Author's Note: Well sorry for the long wait and here is my next chapter and I have a good news, school was over so I can give my full attention in my entire stories. So pray that I can update as much as I can.
RECAP:
"But that would be 10:30 if I'm lucky and that is very late already and your house is far from mine and I need to rest and study and its going to be hard and I don't think I could last like that for 3 weeks." Botan said putting some sence on Shuuichi
"I know that would be your answer so I had it all plan just agree with me." Shuuichi said looking at her with a smile for he can feel that Botan would say yes anytime now just like before 'She still hadn't change, she's still the Botan I know who helps people in need especially when that someone is him.' Shuuichi thought
'Stop smiling before I can't help but say yes to you.' Botan shouted in her thought "About what?" Botan asked controlling herself
"Well if you stay in my house it could be possible." Shuuichi said as if it was a good idea
'No, not 3 weeks in one roof, I won't do it even if you smile at me again I won't say yes.' Botan thought and as if Shuuichi had read her mind, he suddenly smiled at her
"Okay!" Botan muttered slowly before realizing what she had said and bit her lips.
Quotes:
Love had never been blind
It just became blind
When the person who are in love
Doesn't want to open their eyes
To see what they have to see.
Chapter Six: Hidden Truth
It's just been 3 hours after they had dinner and talk about their arrangement and Botan was now lying on her bed thinking whether she could last for 3 weeks with Shuuichi and she know very well that she won't be and she can't do about it anymore, she already said yes.
"Ugh!" Botan screamed in frustration as she thought how stupid she was to fall for Shuuichi's stupid smile "I hate you!" Botan said, as she looks at the old picture of her and Shuuichi in her bedside table
'What am I going to do?' Botan thought as she sat up from her bed
'Packing would be a great idea.' The voice suggested
'I can't leave.' Botan said, 'Well not now, I mean my exam is coming up and it would determine whether I would get a license or not.' Botan added as she remembered her exams
'Then what will you do?'
'For now, I have to review for my exams and tomorrow I'll leave everything to God.' Botan thought as she prayed for help and started to flip her books
Minamino Resident…'God, thanks for making Botan say yes.' Shuuichi thought as he was fixing both the twins to get ready for bed which turn out to be him covered from head to toe with baby powders
After getting the twins to bed, Shuuichi went to his own room to fix himself before he get ready to bed for tomorrow will be the day where Botan will be staying in his house to help him take care of the kids which is a good a idea ever.
Laying on his bed after drying his hair, Shuuichi find himself looking at his ceiling as Botan's face come flashing in his head. He can't help but to notice that she had change a lot, starting from a very shy and nerdy type girl into a beautiful and sexy girl, her curves are exactly where they needed to be but even though she had grown so much physically she's still the same Botan he knew, the one he had love and tried to forget because of a promise that he had made.
'After all this years I can't believe am still finding myself falling in love with you all over again just like before.' Shuuichi thought to himself as he remember something that had broken his heart so much
FLASHBACK"Kazuki, I need to tell you something." Shuuichi said looking strait to his best friend Kazuki
"Sure, go ahead." Kazuki said also looking at his best friend
"I like Botan and I know you felt the same way to her but I can't let you just have her without a fight, I mean it won't be right if I just let her go." Shuuichi said quickly as he avoided Kazuki's eyes for a few times
"So what are you suggesting we do?" Kazuki asked amused. He knows that he and Shuuichi are best friend and it happened before when they had fell in love with the same girl and Shuuichi would come to tell him about his feelings and they would have the 'May The Best Man Win' thing between them but they will still remain as friends because no hard feelings right but now its different. Botan is one and only like the only Diamond you could find inside a truck full of coal and his not sure if he wanted to have the 'May The Best Man Win' thing to happen
"Well, we always have the 'May The Best Man Win' thing whenever we fell in love with the same person so maybe it would be alright for you if we have that again." Shuuichi asked trying to read Kazuki's eyes for any hint
"You're my best friend Shuuichi but Botan is different from all the woman we fell in love with and I know you know that and I don't know if I could go with the 'May The Best Man Win' thing because I love her and I was first to tell her my feelings so I hope you understand. I don't want to be selfish but I would lie to you if I would say yes." Kazuki said looking at Shuuichi all sorry
"It's okay, don't worry I understand." Shuuichi said and left without another word.
Three days after the talk…"Botan, I like you." Shuuichi said looking at Botan
Botan who was so shocked to hear it was about to tell him her feelings toward him the one she was meaning to tell him when suddenly…
"I can't believe you betrayed me."
"Kazuki!" Shuuichi said looking at the new comer
"I thought you're my best friend but I was wrong." Kazuki said and before anything else he went back to his car and drove as fast as he can like he was in the racing track
Shuuichi was full of guilt had left Botan's house and went after Kazuki in his car. As guilt filled Shuuichi's whole being rain started to fall very hard, Shuuichi can't see where his going but he won't stop until he had a chance to catch up with Kazuki to tell him his sorry when he saw a car had crash on a near by tree and to his horror it was Kazuki's car.
Shuuichi went down from his car and went to Kazuki's car to find him but he wasn't lucky for Kazuki weren't wearing his seatbelt and he was thrown out of his car. Shuuichi saw him laying on the ground breathing slowly and he did the most logical thing, he called an ambulance and after calling he went beside Kazuki pulling his head up to lay it on his lap when Kazuki's eyes open.
"I'm so sorry men, I didn't mean to betray you it just that I love her so much but I'm willing to give her up if you would just hang in there." Shuuichi whispered as silent tears started to fall
Kazuki who can't feel his body just look at him and suddenly drift into darkness that he can never wake up from. Kazuki is dead.
Five days after Kazuki's death…Shuuichi had stayed home after Kazuki died, he didn't go to work, in his friend's house and he didn't even called Botan up. He just lay there in his bed blaming himself about Kazuki's death. He wanted to move on but he can't stop to blame himself on Kazuki's death and that is not how you move on. Everything is falling apart, his life and all but then he may know something that would help him to move on so he went to take a shower and went to the cemetery where Kazuki's grave is located.
At Kazuki's grave Shuuichi knelt down in front of it as he laid the flowers he had brought for his best friend…
"I'm sorry, if I didn't tell her my feelings you would still be alive, it's all my fault and I know you haven't forgiven me yet that's why I'm promising you this… 'I, Shuuichi Minamino, would forget my feelings toward Botan Furuya forever.'"
Shuuichi made that promise and he had fulfill it by saying goodbye to Botan saying that he needs to take care of their family business back in L.A. which is true but he never added the other reason that he was also going there to help himself forget her and his happy because she never asked about the night before Kazuki died and that is why he ended up in L.A. to forget, to take care of their family business for short moving on. What a pathetic story, he knows because that what it is a pathetic story about a pathetic love that made him loose his best friend and a brother as well…
END OF FLASHBACKShuuichi suddenly sat upright sweat falling from his head and t-shirt soak in his sweat, he didn't even realize that he had fallen asleep and that he was not having a flashback of memory but a nightmare.
