Chapter 2
:Miya
"So Miya how did it go?" Ami asked excitedly over the phone.
"Horrible" I let out a groan. After managing to make it home just barley I'd been a sniveling mess my eyes hurt from the tears that didn't seem to stop and my nose rubbed raw from the snot that came from crying.
A part of me wanted to call Ren and beg for comfort, a constant pillar of protection in my life. One last bit of security I'd had was now ripped away from the sudden realization.
With Ayame in the picture I knew the bond we had wouldn't be the same. It would change everything, even if he wouldn't admit to it or acknowledge that it would I knew deep down.
"Horrible-dont tell me , did he say no?" She asked softly.
"Worse" I whispered. "Ami, there is a girl already" I buried my face into the pillow. "She even sounds pretty"
"But wait-he's always being so nice to you" she asked in confusion.
"I am just Miya" I let out pathetically.
"I dont get it-" she huffed. "With how he treats you, and acts with you"
"Thats what I thought. But it was all in my head I guess" rolling to my side I took a deep breath. "He thinks it Sasaki that I have a crush on. He wanted to guess. After he said someone else I couldn't even get the words out and just went along with it."
"Sasaki" she mused. "but he's so-serious"
"Apparently once you get to really know him he's not that bad" I answered mildly.
"Miyako" I jumped at the sound of my neighbor bellowing my name. "You have company"
"I gatta go someone is here" I hung up before she could say something and dragged myself out of bed and down the steps.
"I honestly dont mind the mistake because they are all so handsome" he gushed with a sigh. "Any single?"
I rolled my eyes. "They are my age Jun, I take it they hit the wrong number"
"Yup it was adorable how they got flustered." He fluffed his blonde wig and smirked.
"Go antagonize someone else" I waved him off and hit the button. " Its number 18" I let out.
A second went by and the number beeped signaling whoever it was had gained access to the building. I waited till there was a knock and mutters behind the door, opening it I blinked in surprise to find the group besides Ren.
"How did you-?" I stepped aside as they filed in.
"Sasaki remembered the way but we may have hit all the numbers..." Kaito admitted.
Blinking it registered a few times he'd been with Ren when he'd stop by to drop something off. So it wasn't to out of pocket he'd know where I lived.
" Anyway what are you guys doing here?" I lead them to the living room and plopped down.
"Well we wanted to see if you where okay" Ryu spoke up his green eyes ran over my face.
"Why wouldn't I be okay?" I let out smoothly almost to smooth causing Sasaki to snort and look away and Kaito huffed.
By now I'd hoped the red in my eyes was gone and my nose looked relatively normal. But that snort said it all. I probably looked like a mess.
"Look-we were as surprised and you must have been" Ryu stated like always taking the lead when Ren wasn't around.
