Ruikasa - Theater Kids to Boyfriends?

Conflict

 We had an issue.

"I was told you were cheating on me. Is this true?!" Rui yelled, tears forming in both of our eyes.

"No! Why would I ever cheat on you, Rui? I love you!" I cried as I realized that my biggest fear was coming true.

"I doubt that." He sighed. "You know what, if I'm not good enough for your ass, then I'm leaving!" He marched out the door.

I sat on the Tenma couch and cried. This wasn't fair. Who told him that anyway? I loved him! I was a virgin too.

Saki ran down at the sounds of sobbing. "Onii-chan! What happened?" She asked.

"Rui dumped me." I said, still crying. "Someone falsely accused me of cheating on him!"

My sister sat in a worried silence before speaking. "Don't give up. Show the world who's boss!"

I smiled for the first time that day.

Of course we had a show to perform! How would I be a star when distressed? After all, acting requires a positive mindset... something I didn't have.

I longed to say 'I love you' one more time.

"Tsukasa! Hi!" Emu waved. Nene waved too, but Rui just rolled his eyes. It was heartbreaking.

"Hey." I said with a sigh.

"Why so deflated? I know what to do! Say Wonderhoi!"

"Wonderhoy..." I stared at the floor. Being a star was hard.

"It's time for the show. Emu, Nene, do your best!" Rui spoke. They ran off, leaving us alone. He left soon after, simply giving me the middle finger. I wanted to cry.

As we were packing up our materials, I decided to reach out. "Rui."

I grabbed his arm, which wasn't well received. "Get the hell off of me."

"Okay." I grabbed my bags and ran off. I looked back, and there was zero remorse in his eyes.

The walk back was long, tiring, and full of tears. How one simple lie could ruin so much was beyond me. It hurt to walk, hurt to breathe; why was life so hard? It wasn't fair. I thought that something good finally happened when he returned my feelings, but all good things come to an end. Now, I'm left with a broken heart and shattered emotions. I was walking a deserted road, with nothing but me and my thoughts. There was no way I could go home. Just doing that reminded me of my past fiancé.

There was zero hope. Nothing good would ever happen, and I thought we were lucky, but now our story is just a tragedy. It used to be so amazing to think of Rui, but now it just hurt.

I didn't belong at home, or here. There was no use being anywhere. I just wanted to curl up and turn invisible, but the laws of the universe prevented that.

Now what would I do? I had no clue.
