Childhood Love

Chapter 6

Kazuya POV

Edgar was bleeding and Aki was still struggling to free herself from the grip of the boy.

"Hey! Don't you know that you must not make a girl cry?" I said getting up. "Let them go, they have nothing to do with this."

"You're not in the position to tell me what to do."he said letting go of Aki.

She ran towards Edgar. "Are you alright?" she held him in her arms and hug him.

"I'm alright, don't worry." he said.

"You two go away." I shouted.

"But you..."

"Edgar! Get her out of here." I cut her off and he pulled her with him.

"So where were we." I said turning to the boys.

"Don't underestimate us." he groaned.

"Ha! We'll see." I said provoking him. He rushed at me and the other two grabbed me by each side. He punched me hard on the stomach and I let out a cry of pain.

"Who is the stronger one now, huh?" he laughed and the others join in. He continue to punch me when we heard a man shout."Hey, you there." They let go of me and ran away. "Are you alright?" asked the man.

"Yeah." He help me to get up and lead me to a bench nearby. "Thank you."

"It's nothing. Will you be okay by yourself?" he asked.

"Yeah. I live in the neighbourhood."

"I see. Be careful not to get in a fight next time." he said smiling.

"Thank you again." I said before he left. I remain on the bench for some time and closed my eyes. Without knowing, I fell asleep. When I woke up, I went home.

I stepped in the living room and found Aki sitting on the crouch. She heard me and ran to hug me.

"Wh...What are..."

"I'm glad that you are safe." she said crying.

"As you see I'm fine so could you let go." I said and she let go. Before she could say anything, I went to take a shower leaving her alone. Afterwards, I went to my room and saw Aki cuddling on the floor near the door, a first aid kit in her arms. She lifted her gaze and stood up. I walked past her and opened the door. I was about to close the door but Aki had blocked it.

"Move." I said.

"No." she replied. "We have to treat your wounds."

I signed and let her in. She treated my wounds. "Ouch!" I let out.

"Sorry."

We remained silent and when she finished, I told her to get out.

"Why?" she started. "Why do you hate me?"

I looked at her surprised."I don't hate you. It's just that..."

"Just what?"she said."When I confessed to you, you didn't have to tell the whole class about it. You had humiliate me."

"It's your fault for suddenly doing it." I said almost shouting.

"My fault?!" she shouted out."You...you...arg...forget it. It's already in the past now. But be sure that you will regret it." after saying all that she had in her heart, she went out, slamming the door behind her.

~Next morning.~

Aki POV

I woke up early next morning. After arguing with Kazuya yesterday, I didn't want to see him. I looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes were red as I had cried all night and my hair was in a mess. I didn't want to go to school but as my parents will ask me why, I couldn't tell them that it was because of him. I washed my face and got ready.

"Good morning! " greeted Kira."You are really early today. Do you have a meeting?"

"No, I just wanted to checked the new premises of the football club." I lied. Well, it was partly true.

"Oh. A football club?"

"Yes, a student at school wanted to open one."

"Ah, I see. Here's your lunch box. Have a good day!"

"Thank you."

Edgar POV

"Where's Aki?"I asked Kira while I was eating breakfast.

"She already left for school. Didn't she tell you?"

"Already left? She hadn't said any thing."

"It's not like you're her mother. You don't have to know her whereabouts each seconds." said Kazuya.

"And it's not like I had asked you."

"Please calm down! You won't start yelling this early morning." interrupted Kira.

"I'm full. Thank you for the food." I said getting up. I put my shoes and went to school."I'm off!"

Kazuya POV

"Adolescents, what a rebellious age." signed Kira. "Well, I was also like that in a certain way." she laughed. I smiled at her.

"Thank you for the food." I was about to got up when Kira asked me.

"I don't know if you know, but when she was little, Aki had a difficult life."

"What do you mean difficult? She had all she wanted and..." she cut me off.

"That's what everyone thought." she said sadly. "Anyway, get going or you will be late for school."

"I'm off."
