Chapter 36
Needless to say, the action stopped right when I said, "Tsukushi."
I looked at the woman in front of me, no longer who I thought it was no longer with her porcelain features, soft brown hair.
"It's okay baby, whatever turns you on…" she drawled lustily still sprawled on the bed.
"I'm sorry," I said as I put on my pants, slipped on my shirt, picked up my jacket and left.
I hear her screaming as I let the door slip behind me, it echoes through the silent hallway, but I continue walking. I have nowhere to go, what is supposed to happen from here on out? Not soon before long I find myself in front of 'our' room door. I gently open the door, god knows why.
He's in the chair, she's in bed, and only the hands link them. I am still stumped, I can't move beyond this point, even if it hurts like hell to see them so wrapped up in each other; in their so called love.

The rest were gathered down at the lounge, Shigeru tucked in Tsukasa's arm, Shizuka staring out the window and Akira staring at Shizuka.
Akira tried to break the silence, "The doc said she's going to be fine… "
"Then why is he still up there with her!" shrieked Shizuka.
Still shocked from her outburst everyone watched as she crumbled before them.
"Why is he still there with her if she's going to be fine! Why is it that someone I thought loved me actually loves me just because I resemble her! Why is she my best friend," said Shizuka trailing off at the end in sobs.
Tsukasa let out a deep sigh as he brushed his face with his hands, "How the heck are we going to get out of this. Damn it!"
Shigeru rushed to run her hand up and down his back trying to soothe his temper, "We'll figure something out, it's two already. I think we're all just exhausted, come on Tsukasa, let's go to the room"
"Yeah, we're all just tired, sitting around won't do us any good. Let's go Shiz, I'll bring you back to your room," said Akira helping the puddle of Shizuka up.
"Will tomorrow be better just because we sleep tonight? Will this all disappear," mumbled Shizuka feebly.
"Hopefully I won't have to wake up," said Tsukasa as he walked away.
That was the last sentence for the night; everyone left for their fitful nights rest.
