It all started with a pair of goggles...

Chapter 9

YOUR POV

It happend all so fast. I never saw it coming. Me and Haru was on another date. We had went on about three to four now. All we ever did was hold hands and say "I love you"s. 

---

"I need to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back!" I stood from our booth and smiled at Haru as he said "Okay," I then went to the bathroom. When I finished, I walked back out. But something was wrong. So, so wrong.

Time stopped. All I could see was Haru and Makoto, kissing. 

"It was all a lie... I should have known!" tears stung my eyes as I turned and ran out of the cafe.

---

I ran as fast as I could. Soon, I fell down due to my legs feeling weak. I was next to a river, which was running slowly. Calmly. There, I cried. 

"He lied to me... If he had loved me, why would he kiss Makoto...? Why?!WHY?!" I sobbed, hugging my knees, resting my head on them as I cried. 

I stayed there, like that, for hours. When I was all cried out and the moon was high, I took out my phone. Three in the morning. 

I stood slowly, then walked to a nearby park, where I slept. I couldn't bring myself to see Haruka.

---

The next morning, I went back to the cafe. And Haru was there. When he saw me, He stood.

"(Y/N)! Oh god, where have you been?! I've been looking for you..."

I walked past him, not spearing a second glance. I knew. If I looked at him, I would cry what little I may have left. I walked up to the stage that was in the cafe, and wrote down the song I would sing.

The music started.

"I sit by myself on this wooden parquetry. My stage is dim as I slowly began to sing..."

I kept my eyes closed as I sung, so I wouldn't have to look at the people. So I wouldn't have to see Haruka. Everyone was quiet...

"Above, in the sky, is a brilliant crescent moon. It moves behind the clouds, and I am left with nothing..."

Tears stung my eyes, but I bid them back. I have to finish the song.

"When the morning comes, all is warm, all is bright, as if winter turned to spring; and it makes me think if our love could come back once again it would conquer everything! In this rain that falls so endlessly I'll take you in my embrace, If you are still hiding away the answer that you gave on that day!"

 I slowly opened my eyes, and I looked right to Haru. His eyes, which usually showed no emotion, showed so much pain that it hurt me. But he did this to me... Right?

"Even now the voice that resonates within me still hasn't changed. Show me your heart, broken apart- I swear I'll make it okay..."

I took a deep, shaky breath as the instrumental came on. Then, I continued. Even though it was hurting me. Tears fled my eyes as I continued, but it didn't affect my singing at all. 

"My soul, hid away, struggles to break free at last; unable to contain the secrets from our past. 'please don't ever change,' That was all you ever asked, Although the days that I'd have rouge on my cheeks have past. Still the rain won't stop, raging on through the night, washing out the world we know; But I do believe that our love is still there, Like a carmilla hidden in the snow! If there ever comes a day that I awaken from this dream, I know that I'll come looking for you - But I wonder where the search will lead?" 

The tears were pouring from my eyes now, but I kept going. I stared right at Haru as I sang this whole time, but now I closed my eyes once again. 

"And the simple wish that I made back then still remain unseen. Though it appears, the things from here are no longer in my memories..." I drifted off as I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around me, and someone lean their head on my shoulder. I knew who it was...

"Haru..." I opened my eyes and looked down at the stage floor. 

"(Y/N), Please... Let me explain... I beg of you... I didn't want to hurt you... I didn't even kiss Makoto, I swear. I-..." He chokes off into a fit of sobs, and I place the microphone that I had been holding back onto its stand, then turned to Haru, who was sobbing. 

I have never seen him like this... He was always so... Emotionless. The most emotion I would see is a smile, or maybe in his eyes I could see him looking at me with love. 

"Haru..." I wrapped my arms around him. "Let's go home..."

TIME SKIP

Haru walked to the door of my room, leaving me sitting on my bed. He had just finished explaining everything to me. He had even called Makoto. 

Makoto had feelings for Haru. But he wanted Haru to be happy, so he told him that after he 'did something,' he would try to move on. What he did was kiss him, but I had been at the wrong place at the wrong time. Makoto -being that he was such a sweet person- apologized millions of times. I had to forgive him.

"Haru... I'm sorry I didn't listen to you. I should have heard what you had to say... But I-..." I looked down at my lap. I was ashamed of myself. Makoto wasn't the one who had caused the pain. 

I had. If I had just listened... 

I felt my eyes get watery, and I quickly wiped at them with the back of my hand. Haru walked over to me. "It's fine..."

"No, It's not. I caused you to cry-..." I choked on my own words as tears escaped my eyes.

"(Y/N)... You know what you can do to make it up to me?" He asked, and I looked at him through teary eyes and sniffled. "What...?"

"Sing for me again soon..."
