Chapter 3: Love takes time to heal when you're hurt so much

From the roof top, the two teens descend quickly down the stairs. They're both laughing, mocking, yelling and chasing each other like 6 year old children. After their usual and exotic character routine they decided to go back to their classroom. However, as they entered in the room, they were pretty shock because Nanami and Aya was the only people inside.

"Where are the others?" Miyu asked wondering her sight all over the place.

"Miyu, what took you so long? We waited you for about an hour but you didn't come back. What happened to you?" asked Aya worriedly.

"Oh… that thing… uhmm!" Miyu thinks.

Nanami went close to Miyu and saw her eyes - red, "Oh my God, MIYU! Did you cry?! Who made you cry?! Tell me!" Nanami shouted.

"No-nobody made me cry?" Miyu lied.

"Was it Kanata?!" Aya glared at Kanata fiercely.

"Hey, I didn't do anything!" Kanata shook his head and wagged his hand.

"Aya, he didn't do anything… it's just…" Miyu paused for about a second, "Actually, when I was cleansing my face with soap. Bubbles suddenly slid in my eyes. It hurts so much, that's why my eyes turned red."

"Oh Miyu, why you didn't tell us?" Aya pity Miyu so much, so she hugged her tightly.

"Don't worry Aya! A senior teacher was also in the ladies room on that time. She assisted me to go to the clinic." Miyu lied again.

Aya and Nanami made a deep sighed and said, "Oh… good thing there's someone helped you there!"

"Yah!" she gazed and smile at Kanata while the brunette returned her a thumbs up.

Aya turned her sight to Kanata and asked, "So, where did Santa go?"

"Santa? Well, he experienced stomach ache, that's why he went home early." Kanata replied.

"Oh! That Santa, he's so yucky! It won't happen to him if he didn't drink soda early in the morning!" Nanami said.

"Yah that was a bad choice, better drink juice rather than softdrinks." Nanami said.

"Again, where are the others?" Kanata broke their conversation.

"Uh, sorry I forgot to tell you before. Well… actually the principal allow all students to go home early becoz' of an emergency meeting of all teachers and staff." Nanami explained.

"And that's why we're going home, now!" added Aya.

"We're going home also!" Kanata said.

"You're going home now?! You mean…you two, won't go anywhere? I mean… date or something…?" Nanami teased.

"Date?! Oh come on Nanami… that's funny!" Miyu chuckled while Kanata didn't react.

"I'm just joking… ho-ho-ho!" Nanami laughed like a fool.

"Bwahahaha! Let's stop this non-sense and let's go home, or else we might see ghost in here….WOOOH-HO-HO!" said Aya acting like a ghost.

"Oh, Aya I'm scared~" Nanami pretended to be scared. Everybody laughed at their own corny jokes.

After that the four dashed out of school and waved a goodbye to each other.

While walking, Kanata suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no! I forgot!" he shouted as he took held of something from his pocket.

Miyu looked at him and asked, "What?"

"I almost forgot that today is the expiration date of my free movie ticket. Santa and I decided to watch a film in cinema mall today." The brunette said while scratching his head as he took the two (2) tickets out from his pocket.

"Free movie ticket?? How did you get those tickets?" the blonde asked.

"Actually, it was Santa who owned this. Coz, he bought 10 old movie records in Video city last month. In addition to that, he received this ticket for free."

"Ohhh…"

"But Santa surely might not come due to his stomach ache! And I don't want to watch movie alone." Kanata made a deep sighed.

"Then don't watch movie! It's simple, right!" Miyu said as if she didn't care.

"Do you want to watch movie with me?" Kanata asked her without further hesitation.

"Movie? With you?" asked Miyu wondering.

"Yah! Why, you don't want?" Kanata asked without gladness on his face.

"What movie are we going to watch?"

"Hmmm… James Bond…"

"James Bond!? I don't like that!"

"But it's great! Full of action and suspense… it's cool and thrilling. Don't you like that?"

"Naaah, I don't like action movies. Besides maybe it's rated 18. We won't be allowed to enter in our young age."

Kanata put his hand under his chin and thought for another movie.

"How about Twilight! Let's watch twilight!!!" Miyu suggested.

"Twilight??? That's a vampire story, right?"

"Yah!!! I think its PG-13 or below. We can watch that film!"

"But, it's a horror movie, right? And you're a number one coward who doesn't want to watch that kind of film. It's scary~ woo-hoooo!" Kanata frightens Miyu.

"But that movie wasn't scary at all. For your info. it's a love story between mortal and immortal people. I want to watch it… c'mon let's watch that movie! Aya and Nanami says that movie is so romantic and wonderful… the vampire there is cute! KYAAAH~ I want to see him!" Miyu giggled in excitement.

