Compromise

Chapter 9

Ryosuke's POV

As I sat, my back leaning on her door, I messed my hair and sighed. How did I become a monster like this?

She's still crying... What should I do to make her stop?

When suddenly I can no longer hear her cry. Is she okay now?

"M-moshh moshi," I heard her say...

What does that mean? Is she talking to herself or... is she talking to someone on the phone? But she told me that she doesn't have a phone when I asked her on her first week of stay in here. How come she lied about that?

Her conversation with whoever it is continued. After some minutes, I heard her talk about me but then her voice became faint... Then she's giggling... Another silent minutes...

"Still there, toochan?" I heard her asked.

Toochan? Is she talking to her father? That bitch! How could she do this? Wasn't it clear that when I said she can no longer see her father automatically she can no longer talk to him either!

The door opened and she came out. She's holding a cellphone and leaning it to her earlobe. She's shocked to see me there. Suddenly I feel irritated and angry. She's a damn lier! I grabbed the cellphone from her.

"Ai~chan? Ai~chan?" I can hear a voice from the other line calling her name.

I pressed the end call button while glaring at her.

"R- Ryosuke~kun..." she muttered.

My brows furrowed. I looked at the cellphone and it seems familiar...

"This is Chinen's phone. How come you have this? Did you steal this from him?" I wondered.

"N- no," she answered.

"Could it be... Did he give this to you?" I asked.

She fell silent and just lowered her head.

"Did he give this to you?!" I asked again but shouting.

"Y-yes," she answered, startled when I shouted.

I left and went to my room. She didn't follow me to get the cellphone. That bitch! Just try and get this cellphone from me, you'll see what you're looking for!

Another day for rehearsal. We're at the dance rehearsal studio. After an hour of rehearsing, we finally have our break. As usual, Hikaru~kun, Yuto~kun, Chinen and Keito gathered up to where that girl is. Tsk!

"Hey, cellphone whore!" I called but she didn't move an inch. "Didn't you hear me calling you, cellphone whore?!" this time, I'm already pissed.

"Ah, hai!" she hurriedly stood up and went to where I'm sitting.

"What did you just call her, Yama~chan?" Hikaru~kun asked, his brows furrowed.

Him, Chinen, Yuto~kun and Keito stood up and faced our direction.

I glanced at her and then I smirked. "I just called her what she deserves to be called," I answered.

"What?" Hikaru~kun asked in disbelief.

"What do you mean by that, Ryosuke?" Chinen wondered and he started walking towards me.

I put my right hand in my sweat pants' pocket and get the cellphone there, "I mean this," I said as I showed them the cp.

That startled them and Chinen stopped from advancing himself towards me.

He looked at her with questioning eyes.

With the fuzz we've made so far, the other members started gathering around us and wondering.

"And will you mind your own businesses? Stop involving yourself with this damn cellphone whore," I told them with flat tone.

"That's too much, Yamada!" Daiki exclaimed.

"Yeah, I do think so. You're making yourselves too involve in this girl! I didn't bring her here to make friends with all of you! She's here to serve me and to give her blood to me! She's not here to feel all pleasured with your kindness! That's why stop involving yourselves!!!" I shouted at them. I could no longer control my anger.

"So, do you want us to treat her just the way you treat her? Is that what are you trying to tell us? That's non sense!" Yuto~kun yelled.

"If you couldn't understand a bit, Yuto~kun, just stay with your drums and beat until you're satisfied!" I answered.

"You're not making any sense, Yamachan," Keito said.

"Because you won't understand me anyway! You don't know how I feel each day I'm reminded that I'm not a normal person! You don't know how I dwell with loneliness that's why you don't have any rights to question me with what I'm behaving!"

"You're not the Yamachan we used to know anymore," Ryutarou muttered.

"You're the worst," Daiki said.

"I don't care! And who cares?! Nobody cares! That's why stop meddling with what I do and what I want to do! Just mind all of your damn businesses!"

"Do you hear what you're saying?! Are you making us feel that we didn't do anything to help you?! Huh?!" Yuya shouted angrily.

"From the day you had Ai, you became evil! And yes, maybe, we don't understand you anymore!" Yabu~kun said.

"Yamete," she muttered.

"You're too selfish!" Inoo~kun muttered.

I laughed. "Now you're talking. And now, everybody's against me? Fine! I'll quit and serve yourself!"

"MORON!" Daiki shouted at me, his hand balled into fist.

"Yeah whatever!" I answered him and smirk. "Let's just see what will happen when I'm no longer in this group," I chuckled.

"TEME!!!" Chinen shouted and dashed towards me, his fist aiming at me.

"YAMETE!" she screamed as she hugged me...

Chinen halted with great force.

Why? Why did she hug me?

"I'm sorry," she muttered, her voice is frail. "Please stop," she said and cried.

S-she's protecting me? In spite of what I did to her?

I felt my heart race. I can't explain why... I don't want this feeling.

I pushed her and I stepped away. I left the room.

"Ryosuke~kun!" she called but I didn't look back. "Matte, Ryosuke~kun! Gomen!" but I just continued walking.

And I didn't hear her anymore.

"Ai~chan!!!" some of the members shouted in panick but I didn't look back.

I just continued walking away as I clutch my chest. I wish this pounding of my heart will vanish already...
