6 ☾ We're now in this together

>KIRA'S POV<

This day just keeps getting more and more bonkers, I swear to fucking god. I think, looking at Satsuki with denial.

   But she had on a genuine terrified expression, a tone in the air that made my lungs tense up.

"You... how far are you in...?" I whisper, still taken aback by the whole situation.

"Barley one month. I... haven't even told him yet." Satsuki's eyes were dim and lifeless, tears slowly falling down her face.

"I... I'm so sorry..." Barely being able to speak, let alone being able to put myself in her position in my head, I just apologize and sympathize as best I can.

"It's okay. You didn't do anything wrong. I... should've been better." She starts to sob, the whole situation probably crashing down onto her.

"..." Absolutely clueless on what to say, I do the only other thing I'm good at, an embrace. I hold my arms out and she takes them, hugging tightly while wailing.

All I can do is be there for her now.

I barely even know Satsuki, just met even, but all I know is... I'm not going to let her suffer like I did.

I won't let anyone in my grasp experience that, not ever.

．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．

After a few long minutes of crying, she scoots back and looks at me, forcing a smile.

"Thank you... uhm... I just realized I don't know your name..." She rubs her eyes gently, cursing softly under her breath.

"My name is Kira, and you're Satsuki?"

"Yes... sorry..." She sniffs her nose.

   "No it's okay! Well, this whole thing isn't, but you not knowing my name was okay." I stumble on my words.

   "Hehe... yeah." After hearing her chuckle, I smile too, but it immediately morphs back into a frown.

   "So... what now?"

   "..." Satsuki looks down at her stomach, thinking deeply, "Well. I'm going to have to tell my parents at some point. And then Marius will find ou- Or maybe I should tell him first? I don't know..."

   "Hey, it's okay. We have time. We just need to think carefully here... something... I'm not very good at doing... ehe..." I rub the back of my head gently, ashamed.

   "I bet that's not true." She frowns.

   "It is, I'm not the smartest when it comes to... anything really... oh, besides tennis. See, I'm good at that." I giggle, and so does she.

"Hmm... well do you know anyone who may be able to help? Maybe some extra support? I... know it's ultimately my decision... but I feel like I need some people to back me up."

"I get that! ... Erm... uhhh... it's literally my second day in Faraway I got nobody." I wince, and Satsuki gasps jokingly.

"I thought you were from here! That explains why I didn't recognize you though."

Relaxing my shoulders due to the playful tone instead of the tense one, I ponder the question even more.

Someone... who could... kind...

"OH!! I got it!! There's this blond girl that showed me around the school! She's seemed really sweet, maybe she can back us up."

"That could work... also thank you, Kira. You don't have to do this, yet you still wanna help." She beams, the first time I've seen her genuinely smile.

"Hehe... what can I say? I'm just that amazing." I stand up, proudly putting my hands on my hips.

Satsuki wobbles to her feet, holding her abdomen,

"Yes, you are."

．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．

After exchanging numbers and me helping her walk home, we realized something we probably should've earlier.

"WE LIVE NEXT TO EACH OTHER?!?!" I shout, the whole neighborhood probably hearing me.

"Huh. That's convenient." She turns towards me, "I knew there was new neighbors, but I didn't know it was you."

"That just makes it easier! ... Remember what we talked about, okay? Avoid, and if so, attack and seek help, call me or the police, okay? Fuck his pathetic little feelings." I point to the house, and Satsuki nods.

"I will, thanks again, Kira."

"No problem! Be safe!! Also remember that tomorrow during lunch, meet me in the courtyard so we can find this girl, okay?"

"Okay!"

We wave goodbye at each other, going our separate ways.

I walk next door to my house, going upstairs and into my bedroom.

Haylee doesn't seem to be back yet... weird...

I try to push any anxiety I had about my sister and Satsuki, laying down in bed and closing my eyes until a thought pops into my head.

Fuck... I was supposed to kill myself today.

I totally forgot, with everything going on.

... welp. There's always next time I suppose.

A/n: Kira is so me omg
