All of a sudden, I hear I Believe In A Thing Called Love by The Darkness plays and I freak out and do a jujitsu move, until i realized it was my cell phone. I answer the phone.
"Hello?"
"Lovedie?"
"Haruhi!" My heart started pumping.
"Lovedie, I'm sorry, you can't come over today. My father is working late and I have errands to run. I apologize a thousand times.
My heart sank. "No. It's perfectly fine. Maybe another time."
"I really am sorry. See you tomorrow?"
"Mata ashite!" I said in the cheeriest voice I could manage.
"Bye."
I hung up the phone. I don't know why, but I was really disappointed. I mean, of course I'd be disappointed, but I'm really really disappointed. Something about hanging out with Haruhi makes me feel happy. I don't know... I walked over to the checkout counter.
"Hey Tsukiko. I'll take over for you."
"Thanks, Lovedie. Ya sure?"
"Yeah. I'm in no rush to get home."
"Okay. Thanks!"
I watched her long black hair bob against her back as she ran to the Philosphy section to find her boyfriend. I saw her ankles in the air beside the shelf, she must've jumped into is arms, a lover's leap. I wish I could fall in love with someone who would love me the same. Then I could jumo into someone's arms in a lover's leap.
I miss Drake...
"Love-chan?" a sweet voice broke me from my sleep.
I opened my eyes. The setting sun shined through the glass windows. The sunlight made Kaoru's face shine bright.
Kaoru?
I stood up and gasped. "Kaoru! What are you doing here?"
"I came here to look for a book for yo- I mean, I came here to look for a book about... umm... cooking."
I looked at the book in his hands. "But the book you're holding is titled, 'Hush, Hush'."
He gasped. "Th- this is for my mother!"
I smiled. "I see." Bullcrap.
"Yeah. Anyways, I couldn't find a good one, so I got this one instead. And I came here and found you sleeping."
"What time is it?"
"A quarter after six."
"Oh. I got off at six. But I'll scan the book for you."
"Uh, yeah. Here." He handed the book to me. I swiped it across the price scanner. "That'll be 1200 yen ($10)."
He handed me the money and I put it in the cash register. I grabbed the 'This Lane Is Closed' sign and put it on the counter.
"So what would you like to do now, Kaoru?" I smiled.
"Uh, umm. Well, uh. We could..."
"Okay. Let's try a different question. Where's Hikaru?"
"He's.. Uh... Well..."
"What's wrong, Kaoru?"
"I'm just tired... Hikaru's a home."
"Why are you so shaky?" Why is he so nervous?
"I..." And when he said that, he fainted onto the ground!
"Oh my God! What do I do! Holy friggin'! Gahhh!"
After a few more seconds of panic, I lifted him and put him over my shoulder. I started walking to my house.
"God, Kaoru! You're going to ebd up giving me a hernia! You're heavy!" I know he couldn't hear me, but really!
After a while we arrived at my house. I walked up the steps and into the house.
"Good evening, Lovedie. When do you want dinner?" my grandmother said. "Who's that you're carrying?"
"Kaoru Hitatchiin, the boy whom I tell you has that sweet voice and is mischievous."
"Yes dear, but why are you carrying him."
"He passed out." I yelled down the stairs.
I walked into my room and layed Kaoru on my bed. "Well this is strange..." I walked over to my guitar. I started playing "God Knows" from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I adore that song. After the intro solo, I started singing it.
"Blazing on by There's nothing more that I could do I'm sorry that I'll never be with you again Even though My heavy heart is parched with pain I know somehow Your sorrow's something I won't see
It's my life I'm moving on and never going back there The future's turned away And leave me on the lonely rail
God knows that I will follow you if that is what you wanted Take me into all your darkest shadows And you'll see that I'm even stronger than you could know God knows that I am standing here and you could disappear Slipping right over the edge of the future If I had my way We'd be together forever Eternally god bless
The way you're standing there I feel as though we're almost one again And yet We're miles apart in time Beneath the pale blue moon I see your eyes are glistening With so much love!
It's tearing you apart to be here!
You know it God knows that I will follow you if that is what you wanted Take me into all your darkest shadows And you'll see that I'm even stronger than you could know God knows that I am standing here and you could disappear Slipping right over the edge of the future If I had my way We'd be together forever Eternally god bless"
I started crying as I burst into the ending guitar solo. When I finished I fell to my knees crying. I miss Drake so much. I miss him. I wish he wasn't so cruel. Is it wrong to miss someone who wronged you?
"Lovedie? A-are you crying?"
I looked up and saw Kaoru looking at me worriedly. "You are." he said with his sweet voice. "Why is that? You were great!"
I blushed. I looked away from him. He heard me?
"Tell me what's wrong, Love-chan."
"Drake."
"Drake?"
"Drake... was my boyfriend... and he cheated on me... and I miss him."
I felt his hands on my head. "Ever heard the phrase, 'love is blind'?"
"Yeah."
"So is hatred."
I stopped crying. What does that mean? Is he implying I miss him because I hate him? "What do you mean?"
"You miss him. You hate him. You love him. Love is blind, so is hatred."
I ran my hand through my short black hair. "I hate him."
"Yes."
"I hate Drake. I hate him. I hate him!"
"Lovedie..."
I looked at him. "I hate him!"
"Lovedie."
"I hate Drake!"
"Lovedie!"
"I-"
I was cut off my Kaoru's soft lips.
