P5 X NSP ; The Persona In Me

Forced Heartbreak

"Cory?! What happened?" Bloom asked, concerned. Cory stared at him before hugging him while breaking into a sob.

"S-something happened with m- sob relationship between Lara!" Cory said. Bloom stared down at Cory before petting him.

"There, there. Calm down and tell me what happened to you and your girlfriend's relationship." Bloom said in a rather gentle tone. Cory sniffles as he let go of Bloom and wiped away his tears. That didn't help since all the tears were coming from a singular eye.

"So, w-while I was at work...Lara came towards me wi-with sniffle a-a rather bad look on her face. A-I asked her what was wrong and s-sh-she told me that we had to....." He hesitated at the last word. Bloom, however, knew what he was gonna say last.

"Oh, no. You two broke up?! But...why?" Bloom asked.

"S-she told me that her mother had pl-planned a marriage for h-her and some sniffle rich guy." Cory said, voice quite shaky.

"That's terrible! What kind of mother does she think she is? WHO does she think is she to force a marriage between her daughter and some guy she doesn't know!?" Bloom demanded. Cory then points to one of the large billboards on the buildings which Bloom looked at. It was the news.

"Breaking news! Modeller Kiyomi Hagakara has announced a wedding for her daughter, Lara Hagakara and a rich guy, Carlos Henson. Here's Ophicus Snakedream with more info." The large screen cuts to the news reporter.

"Thank you, Aku Iceshadow. Hello, Miss Hagakara! Would you like to speak about the wedding of your daughter and a rich guy?" She asked Kiyomi. The woman has long, slick light blue hair and dashing amber eyes.

"Why, yes. I am very proud to say that this upcoming marriage will be the most important part of the Hagakara family! We'll be able to get to travel to other countries so I can show off my elegance to those countries. As for her old boyfriend, stay away from her or I'll press charges." Kiyomi said in a rather harsh tone. Bloom stares at her in shock about why she would say that in Ashbourne but the crowd doesn't seem to mind at all. Some people were taking pictures of Kiyomi as it was quite rare for her to appear on the news and since they were simps.

"Now then, it's time for my dear little sweetheart to speak about it!" Kiyomi said, her tone returning to its sweet and lovable tone. The camera then turns to look at Lara. She was in a beautiful-looking pastel yellow dress.

"Well Miss Lara, do you have anything to say?" Ophicus asked.

"I...I uh...." Lara was hesitating to say something in front of a live feed camera that would upset her mother.

"Oh, dear! She's gone speechless! Well, I suppose she'll enjoy it!" Kiyomi said chirpily.

"Thank you for sharing, Miss Hagakara."

"Oh, please! Where are your manners?"

"Oh, right. Sorry. Arigato Kosaimasu, Miss Hagakara." Ophicus said. The screen cut back to Aku Iceshadow.

"Thank you, Ophicus Snakedream. Moving on from that topic, we have a large uprise in the small community of The SoulSaviours after what had happened to Emiliano Fuertes to the point where we-." Bloom looks away from the billboard and at Cory.

"Oh. Her mother is a famous model." Bloom said. Cory nods as more tears flow down his face. Uh, cheeks? I don't know. Just then, Bloom places his hand onto Cory's shoulder.

"Well, if we're gonna let a selfish woman take your girlfriend away, why not steal her heart and take back your relationship?" Bloom suggested with a confident smile on his face. Cory stares at him in shock before completely breaking down and hugging Bloom tightly.
