Kaori's POV

I waited by the phone desperate for an answer.

Don't say you miss me when you don't call.

When Kousei arrived home a week later I was surprised.

We sat in silence eating take out.

I needed to get this off my chest.

"Kousei do you love me anymore?" I asked

He looked at me.

He didn't answer instead he left without word I sat under the light above our table.

That next week I waited by the phone.

Don't say you're hurting without the scars.

"Kousei, do you love me anymore?" I asked again

He didn't answer back.

I slapped him across the face.

Sick of the silence between us.

I mean we should be able to talk to each other.

"Kousei, answer me!" I said

More silence I left in a hurry.

A year passed we didn't see each other.

I worked at a cafe.

Kousei stopped by with a blond a replacement of me.

"So the dog says "It takes courage to said in uncharted waters!"

I listen in on their conversation from the table behind them.

I noticed she was wearing an engagement ring and they were........holding hands.....in public.

He never did that with me.

"So that's two coffees and 2 donuts." I smiled taking the order I handed it back to the chef.

I needed to seem happy.

Watori was there with his daughter Lilly who had blonde hair and hazel eyes she was 4 months old.

"Watori,psst can I borrow you're daughter for a second?" I whispered in his ear

"What why?" He said

"You have to help me get Kousei back come on! I'll give you a donut on the house!" I said

"Okay." He said

I slid off my apron and took the carrier walking by Kousei.

Watori walked beside me and smiled.

"Is he looking?" I mouthed

"Yes." Watori mouthed back

"Ah, Kaori what a nice surprise." Kousei smiled

"Can't say the same." I said blankly

"What are you doing here?" He asked

"Helping Watori babysit." I said

"Who's kid?" He asked

"His." I stated

"Oh."

"Yeah..." Watori whined

"Who's the mom?"

"Tsubaki."

"Oh."

"Yeah...." Watori whined

"Well we best get going." I said and walked off

As we went outside I wiped my forehead.

"Who was that with him?" I screamed at him

"Emily Bettina." Watori stated

"She's married! What the he- I mean heck is she doing with him!" I asked

"Her husband is an old man so she kinda gravitates towards younger people."

"Ohhhhhhhhh." I said and handed Watori a donut which he gladly took.

Kousei came out of my parents restaurant.

"Kaori, do you love me anymore?" He asked

"No." I said and walked off
