HE'S MINE

028

"What?" he watched my face and narrowed his eyes, he knew I had something going on in my mind.

"Are you friends with her?" I took a deep breath before asking him about Emma, don't ask me why it's bothering me so much.

"Emma?" The look on his face said it all, scrunched his nose, "I have never talked to her before, she just sent me a cake in the morning, saying she turned 18, which I don't know why it matters to me." he sounded lost, he still didn't tell me what went afterward between them, and neither did I dig deep into it.

"What?" he snapped his fingers in front of my face to bring me back to reality and watched me for a response.

"umm, nothing, I have a good night." I smiled and waved my hand. I bet he waited for me until I entered the house. about Emma, I don't think asking him such a thing was the right decision, I entered the house to be greeted by Shinichiro, who has been ignoring me like I was the worst kind of disease and I didn't bother him either. Besides everything that happened, today was Emma's birthday? How come nobody decides to celebrate it?

"Next when you decide to come late, inform us," Shinichiro stated, not even looking at my face. I stood at my spot and nodded. He was upset with me even he knew I hadn't done anything wrong. My mind couldn't agree with him not knowing my character, there was no way he didn't know his sister was.

"Are you still mad at me?" I asked, walking behind him silently. Consider your brother angry at you regarding something, you can't just leave them upset.

"No!" He answered, cleaning the table in the lounge as an excuse not to look at me.

"I know I can't prove myself right against Emma and to be honest, I am still shocked how she lied so bluntly," my heart ached when I thought of Emma's lies. I mean, she might have fooled the world, but God knew that what truth was. It felt like, living with her was the worst thing for me.

"It is okay, I will be fine. I just need some time to get over everything. I made a fool of myself to force you with my brother." He declared and it crushed my heart instantly, but I did like him or maybe I still do. The only thing that changed was the fact that now I knew he would never fall for me.

"You never made me like him." I cleared in an outburst, how could he doubt my love for Mikey? "My feelings were pure," I replied and ran upstairs as the tears began falling in my eyes. I needed to get over Mikey, he would never be mine. His memories were like a pain to my existence.

I stayed in my room, even when the family was having dinner together. I have left my matters in the hands of God, he will make things right for me.

It went on for the next two months, I have been hanging around with the orphans, Sanzu, Hanma, and Yuzuha. Mikey had been avoiding me and honestly speaking, my love for him has started to take over again as I realized I was back to zero. The feeling of dating him and being in his arms had aroused as the distances grew between us. Just when I thought, I was over him, the love, my passion has started to drive me crazy. Just once, I just wanted to experience his love.

"I don't like ketchup Shinichiro!" I was in the kitchen, one evening when Mikey and Shinichiro were sitting in the lounge. Shin Ichiro slowly regained his trust again in me, I made sure to not upset him by sharing anything about my new friends.

"Y/n hands him the ranch you have made, she makes the best ranch." Shinichiro had been on the task of pushing me towards again him. Mikey didn't raise his head and neither did he took the ranch. I knew I had hurt him, I should have handled things more maturely, but what was the point if I can't be with him. His closeness had always made things worse for me so it kind of was better to stay away from him.

He got up and left without uttering words. I cleared my throat and sat with Shinichiro. He smiled at me and squeeze my hands to reassure me everything will be fine.

"I wanted to ask you something," I mumbled, Yuzuha had asked me for a sleepover and she has forced me to persuade Shinichiro. Even though Shinichiro had forgiven me, I still hadn't gotten over his reaction from the last time.

"Sure." He smiled, picking up the utensils.

"I have a sleepover at one of my friend's places," I didn't wanna tell him the name since he won't waste a minute to say no.

"Which friend?" He questioned, heading towards the kitchen to wash the utensils.

"Lizzy!" He was so very sweet and polite guy, nobody questioned him ever, and the fact that I have been lying so frequently made me rethink my life's decisions.

"Yeah, but be careful, okay?" He smiled and began doing his dishes. I happily got up and marched into my room, feeling extremely happy. I packed my stuff and head out with Mr. Grandpa, who dropped me at Yuzuha's house, he knew the truth and had no issue with me hanging out with Yuzuha.

Yuzuha's house was a peaceful place, her brothers were busy with their own lives, so we had the whole house for ourselves.

"I am so happy that we are back being friends." I laughed as we hugged each other, "let's change into our pajamas," I mumbled cheerfully, we had matching minions pajamas that we always wore at sleepovers. I was about to head towards the bathroom when she held my hands and stopped me in my tracks.

"What's the rush?" She asked and smiled, her smile was very creepy. My heart missed a beat, but I kept my posture intact.

"What do you mean?" I inquired, my heart beating fast in my chest. I don't know why, but suddenly there was this fear in my heart that I was unable to explain. I kept watching her face and her grin grew bigger.

"You will know." She mumbled and turned around to dial a number, I held her hand tightly to prevent her from doing that, and looked her in the eyes.

"Yuzuha, what's going on?" I asked her, worried, and scared. Her smile faded off for a moment as she worriedly stared me back, but then, shaking her head, she let herself free.

"Don't worry!" That was all she said, she hurriedly called someone while I stood behind her like a fool.

"Hello!" she mumbled on the phone, "yeah my brothers left," she stated, "she is here. just come quick and bring him too." She said before hanging up and marching towards the kitchen, I followed her and saw her grabbing some bottles of wines from the cabinet. We never agreed on that, what was she even up to?

"Yuzuha, what are you doing?" I asked angrily, but then the bell rang. We both stared at the door and my heart sank in my chest, she rushed towards the door to open it before I could get a chance to object. I have made a terrible mistake by coming here alone.
