Chapter 16

I'd just woken up. I quickly got dressed, and walked out of my room, and on my way walking down the hall I suddenly gagging sounds coming from the bathroom. "Hey, Mika?" I yelled through the door. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I just don't feel that great, is all." She said. I twisted the doorknob. It was unlocked. Mika looked over at me, with a shocked look and tears in her eyes. She was leaned over the toilet. I quickly pieced it together. She hadn't been eating for the past week, and now this. "Mika, oh my god." I said, pulling her away from the toilet. "I'm sorry. . . I couldn't risk anything. I finally got you, and I just-"

"Stop it, Mika, do you even realize how dangerous that is?" She ignored me, standing up and going to wash her hands. "Mika-" I grabbed her hand as she finished washing her hands and began walking out of the bathroom. "I get it, okay? I really do. I've doubted myself so much in this relationship, but you can't do this. You need to stop, alright? For me." She kept her back turned to me for a long few moments, but finally turned towards me, wrapping her arms around my torso. "I'm sorry I'm so messed up, Akio. I don't deserve you. I wrapped my arms around her in return. "Don't say that. If anything, it's the opposite way around, but, please, can we just stop all this and just be glad we have each other?" I said, tears flooding my eyes as I tried to hold them back. Mika nodded. "And, Mika, about yesterday, I'm sorry. . . I thought I was ready to tell you. . . But I just wasn't." She shook her head. "It's fine. I shouldn't try and force you to tell me anything." 

I sighed. "God, what even is normal anymore?" I muttered. "Honestly, I don't even know anymore." Mika replied. "All I know is I love you."

I kissed the top on her head. "I love you, too, so just stop doing stupid stuff, got it?" Mika nodded. "Alright, got it."
