Life After War ( CoAi)

Chapter 11

Conan and Ai arrived at school the next day, a sense of nervousness hanging in the air. They knew that the news of their relationship had spread like wildfire, and they were prepared for the reactions they would receive.

As they walked through the school gates, they were greeted by a sea of whispers and stares. It was clear that everyone knew about their relationship, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of discomfort.

But despite the attention they were receiving, Conan and Ai held their heads high, determined to face whatever came their way. They had made their decision, and they were ready to stand by it, no matter what anyone else thought.

As they walked through the corridors, they were relieved to see that most of their classmates seemed to accept their relationship. There were a few whispers and stares, but overall, they were greeted with mostly positive reactions.

But as they entered their classroom, they were shocked to see that Ayumi wasn't there. They had expected her to be upset about their relationship, but they had no idea that she would take such drastic action.

Conan and Ai couldn't help but feel a sense of worry as they took their seats, wondering where Ayumi was and if she was okay. They knew that they had to find a way to make things right with her, and they were determined to do whatever it took to win her back as a friend.

Ai couldn't take it anymore. She had tried her best to ignore the whispers and the stares, but the constant gossip about her and Conan was starting to weigh on her. She had never expected their relationship to cause so much drama, and she wasn't sure if she was strong enough to handle it.

As they walked to school together, she couldn't help but bring up the elephant in the room. "Conan, we need to talk," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Conan's heart skipped a beat at the serious tone of her voice. He knew that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over him. "What is it?" he asked, a worried look on his face.

Ai took a deep breath, gathering her courage. "I can't do this anymore," she said, her voice shaking. "I love you, Conan, but I can't handle all of this drama. It's too much for me, and I don't know if I'm strong enough to deal with it."

Conan's heart felt like it was breaking as he listened to Ai's words. He had never wanted to cause her any pain, and the thought of losing her was unbearable. "Ai, please," he pleaded. "I'll do anything to make things right. Just don't give up on us."

Ai shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "I'm sorry, Conan," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "But I think it's best if we break up. It's for the best."

Conan's heart felt like it was being torn in two as he watched Ai walk away from him, and he knew that he had to do something to fix things. He had to find a way to show her that he loved her, and that he would do anything to make her happy.

Conan couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Break up?" he repeated, a hurt look on his face. "Ai, why would you even say that? I love you more than anything in this world."

Ai's heart ached at the sight of Conan's pain, but she knew that she had to be strong. "I know you do," she said. "And I love you too. But we can't ignore the fact that our relationship is causing problems for our friends. Ayumi is heartbroken because she has feelings for you, and I can't keep pretending like everything is okay when it's not."

Conan's heart sank as he realized the truth in Ai's words. He knew that she was right, and he couldn't deny the fact that their relationship was causing problems for those around them.

"I understand," he said, his voice heavy with sadness. "I'll do whatever it takes to make things right. I don't want to lose you, but I also don't want to hurt anyone else."
