Comfort and Discomfort

"I don't know what I did, let alone if I even did it!" Natsuki sniffled into Yuri's arms. She started crying and Yuri ran her hands through her hair and made shushing noises. Natsuki felt safe around Yuri, since she's known her for a long time. They purposely went to the same academy just to see each other.
"Oh Yuri, what do I do..." She mumbled, hugging Yuri more tightly but a comfortable tight.
"If she let you go that easily, was it worth it?"
Natsuki ponders and finally puts her head up and looks straight into Yuri's eyes. They were so close, and Natsuki was laying on Yuri's lap. They started blushing heavily, and Yuri was slowly about to lean in before Natsuki chirped, "Your right. It's just, gosh. Baking means so much to me." Natsuki put her face in her palms and started sighing slowly.
"You can come round and bake at mine whenever you'd like. My mom practically sees you as her child."
Which was weird for Yuri to say, considering the fact she liked Natsuki.
"Really? Yuri I love you so much! Thank you!" She held Yuri tighter and laid on her chest and Yuri smiled. It was concerning how light Natsuki was, and when Natsuki was rolling off her skirt moved up the slightest and Yuri saw a big purple bruise. Yuri sat up and looked at Natsuki with worry.
"Whats on your thigh."
Natsukis smile faded and she pulled down her skirt. "Oh this? I fell down." She smiled. Yuri exhaled loudly and laid her hand on Natsukis. "He did this to you, didnt he."
Natsuki froze up and stared down at Yuris arm and pulled away. "He didn't, I fell."
"Natsuki don't start this bull sh!t with me, tell me the truth or I'll look at it myself."

"Fvck off Yuri." Natsuki started tearing up, pulled down her skirt to stand up and started waking away. She turned around and cried, "Can't you just leave it! It's just a bruise..!" She looked at Yuri desperately and turned of and walked away, despite Yuris callings.

*NEXT WEEK, CLUB MEETING- SAYORI POV*
I run up behind MC and scare him. "Boo!" I yell out and he sarcastically cries out and we both start laughing. We sit next together in club, and he lays his hand on my wrist. I pull away and play it off. We talk about our favourite mangas and foods, and I'm safe to say we both like Ramen!
"Spicy or normal?" I ask, rocking slightly.
"Spicy all the way, I like the challenge." He chuckles, and he brushes his smooth hair out of his face and i see his luxurious eyes. I immediately go read, and we have a battle about how we like our ramen made. Mid-way, the door slams. Monika comes rushing with a ponytail and a bow. My heart drops, and as I see him try to stand up I quickly unbutton my blazer and tap him.
"What about deserts..?~" I say seductively, and he goes red and he just laughs. I feel foolish and he gives a bland answer and walks off to Monika.

My eyes started to water and I quickly rub my eyes. What does Monika have that I don't..
My mind flickers to the moment when I saw Monika coming out his house and a lump forms in my throat and I feel tired. My head keeps telling me to do it. I start breathing too quickly and I feel sick now. Just do it. You've embarrassed yourself, Sayori.
You did it again.
Embarrassing yourself
Would he ever love you?
Or will you die trying to gain his love?

I gasp for air as I realise how unlike my thoughts that was. Die? I quickly rush to the bathroom, so desperate for the adrenaline rush. Maybe I'd gain so much confidence he'd see something in me, just for this small moment and then he would have the opinion forever!
I rampage through my pockets and hold my blade.

"If you ever feel like, doing it. Come to me Sayori. I want to help you."

Monika? I feel my heart shake with pain, then I stare at my blood filled palm. Crap, I held it to hard. The blood pours everywhere and I start stammering my gasps. All the red makes my eyesight hazy  and the lack of blood makes me feel dizzy.  I fall to the ground and I try to keep the blood as far away from my uniform as possible. Even the slightest drop could give it all away.
I'm so sorry Monika..I couldn't tell you. I thought you...
You...
A sharp, stinging cramped my entire body and I feel pain searing through my veins. I feel the energy, though, and I start breathing really quickly. I can feel a smile grow, and I stand up easily. Unusual. I go to the tap and wash of the blood so simply its scary I stare the the mirror, and see myself.

Confident, fearless, happy.

I exhale and place a long bandage on my palm. I'll get it checked out. I say. I never will though. I hear bangs on the door and I quickly turn to the door. Shit, the blood on the floor. I start pacing up and down in my mind and I just stare infront of me.
"Sayori? Are you in there?" MC calls out. Shit, it's MC! I stammer my words, but manage to get out,
"Yeah! I'll h-hurry up!!"

Everything goes silent until he says "Are you..ok? You seem worried." Oh fuck.
"I'm fine! I'm just washing my hands." I flick on the tap and I get bundles of tissue wrapped and start wiping the floor. "Hang on, sorry!" I laugh, but the atmosphere feels too dark  to laugh.

"Sayori, can you come out...I don't think your fine." He mumbled.
"MC I AM FINE!" I yell out, and then I gasp. "Wait, n-no I'm sorry." And then he walks off. I feel my eyes tearing up as I'm surrounded by my own blood. I wipe ghe floor quickly as tears fall on the floor too. Once it's clean, I can still see the translucent peachy pink stains of the blood residue. I sigh and I wash my hands properly.

Out of anger I throw my blade in the bin and barge the door open.

MC is talking with Monika, he turns to me, and turns back to her. I bow my head as tears run down my face. I can feel Monikas evil grin and I just wanted to grab her neck and...
And..
I stop.
I feel so guilty..how could I ever think about doing that doing that her!? I stare up tears streaming down my red face and I storm out the club. MC calls out to me and I keep walking. I slam the door shut and stand by the road side. The cars zoom past and swish my hair to the side, my tears following the wind.

"Sayori, are you okay?!" He rushes to me, holding my hand. I stare up to him and sigh, looking back down.
"I'm sorry, its just..." I stop, realising I shouldn't be so forward to somebody who's bound to replace me, tell everyone and...
"It's just?"
"I don't know, MC." Tears keep falling out my eyes and I feel so pathetic. Where was the confident, smiling Sayori in the bathroom?! I needed her right now.
I fell onto him and he embraced me with his arms. "Sayori it's okay! I'll be here for you, okay?"

I feel so comforted I start blushing so vividly. When we break the hug, he's blushing too. We both laugh and stare back at each other. I feelmlike we were gonna kiss, but the plaster felt so uncomfortable I just had to scratch it. Even after, I had the uncomfortable feeing of being watched....