"Hmmm… But I want action movie! James Bond is the best!" Kanata cheered.

"Please Kanata, I want to watch Twilight. Pleeeeasssee…" Miyu begged.

Kanata thought for a moment and said, "Hey, how about let's try the mo-vie - - -"

"Hmpf! Then watch your own movie alone!" Miyu cuts Kanata's dialog, stomped her foot and went away. "I'll go home!!!"

"Hey! Hey! Wait! Don't leave me here! Fine! Let's watch TWILIGHT!" shouted Kanata.

Miyu stop walking, she looked at Kanata and made a huge smile…

--+--

Soon they end up in a cinema watching Miyu's preferred movie – TWILIGHT

As they were watching, Miyu whispered, "You know Kanata, I hope vampires really exist… and if they do, then I wish I'm in love with someone who's also deeply in love with me. One who'd be fascinated to watch me sleeping. One who doesn't have the courage to stay away from me anymore. One who'd risk everything just to make me safe again. One who would save me, not because I'm her prey but because I'm her life…"

Kanata looked at her irritably and said, "Yah! You'll find that vampire tomorrow!"

Miyu glared at him fiercely and stuck her tongue out "BLEH!"

"I can do that also… but I'm not a vampire! Tch!" Kanata muttered under his breath.

--+--

After watching the movie…

"Kanata that movie was soooo sweet and romantic! Thanks for inviting me. I think I can't be able to sleep as if I was thinking Edward Collens is looking at me…. KYAAH! " Miyu giggled like a fool.

"Ei! For your info, you're not Bella, your Miyu Kouzuki… hello!?" Kanata knocked Miyu's head.

"Shut up! I'm just wondering myself with him!" Miyu said as she hugged herself tightly.

"Hmpf! From now on you're a certified Twilight freak!" Kanata assured.

Miyu snob and shouted, "Whatever!!!"

"Ha-ha-ha! Twilight freak!" Kanata laughed, "Anyway, did you know why Edward Collen's skin sparkled like a diamond?"

"Was it, because of sunlight?" Miyu confusedly answered.

"NO!" Kanata said.

"Then what??!…"

"Well… because Bella touches his skin. Who touches yours? Ha-ha-ha!" Kanata answered. (A/N: Only Filipinos can understand that… sorry others!)

"Yah, whatever!!!" Miyu shouted in dismay.

"Hey, can we just eat first before we go home …? I'm hungry!" Kanata said as he gently strokes his stomach.

"You're hungry again? You already ate awhile ago, right?" Miyu said irritably.

"But I'm hungry….Come on let's eat… Don't worry I'll treat you!" Kanata said.

"You gonna' treat me!? --- Then what are we waiting for… c'mon let's eat!" Miyu said excitedly then she pulled Kanata's arms - ready to go.

"When it comes to a free treat you're always on the go…" Kanata slapped his forehead.

--+--

Kanata and Miyu went to McDonald. Miyu ordered coke float and fries while Kanata ordered Chicken burger, fries and ice tea.

"Hmmm… I really love float! It's Delacious!" Miyu said happily.

"Hey, I thought you're not hungry!? Anyway, it's Deli-cious, Miyu not Dela-cious! Stupid!" Kanata commented.

Miyu looked at him and said, "I know… I just make it dela-cious because this is not just delicious but truly dela-cious!" she explained.

"Fine… you're just adding another word in a Dictionary…Webster might get angry with you!" Kanata said, took his burger and made a huge bite.

Miyu just smiled. Then after a moment, her smile vanished into a thick air and turned it to a deep saddened frown.

Kanata looked at her and started to worry. "Hey, I think I didn't say anything bad…what's wrong with you? Did you eat something awful? Or have you seen a ghost?" Kanata said.

"No it's just… it's just…" still her eyes were focus on a straight path. Her emerald eyes are now shaking a little bit faster.

"Hey… what's in there?" Kanata looked at his back and saw Mizuki accompanied by a beautiful girl. Then he returned his look on Miyu.

Miyu's face became totally out of life. Her skin turned pale. She was shaking because she didn't know how she will react on the situation. Her heart started to pound faster. Deep inside she's bleeding.

"You want to go now?" Kanata asked anxiously.

Miyu couldn't able to speak her eyes started to blurred, she'll cry again for sure. But no, she should control herself. She's in the public place and she should behave herself.

She didn't reply. Instead she cut all the fries into a billion pieces. Now, she's out of her mind.

"Hey…what's wrong with you? What are you doing? C'mon let's go now, before you become crazy." Kanata stood up and pulled Miyu's arm.

