Chapter 51 - First step.

Maki's POV:

It's been two weeks without Kaito. Two weeks.

Ive been pushing to heal alone these past four days after my visit to Kaito, but I can't help but continue to see him.

The only way I can heal is if I try to move on with life even if he's not here right..? And so that means I shouldn't be visiting Kaito every day, but I just can't help myself!

Today marks two weeks of Kaito being in the hospital, I think today is the day I push extra harder to heal.

And I know just what to do, but I can't do it just yet, here at my dorm.

I have to wait about another hour until I can talk to Saihara about it-

...

Did Akamatsu and Saihara just enter the room?

I cracked open the door slightly to get a view of the two

Akamatsu looked heavily stressed, Saihara just looked super depressed and worried as usual these days.

Akamatsu was stomping her way to her room, not looking at Saihara. Saihara ran behind her, trying to talk to her.

"I'm sorry Kaede...I didn't want to do it again I swear-" Saihara attempted to explain

"Of course you didn't!" Akamatsu yelled to him at the verge of tears, turning to face him.

"These past two weeks I've- had to look after you and Harukawa constantly...I miss Momota too you know! If he was here....I wouldn't have to do this alone." Akamatsu cried, tears beginning to rapidly fall down from the edges of her eyes.

"I haven't had time to take care of myself...and no one has even tried to help me too! I hate having you worry about me but...don't I deserve to feel sad about Momota too?" Akamatsu thought out loud to Saihara

"All of this...it's just so hard to handle alone. Why can't you just stop it...please. It's all I ask for Shu..I just- Why did this all have to happen now?!" Akamatsu cried out, holding her arm

"I thought when we became official from now on every day would be the best days of my life. But these have been the worst. Momota is gone, both you and Harukawa are currently at your lowest. And I just have to pretend that everything is fine with me!" Akamatsu vented

"I'm sorry for yelling at you....I just- feel...so o-overwhelmed." Akamatsu sobbed

Saihara slowly walked closer to Akamatsu, putting his hands up.

Saihara held both of her arms tightly, he began crying too, "I'm so sorry Kaede...I had no idea...I feel so selfish for-"

"But you're not actually sorry huh? You said that l-last time. Can I-I just have some time alone please..? I-I don't know if I wanna talk to you right now.." Akamatsu looked away and pushed his hands away from her arms.

Saihara's eyes widened, he nodded and ran out of the room with tears spilling down his face

As soon as he closed the door and she locked it behind him, Akamatsu stood at the door before turning around and pressing her back to it as she slumped down.

"I just wish there was a way I-I could know he's going to truly try to heal..." Akamatsu cried still

"I feel so horrible for yelling at him, but in any case I just hope he begins to try.." Akamatsu trailed off as she wiped her tears away and jumped up

"I'm fine...it's fine." Akamatsu walked into her room and closed the door behind her

I really hope the two make up.
