Toradora Drama

Chapter 11: It All Changes

*days later*

"Class, Ryuuji will be moving out of this class today and to America. Please be nice to him." the substitute teacher said.

Everyone had a dumbfounded look on their faces.

I couldn't face them.

Every class... Stares everywhere...

After the last bell rang, I rushed out of the school and bolted home.

I didn't want to be seen as running away...

I didn't want to be seen as a coward....

I didn't want to be seen crying.

My flight was tomorrow at 7 AM.

I packed everything I needed.

It was sad leaving all my memories.

But I couldn't argue it.

*Flashback to a few nights before*

"WHY ARE WE MOVING?" I exclaimed.

"Ryuuji... I thought you wanted this.." my mom said.

"I don't! WHY CANT WE JUST... Stay here?..." I screamed.

She started crying.

"I-I'm sorry I rais-"

"DON'T YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SUFFERED?" she screamed.

I've never heard her scream before.

I went silent.

"All this time, you never knew what I had to do..." she said.

"I worked for your sake, never for mine..." she said.

"This is over... We're moving and that's final.. I'm tired so I'm going to sleep.."

She walked into a room and collapsed.

I felt guilty for never realizing it.

I had always been that kind of person. I never tried sympathizing with those who really needed it.

She needed comfort and she didn't get it.. And she snapped..

That's when I decided I should stop, stop being selfish.
