Same day...

Location - (L/N) Residence

Mutsumi's POV

"Ever since... you moved back?" I asked, trying to process what (Y/N) just said.

"Yeah, and to be honest, it's something I do my best to not think about." He replied.

"I see."

I gently placed my hand on his shoulder, and before I knew it, I could see tears of sadness in his eyes. He must be suffering that much.

After a few seconds, he wiped away the tears from his eyes, and looked towards me.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to cry in front of you like that." He apologized and chuckled nervously. However, I lightly shook my head from his apology.

"It's fine, but... don't you want to talk about it?" I asked.

"I don't know who to talk about this with." He replied.

"Then... why not me?" I asked as I give him a shy and small smile.

He looked at me.

"Are you sure you want to know?"

I nodded.

"Yes. I know we don't know each other very well, but I want to know what made you suffer to begin with." I said, getting a little serious, and I wasn't going to take no for an answer.

"Well, okay then..."

As painful as it was for him, (Y/N) took a deep breath and began to share his story.

Flashback...

Location - Junior High School Hallway

Your POV

If you recall at the start of the story, I mentioned before on how badly things went downhill for me before I changed towns. Well, I figured I should go into a little more detail about that, so you can get a good idea.

Before things went wrong for me, I would say that life has been treating me good. Both my mother and father loved me a lot, I had a lot of friends, and what I didn't mention before, a girlfriend that was kind and caring.

However, it wasn't until today that I noticed that everything began to change, like not seeing my parents first thing in the morning. I know they're always away on a business trip, but this was supposed to be the day that they come home. I just hope everything is okay.

And when I got to school today, that's when I noticed something else that was different. I approached my friends, and they looked at me like they all an alien.

"Guys, is everything okay?" I asked.

"I'm sorry, (Y/N), but we decided to not make you apart of our group." One friend said.

"What?! Why?!"

"It's just that... you're not that fun to be around with anymore." Another friend said.

Hearing this made me see red, and I just exploded.

"DO YOU ALL HEAR YOURSELVES?! WE'VE BEEN FRIENDS FOR YEARS, AND YOU'RE JUST GOING TO GET RID OF ME, JUST LIKE THAT?!"

"(Y/N)... please calm down-"

"SAVE IT! JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"

I didn't want to hear anything they had to say, so I just walked away.

With my friends out of the picture, the only person I can go to now is my girlfriend. I went around the school, hoping to tell her, but when I did, my jaw dropped to the ground by what I was looking at.

There was my girlfriend... kissing another guy.

"Aki?!"

She looked at me and gasped.

"(Y/N)? What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I was hoping to find you until I see you with this man who looks like he's went to jail!" I said.

"Yeah, isn't he amazing?!" 

"Amazing?! What about us?!" 

"Look, (Y/N), you can be nice to me as much as you want, but... you'll be as bad as this guy." 

The guy looked at me like he has won this battle, but I was just done with everything in this school. I began to walk away, but not without saying... 

"I hope your loser boyfriend goes back to jail..."

After school...

Location - (L/N) Residence, Living Room

First my friends pushed me away, and then my girlfriend cheats on me with a guy whose been to jail... I just want to disappear and never be seen again.

Oh well, at least I'm back home, and I can isolate myself from everyone for a while. Once I got back to my house, my jaw dropped by what I saw... the fire department was at my house. It got caught on fire, and they were doing their best to put out the fire.

"My house!"

I rushed over just to see what was going on, and when I firefighter saw me, they put two and two together.

"I take it you lived in this house?" They asked.

"Yeah, what happened?" I asked.

"We're not sure, but it's most likely that someone set it on fire."

"Oh..."

First my friends, then my girlfriend and now my home? What else can go wrong here?

A few days later...

Location - The Park

After losing my house, I went into a state of depression. I spent the last few nights sleeping on a park bench. I was so upset that I didn't even try going to school. What would be the point in going anyway?

One day as I woke up, I spotted a newspaper nearby. I went to go read it and saw something that changed my life for good. In the newspaper was an article talking about how plane crash while entering Japan.

They had the names of the people who were on that plane, and two of those names were...

"Mom... Dad..."

That was it. I don't have anything anymore. My life... was officially over.
