Nunu's Fear

Chapter 9: Nunu's Fear

Nunu

"Be careful of Jack. Ever since you came along, something is telling me that something isn't right about him. Just wanted to let you know," I told Annie. Then, I walked into the dorm silently, leaving Annie in the empty hallway as the door behind me closed quietly.  I leaned my back against the door with a soft thud as I stared up at the white ceiling with a deep thought.  What the hell am I thinking about letting Annie go out with Jack?  I feel exactly like Annie when I hung out with that blonde chick, and I have to prevent her from doing the same with Jack.  But then, my mind wandered off to the other direction.  No, no, I can't do it.  I can't force Annie to end the date with Jack.  It's her life, and I can't do anything about it.  Damn my jealousy.  I haven't realize that Lulu was staring at me the whole time until she called out to me with a shaking voice of worriedness. 

"N-Nunu?  A-are you alright?" asked Lulu as I looked at her with a sad smile, trying to prevent her from worrying about me.  I have no idea why Lulu even sneaked out of the league in the first place into this dangerous world.  She wasn't forced to leave, but ever since she was here before Annie came, she has always been like a little sis.  I don't know, it just feels that way somehow.  The way Lulu cared, talked, and play when she was around me.  I always find myself to stop and stare at her amusingly for a while.  We also had each other's back most of the time.  Every time one of us got bullied, the other would step up and protect each other.  I thought it would be the same with Annie, but it seems like she still hates me even if she forgave me back when I apologized at the hallway.  Maybe it time for us to move on, maybe we weren't meant to be friends after all.  "Nunu?  Why are you so quiet?  Y-you're scaring me,"  I could see Lulu's big wide purple innocent eyes.  Wait, purple eyes?  I thought Lulu always had emerald green eyes like Annie.  Maybe turning into a human may had an effect to the color of her eyes. 

"I need to talk to you about something,"  I replied as I slowly walked towards my bed and sat down.  Lulu sat down next to me, but she focused her concerned eyes on me the whole time.  I caught a glimpse of her two hands, clenched in a fist and were placed together by each other.  It was telling me that she was willing to find out what I had to say. 

"What is it Nunu?" asked Lulu with gentleness as I sighed sadly, trying my best not show the soft side of me. 

"It's about Annie.  I don't know if you have noticed, but it seems like Annie is different somehow," I said as Lulu stared at me blankly.

"I know what you mean.  Annie is much kinder and nicer than she used to be,"  explained Lulu but I didn't change my sad mood.  Lulu was half right, Annie has become much nicer than she used to be, but Lulu doesn't know about her presence and feeling of energy Annie has within. 

"Yeah, but there's something else.  It's the energy I feel inside of her.  When we were kids, Annie always had a strong presence and feeling.  It seemed to scared you a little bit when you feel it, and you could even feel it even when Annie was happy, not angry or in combat,"  I said as Lulu looked away from me in thought. 

"I do feel afraid when I battled against her, but I don't feel her presence very well whenever she isn't playing very aggressive,"  replied Lulu and I already knew why she couldn't feel it.  I chuckled with another sad smile as Lulu gave me a confused look. 

"That's because you haven't bonded with her well enough yet.  Anyways, ever since Annie came along, her presence is way different now.  It's like her presence somehow soften and instead of scaring regular humans, they are somehow attracted to her,"  I said but Lulu looked down slowly as her face darkened and a wide smirk appeared on her face.  I stared at her in suspicion, wondering why she made that face.  "Why are you smiling like that?"  I heard a childish giggle from her as she looked up at me with a evil look. 

"Don't tell me you're jealous that someone is going to take Annie away from you."  said Lulu and I felt my cheeks slightly flushed as I looked away from Lulu, hiding my embarrassed look.  I had no idea where the random blush came from.  Annie and I aren't couples nor had personal love interests in each other. 

"It's not that.  Annie is just a best friend I have trusted for so long, and I don't want to lose the same feeling we used to have," I replied and Lulu suddenly stopped smiling.  She looked at me worriedly as she grabbed my neutral hands in comfort.  Her caring sister side must have kicked in because it seemed like she felt bad for me after I expressed my feelings.

"But Nunu, we all lose friends along the way right?  Even our best friends we lose, and there's nothing we can do about it.  The only thing to do now is to move on,"  said Lulu and her words somehow angered me.  She wants me to give up on Annie without any effort of trying to resolve it.  I clenched my fist as my fury rage rose.  I stood up quickly and looked at Lulu coldly.  She stared back in fear as she backed away from me. 

"I'm not giving up on Annie!  What if she's in trouble right now?  Jack could be a coward and run away, leaving her in danger!  I can't lose Annie, Lulu."  I felt tears running down my cheeks as I made a slight sound of cry.  "She's the only thing I have left in my life." 

"But Nunu, you can't just-"

"Would you shut up and listen to me for once?"  I yelled and Lulu kept quiet as she closed her eyes and placed her hands over her hands in fear. 

"I-I'm sorry Nunu!"  apologized Lulu as I looked away from her sadly.  What the hell am I doing?  I had never let out my anger towards Lulu nor yell at her.  I was always so caring to her as if I was a loving older brother.  I really messed up now.  I crouched in front of her and carefully reached for Lulu in comfort. 

"I'm sorry Lulu.  I didn't mean to yell at you like that.  I'm just worried about Annie and-"  Lulu slapped my hand away, but refused to look at me in the eyes.  She still seemed to be in fear as her sad purple eyes glowed in the dark room and wet tears were streaming down slowly from her eyes. 

"D-don't touch me.   I don't- I don't want to anger you anymore!"  begged Lulu.  My heart mentally ached from her words, realizing that she no longer wanted me to touch or hug her like loving siblings anymore.  Her command of rejection hurted me so much, that I had a shameful look on my face as I thought to myself, What kind of friend or person am I?  I don't even deserve to live anymore." 

"Get out of my room Nunu." responded Lulu sadly as she hugged her pillow on her bed tightly with her back facing me.  I already lost Annie, but I didn't want to lose Lulu either. 

"Lulu, please.  I'm sor-" 

"I told you to get out!"  Lulu yelled as she threw the big white pillow at my face with tremendous force, knocking my weak balance off.  She looked at me with anger, the anger I haven't seen before.  "Can't you care to shut up and listen to me for once."  Those words were the same words when I let out my anger at her.  I guess I know how it feels when you tell someone to shut up and listen.  I faced away from her with another shameful look.  With silence I exited the room, leaving Lulu alone because there was nothing else I could do to help Lulu.  This was entirely my fault for yelling at Lulu.  I was so scared to lose Annie, that I blamed it on Lulu.  What the hell is wrong with me?  I sighed in frustration.  Maybe Lulu was right.  What if Annie no longer cares about me.  Does everyone really lose friends along the way?  I was about to head to my dorm until I heard footsteps nearby as I looked around the hall for a place to hide.  I saw an empty closet with a broom and a bucket inside as I quickly entered and closed the closet door.
