Behind the Smile

Chapter 16

He takes the jacket back. He takes off his glasses that have water splattered all over the lenses, he uses the bottom of his shirt to wipe off the rain drops.

We continue to walk to my house. We get to the small house that's on the end of the street.

"I'll have to get going. I'll see you later." Oikawa says, he gives me a small and short kiss before heading to his home.

I run into the house, and run up the stairs to my room. I open the drawer on my nightstand, grabbing the pocket knife. I grip onto it hard enough the tips of my fingers are turning pale.

I wrap up the fresh and open scars; laying down in my bed, while looking at the ceiling.

"Am I really worth it," I say, talking to myself. "Mom has to get enough money to pay the bills, while I'm laying here and doing nothing."

I get out of bed, grabbing a rope that's in my closet, tying it to the wooden bar. My phone dings making me look back, I see my lockscreen which is me and Oikawa.

I start untying the rope, throwing it into the closet. I jump onto my bed, picking up my phone and turning it on.

Oikawa
I was wondering if we could go on a date. We haven't been on one since we started dating

Of course, when?

I reply. I lay on my bed, waiting for a response. My phone dings, I look at it.

Oikawa
Friday? After school

I reply back saying Friday is good. I go off the messages and click on the photos app

I jump of my bed, running down the stairs to the living room. I turn on the computer, connecting my phone. I save all of photos I have, freeing up the space on my phone.

I pull up Semi and Oikawa's emails, sending them the photos we took this weekend. I pull up all the members from the team and email them photos I got from the short time we have known each other. I hit send and go back up the stairs.