"It's okay I'm fine!" said Miyu.

"Hey, look who's talking…Fine hah!? You're out of your mind, MIYU! C'mon let's go!" He continued pulling the blonde's arm.

"NO! I said… I'm fine! There's nothing wrong with me… I'm okay!" said Miyu, pretending that she's alright.

"Stop pretending! You're not fine, okay! C'mon!" Kanata tightened his grip.

But Miyu shoved Kanata's hand and said, "Look…I said I'm okay! I'm fine… definitely fine!"

"Fine! Okay! You're fine! But you're intellectually insane. Look at yourself. I have here a mirror. Wanna see your face? You look stupid!" Kanata said really annoyed.

"Why don't you just stop messing my day!? You're causing trouble! I SAID I'M FINE!!! ARE YOU DEAF!?" Miyu shouted at the top of her lungs. Totally, she's out of her mind to say those words.

All of the people look at them fiercely. Unfortunately, Mizuki saw them.

Kanata frowned because of Miyu's odd behavior. He returned to his seat and continued eating his chicken burger like a hungry animal. Still, he fixed his eyes on Miyu who's now stirring her float with the use of her finger.

Kanata shook his head.

Miyu took some secret glimpsed in the two couple, who's now walking towards them in a normal pace.

Then she said, "Kanata, the earth is too small, right? There's a lot of fastfood here in Heiomachi, but still his path always met mine." She said.

"Tch! Just don't look at them, okay!" Kanata said irritably.

Miyu returned her look on her food. Then she placed all the fries into her float and added ketchup on it.

Kanata gulped.

"Miyu, what are you doing? You're playing your food!" Kanata said after realizing that he paid for it.

Miyu just stared at him.

"Miyu-san, Kanata-san! You're there! " Mizuki was waving them a huge greet while walking towards them.

Miyu's eyes widened, her heart started to pound faster and more faster.

"Yah, we know we're here." Kanata said. He stood up from his seat and greeted Mizuki. Miyu didn't respond instead her eyes were fixed on Mizuki's handsome face.

Mizuki smile at them and said, "What a great surprise to see you both – dating."

"DATING!?!" the two shouted. Kanata choked while Miyu most likely spilled her drink.

"Am I correct… you're two dating?" Mizuki clarified.

Miyu shook her head and said, "No, we-we're not! I-is this what you called a d-date? In McDonalds?"

Mizuki's girlfriend turned her gaze to her boyfriend and said, "Honey, she's correct! It wasn't a romantic date to go in here."

"Hmmm… you had a point, dear!" Mizuki said and then they both chuckled.

Kanata gets irritated and said, "I'm hungry, that's why we came here. And after this we will go. And look, we're going now! Bye!" he clarified with a bit of annoyance on his statement. He stood up from his seat and pulled Miyu's arms. "Let's go home, Miyu!"

"You're going now? Why don't you stay for awhile? I haven't introduced to you my girlfriend…" Mizuki said.

"I know her! Miyu, told me. Right Miyu?" said Kanata as he turned his gazed on Miyu waiting for her answer. Miyu nodded.

"Oh!" Mizuki was surprised.

Ahvs leaned on Mizuki's shoulder and said, "And I knew him honey, of course he's KANATA SAIONJI. The most popular and handsome guy in our school! All girls knew him for sure!"

"Oh yah! Okay!" Mizuki said, then he turned his gaze on Miyu, "Miyu, I still remember your joke. I told that to my honey and after hearing that, she laughs." He said and chuckled.

"Yes Miyu, you can be a great good actress someday. You want to join in our drama club?" asked Ahvs.

Miyu couldn't able to speak but she tried to say something, "Well… actually… I… Uhm… aaahhh… eeehhh…" she's out of words.

Kanata broke their conversation and said, "Let's go Miyu!" the brunette said without any delicacy.

"You're going? Why don't you stay for awhile?" Mizuki asked.

"Yah, we want to, but we had lots of assignment and a lot of stuffs to take care of. That's why we need to go home as soon as possible." Kanata explained.

"Ah, okay! So, till here… nice seeing you both! Take care." Mizuki said

"We will!" Kanata assured. He held Miyu's hand and dragged her out from her seat.

--+--

While walking, Kanata asked Miyu, "You really want to see Mizuki, right? That's why you don't want to go!"

"No!" Miyu replied.

"Tch! It's clear that you still love him."

"I'm not!"

"Yes you are! I thought you already gave up on him. You still want to see him even if you still badly hurt? Does it mean you're still hoping?"

Miyu made a deep sighed and said, "I'm fine, Kanata!"

