Kairi pov.
I wiped another tear away and I listened to the sad songs on the radio. "Stupid Zack." I said out loud. "Stupid Rikku." I shouted again. Another tear fell down and this time I didn't even mind to wipe them away. Here i am on my way to college, eight full hours away from home... And no this wasn't my first plan. I had everything planned out. Go to college with Zack and Rikku, Rent a apartment so we wouldn't have to deal with dorms, Go for art classes and live happily ever after.. But no... everything needed to go wrong... Just when things got worse.
I know what your thinking, what is that girl rambling about? Well pack some drinks, some food and maybe a tissue so you can get comfy for the worst breakup ever. But first things first let's start how I met the two before everything went downhill.
I met with Rikku in kindergarten, While she was introducing herself to everyone and everything. I was the girl that hide behind my mom's leg because I was too shy to even greet some kids. She happily skipped from kid to kid, shaking their hand. "I'm Rikku, wanna be friends?" She asked over and over again. When her eyes met mine I went even more shy but that didn't stop her. She rushed over and held her hand out and waited for me to shake it. I looked up to my mom and she gave me a comforting smile. "It's okay Kairi, don't be shy." I kept frozen and my mom just laughs. "Come on, she won't bite." She stepped aside so I couldn't hide anymore but I kept my gaze at the floor. "I'm Rikku, What's your name?" The blond girl asked. "I'm Kairi." I said really soft but she just smiled. "Well Kairi, I have a feeling that we're going to be best friends."
I let out a tiny laugh, Best friends right? I took a turn to right just like my navigation told me.
Rikku and I became indeed best friends and we did everything together. There was nothing she or I wouldn't know. From our first kiss to our first times. We SHARED everything... You know where this is going? No? Well stick around it will be clear in a few minutes.
Rikku and I went to the same middle school and that's where I met Zack. The popular boy that had all the girls drooling over him and yes I was the lucky girl...
It was Lunch time and Rikku and I searched for a empty table so we could eat. "Hey Rikku, come sit with us!" Someone called out to her and we both turned our head. A group with the popular people called Rikku and when I tried to move on my own she just grabbed my arm and dragged me along. "Hey guys, do you mind if my friend sits with us too?" She asked nicely. "No not at all." One of the girls said, I smiled, sat down and awkwardly ate my lunch. Zack kept eyeing me and so the nerves grew bigger and bigger. I had a crush on Zack for over a year now. And I mean how could you not? He had the most beautifully eyes I've seen in my whole life. The sweetest voice and his body wasn't bad either. And yes he played sports so I wasn't being weird.
After that day it didn't take long to let my feelings grow and when we went to high school it didn't take long when everything changed, Zack confessed his feelings to me at the beginning of our school year and of course did I say yes. We started to date and I was on cloud nine. We dated for two years.
I wasn't feeling well and it was now a month straight I had a weird feeling in my stomach. Rikku sat on my bed and scrolled down her phone. "Maybe you're pregnant." She said without looking up. I let out a cough. "Excuse me?" I said looking at her like she just told me she had a sugar daddy. Wouldn't surprise me tho... "Well Zack and you did have slept together, right?" I nodded. "So it's not that weird to ask." She finally looked at me. "Well so you know we use protection, always." I walked of to my chair and sat down with crossed arms a little annoyed at her words . "Well they don't always work, right?" She said and rested her head on her palm and eyeing me deep in the eyes. Shit... she was right. "Only one way to find out." I said and she smiled. "Call me when you know." she said. I watched her walk out of my room. "I need to go, I have some plans."
I let Rikku out and went to the small drug store. It took me a good twenty minutes to get there and I wore a hat and glasses so no one from school could recognize me and start the rumors. I walked over to the counter and the guy behind it looked done with his work. "Hi, can I help you?" He asked with a anyond look on his face. "Yes, Can I have one of these?" I pointed at a pink box behind him and he rolled his eyes. "teens, always doing dumb stuff." I didn't say anything and paid. Once he handed it over I rushed back to my home. Let's hope nothing is wrong with it...
I went straight to the bathroom and went over the instructions. I took the test, Placed it on the bathtub and waited. five minutes felt like 5 hours and when my alarm finally went off I closed my eyes while grabbing the stick. Negative. O thank you! It's was negative.
I was so happy but I still didn't feel well but I wasn't pregnant! I called Rikku to let her know but she didn't pick up and even hang up on me. That wasn't a thing Rikku would do. I fronts my eyebrows and tried again. But it even went straight to voicemail this time. Rikku wtf...
