Different Shades of Pink and Green/ matchablossom 🍵🌸

Alone.

Author's note: I am very sorry guys for not posting sooner! Someone very special to me died and it was a shock. I been lacking motivation and it was troubling me. I was anxious for not being able to write but hopefully now I am better and back on track. Plus, I been recently promoted at my work which also affected me to continue. Hopefully, things get better, and I can get back to my so-called normal life. Love you all and hope you all understand!

The crowd started to fade away
Fear was getting in my way
I wanted to run away with you
But I couldn't keep up with you

Cherry's pov:

Even though we shared the same air, the same place and the same ground, he felt so far away. Ko left me and I had no rights to ask him to come back. I put myself in this mess and I had to fight back as much as I could. I might have been weak in the past but now it was different... I was ready to stop Adam once and for all. It was my turn to protect Kojiro and the others from this mad man.

"So, it seems you made the right choice by staying here" Adam said as he got closer to me, with his usual disgusting smirk.

"What do you want Adam?" I asked.

"I see, straight to the point"

He wasn't wrong. Before I would have tried everything to avoid talking to him, let along look at him in the eyes. But I was done being a coward and I wanted to stand up for myself. I felt like repaying Ko for all he did to me in the past month and years.

"Spit it out Adam!" my tone got louder and firmer.

"Remember our secret... well I want you to repay me for all the years I kept it hidden" he suggested with no hesitations.

"And how?"

"Easy. First I want you to drop out of 'S' and never skateboard again."

"WHAT!"

"That's not all..." he said, interrupting me.

I swallowed my breath and look at his eyes again. I didn't want to show him any weakness. I might have reacted the way he wanted but I was ready to face the consequences of the dumb choices I made. One of them was EVER trusting this man. "What else..." I muttered.

"I need you to officially break up with Joe for good, here and now. Then..."

"WHY WOULD I DO THAT?!" I yelled.

"Now now... calm down princess..." he looked to where Kojiro was standing, smiling. "After that, kiss me in front of him"

"ARE YOU INSANE?! NO..."

"If you don't then your secret will be out. Joe will not be the only one to know about how your little hole..."

"OKAY OKAY! Shut up! I get it!"

"Maybe I should remind you one more time of how you used to spread your legs to every man who talked to you" he laughed before getting closer to my ear "it was the best hole I have ever tried" he whispered. I shivered and buried my nails in the palm of my hands. It definitely left a mark. 

"It was because you..." I felt tears forming in my eyes. I wanted to cry. I wanted to yell and make a scene. I wanted to punch Adam and break everything he held dear to him.

"Don't come blaming me princess. No one would ever believe a slut like you"

I took a breath before looking to my side. My light, my everything was about to get his heart broken. It killed to do it, but I had to, for his sake. How would people look at him when they know he was friends with a slut like me. What if they find out we were dating... what would happen to his reputation? To his career? I was so scared. My body was trembling. I knew this day was about to come. I tried to stop myself from thinking about it or even imagining it happen. But even if it wasn't because of this situation, I would have eventually broken up with him. I knew he would be hurt, and he would even cry... I was ready to be a monster in his eyes.

After few days, he would have went back to the way he was, flirting with every girl he knew. Maybe he would even find someone suited for him. Someone gorgeous and beautiful. Strong and smart. I was not them. I was selfish to ask him to stay with me forever, for me to stay with him for this long. But I wanted my first and last love to come real even for a moment.

I love you, Ko.
Please don't hate me.

Adam's pov:

I needed to break him. I been saying this repeatedly, but it wasn't enough. Having this disaster projected in front of everyone at 'S' was the cherry on top. He tried to look strong and confident, but I could feel the fear surrounding him. The idea of being away of Joe was already heartbreaking. I knew better than anyone that he just wanted to run back to him, hugging tight and never letting him go but that was not the scenario that was about to happen. He was about to go to him and rip his heart out.

"So, what will it be Cherry?" I said, smiling.

"Why are you doing this? I will quick skateboarding and I will even break my bones if that is what you want but what do you..."

"You think I am dumb Cherry? Joe is the only reason for you to continue living... how will I be satisfied and see you break piece by piece if I don't take away your only source of happiness? Huh?" I interrupted.

"BUT WHY? What did I do to make you hate me this much? All I ever did was care..."

"Care you say? What is caring? Loving? Don't give me that bullshit! You know you never cared about me or loved me. You were amazed by my skills; you were around me because I gave you something. You didn't want my love; you didn't want my friendship. Even after helping you out..."

"You... you... you DISTROYED ME!" he yelled, making the people close to us turn around. Their eyes were so intense that it made my heartbeat with passion. I loved this scene. Everything was perfect.

"Now, now princess, your lover over there is looking... what will it be: kiss me first or break his heart? Either way, I will be happy." I laughed underneath my breath feeling overjoyed.

"ADAM... I-I..." Tears were escaping but he made sure to hide his face from me. Even if we were friend for a short time, I knew better than anyone how to break him. His only mistake was to ever trust me and open his heart to me.

"Go on princess. Don't worry after this, I will take care of my little flower. I will shower you with the love you need. We both know that all you ever needed was to be around someone. It was never about Joe..."

"FINE! SHUT UP! I will go to him, but you are wrong. It was always about Joe. I loved him, even if I betrayed him and hurt him. I promised I will protect him. I still love him, and I will never stop loving him. He is nothing compared to you! You are a monster!" He took the last confidence he had in him, looked me in my eyes before turning away to where Joe was standing.

Joe's pov:

Minutes passed by but it felt like hours. I was getting impatient. All I could hear was Kaoru yelling and screaming every time he talked to Adam. His voice was breaking slowly, and I knew he needed me more than anything, but I couldn't go to them. He was very clear with who he was going to side with. I knew Adam was not an easy target, but it still pissed me off knowing that I couldn't do more.

Our eyes finally met, and he was crying. All I wanted to do was to run toward Adam and beat his face until there was nothing to see. I wanted to make disappear for good. But before I could move a step forward, Cherry smiled. He was in so much pain, but he still didn't want to worry me. "Baby..." I whispered and Kaoru started walking toward me. I knew this wasn't going to be pretty and I knew our little love story was about to shatter.

I love you, Kaoru.
Forever.
I will not let anything break us apart.
I promise.
