If Mei found yuzu's letter pt 4

If the roles were reversed.....

Mei had been depressed ever since she was sent back home by yuzu, she had seen the look on her face and it wasn't the same as before

Mei knew going to yuzu's apartment would mean heart break and the yuzu she knew was dead and gone

All the happiness she has was sucked out of her like in a black hole

Yuzu didn't stand for much anymore, Mei really missed that part of yuzu but she knew she couldn't get it back

Yuzu was completely destroyed inside and out, Mei could tell yuzu did grow up and she had to decide things for herself

But was leaving the Aihara household really the right choice for yuzu to do? Was she really that upset over mei getting married and not telling her?

Why mei couldn't tell her she loved her dearly?

She was being fitted for wedding dresses and she tried to push yuzu's sad face out of her mind but it didn't work

She looked in the mirror and had a sad expression on her face, she remembered when they went to a bridal store and tried on wedding dresses just for fun

It hit mei like a ton of bricks and she started crying in a corner after Yuzu went to go change out of her wedding dress

At that time Yuzu made mei really happy and vice versa, she was happy to be in a happy stable relationship with someone that was very close to her

What mei loved about Yuzu the most was that Yuzu didn't care about status or money, she was happy and content with whatever was thrown at her

All she did was try for mei and to keep mei happy but at the end of it all mei couldn't keep Yuzu happy

The letter she read kept repeating in her mind as if it was burned into her memory

She still had the ring Yuzu gave to her, it was her most treasured item. She thought to herself quietly

"Yuzu probably got rid of her ring because it hurts her to much to wear it or look at it. I caused her so much pain and suffering.

I couldn't tell her I loved her and she gave me the grandest confession during the Kyoto school trip and when we went camping with the manager.

I have failed Yuzu so bad and I don't blame her for not wanting to be near me.

I broke her without meaning to do that. I wanted to stay with Yuzu forever. She told me it's ok to be a normal girl around her, go on dates and love each other.

Did the love she had for me really disappear? Did I really let her slip out of my hands? Did I let our entire future slip away because I have to keep grandfather happy and the academy in tact?

Once she was finished changing out of her wedding dress, she went back home and laid in the bed she and Yuzu once shared, she locked the door to their room and started crying squeezing the life out of the pillow Yuzu used to lay on

I knew this was coming, I just didn't think Yuzu would be the one to pack up and leave like this and so suddenly.

No this wasn't all of a sudden... she planned this all on her own when i wasn't here to talk her out of it. I was so concerned about what grandfather was feeling and how the academy was supposed to be maintained, I didn't stop and think how yuzu would feel.

I didn't stop and think for one moment this could be last time I see her and her dorky smiling face.

The happy face I have grown accustomed to. The light the shines in my dark life. She made me feel whole again.

I broke it. I broke her. She won't even call me or even want to see me again.

Yuzu is broken and can't be fixed. I placed her in the dark shadows now. She won't come out of it for some time."

On the other side of town, Yuzu was at a bar drinking just enjoying her life since she was the legal drinking age to drink sake now

She looked inside her shirt and took off the ring necklace and tossed it away in the trash

"There is no sense of me keeping that, what was I thinking getting mei a ring.

We weren't going to last anyways. Us getting married is like hell freezing over and that will be never.

This is for what's best. I have cut ties with the Aihara household and now I am free bird.

I am no longer caged like some animal because there were rules to follow. I want to be me whoever that is. I know mama and daddy won't be upset I left.

They will probably understand the reason why I left. They won't question it.

I told them I loved mei with all my heart. They were happy I found someone I loved dearly.

She finished her drink and started applying to jobs on her laptop

It's time I started applying for jobs, I need money to survive on my own. Hopefully I can get one in the fashion industry.

I have a lot of designs flowing around in my mind. I don't care if it's an internship I will work my way from the ground up.

Her cell phone rang since it had a new number and to her surprise it was her gramps calling

She let out a sigh and was wondering why he would call her in the first place and how did he even get her new phone number

She pretended to be happy to hear his voice

"Good afternoon Mr. Aihara-san. It's wonderful to hear from you again."

Mei's grandfather was stroking his beard powerfully

"Why did you leave the Aihara household child?

Do you have any idea how bad that makes us look?

You are demanded to come home at this instant. Come back to the academy."

Yuzu didn't have time for this and wanted to hang up

"Mr. Aihara-san, I left of my own free will.

I remember you telling me that I was a disgrace to your family when we first met.

You judged me before getting to know me.

You expelled me from your academy cause I was half naked.

You didn't let me explain the situation and you judge before knowing what happened.

I did you a favor by leaving your household so I don't bring any shame or disappointment to your name.

I changed my last name back to my old one.

Yuzu Aihara doesn't exist anymore. I will be changing my phone number again.

I can't be bothered with the past.

You are speaking to Yuzuko Okogi.

Tell mei I said congrats on getting married.

I won't be attending it.

Keep mei far away from me since that's what you and momokino wanted anyways.

Goodbye and have a blessed day."

She hung up the phone and started crying heavily now, she didn't want that part of her life to come back and haunt her anymore

She left back to her apartment calling the cell phone company to change her number once again

Once the number was changed, she laid on the couch in a depressed like state
