CHAPTER 8: WHEN YOU CAME…

He was confused. He didn't know what he really feels. And maybe he was afraid and he didn't want to admit it. He was afraid to let her in. Because if he did let her in, into his heart, she would have the power to hurt him… And he didn't want that. He didn't like that. He doesn't want to get hurt.

'How about her? What if she feels the same for you? Don't you think you're hurting her by acting as if you don't care?' the voice in his head said.

"I… I… I don't really think she could possibly feel the same towards me. After all, I'm nothing but a narcissistic jerk in her eyes. I bet she hates me…" Naru whispered to himself.

'I don't know about you. But I think you're just being selfish!' the voice shouted and disappeared.

"I guess I am… I am being selfish, right Gene…?" he whispered as he continued to drown himself in the silence and misery he has brought upon himself.

Then you came around me

The walls just disappeared

'Maybe it would have been better if I haven't met her…' he thought.

With nothing to surround me

And keep me from my fears

'If I haven't met her… She wouldn't be bugging my system… She wouldn't be in my head… I wouldn't get jealous every time she's with other guys…' he thought again.

I'm unprotected

See how I've opened up

"But, Naru… if you haven't met her… You'd still be stuck in your lonely shell. You wouldn't have experienced the happiness she brings." He said to himself aloud.

You made me trust…

"I guess… It's okay. I'm happy just seeing her smile and laugh. Still I wish… I was at least one of the reasons she's happy. I want to make her happy… But maybe I can't…" he said again, as he continued to sink himself into self-pity.

He never thought someone like her would come along in his life. He can't believe she was there. And he wants her to always be there, even if it means watching her from afar. At least he can see her.

"Mai…" he whispered her name, his heart feeling that warm feeling again every since she came around.

And yes, he finally admits it. He was jealous of the young priest and how close they seem to be during the past few days. Yet, his cowardly mind didn't want to accept the reason why he felt jealous… His heart knew he was jealous because he loves her… But his mind was too stubborn to listen to his own heart.

'You love her…' his heart whispered, as the one who was listening to it smiled.

'I hope you realize this soon, you idiotic scientist of a brother…' Gene said as he watched his confused brother, drowning in his misery… Still he smiled.

"At least, his heart isn't as stupid as his head." Gene added saying to himself and disappeared.

Synemyoa: Well, how was it? I know it's a bit too short but I'm having a writer's block so it isn't that long. I hope it's okay though. Tell me what you think. Whether it's awful or not. Take care!
