I

●Chapter I●

"Nee Subaru, why do you love me?"

7 words. 9 syllables. 23 letters.

Those simple yet painful words kept ringing in my head. What can I do? She left me and went to another place.

Locking the door behind me as I covered my face with my brown hoodie. I snatched my phone from my pocket and opened it.

Words and numbers glowed from the screen as I adjust my eyes from the brightness.

I sighed as I closed my phone "Better read them I guess?" I opened my phone again and slowly read the messages

From: Sakuraba

Subject: -

Come on cheer up and lighten up! Forget about what my first message for you! You have to be strong enough for this!

I closed my phone, not wanting to read whatever they wrote to me. I opened the doors of the convenience store as the cold air slapped my face.

After buying (5 packs of chips and 8 strawberry milk) my necessities, I walked towards the park and opened my phone as I received a new message.

From: Nanakura

Subject: -

Good morning Subaru-kun! Are you okay?

I sighed as I quickly typed in my reply.

To: Nanakura

Subject: -

I waited for her response

From: Nanakura

Subject: -

Oh... I was worried about you. Anyways aren't you gonna celebrate?

I rose an eyebrow

To: Nanakura

Subject: -

What do you mean celebrate?

From: Nanakura

Subject: -

Today is Yume's 2nd death anniversary!

Realization hit me harder than puberty. Today is the death anniversary of Yume and Shira.

July 5

How can I forget?

I sighed. I tilted my head towards the sky "I wonder how you 2 are doing?" I looked down again "It's better this way" I sighed

After a few minutes I reached the park. Looking for something to seat on, I spotted a tree and sat down under it.

"Nee Subaru, Why do you love me?"

Beep-Beep

I grabbed my phone and saw a notification.

Unkbown

I sighed and opened the group chat that I have never dared to open.

Me: What do you guys want?

Nanakura: Yay! Subaru has finally opened/chatted the chat!

Me: That almost didn't make any sense so okay

Nozumo: Well its been like 2 years since he talked/chatted to us in the group.

Me: Who named the group "Unkbown" any way?

Asahi: Me! Why?

Me: I wish I never asked

I let out a frustrated sigh and closed my phone.

"Why do people so dear to us leaves us so soon?" I questioned myself,  while looking at the sky "Why?" I opened 1 of the chips and started munching on them.

"Nee Subaru, Why do you love me? "

"Stop ringing in my head" I slapped myself and froze on the spot.

"Do I even deserve them?" I asked.

Grabbing my earphones and stabbed them through the hole on my phone, I tapped the phone and gently listened to the song as I shut my eyes.

I thought sooner or later
The lights up above
Will come down in circles
And guide me to love

But I don't know
What's right for me
I cannot see straight
I've been here too long
And I don't want
To wait for it

I taught it was my imagination but through the music, I heard footsteps.

Fly like a cannonball
Straight to my soul
Tear me to pieces
And make me whole

I'm willing to fight for it
And carry this weight
But with every step
I keep questioning
What is true

Fall on me
With open arms
Fall on me
From where you are

"Subaru?"
