I found you in April

"Don't go."

What did I do to deserve this? Why does it always end this way? Am I just never meant to be happy? All I wanted to do was be with Kousei. If I never get to do another thing in my life, just let me be with him. This "God of Love" that everyone talks about? It's such crap! How could an entity who's meant to show only love of the most powerful kind let this happen? I'm losing my heart. I don't want to live anymore. What's the point? I should've just done the world a favour and ridded it of me a long time ago. 

"Don't talk like that Sweet-Pea."

"D-dad? No. This is some sort of cruel joke. You're dead."

"I know I am. But Kaori, you're dying too."

He pointed to what looked like a screen. I was in Tsubaki's room, unconscious, bleeding out of my head. There was a team of paramedics putting me on a stretcher, lifting me out of the house into the back of an ambulance. Was I really on the way out? Was this how I wanted to go? Being beat up by a psychotic yandere? It was better than being there I guess.

"This is not the way to go Kaori."

The screen changed.

"K-Kousei?" I mumbled

I fell to my knees and let out a scream. A scream of pain. Of anguish.

How was I meant to choose? Here was my dad. The man I had wanted to be with for so long. And there was Kousei, on his hands and knees, begging me to come back. 

What was I meant to do?

Kousei's POV

An Hour Earlier...

I heard a siren. It was an ambulance, heading in the direction of Tsubaki's house. What was going on? I felt my chest tighten. I couldn't risk it being my love and not being there when she needed me. It was probably nothing, but it's better to be safe than to be sorry. I walked back around the corner and there was a group of people gathered. That was when I saw her.

Kaori. My love. My new girlfriend. My soulmate. Being stretchered away from Sawabe's house. My blood went cold. What had happened?

Then I saw HER!!!

She had Kaori's blood all over her. This was no coincidence! I lost all control of myself to a deeply rooted anger inside of me. I told Kaori I would protect her and I had failed her. 

"WHAT DID YOU DO?!" I screamed.

She turned to face me, smiled, and started laughing.

"You sick, twisted MEINU!"

I turned around to go meet the doctors and they told me it wasn't looking good. I fell to my knees. 

"You can't die." I whispered in her ear.

"You promised. Please don't leave me alone. Not again. I CAN'T LOSE YOU!" I screamed into her torso as I held her for what could possibly be the last time.

"We still have to go on a journey." I whimpered.

Kaori's POV

"Don't listen to your head Kaori!" My father sternly warned me.

"Listen to your heart! What is it telling you?" 

"I love him Dad. I love him so much. But I don't know if I can face going back there. I want to stay with you."

"What was the golden rule I always thought you as a child?"

"Never break a promise."

"Do you see that boy Kaori?"

"My boyfriend."

"You made him a promise. What was that promise?"

"That I wouldn't leave him. No matter what."

"Now. My dear daughter. I ask you, what is it you are going to do?"

"I'm going to stay with him Dad! I miss you so much but I love him more than words can say."

"That's my girl. Now go! Be with him."

I hugged him with all my might. And then, he was gone.

**********

To the shock of everyone watching, I sat up, looked at Kousei, kissed him for what could possibly have been the last time and said...

"I'm not finished yet. I love you." 

And fell unconscious again...

A/N: I know it's short but I'm tired and when I'm tired I can't think properly so if I continued it probably wouldn't make sense and I wouldn't be able to tell the story in a way I would be happy with.

Thank you guys for reading!
