HE'S MINE

015

Me: Why do you care?

I was nettled, but for some reason, I found myself answering him back. I can't offend him, I can't be rude to him. The thought of his sweet little heart being ached because of my doings had crushed me multiple times before.

Unknown: You okay?

He repeated, why does he hurt me and then be sweet to me?

Me: I am not.

I answered and felt weak in my knees.

Unknown: Then be okay :p

That tongue emoji he sent me shocked me. He has talked sh** about me to Shinichiro and now he was jesting about it.

I didn't answer him back, there was nothing to answer about. I just posed in my bed and hollered for the rest of the night. There was only one person in my life, Shinichiro, who had loved and cared for me in this house and now I've lost him too. Losing him has also crushed my hopes of getting with Mikey.

No, I shouldn't be thinking about him now, he is dating my friend.

I woke up late and having a sick headache. I had very little time to get ready, not like I would take hours for it. All I had to do was to get a shower and slip into my regular jeans and a plain top. The lounge was silent and empty, they had their breakfast already. Shinichiro didn't wait for me that day either and had mucked out the breakfast. That pained my heart. My eyes seemed to be coming out of their sockets In pain, they had bags under them.

I sat in the back with Emma in the passenger seat as always and the car engine started.

It was the most awkward ride, I had a lot to ask and answer to Mikey, but I kept practicing the debate in my head and lacked the grit to talk to him. Emma's presence was another reason that I couldn't do that.

The car halted in the school's parking and Emma jumped off before us. I rushed to the out and waited for Mikey to leave the car. My blood pressure dropped as the anxiety kept rising. After he finished sending some texts on his phone, he jumped out of the car, determined to meet his friends and girlfriend, obviously, oblivious to my existence.

"Mikey, can I talk?" I voiced, getting his attention and making him finally turn around. He narrowed his eyes at me while he placed one hand on the car to support his body. The disgusted look on his face was draining my confidence.

"What is it about?" He sounded pissed, I hated to encounter despise in his voice for me.

"About Shinichiro," I mumbled, and as rapidly as I stated her name, he shook his head and began walking away like he was done, he was not ready to discover anything from me.

"Mikey!" I shouted out his name again, I have to do it. He has mistaken everything Yuzuha has said even after she confessed I had never bitched behind their backs. It hurt to see how little they knew of me, they were ready to assume the worst for me, even when I endangered myself for him.

"What is it, Y/n?" He hastily turned around and raised his voice, the students passing by looked at us and ambled away.

I awkwardly looked around and far away, it was Sanzu and his group standing with their bikes, "I don't wanna talk about it, do you ever get a hint or not?" he wailed with no mercy, I have never heard him this loud.

I shakily stepped back and he hadn't even walked away when a tear rolled off my eyes. This was so embarrassing, he should have acknowledged we were standing among students and observed by The Orphans.

"Yeah, grab Yuzuha's sympathy and make me look like a bad guy." His voice turned softer, he shook his hands in the air and slapped his forehead. It was an awkward situation, I felt like I was being a clingy person and I was forcing a conversation.
