Black Star Story ~ A Star Can Love Too

Chapter 13

"Tsubaki," I look at my partner who was now looking away with a bit of tears in her eyes. She wipes them softly off her eyes but doesn't bother to look at me anymore. She begins to walk to her bed but I quickly take her hand.

"Hey," I say softly. She doesn't turn around or say anything. "Tsubaki, speak to me," I tell her again.

"Let go Black☆star," She finally says. Bit surprised, I take my hand away. I was a bit scared to hear Tsubaki lightly shout at me but I was confused. I wasn't planning for that kiss and why. Why would she kiss me if she knows I like Cassy?

Taking a step forward, I frown and take Her hand again. "Why did you Kiss me?" I ask her. She looked at me, the tears now starting to run down her cheeks. She seemed so fixed on my face and blushed, and I looked away out of embarrassment.

"Why do you like Cassy," I heard from her, and looked up. Of course I was going to answer, why wouldn't I?

"Because she's the one that understood me and praised when I was young," I said. "Why, is that so bad? You know why and I don't have to explain this to you."

"Because it's not fair Black☆star. You notice her and she was gone for most of your life. I was by you through everything, and you still can't even thank me properly."

"Seriously Tsubaki. Do I seem that cold to you? Im Black☆star."

"Yeah, and I'm your partner. Your friend. I was your friend longer than she was." At this point I didn't know what to tell her, she was sad and crying and I didn't even know how to deal with it. Her face seem like those times she would worry about me, those times I made her cry and worry because I was in danger. I hated myself for seeing her like that, and I'm hating myself for doing it now and purposely.

I looked her in the eye, hoping she would see how sorry I was for making her cry. She cried more and I don't know why.

"Tsubaki..." I whispered to her.

"How can you be so uncaring Black☆star," she questioned, pushing me away. I stumbled back and tried calling her out again calmly. She continued to push me away from her as she tried and screamed at me.

"How can you be so inconsiderate with my feelings!? I hate you Black☆star for liking her! I hate you for not liking me!" Her cries were loud and sadly I didn't do anything when she fell on her knees. She threw her hands to her face as she continued her cries and I stood there. My heart ached so much and I couldn't bring myself to actually comfort her.

Finally, her cries turned to whimpers and I finally was able to kneel in front of her and grab her hand. She looked at me with those same sad eyes of pain that I threw when I saw Cassy in danger. My heart broke, feeling my arms wrap around her as she grabbed ahold of me. She whimpered quickly into my shoulder as I grinned my teeth, clenching my fists onto Tsubaki's clothes. Complicated I felt. I didn't know if I even liked Cassy at that point.

Tsubaki cries in front of me and I can't even place my feelings right. If it's Cassy, I can only sadden, but I can always know what to do. Is it really that complicated to figure out? I hate it that I can't keep my feelings straight. I hate choosing for that fact and I'm not doing it this time. For sure I like Cassy...

Or maybe... I don't.

/Cassy's Point of View/

We safely got to our home, yawning as I slid my pajamas on and walked to the living room where Aden was sitting at the couch facing away from me. I walk to him to tell him to go to sleep but as I walk in front of him, he's snoring, his hair covering most of his face from lack of gel. I smile and try to scare him by getting into his face and whispering his name.

"Aden..." I creepily whisper. I suddenly see Aden's eyes fly open and moves his head forward, bumping into mine.

"Ow, Aden," I whine, standing up straight rubbing the pain off my forehead.

"Why were you in my face Baka," He complained.

"I was trying to scare you, and it worked, but you hurt me in the process." He rubs his forehead as he got up, towering over me. I look up at him as I run my bleeding forehead of pain and smile at him. He doesn't return the smile. He sighs and walks away to his room.

No goodnight? I pout. I look to the tv that Aden left and on and turn it off. I walk to my room but looking into it, I see a couple of figures in the living room of Black☆star's house. After a few seconds I don't see them and I'm guessing their going to sleep.

From a while ago, I still remember Black☆star with Tsubaki and how irritated I felt yet I felt relieved, and I'm not sure why. Was I really falling for Black☆star? Or was I just jealous about their relationship? Technically that's the same thing but what do I care if they get together? They were partners for so long and they are amazing in combat. Unlike my partner that seems so bipolar and it's annoying. He never appreciates me much at all, and he coldly ignores me or just doesn't talk to me. What did I do wrong?

Is it that I'm too weird or just not what he expected? If it were Black☆star even the other guys, they would appreciate me more than Aden has. At least Black☆star will smile back instead of ignore me. At least Black☆star would care and treat me like I matter. Stupid Aden, you make me want to pull my hairs out.

I try closing the door to my room when someone stops it and I quickly turn around to look at Aden standing with some bandages.

"Why did you leave the living room? I was going to bandage you," He said as he approached me, closing the door behind him.

"Well, you didn't even tell me to wait," I retorted, looking away from him. "And anyway, why did you bring bandages?"

"You didn't notice? Your neck is bleeding a bit." I frown slightly and feel my neck. I move my hand in front of me to see some blood and I quickly try finding a leftover napkin in my room, but Aden stops me. He grabs my hand and wipes the blood off my hand and proceeds in cleaning my neck. It only took Aden a few seconds before he put a bandage on the cut and looked at it to see if any blood was leaking or if any cuts were visible.

"Thank you Aden," I suddenly say, feeling the bandage on my neck. He nods and opens the door to my room.

"Goodnight," He said. He doesn't bother to look back as he closes the door behind him, leaving me alone in my nicely lit room. I could only sigh and feel a bit pained as I turn off the light and lay in my bed, moving around to get comfortable. As much as it kills me to stay up or even think of anyone, I get up and walk to the balcony. The light breeze runs through the moon covered skies as I quietly groan to myself.

"How confusing can this be," I told myself. I lightly touch the bandage on my neck and smile at the thought of the redhead teammate of mine as he nicely put the bandage on me. "You really are a confusing guy."

"And you are such a confusing girl... Cassy."
