let go and began her break up therapy with Aoi, who claimed to know everything about being in a relationship yet had never once participated in one. Misaki let go of the man, and looked at him confused.

"How are you so calm? I thought you would have at least broken a vase?" she said with a questioned look.

"Well," he began, "for a while, I have been telling you to break up with him. Subtlety, obviously, I know how much you love him- or at least loved him. Misaki, I said it because I knew it was a matter of time before he left you. As someone who works with those kind of people and I always know the hot gossip, so I already knew it was coming about 3 months ago, sorry," he finished.

Aoi heard Misaki sob. "Can I stay here for the rest of the day? I don't think I can be by myself, it's too much," she whispered, tightening her embrace.

The next day

Aoi and Misaki stayed at home and watched old fashioned sitcoms together and drank wine- a lot of wine. Misaki surprisingly had a high alcohol tolerance, although it made her.

Bring! Bring! Bring!

"Hey Aoi, the phone's ringing" Misaki yelled but Aoi didn't respond. "I'm pretty sure he had too much wine," she mumbled and got up from the sofa she was laying on, to answer the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hello is this Aoi Hyoudou home?" replied male voice.

"Yes, but, if I may ask, who's calling?" she asked politely.

"I am a personal assistant of Mr Tora Igarashi." Misaki froze. "I have called to speak with Mr Hyoudou about Mr Igarashi's engagement party, is he available?"

Misaki was shocked. 'He is already having an engagement party- I mean, I don't care. He's an asshole. I don't care'.

"Miss, are you still there?" this cut her out of her thoughts and brought her back to reality.

"Oh. Yes, give me a moment," she quickly looked and saw Aoi lying on the sofa in a ball and sleeping away with bottles of wine around him and clutching a beer can, which he drank once the all the wine in the flat was finished. "I am very sorry, sir. He is... erm... busy, can you leave a message- I am his close friend?" Misaki said carefully, she couldn't tell the man that Aoi was so drunk he fell asleep.

"Unfortunately, I have strict orders to speak to him directly. Never mind, Mr Igarashi will arrive at Mr Hyoudou's home to invite him himself. He will arrive in an hour, so at 6 o'clock. Thank you for your help, goodbye," and he cut the phone.

Misaki, still a bit shocked from the fact that Tora had got over her very quickly, looked at the pig sty that was Aoi's flat and then checked the clock before running over to Aoi.

"Aoi, Aoi! Oi!" she shook him and he stirred but refused to wake. "AOI FUCKING CHAN, GET YOUR ASS UP! TORA IS COMING HERE!"

"Misaki, who died?" Aoi mumbled and he turned around in his slumber.

"Tora's going to be here in an hour. The flat's a tip and you're half drunk and-"

"You're still not over him, so you should leave." Misaki froze.

"What are you talking about? Why wouldn't I be over him? Of course I am over him," she returned flatly.

"Ayuzawa, I want you to leave this flat, I will call you when you can come back," Aoi said seriously. He knew Misaki better than she knew herself; she would probably murder Tora the minute he steps on to the pavement outside the block of flats. Misaki knew she had lost this fight because Aoi's serious voice was one to be afraid of. She sighed and began to tidy the coffee table.

"Okay, Aoi. I will leave, but at least let me help you clean this place," she said, looking at his confused face, which then turned into a small smile and he too began to clean.

About half an hour later the flat was as good as new. Aoi had instructed Misaki to walk around the city for a bit, before the shops closed, just to clear her head a bit. And so, she went for a walk. During her excursion, she noticed a large crowd of people surrounding a shop. There appeared to be press representatives and other media representatives surrounding this shop. The shop itself was new, as Misaki had never seen it before, despite frequently being dragged by Aoi to his shops around the city.

In-between the heads of the crowd, she could see blonde spiky hair and then a flash of green eyes.

'He must be a celebrity, ' she thought to herself and took no notice of it, as she had no need to pay attention to such people. Misaki was not one to pay attention to celebrities, apart from Aoi and Tora of course. Misaki believed in the chaos theory: she felt that if she did pay attention to media, then she could become wrongly opinionated about people, which could cause trouble for her because she might become biased about certain politicians which would affect her work and respect that she had gained. One small thing leading to ruining her life. (A.N. The chaos theory is one small thing leading to a bigger thing which leads to a bigger thing that sort of idea).

Misaki had been staring at the crowd before her for about two minutes. She shrugged and began to walk around the crowd; however, she noticed a boy trying to cross a nearby street and stopped. The boy ran slightly because he could see a truck coming his way. He tripped and fell flat on the floor. Misaki made a run for it.

CRASH!

And that's it for this chapter. My author's note last time was very long, so I'm going to try and make this one shorter. I have no idea where this story is going to go, which I know is a bad thing. I mean, I know the ending, just not the middle, which has always been my flaw, but hopefully, the chapters will still be okay. Big thanks to everyone who reviewed, I really do almost scream when I see a new review. Also, due to school, I can only update on Sundays and Mondays, but it is most likely to be on Mondays, if not then expect 2 chapters the following week.
