Happiness - DDLC Story

Chapter 7: A Helping Hand 2

I hear a alarm go off and I turn it off. I look at my phone and the time is 7:25 in the morning. I immediately get ready and then I knock on the door to Natsuki's room.

"Natsuki? You awake?" I ask.

"Yeah, just reading manga." She answered.

"Alright well get ready soon." I said. I head down stairs and got some cereal for me and Natsuki.  Now that I think about it, what would Sayori think when I go out with Natsuki? She might get the wrong idea so I'll just let her go first then I will a bit soon after.

Natsuki eventually joins me and eats her cereal. She looks at me,

"Do you think there is a way we can get out of this game?' She asks.

"Well, maybe? The way Monika got me here can probably work but reversed." I answered. I should talk to Monika about that when I get the chance at the club. She shrugs then we finish our breakfast and then she left. I take my gloves off to see that my arms are faded but not fully gone.

"Oh no.." I say to my self nervously. I look at my chest to see it's a bit gone on there too. It's getting worse and going faster by day. I need to hurry. I put my gloves back on then got up and opened the door to see Sayori standing there.

She looks behind her to see me, "Hey Mike! Ready for school?" She asked. I nod and we make our way to school. I look at her.

"Did you eat anything for breakfast?" I ask. She looks at me then smiles.

"Yeah, thanks for checking up on me though." She responded as I smiled back at her. Suddenly she stops then I do with her.

"Is something wrong?" I ask.

"I have to tell you something Mike.." She said. I looked at her concerned and she started blushing a little.

"I l-" Sayori got cut off from Natsuki coming up to us.

"Just tell me later, ok?" I tell Sayori. She got a disappointed look then nods.

"Hurry guys we need to get to school!" Nasuki grabs our hand and we start running to school. We reach the school and we head our separate ways. After all classes was done me and Sayori make our way to the club. Sayori suddenly whispers in my ear,

"Meet me on the rooftop after the club meeting." Before I can say anything she picked up her pace and went into the club. Maybe it's the thing she wanted to tell me earlier? I head in too, I look around and I don't see Yuri anywhere.

"Hey has anyone seen Yuri?" I ask.

"No idea, maybe in the library?" Monika says. I look at her.

"Oh thanks." I respond. Monika winks at me, which I'm guessing she already knew where she was. I quickly make my way to the library and search around. I looked around almost every row until I got close to the last one, then I started to hear heavy breathing.

I peak to see where the heavy breathing is coming from and see Yuri facing another direction so I couldn't see what she was doing. It looked like her sleeve was down. The heavy breathing started to get faster. No way shes.. my hand slips off the bookshelf forcing a book to fall off.

Yuri jumped in shock then looked at me and quickly put her sleeve up and began to run with something in her hand. It looked like something sharp. I run after her as we ran through the quiet empty halls.

"Yuri stop running!" I yell.

"No! Leave me alone!" She responded. This girl is fast, I didn't expect her to be.

"Please! I can help you! Just trust me!" I say and Yuri kept running and eventually stopped and I stopped too. I try catching my breath but it was so hard. I take a second to recapture myself and look at Yuri.

"Why do you want to help me? Why do you even care? I'm just a outcast.." She said. That question shocks me.

"Yuri, I want to help you, you don't deserve to be going through this. You have me and the rest of the club that care about you and don't want to see you get hurt." I respond. I suddenly see a tear drop from her face.

"Yu-" I get cut off from her dropping a knife on the ground quickly moving in to hugging me. I hug her back and we stood like that for a little. She was crying on my shoulder. We pull away.

"I'm going to get you some help, ok?" I said and she nods. Looks like were very close now. Yuri picked up her knife and put it away. Me and her head back to the club. We both enter and Monika waves at us.

"Welcome back guys!" Monika tells us.

"Now everyone let's share our poems!" Monika announces. We get our poems and start to share. After all the sharing was done we sat down because Monika wanted to tell us something.

"The festival is coming up and now we need to start to prepare for it. We need materials for the festival like posters, a lot of paper for sign up, and stuff to just decorate the clubroom." Monika said.

"Any ideas for decorating?" Monika asked us. Everyone started thinking then Sayori spoke up,

"Maybe we can give it all sorts of themes. To like resemble all of us and different areas of the room." Sayori suggested.

"That's not a bad idea, do you guys agree?" Monika asked. I honestly think it's an amazing idea, it's something different and shows off what we're like.

"Yeah I agree." I say.

"Same." Natsuki answered.

"Sure, that wouldn't be to bad." Yuri responded.

"Good it's all settled! Everyone gets materials for tomorrow! Alright that's it, meeting closed." Monika announced. We all pack up and leave the clubroom saying our goodbyes. Me and Sayori head to the rooftop. She looks at the beautiful view of the town. We can see everything around us.

I look at her, her pink short hair was being blown by the wind. Putting her hand behind her back holding the other one. She looked at me. Sayori looked so angelic. Those blue ocean eyes.. I think I maybe do like her..

"Mike, I like you a lot. Ever since we were kids I wanted to be with you. You are always so caring and kind to me. Do you feel the same way?" Sayori says to me with ease.

Without hesitation, I say my response.
