Tied between

Chapter 2

Y/N POV-

     I walked up the hill, through the forest until I spotted Karma. I walked over and sat next to him under a tree. "So now he can just do anything to you?" Karma asks while putting an arm around me. "You're taking it out of context." I leaned into him and yawned. "Tired Doll?" He turned himself to face me. "Yeah.." Karma stood up and held out his hand. I took it as we walked back down the hill, through the forest. 

     We walked into the school building to grab my things. I opened my locker to remember that Asano had my bag. Shit shit shit! Karma already thinks that he likes me. "Karma.." I looked nervously up at him. "What? What is it?" He looked in my locker and noticed there was no bag there. "I think Asano has it..." He looked at me in annoyance. "Let's go get it." He said as he closed my locker and put his arm around my waist. We walked to the student council office and I knocked on the door. Asano opened it. "Missing something darling?" He teased. Karma glared at him and pulled me closer when he heard him call me darling. I moved Karmas hand back up to my waist as he moved it to my hip. Asano handed me my bag. "Thanks" Karma turns us around and leads us to the doors as he takes my bag. "What was that?" He asked, letting go of me to take my bag. "What was what?" What is he talking about? "Darling?" I quickly looked away as he spoke again. "What's up with him calling you that?" I don't know why I suddenly got nervous, but I did. "I-I don't know.." Why am I stuttering? As I looked back at him, he continued walking so I quickly caught up to him. "You're staying at my house tonight." I smiled and nodded in response. His home was basically mine. His parents loved me and treated me like their own child. 

     We arrived at Karmas home and opened the door to be met with an empty house. "Looks like no one's home." He said as he walked in and put our bags down. I sat down on the couch and checked my phone to see my mother had texted me.

Mother: Y/n, when will you be home? Your father and I have something to tell you.

Y/n: I'm staying at a friends house tonight. Can you tell me over the phone?

Mother: I suppose so. Mr. Asano and your father had made an agreement to form a partnership.

Y/n: That's great for dad, but how does this have to do with me?

Mother: We all agreed as soon as you graduate, you and Gakushu will marry.

     I threw my phone across the room as I read this. Karma rushed over to me as tears started welling up in my eyes. "Doll? What happened?" He put his arms around me and held me close. I cried into his chest as he comforted me. I slowly pointed to my phone that I had thrown across the room. He got up and grabbed my phone, sitting back down. I nuzzled my head into his chest as he read the message. "N-no.." He whispered as he read the message over and over, trying to read something that wasn't what it actually said. He put my phone down and held me close against him. We heard my phone ding so I lifted my head from his chest and picked it up to see another notification from my mother.

Mother: I think this will be a great thing for you. Gakushu is a very handsome, intelligent young boy. He will do great things for our company in the future.

Y/n: When was this decided?

Mother: Just a couple hours ago.

Y/n: Is this really necessary?

Mother: Y/n do not be selfish. You are doing this for the good of our company.

     I suddenly couldn't breathe and felt light headed. My breathing sped up as I read the last message.

KARMA POV-

     I took the phone out of her hand when I noticed her breathing change. I leaned up and held her arms. "Y/n it's going to be alright." She started trembling as I hugged her tightly. "It's alright, I'm here. No one will hurt you" Her breathing went back to normal as she leaned against me, crying. That was close, she almost had a panic attack and that would have resulted in her trying to hurt herself. When Y/n has panic attacks, the only thing she does to stop them is cut herself. I promised her I would protect her. I leaned back and she fell asleep on my chest. I played with her hair before I heard the door open. "We're home!" My mom yelled so I shushed her. "She's sleeping!" I whispered. "Right right! Go take her to your room where there's a bed." She whispered back as she walked into the kitchen. I slowly leaned up and picked her up.
I carried her upstairs, into my room. I put her on the bed before closing the door and sitting next to her. I played with her hair as I thought about the text message her mother sent. I pulled out her phone when I heard a notification. Asano texted her? Why does she have his number? Questions were running through my mind as I opened the message.

Asano: I would be annoyed I have to marry some rich girl. But I don't mind marrying a cute, intelligent girl like you. Maybe a little aggressive but I can fix that.

     Y/n woke up to me staring wide eyed, angrily at her phone. She was still half asleep. "Karma? Did someone text me?" She leaned up. "Don't worry about it right now Doll. She lazily put her arms out for a hug. I pulled her closer to me and kissed her softly. She must have forgot what just happened, for she was giggling and clinging to me. She tried grabbing her bag without leaving the bed, when she got it she struggled get back on. "Homework's for losers.." I pulled her back onto the bed and hugged her from behind. "Yea yea" she pulled out her notes and started. I zoned out thinking about Asano's message. Does he even know we're dating? Does he seriously think he can take her from me? A couple hours go by and
Y/n finished. "What time is it?" She leaned back against me. "10:43" She panicked, not realizing how late it was before. "Relax, it's Friday." She let out a sigh in relief and turned her head to look at me. She kissed me on the cheek before I picked her up and started to carry her downstairs. "W-what are you doing?" She questioned as I carried her downstairs bridal style. "When was the last time you ate?" She went silent, avoiding looking at me. 

     I put her down on the counter and looked in the fridge. I got her some food. "Eat" She hesitantly ate it, not looking at me. When she finished, I kissed her softly. "Doll, when was the last time you ate?" She looked down. "Yesterday.. when you made me eat at lunch." I picked her up again and brought her back to my bed. I cuddled her close and fell asleep shortly after her.
