Kitten Love

Kit-Kat

   ~Present~

Gin's POV 

 "Hi Gin", Hana walked out, "oh hi Hana." I looked up to see Sweetie, face flat against the second floor window with a bowl of strawberries by her, waving goodbye. Hana must have noticed too, because she laughed out loud and waved goodbye to Sweetie. She turned towards me, pulled my hand and said " Come on we're going to miss the subway to school".

 "Kit-kat", I offered some kit-kat to Hana who smiled and took the kit-Kat.There was actually something special about the candy. To other people kit-kat is just a popular brand of chocolate but to me and Hana it's a role in our friendship.

 ~Middle School~ 

   Hana's POV

 It was Valentines Day, I was trying to give my rose to my crush, Jay Rode, Sweetie said if I liked him I should tell him. So I did during freetime, "um.... hey" Jay looked at me and smiled. I blushed and looked away, but I found the courage to look into his grey eyes and ask "be my valentine?" Jay looked at me, "you're kidding right," as soon as I heard that I couldn't handle the humiliation I ran out of the classroom it was raining but I didn't care I ran away tears falling from my eyes and my heart shattered in many pieces. "HANA!" Someone shouted my name out loud but I didn't dare turn back.

   Gin's POV

  Hana seemed different in the morning ,happy but secretive, but it was ok at least she was happy that's all I cared about. I didn't want to see her the way she was in elementary. Fragile and weak. We were in the same homeroom and I arrived late to homeroom because I stayed back in social studies to retake a test. My father is hard on me with grades but no nobody needs to know that, I got bruises from beatings when I failed my test but good thing it was on my hands,back, and legs that had the bruises. It was easier to hide them from other people and Hana, she would worry too much if I told her.

 I was walking back to home room from social studies ,please pass I said to myself, when I saw  Hana running out the classroom, I shouted her name out loud but she kept on running. Why didn't she stop, wait why is she running it's raining and doesn't look like it's going to stop so- someone's voice interrupted my thoughts which made me pretty pissed, "Damn Jay you have some guts to reject Hana like that.........it was awesome" laughter spread around the room it was class clown Lee talking.

 I didn't know why or how, but after Lee said that something triggered me. That thing caused me to go in there, walk right up to Jay, and punch his face so hard he fell to the floor, Lee broke the silence by laughing. Yeah ha ha, so I punched him in the face too. I then stood up and faced Jay I could tell he felt that what he did was wrong by the guilt in his eyes so I walked to him grabbed his collar of his shirt and pulled him close so he could hear my voice real clear  "Hurt Hana again like that........you're dead" and with that I pushed him to the ground roughly and ran out to find Hana.

 I ran around the school until I found Hana on a bench crying, curled up in a ball with her head in her arms, it was still raining so I placed the umbrella I had under her. When she noticed the rain wasn't falling onto her she looked up. I met her brown beautiful eyes which had tears falling out and like that she wrapped her hands around my neck and cried onto my shoulder. 

 When Hana calmed down I walked with her in the hallway leading to class, but she stopped and I understood that she was not ready to walk into the classroom, not yet. So I sat against the wall besides Hana. She was shivering so I took off my jacket without thinking and wrapped it around her, I looked at her but she was staring at something else.... my bruised hands.

Hana's POV 

 I was really cold. I ran outside shivering. I was wet and cold. The two things I hated most, besides Jay. I wept. Upon hearing someone approach me, I curled into a ball, my head tucked in my arms. I felt no rain... I looked up. Gin was holding an umbrella above my head. I looked into his eyes, the ones that were always there when I needed them. I studied his eyes. I wasn't very good at looking into him, but I saw.. pain. I wrapped my hands around Gin's neck and cried some more, partially because I was still mad at Jay, and partially because I saw the pain and I was mad that he didn't tell me.

 After a while, we went back into the school. I stopped before we entered the class. Gin could tell I wasn't ready and he sat us down against a wall. He draped his jacket over my shivering body. I looked at him and gave a weak smile. I looked down at his hands. They were badly bruised. "What...."
