Mixed Emotions - Jinguji Fanfic

Chapter 18

".....Caring...Misaki....Relationship....Ours." I recognized Syo's voice and sighed in relief.

I was about to leave when I had accidentally brushed against a bush. I ran back to Tsukiko's house.

"I'm sorry I left you there." Kei said as soon as I entered through the door.

"No problem" I said and brushed past him. I was still worried about Tsukiko. Would she run away with Syo?

After multiple times of opening doors, I had found Tsukiko's room and paced around, hoping she was ok. I sat on her fluffy bed and she burst in.

"Ah! Tsukiko!"

"Get out." She said coldly. I held back my tears.

"Eh? Why?" I said shocked and confused at her greeting.

"Because I said so. Go sleep with my brother or something." She said turning away. No doubt she was mad at me.

"About that--"

"I don't want to hear excuses. Just go."

I dragged my shoulders out the door and started weeping silently out side her door.

I wiped my tears and went downstairs. I guess I'm not welcome here either. I mind as well go sleep at the park tonight.

"Misaki, is everything all right? You look so lifeless." Jinguji said, looking worried. He was still there, waiting for me...

"I-I just lost a friend. My only friend." I said and began crying all over again.

"...It's alright, I'm here for you." Jinguji said comfortably. Sooner or later, you're gonna leave me too. I enjoyed the moment while it lasted.

                   Next day...

Class passed by like day and night. Tsukiko avoided and ignored me. My depression grew worse by the minute. I could hardly concentrate on work. Maybe I should've stayed alone and rejected Jinguji and everyone else instead...

"Tsukiko, answer me, what did I do to make you so mad?" I said on the verge of tears.

She turned around and glared.

"It's because..."
