(THE NEXT MORNING HIKARU) I slowly got up and looked at my phone. It was 8:52 am. I rubbed my eyes and got up. As I went to go check on Yuki I heard a crash in the kitchen. I ran into the kitchen to find breakfast and Yuki cleaning up the plate she dropped. (YUKI) Damn it, I thought. I broke another plate. I looked up and saw Hikaru there. I just finished cleaning up the plate so I stood up smiled and said good morning. I walked over and put the bag with the plate pieces in the trash. I offered him to sit down at the table, but being as stubborn as he is, he instead grabbed the plates and the food and set the table. (HIKARU) After helping her set the table we sat down to eat. As I ate in silence with her I kept thinking about what had happened.I wanted to bring it up, but it was a sensitive topic so I decided id wait for the right time. So instead I asked her about last Wednesday. Not expecting the reaction that I got. "Hey Yuki? I stopped by last Wednesday because you did not come to school that day. You didn't answer the door either. So when I noticed the curtain was up I peeked in and saw you crying. What happened?" (YUKI) I froze at his words. At his questions. I never even noticed that he came by. He sat there waiting an answer, the answer I was not prepared to give. Sense I lied about my parents working overseas so I wouldn't get the drama that comes with saying your parents are dead. I sat there frozen, thinking of something to say. When it hit me. Why say anything at all? All I have to do is change the subject. I stood up, walked over to Hikaru leaned down and kissed him. I could tell he was super shocked. After the kiss was over. I left him there in a state of shock and cleaned up the table. As I pondered over what to do because that kiss won't last forever and neither will changing the topic. As the answer came to me, I didn't like it, but it was the only way. I walked back to Hikaru just as he got out of his shocked state. I asked him if he would like me to sing for him. He gave me a puzzled look, but said yes. (YUKI SINGING) Feel it cutting into me, the doubting painful knife Feel it deepening the rift, finally hit just right Couldn't take the love I had, so weak and burning low But it grew into a weapon only hurting me, this I know ...is nonfiction So good with numbers, science, math I like But I'm terrible at English so I despise This part of me that wants a simple "right or wrong" And I feel that everything I choose will always be false And today This homework About me A blank sheet Accomplished Content with This life I will now live 'Til I think why are we just sometimes no always Saying how we're sad and Saying how we're lonely? Can you even read the blackboard written, clear as can be? Can you even read his mind? See that kid's lost fantasy? Can you even find the one who dyed her red heart to black? Hey, who could it be? Hey, someone tell me! Can you even solve the question with your abacus yet? Can you even stop the rope from hanging her by her neck? Did we really choose it right saying we're okay this way? Hey, just tell me how It's not like I care now Counting days like numbers, they all pass their prime And again hypnotically swimming through time Behind the power and guards I put up I hide Knowing they had long died From problems My resolve Just can't solve That homework Accomplished Content with This life I will now live 'Til I think and he speaks That demon inside us Saying "let me just leave" Saying "someone kill me!" Can you even read the blackboard written, clear as can be? Can you even read his mind? See that kid's lost fantasy? Can you even find the one who dyed her red heart to black? Hey, who could it be? Hey, someone tell me! Can you even solve the question with your abacus yet? Can you even stop the rope from hanging her by her neck? Did we really choose it right saying we're okay this way? Hey just tell me how Hey just tell me how! Can you even say the formula of area now? Can you even scream the dreams you swore would never go out? Who was the one who let my hopes just curl up die? Hey, who could it be? No, it's gotta be... Just open up your eyes, why don't you grow up and see? But what the hell is "growing up" and tell me when will I be? Can a single person out there just explain it to me? Hey, just tell me how It's not like I care now! (YUKI) Just as Hikaru was about to ask questions about the song I knocked him out cold. Laid him down on the couch and went to my room to pack some clothes. I cried silently at the fact that I got him caught up in all of this. The drama of my life. The pain. Thats something I knew I had to deal with alone. I packed my clothes and wrote a note to Hikaru and left. (THE GUY) I've been watching them sense Hikaru took Yuki from me. Waiting for my chance. Waiting and waiting. Minutes turned to hours. Hours to a day. Id wait for years if I had to. Than the sweet melody of Yuki's voice hit me. I was in awe over her sweet voice. But why is she singing for him and not me. The anger boiled inside of me. I was so angry I wanted to go in there and kill him. Slowly. Take my knife and skin him alive while Yuki is forced to watch. Slowly peel his skin from bone until he is nothing but remains of the person he was. So that way Yuki can have him be nothing more, but a distant memory. Just as I was about to go in there and kill him. Someone opened the door. To even my surprise it was Yuki without that freak. I crept back into the shadows to avoid being seen by her. As I waited for my chance to take her. Waiting is waiting. (YUKI) I shut the door. I left everything of who I was inside. My phone, photos, my boyfriend, everything except a few clothes and some cash. I walked down the stairs and started my new life. Little did I know it was about to come crashing down.
