"She's dying in there." I here Riku say outside my door.

"When did this happen?" I hear Issei say. I cough more in my bed.

"Don't know. I wasn't here all weekend. You're stuck here all the time, do you not know?" She asks.

"No, too busy with the restaurant." He says. It goes silent for a few second, then the door opens, both entering. Riku wearing her school uniform. And Issei already dressed for work.

"You doing alright there kiddo?" Issei asks.

"No." I said, coughing more.

"Jesus Christ. Did you play outside in the rain all day yesterday? You're dying in here." Riku says, feeling my forehead. "Jesus you're burning. Do you need any medicine?" She asks.

I shake my head. "No, I just really need something to eat." I said, coughing.

"Riku you should start heading to school. You wouldn't want to be late. I'll be back during my break and bring you back some ramen." Issei said.

"And I'll call your mom telling her that you're sick." Riku says.

"Thanks guys. You're the best." I say.

"Oh, and here. These are some chocolates that I bought yesterday." Issei says, handing me a bad full of chocolates.

"Cheap ass. You just go all those from the customers. Mister popular over here can't even get a girlfriend. How did he end up with all these?" I say. Riku laughs lightly.

"Shut up. It's better than nothing. Anyways we'll see you later. Bye, Kumi." Issei says, leaving the bag on my desk.

"Bye, Kumi."

The both leave. I get up and grab the bag of chocolates he gave me. I sit back down on my bed and wrap a blanket over myself. I look in the bag and see a whole bunch of chocolates. I smile at them. At least Issei thought about me.

My smile turns into a frown as I think about yesterday. I look over at the box of chocolates poking out of my trash can. Now I wish I could just disappear from existence.

I feel something in my stomach. I get up from my bed and run into the bathroom. I didn't think it would be that bad.

Issei came over and brought me a bowl of ramen. Riku came after school and brought me some medicine and chicken soup. Thanks to them, I was feeling a lot better.

It was dark outside, and it was pretty hot in my room. Going for a walk didn't seem that bad right now. So I grab a pair of jeans and a T-shirt and out that on. I grab a warm sweater and my house keys and head on outside.

The walk actually felt pretty nice. It wasn't stuffy. And the cool air seemed to feel great. As I'm walking, I see a figure from afar walking a dog. I recognize them as Abe. "Oh, hi Abe." I save.

"Hi, Kumi. Where were you today at school?" He asks.

"I got sick." I told him.

"Then what are you doing out here? Wouldn't the cold just make it worst?"

"I'm feeling a lot better. And the cool air feels really nice right now." I tell him. He nods his head. I look down at the floor to see his small dog. He was jumping around and wiggling his tail. "Hi cutie." I say, bending down and letting the dog. He started licking my hand, I laughed lightly.

"He seems to like you." Abe says.

"He's so cute." I say. "Wanna walk with me for a little bit?" I ask.

"Sure." He says.

"So, how was your weekend?" He asks.

I didn't want to think about what happened at all. Or even talk about it. "It was great. I had fun." I lie. "What about you?"

"It was good I guess. Spent Valentine's Day alone, but I still had fun. I was just hoping to get something from Nao. Apparently she was making cakes all week. It would've been nice to have one." He says.

"You seem to like sugar, Abe." I said.

"Yup." He says.

We come to a halt when we hear to people talking. "Abe, let's go. Don't be nosy." I whispered.

"It's Nao and Daichi." He said.

Daichi?

I walk slowly to him and listen to the conversation. I don't want to be here, but why am I?

"What's wrong?" Nao asks.

Daichi sighs. "You know, Nao, I still like you. If it were me, I'd never make you cry. I'd never play with your feelings either." He said.

Of course it's always her. Why can't he think about others for once? He made me cry. He played with my feelings. I hate myself so much. "You know what I thought about when I saw you crying the other day? I though, "I want to be with Nao." No, that's not it. I want you to be with me." He said.

"I'm sorry Abe, but I have to go." I whisper. He nods his head.

"See you tomorrow." He whispers. I wave goodbye to him. And then run out of there, not wanting to hear anymore of it.

I come to a halt at the same bus stop from yesterday. All of a sudden, I feel tears coming out of my eyes. Why am I like this? I shouldn't be like this over a guy? But why am I? This is so stupid.

I sit down on the bench and cover being my hands to my face, crying in them. Why can't I just disappear now?
