Complicated ~ Nekoma

Chapter Sixty-Eight

"Y/n!" you could hear Kayo calling out to you as she ran after you. 

You really should have ran to get away from school because you really didn't want to see anyone right now. You were already crying and you couldn't possibly hold a conversation in this moment. All you wanted to do was go home and sob all night. You had just lost your first ever love you figured you at least deserved some time alone.

You attempted to ignore the girls call and keep walking, pretending as if you didn't hear her. You loved Kayo and wanted more than anything to fix your relationship with her. But not right now. Right now you couldn't talk to anyone without fully breaking down. 

"Y/n wait." Kayo called again, this time a lot closer as she continued to run. You considered also running off and pretending you were going to miss your train. But she would see right through that obviously.

"Stop y/n." Kayo said, taking a hold of your arm to finally pull you to a stop.

"Not right now Kayo." you said in a firm voice, refusing to look over at the girl.

"It has to be right now." Kayo insisted. This was the most she had spoken to you since everything that happened and she was no longer speaking in a mumbled whisper but her voice sounded a lot more like herself.

"What is it?" you said, finally looking over at her even though it was the last thing you wanted to do.

Her eyes widened when she saw her face. She gently touched your cheek to wipe the tears that were stuck to your cheek. But you only started crying more from that action. 

"Oh y/n." she whispered as she pulled you into a hug where she had both hands holding the back of your head. "I'm afraid I've been thinking about only myself and not you these past few days."

"I'm not mad at you." you whispered. Truthfully you had never been mad at her. The only thing that you were mad about was the fact that Yaku just had to be her brother. 

"Well I am." she said. You pulled away from her embrace to study her expression. "I heard you and Mori talking. I guess up till now I was making this whole thing about me and playing the victim, but it's not about me at all. I didn't even consider how you and Mori felt about the whole thing. Y/n you guys are in love - love." she said, smiling at that last part. 

You didn't know how to respond to her. You had been in love but you already ripped your heart out. You couldn't stand here and talk about Yaku and pretend you were okay.

"I don't ever want you to give up something like that for me." she said as she cupped your face and made direct eye contact with you. "You really deserve this y/n. And even though you are way out of his league, Mori deserves this too." 

You let out a small laugh at her teasing her brother. It was one of those laughs where you are still crying but it still felt good to let out. You could feel yourself regaining hope again. Maybe things were going to work out for you.

"Are you okay with this?" you asked. If you and Yaku were going to be doing this all over again you wanted to make sure you did it right.

Kayo nodded. "I'm happy if you are happy." she then grinned. "Besides I realized I was thinking about it wrong. If you're going out with my brother then doesn't that practically make us sisters? It doesn't get closer than that."

You smiled but couldn't speak so instead wrapped your arms around the girl in a tight hug. 

"I'm so sorry for the way I've treated you. You really are one of the most important people in my life and I love you so much. Please forgive me for that." she whispered as she held onto you.
