Your lie in May

Chapter 16

Tsubaki:
We sat on the long wall that surrounds the road. It was dark outside, and the red and blue lights blared in the distance and you could hear the pound noise of a siren.
     "Kousei... how did you know, why were you out so late..?" I asked. He looked at me, and kind of put his head down in shame.
"I was out for a walk. I'm not sure why... I was just feeling like it, I was feeling like walking around, because I had nothing better to do and because I was depressed." He replied.
     "Why were you depressed?" I asked. I frowned, and he lifted his head to meet my eyes.
     "Because... I ruined everything. I ruined whatever you liked in me. I deserve to be in pain." He replied. Half of me wanted to shout
     "No! I could never stop loving you... no matter how hard I try..." but the other half, wanted to say,
     "Yeah, you do deserve this." But I didn't say anything. I just looked away. I didn't know what to say to him.
     "Tsubaki-?"
     "Yeah..?"
     "I... I'm sorry. I'm sorry I ruined you. Even though you aren't hurt. I just want you to know that I really am sorry.. and even if you won't like me again, can we still be friends?" He asked. I looked at him in the eyes, I wanted nothing more than to kiss him.
     I looked at him in the eyes, and leaned in. He leaned in too. Our lips touched, and for the first time in a long time, it felt perfect. I smiled, and wrapped my arms around his neck, still kissing him.
     "Um.. miss, can we ask you your age?" A police man said, interrupting me and Kousei.
     I immediately let go of Kousei.
     "Um.. I'm 14." I replied. The man wrote it down in his notepad. It seemed we had caught a man that was raping many women and little girls and trapping them in his house.

Kousei:
Tsubaki and I had walked home that night together.
     The bright moon shone over my face in pitch black. I looked at Tsubaki, her clothes were somewhat ripped from being tugged by the man. She looked terrified of her surroundings, like she was watching out if anyone was going to rape her. I heard a ruffle in the bushes and Tsubaki screamed.
     "Tsubaki! Chill it's just a rabbit!" I said, as the black rabbit revealed itself. She screamed and cried and tugged onto my clothes.
     I grabbed Tsubaki by the face and looked her in the eyes. Her anxiety seemed to disappear into thin air, as she just stared at me. I let go of her, as she still looked at me in confusion.
     "Why did you do that?" She asked.
     "I don't know.. to get you to calm down." I replied.
     "You couldn't have thought of another way to calm me down?" She asked.
     "I- I'm sorry." I replied. She looked at me dead in the eyes, and slapped me.
     "DON'T PLAY WITH MY HEART LIKE THAT!" She screamed, slapping me over and over again. I grabbed her hand and pulled it away from my face and kissed her. The toughness in her hand seemed to disappear as she just sat there. I released the kiss, saying,
     "I'm not playing with your heart." I walked into my house, leaving her, to stare at me in confusion, I could tell she was embarrassed and her face was hot red.
