I want it Bad (Free! Iwatobi Swim Club Fanfiction - Makoto Tachibana)

♒ 07: Midnight

Chapter 07

What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?

That question keeps running on my mind as I pace back and forth inside my room. She is back. She is freaking back. Ugh. I need to get out of this house. It's suffocating me. But where will I go? I never really went to school and I'm not really good at making friends because I've usually caused nothing but trouble so where will I go?

Then a thought suddenly hit me.

I'll go to him. He is the closest person that I can call as a friend so I've got no choice. It's already midnight but I guess I couldn't care less. I'll wake him up if I have, I just really need some company. I silently went out of my room and I silently walked down the stairs. It's a good thing that everyone is probably asleep right now and it's not like it is my first time to sneak at midnight. I actually do it often so that I could, you know, cry by myself.

Enough of that drama. So I climbed up the gate and started to walk towards his house. I stopped by a vending machine so that I at least have something to give to him. I decided to surprise him a little bit so that's why I climbed all the way until I reached his roof.

I saw a large freaking hole and I actually felt a little guilty. Nah, I'll just send someone tomorrow. You can basically do whatever you want if your family is stinking rich anyway. I peeked through the hole and saw that he still has his eyes open.

"EEH?! A-AKIRA?!" He immediately stood up in surprise. "Hey." I simply stated back then I entered the hole. I landed on his bed and I tossed to him his drink. "What are you doing here?" he asked.

I slumped on his bed and sighed. "If I told you that I used to be a goody-two-shoes would you believe me?" He thought about my question for a moment and said, "Yes. I would believe you."

"Even if I'm the cause of most of the ruckus in the school and in town?" He nodded then said, "I would still believe you. There's no reason for you to lie to me anyway.  But why did you become a delinquent?"

I took a sip from my drink and stayed quiet. Should I really tell him about my past with my evil sister? The reason I came here was to release some of my hatred right? So I should really tell him the story. Or maybe not. Wait. What the hell!

I ruffled my hair in annoyance, ugh, I'll just tell him the freaking story.

"Can I call you as my friend?" I suddenly asked. Makoto seemed confused for  a second but he gave me that sweet smile and said, "Of course! Is there a problem? I'll listen to you if you want."

Normally I would be disgusted by that smile on his face, it's been a long time since someone smiled a genuine smile at me, but his smile actually made me feel a little better. Which was very weird, by the way.

"Err..you see..my sister came back. I went home this evening and then I saw her." I explained, my expression suddenly turned gloomy.

"Huh? I don't see any problem with that. In fact, you should be happy that you get to see your sister again." I rubbed my temples and took a sip again. Ehem. Now for a trip down the horrible memory lane.

"There is nothing to be happy about when you see your evil sister. Very, very evil. She's the reason why I left the goody-two-shoes group and became a troublemaker. You see, I'm very frail as a child and I didn't know how to stand up for myself so I always end up manipulated by that bitch."

"It started from simple broken vases b-but as the years went by it became worse. I'm always the one to take the blame. She would always say to me that even if I told my parents the truth they still wouldn't believe me. That bitch has good acting skills."

I glanced at him to check if he is still listening. He is still looking at me, eagerly waiting for me to go on. I cleared my throat and continued my little story.

"Then there came a time when I finally cannot tolerate it…"

Flashback

"Who the heck stole the money in the safe?!" Dad shouted angrily.

"It's Akira! I saw her snooping on your office last night!" Yuuki suddenly said. My jaw dropped at her false accusation.

"Dad! It wasn't m—" Before I could even finish my sentence, Dad suddenly slapped me. Hard.

"You disgraceful child! You cause nothing but trouble! Why can't you be more like your sister? Tch. YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A FAILURE, YOU TRASH!"

I don't know if the pain I feel is because of the red mark on my face or those words that he said.

He didn't even let me have the chance to explain. He's just Yuuki this and Yuuki that. I wanted to say so many things to him. It's Yuuki who stole money from the safe. I saw her last night, I even told her to stop but she pulled my hair and said that she would say many cruel things about me that are not even true to our parents.

But I guess I'll never get to say it…

So I decided that instead of trying to tell them the truth and then failing miserably, I would just say to them the thing that I've been meaning to say for so long.

2 Words, 7 letters.

"Fuck You."

End of Flashback

A single tear fell down my cheek. I didn't cry because I was sad, I cried because of so much hatred. Every time I remember all the thing that she did, I cannot hold back my tears.

Makoto just sat next to me and wrapped and arm around my shoulder. "Don't worry. It'll be okay…" He hushed. God, I really feel like a five-year-old who just lost her candy. But the warmth that he is emitting makes me think that it's okay for me to reveal my vulnerability to him.

I leaned my head on his shoulder then asked, "Is it okay if I sob grossly on your shoulder?"

He smiled at me and said, "It's okay if you want to cry. Crying doesn't indicate that you're weak. Since birth, it has been a sign that you're alive. So just cry your heart out."
