The One That Got Away

I Remember How These Years Went by...Yet I Still Love You...

Two years later, I graduated Teiko Middle School and I didn't see Yuki after what happened between us.

It was my second year here at Rakuzan High School in Kyoto. After my defeat in the Winter Cup Basketball, I changed to my original self. My one heterochromatic eye was once again red. After that, memories of what I did to Yuki flooded to me. Realizing on what I did, it tore me apart. I still had feelings for her and was hoping that I could meet her to fix the mistake that I made.

Fortunately, we bumped into each other on the first day of school, just like how we used to bump each other in Middle School. She was about to apologize until she saw me.

"Oh! Um, hi Akashi. I never knew that you were going to this high school." Yuki said.

I wanted to apologize about what happened between us. But couldn't as we heard someone call her name out.

Yuki turned around and smiled at that man and waved at him, telling him that she was here. Seeing that same smile that she used to give to me, only made my heart throb in pain.

"Yuki, I was looking for you! Where did you go?"

"Sorry about that Kyoya! My attention was somewhere else..." Yuki apologized and then turned to look at me. The next thing she said made my whole body numbed.

"Akashi, I want you to meet my boyfriend, Horinozuka Kyoya."

The bell rang indicating that classes were about to start. Yuki said something but I couldn't hear her, or the bell. I just stood there in stillness.

I finally realized what happened.

"Yuki moved on..."

Regret started flowing through my body and the pain in my heart was unbearable. I couldn't stand it.

Tears started falling through my red eyes. I regret that I broke your heart. I regret that I fell in love with you. I regret everything. It hurts so badly that I felt like I lost to love.

My aura then changed and my heterochromatic eyes once again showed up...

Graduating from high school was easy but moving on from my past love was difficult. I tried to move on, but no matter how hard I could, I couldn't. I still love Yamamoto Yuki.

I was paralyzed once again when I got an invitation to Yuki's engagement with that same man I disliked. I couldn't let that happen. So I immediately ran to my car and drove my way to my destination to stop her.

And this time, I won't make the same mistake like I did before.

I won't push you away like how I did the last time.

I won't hurt you like how I did the last time.

So please come back to me.
