Thanks for the Memories

Unravelling

I didn't really leave the house for a day or two. I had lost track of time and since it was break, I had no reason to go outside. My phone beeped. It was a message from Makoto. I didn't even read it. But every 15 mintues, he sent me another one. I silenced my phone, I really didn't want to talk to him. I kept ignoring my phone until it started to vibrate constantly on my nightstand. I looked at it. Makoto was calling. I let it go to voicemail.

But when he called again, I knew he wouldn't let up, so I answered it. I brought the phone to my ear but I didn't say anything. He spoke, he sounded desperate, maybe he had been crying, "Sousuke... I've been trying to talk to you..."

"Yeah." I didn't pretend that I hadn't seen his messages, "I saw the messages but I don't want to talk to anyone right now."

Makoto hesitated, "Then do you know what happened?"

"Should I?" I said flatly.

"I almost thought you would. Haru..." Makoto took a breath, trying to be able to keep talking without crying, "We broke up."

"I'm sorry." I couldn't think of anything else to say. I never really thought their relationship would last as long as it had.

"I'm surprised you're not hurt," Makoto said. I didn't know what he meant.

"What?" I couldn't ask anything else. He seemed to be talking like I knew exactly what had happened, but I had just found out about the breakup.

Makoto explained it all, "Haru left me because Rin made him jealous. He said he realized that he wanted to be with Rin and not let anyone else be with Rin. He was jealous of you."

I had to fight my emotions to stay calm. "And now Haru and Rin are..."

I couldn't bring myself to finish the sentence but Makoto did for me. "Together."

"He knew didn't he?" I was talking more for myself, but I couldn't stop saying it out loud, "He knew that if he came over here and played a love scene with me that he'd make Haru jealous. And he knew the best way to get me to agree..."

"Sousuke?" Makoto sounded worried. There was also a hint of surprise, he had probably been thinking that I was in on the plan and not just a piece.

I cleared my throat, trying to hide my hurt. "Makoto, I have to go. I just really can't talk about this right now."
"Sousuke, I-" I didn't wait to hear the rest of what Makoto said. I hung up my phone and let it fall out of my hands. I couldn't describe the pain I was feeling. Rin had used me. He just wanted to make Haru jealous. That was probably why he said it was a mistake and that he was sorry. I really want him to feel sorry for what he did.