"Obviously, you're NOT! You're not listening to my advice! You're just hearing it then after that it goes out from your ear. I think I was just talking to the air."

"I-I'm just want to make friends with his girlfriend."

"Don't lie and stop pretending, Kouzuki! You're not funny!!!" Kanata shouted.

Miyu turned her gazed on the other way and bite her lips.

"Do you know what pretending means? Pretending means saying your okay, but you're absolutely not! You said you don't understand, but you really did! Acting like your fine, but in reality you're out of your mind. Convincing yourself that you just want friends, but truly you want him to be more than friend. You said you're not hurt, but your heart bleeds so bad inside. When you say you moved on, but the truth is you still love him!"

"I don't understand!" Miyu shook her head.

"You say you can't relate with what I'm saying but then you really do. You really really do! And I know you're truly hurt! Miyu, don't kill yourself! Let him go!"

Then silence ruled for about 5 seconds.

"Fine!!! Yes! I'm just pretending! What do you want me to do?! Burst out my anger!? Kill Mizuki? Kick that girl? Pull her hair? Slap their faces? What?! Tell me?!" Miyu shouted with a cracked in her voice.

"I'm not saying that you should act that way! That's a sin, idiot!... Look, I'm just after your feelings. Because every time you saw the person who hurt you so much, you're just scratching the scar on your heart and letting it bleed once more. Just keep yourself away from him. You're just hurting yourself. Just restore yourself for a moment till' that pain subsided!"

Miyu looked at him frowning. Her eyes started again to blur.

"Miyu, there's nothing bad if you avoid Mizuki! Avoiding him doesn't mean it's a bad thing to do. In fact, you want him but you know that your feeling wasn't right. That's why it's better to stay away from him for a while… Did you understand me?"

Miyu couldn't able to control her wounded heart. She can't able to talk. She was choked by controlling her tears. Kanata is right! She's just hurting herself. Every time she saw Mizuki with that girl, truly her heart bleeds. But still he wants to see him and she's expecting that maybe someday, somehow there's still hope that he will learn to love her back. Now she can't able to control her emotions, tears started to flow like a heavy rainfall from her emerald orbs. She tried to stop it but she can't.

Kanata sighed and wipes Miyu's tears.

"Why Kanata? Why it is hard to forget him? It really hurts! I can't help myself! I can't! I love him, Kanata! I love him so much! Why is it hard to forget him? Why? Why? Tell me? Hu-hu-hu!" she cried and turned her face on her right side. She doesn't want to look at Kanata. She was so lonely and hurt!

Kanata just looked at her with pity on his eyes. Then "Love takes time" sung by Mariah Carey played in the air…

Love takes time
To heal when you're
Hurting so much
Couldn't see that I was blind
To let you go
I can't escape the pain
Inside
'Cause love takes time

I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here alone…

Then out of the blue, Kanata slapped Miyu's left face "PAKKK!"

"HUH!?" Miyu gasped with a great surprised. Miyu eyes widened. She was badly shocked on Kanata's sudden action. She slowly touched her cheek and rubbed it nervously. She turned her gazed on the brunette and asked, "W-why, Kanata?! W-why d-did you slap me?" she asked fretfully.

Kanata was stunned for a moment upon looking at his right hand. Then he nervously looked at Miyu and said, "I-I'm sorry Miyu. I didn't want to do that to you… it's so happened that -- there is a mosquito landed on your face."

"Mosquito? A MOSQUITO LANDED ON MY FACE?!?!" shouted Miyu, confirming if it is really that tick bloodsucker.

"Yah, a mosquito or a vampire! I tried to swoosh it out but it didn't go away. And the only way to get rid of it…is to snap it out from your face!" Kanata showed his right hand to Miyu and said, "See, I caught it! And LOOK! There is BLOOD!"

Miyu couldn't able to control her angst. She gnashed her teeth because of Kanata's wrong time move. A lot of different angry and irritated spots appeared on her head. Kanata wasn't thinking. How come, he snapped out her EMO moment just for that damn leech? She lowered her head, gripped her fist tightly and started blubbering like Christine always does. Black aura covered her whole body. Her eyes glow like the orbs of green goblet. Now she's ready to kick ass!

Kanata gulped in horror. He wasn't ready to face his doom. He panicked but he tried to calm her down. But because Miyu was really motivated and annoyed to give him a hard punch she suddenly grabbed Kanata's collar and with a great willpower, she lifts him up on the air and shouted, "GO TO HELLLL!!"

Then Kanata was thrown out comically from the beautiful planet earth. (o.O)

To be continued…

Never love if you're not prepared to be hurt.
Never start if you don't have plans to finish it.
Never speak if you don't mean it.
Most importantly never love so much!
