Haru's POV
Swim practice has been over for a long time, yet I am still floating aimlessly in the water.
I step out of the water, dry off, change my clothes, and begin my journey home. The walk is unpleasantly silent. There is no Makoto, no aimless chatter, no warm presence at my side.
I have never felt so empty. It hurts, it hurts terribly. I clench my fists and walk straight up the stairs to my abode.
I can go tomorrow again tomorrow.
I have a restless sleep that night.
~~~~~~~
No matter how much I love sitting in my tub and being submerged in the soothing water, my morning soak has taken way too long for my liking. I feel like I need something to help me out of the water, but he is not here to do that.
Sighing to myself, I help myself out of the tub and wipe myself dry. Then, glancing at the clock, my eyes widen in shock.
8:05.
I rush to my room in panic.
I'm late for school.
~~~~~~~
Everyone gives me weird looks as I run into the classroom, late, and with no Makoto there with me.
I sigh as the stares increase.
I walk to my desk and take out a textbook to study.
I can't stop thinking about Makoto.
~~~~~~~
I don't have a bento with me. Usually Makoto's mother makes one for me and Makoto brings it to me.
Nagisa and Rei are not here as they are having retakes for a test. Rei was very upset with himself.
This had never happened before. I haven't gone a day without Makoto in so long. And the fact is it actually hurts just makes it worse.
I need to be more independent anyways. I need to make sure I can actually live without Makoto constantly by my side.
It's not working. And I'm hungry.