I tried to call Zack so I could tell him what happened just right now but once I called him he hung up. What's wrong with those two? This wasn't them. I put my phone in my pocket and walked out the door to my car. Well time to find out. I started the car and drove right off to Zack's house. I know he was worried since I texted him this morning I didn't feel well again. I parked my car and headed out. I grabbed the key I got last year so I could come over anytime I would without having to knock first. "Zack?" I called his name but the house was empty. "Zack?" I shouted a little bit louder. "Hmm, Maybe he's out with friends?" I said to myself. I was almost out the door when I heard giggles from upstairs with a 'sssh.' What the? I climbed up the stairs without thinking and the giggles got louder. I heard some mumbling coming out of his room and I knocked. "Not now mom, I'm busy." He said. "Zack?" I said again and I heard a loud thump before the door opened and revealed a naked Zack. "Hey babe, what are you doing here? aren't you sick?" He asked and gave me a nervous smile. "Why are you naked?" I asked ignoring his smile. "I just took a shower." he said still blocking the view of his room. "Can I come in?" I asked but he started to push me away still blocking his room. "No it's a real mess in there and you would hate it." He gently grabbed my arm but I pushed past him. "Kairi, wait." he shouted but I pushed his door open.
In his bed was Rikku, not to forget to mention she was naked. She covered her body with the bed sheets but she smiled. Not the nervous smile Zack gave me but the evil 'I won' smile. Tears started to fall down and I turned back to Zack. "It's not what it looks like." he said holding his breath. His face was red and I know he was lost for words. "No Zack, I'm done." I said and ran down the stairs back to my car.
I drove back to my home and the tears wouldn't stop. Once I came home I wanted nothing more then lay in my bed and cry. I opened up and walked in. I let my back rest on the door while wiping away my tears. Why in the world would they do this to me... I asked myself. "Kairi come to the kitchen, now!" my mom called from the other room. Well great she's in a bad mood too.
I walked to the kitchen and saw my mom and stepdad sitting at the diner table with a to familiar stick in front of them. Crap... "Kairi, why is this thing here?" He asked. His eyes bore right into mine and I tried to make eye contact with my mom but she just looked away avoiding mine. I tried to find words but I couldn't "Did I stutter?" He asked and slammed his hand on the table. "N-No, It's a test." I said with a small voice. "We know, but why is it here?" He asked. "Because I wasn't feeling well for a while and I thought maybe It could be that I got pregnant but I'm not!" I held my hands up. "That doesn't make it any better Kairi. The fact that you had to take one is worse enough." He said and I nodded. "But I'm not pregnant so can't we just be happy?" I said now feeling annoyed. "Listen young lady, we don't speak in that tone here." "And you're not my dad so why are you pretending you are?" I was angry at this moment. His face grew redder and even my mom looked me in the eye now. "KAIRI, you can't say that." She said coldly. "But I'm right, He isn't my dad, my real dad left and didn't come back." I said. "Go to your room." He stood up pointing to the roof looking more angry than ever. "No, you're not my dad so you can't tell me what to do."
"I married your mother so i have the right to tell you, so go to your room!" he raised his voice even more but I was so done with everything so I sat down at the table with my arms crossed and ignored his demand. "Kairi this is your last warning , go to your room or you can leave the house." He said I kept ignoring him.
Before I knew what happened they both went to my room, packed some bags and threw them in my car. "fine if you won't listen than you can leave the house.
The tears started to swell again and without saying anything I walked to my car, again. "I called your grandma so you can stay there till you leave for college." My mom finally spoke in a normal tone. "I will tell shiki what happened." She said ending our conversation.
So there you have it. The break up. I still can't wrap my head around it because it all happened so fast. My parents that just threw me out of the house like I was a dirty cloth. I was so lucky that my grandma took me in and took care of me. I lived a good year at her house. School was hard, the rumors did spread really fast and the lies that came with it didn't help. My little sister Shiki only talked to me on the toilets so no one would bully her too and she even pretended she didn't know me in the hallways.
I made the last turn and a big building appeared in my eye field. Destiny high. The college I didn't even know about till last year, Far far away from people I might know. The school with none to a few rules. Boys and girls sleep in the same building, sleepovers wasn't a weird thing, staying in a boy's room was fine either.
I parked my car and tried to take it all in. This is where my new life will start I guess.
