Trials and Hardships (Kyoya Ootori OHSHC) (Not Finished)

Engaged.

Nami's P.O.V.

I feel myself alone in the darkness again only protected by the mere reflection of the moon, bold and peaceful unlike myself.

Why did it pain me when he made an excuse to retreat? I was supposed to despise the bespectacled boy for all he said that one rainy night.

I remembered all of it so vividly, each word tearing my purity and happiness. The scene began to play itself in my mind like a broken record I couldn't stop.

"Why can't you do anything right?!" he growled at me, Grey eyes shooting daggers into my soul.

"You actually suppose that our family's disagreement is because of me?! Do you suppose I told lies to give each company a dose of hatred?! Why would I do something as absurd as to sabotage our companies triggers to test when they snap! Your my friend Ootori, maybe even more! Why would I do something like that! Answer, give me a good reason!" I felt myself yelling at him and I couldn't force myself to stop.

"Please, did you actually think that we'd be Wed? Our families would never go through with something of the sort! You should know better...the Estates are set on statistics, not bringing Estates together as one. Our Estates don't actually care about each other! It's all for business rights and peace between Estates throughout. We would be Wed if it meant fortune or fame and nothing more."

I feel myself practically gape at his words. What was he trying to make through to me? The statistics and money were more important than his own friend?

"Are you trying to say our friendship is statistics and an act?!"

I despised how calm he appeared with those glasses hiding his eyes. Otherwise I'd be able to find an emotion.

"Well.. our Estates growth and money is more important than a friendship wouldn't you agree?"

I stood there, frozen in shock. Eyes wide and filled to the brim with tears. All this time he was thinking of it as a cover up? All those times he said he wouldn't dream of losing me or helping the homeless, it was all an act? To build reputation and grow the family name.

"What has gotten into you?! This is not the Kyoya this town and I know! Hasn't it occurred to you that maybe I wasn't acting?!" I tried hard not to cry, pushing the lump down in my throat and stood tall, only to feel myself shake and lip quiver.

"I haven't changed merely change my standards, realize that I have much more important matters to attend to.."

I was taken over by a sudden urge to slap him but knew that happened enough with his father. I just wanted to wake and notice this was
all one nightmare.

"Why did I ever fall for you?! Your a selfish, greedy bastard who has no remorse or actual kindness! All you care for is money and showing you're father that you are worthy of taking over the Estate. All those times I prayed with you that he'd notice how hard working and kind you are made me realize that you would throw Japan into debt by finding ways to get money from other Estates to grow superior! You'd forget about the peace within Companies and ruin the whole business world of Japan!"

Once I stopped speaking I felt relief, those words were pent inside me since the fight began. I searched for a reaction. A glare, sigh anything! He was like stone, didn't even faultier at my words. Instead, he smirked and began to laugh. That piercing laugh that I loved but shook in fear at whenever it chimed out. Like a sympathy for the Devil.

"Oh, and I expect you believed that your family would pass down the Estate to you? Welcome to reality, once your parents retire that Estate is going down with them. That lovely little company so well known will slowly perish due to the fact that their daughter wasn't worthy enough to carry out it's name...It's quite the shame...isn't it?"
