Alright guys, this is it for a few days. School ends soon so I'll probably post different stories (not making any promises) as well as continuing with this one. Hope you like this chapter :)
Naru was in complete shock and would have fallen to the floor if the desk wasn't in front of him. WHAT?! No! Not yet! Naru pleaded. "I'm so sorry Kazuya. I think what your mother is doing is shallow and cruel. You should be able to marry someone you love, not some random you've never meet" Lin's voice was think with anger. Tell that to my mum Naru started to cry again. B-vvvv! B-vvvv! B-vvvv! Naru's phone started to vibrate across his desk but Naru didn't give a fuck. Wait…it could be Mai Naru picked up the phone and…That is not Mai. "Hello mother" Naru said barely keeping his rage in check. You could almost hear her smile. "Hello darling, I can tell you have heard the news" Naru's mother sneered. "OH DON'T START THE WHOLE "HELLO DARLING" THING WITH ME!" Naru roared. YOU'RE TAKING MAI AWAY, YOU BITCH! Naru kept that to himself, but just barely. "Darling, please don't be mad. She is a lovely young lady, with all the qualifications I deem worthy of your wife" she said calmly. WHAT DID YOU SAY! "MAD!" Naru laughed "I'M NOT MAD! I'M ENRAGED! AND WHAT THE HELL COUNTS AS THE RIGHT QUALIFICATIONS OF MY WIFE?!" Naru had lost it. All I want is Mai, not a…how did that cow put it? Ah that's right! 'A lovely young lady'. "Well don't be that either, sweetie. And Elizabeth is a much respected doctor here in England. She will be perfect for you!" Naru's mother sounded excited. MAI IS PERFECT! "I doubt that she is perfect for ME, very much mother" Naru said, his teeth clenched. "Well don't, because she is just what you need" his mother snapped. What I need? Naru felt a bubble of laughter rise in his throat. "You're despicable, you know that don't you mother?" Naru smiled as if he were possessed. "Whatever do you mean, darling?" she sounded frightened. Oh dear god! Really? You're acting innocent?! "Oh, trust me you know" Naru said hanging up on her. Lin hadnot moved from the doorway and looked a mixture of angry and unsure. "Lin, if a client calls, please tell them I'll be back…soon" Naru said barging past Lin and heading for the entrance of SPR.
"Ok, you're sure you don't need us to stay and help you Mai?" Monk said at the doorway to her apartment. "Yeah, you sure you don't need some help with dinner or something?" John said, worry covering his face. I love you guys. Mai smiled at her friends and nodded, instantly regretting it as her head started to pound. Neither of her friends seemed convinced but they nodded. "Well see ya later then, Mai" John said, concern filled his voice. Monk grabbed the door hand and smiled a reassuring smile. "If you need anything, you call one of us, ok?" Monk said worried. "Of course guys" Mai said giving each of them a hug. As Monk closed the door, Mai ran to her bedroom and fell on her bed. She was drained and all she wanted to do was sleep but she couldn't. A thought had been nagging at her all day. Had Naru actually been at the hospital crying over her? Don't be ridiculous, he doesn't care about you her subconscious told her. That was true; he tried everything to get her away from him like she was a disease. But then explain his jacket. That was also true; how did his jacket get there if he hadn't been at the hospital? Ah! I don't know! Mai gave up trying to figure out if Naru had been there and went and had a shower.
Much better Mai thought as she got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around herself. The hot water had helped with her headache and made Mai feel so much better. I don't smell like hospital anymore Mai smiled. As Mai pulled her bed shirt on, she saw ugly bruises on her hip and on her forearm. You are so god damn lucky. Mai then turned to looked in the mirror and gasped. Mai raised her hand to her face and prodded her forehead, wincing at the pain. God…this is me. Mai's forehead was covered in black and green bruises and she was very pale, which made the bruises worse. Oh my god! Why did no one tell me?! Mai touched the stitchers on her head and was at a loss for what to think. She lowered her hand and Mai looked at the black line of stitchers that ran from her thumb to her wrist. All this because of that stupid dream?! Mai huffed.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Ah! What is that! Mai thought pushing her pillows onto her ears. "Maaaaiiii…" someone slurred. Was that Naru? What is he doing here? Mai thought as she walked down the hall to the door. Mai opened the door and the smell of alcohol wafted into her apartment. Mai could not believe what she saw. Naru was leaning on the wall, smiling down at her obviously drunk. He had a new set of black clothes on but they were covered in dirt. "Naru?" Mai asked even though it was obviously him. "The one and only" Naru smiled and took a swig of his beer. His beer filled breath blew onto Mai, making her cough. Mai's eyes widened and she was unable to trust what she was seeing. Naru's eyes were locked onto Mai's head as he took another mouthful from his bottle. "That's one nasty bruise, baby" Naru breathed. DID HE JUST CALL ME BABY?! I must be dreaming! "Uh, yeah, it is" Mai couldn't stop from blushing. Naru smiled and tried to stand but just collapsed. I better call someone; I can't handle this by myself. "Naru, stay there" Mai sighed. Naru let out a huge laugh and sipped his beer. "I'm not going anywhere, sweetie" Naru smiled that devilish smile. Gezz, I never thought I would see the day he would smile like that Mai laughed.
Bring!...Bring!...Bring!...OH SHUT THE HELL UP! Monk willed the phone. Bring!...Bring!...Bring!... "OK! OK!" He yelled. Who would be calling at this hour? Monk looked at the caller ID and he suddenly got worried. "Mai! What's wrong?" Monk asked frantically. "Uh…well. Monk I need your help with Naru" Mai said embarrassed. What?! "You call at" Monk checked the time "two in the morning for guy advice?!" Monk was angry at Mai, but was relieved it was just this that was wrong. "Oh no! I would call you at this time for that. Um…I need you to help me move Naru from the hall" Mai was obviously blushing. Ok, maybe I didn't make myself clear the first time. What?! Monk was utterly confused. "Um… well Naru is collapsed in the hallway drunk and I need your help to move him" Mai sounded as if her head would fall off from embarrassment. "Hold up, did you just say Naru is drunk?" Monk smirked. "Yeah, and I need your help to move him" Mai barley whispered. OH MY GOD! I never thought I would see the day! Monk laughed. "Ok, I'll be there in ten" Monk smiled
