Reunited - [Pico x BF] (Completed) EDITTING

Chapter 16 - Mission

Keith's Pov

I knocked on the door of Cherry's house. I also rang the doorbell while I'm at it.

Someone opened the door, and there they are. The people that I was expecting.

"Ah! Keith, sweetie! Come inside and have tea with us." Cherry's mom opened the door widely.

"I don't want to battle anymore." I said, getting straight to the point.

"Why not?"

"I already had a life with someone. I can't battle for Cherry anymore." I said.

Cherry looked hurt, she failed to hide it.

"Look. There's some other people. Like Nene for example." I said, hoping they'd just accept it right away.

"But you're so good at this. Why throw it away?" Her dad said.

"Because..." I clenched my fist and looked away. "I already hurt someone."

"But you two broke up, based on how you use your words. Does it matter anyway?" Her mom said.

"No... Pico..." Cherry mumbled.

"Yeah... I guess that doesn't matter." I said, sighing in defeat.

I heard Cherry's mom snicker. What do I do now? Pico doesn't want to be with me. I don't have anyone.

I looked up, realizing it just now. "But I can make things right. I can prove to him!" I said determinedly.

"You've already made plenty mistakes."

"Yeah, and it'll be okay eventually." I said. "We learn from our mistakes. And I think that what makes us stronger. Like... Like a rhythm game! If you play it a couple of times, you'd memorize it and you'd be better at it. Just like relationships... in a way."

"Are you certain about your decision?" Cherry's dad said.

There's something wrong.

"Of course I am." Even if I'm feeling a bit off, I still answered confidently

"Alright, sweetie." Cherry's mom said, crossing her arms. "Lock him up." She added, snapping her fingers.

"What?"

"Mom! What are you doing? This is too far!" Cherry exclaimed.

"And intervening in the first place isn't?" Her mom said, cupping her cheeks using her arm. "Just wait, sweetheart. It will be over soon. You can have him."

"Begin the memory erasure process." Cherry's dad said.

"Don't!" I said, struggling to escape from the grips of the supposed dancers. I got hit in the gut by resisting.

I spat out blood as my eyes started to close. The last thing I saw was Cherry running away.

Pico's PoV yay

I opened my eyes and felt pain, at the same time, comfort.

What the hell?

I looked around the room and saw Nene and Darnell staring at me.

"Why are you two staring?" I asked.

"You were sleeping in a weird position, we thought you were possessed." Nene said.

"It was horrible." Darnell shivered. "You also weren't answering, what's up with that?"

"Deep sleep, maybe." I said, shrugging.

"Yeah, you slept for 87 hours." Darnell said.

"87?!" I got out of bed. "I'm fully recharged anyway."
