I lost all hope after being asked out

Chapter 3 did Sadako's pain tear us apart?

What is it that gives our hearths color? What is it that gives our lives color? This was something Leo wondered as everyone was yelling at each other in that room. But then Leo realized these guys weren't his friends. He had no obligation to be here he came here out of his own free will. He could just run away again hide and not have to go through it. , It seemed so easy. But unlike last time his legs wouldn't as he stood there thinking, he couldn't run, he couldn't hide he had to face this. Cause unlike last time this time he was guilty this time he had caused the problem. He wanted to run but he knew he had to take responsibility. So he yelled at them "All of you be quiet". As he yelled everyone turned around and it went completely silent they had never seen Leo like that. "Sadako did nothing wrong he was hurt Im the one that's guilty" Leo said. Then as Kazimune tried to disagree Leo spoke. "No I am guilty, I went along with him knowing something was up. I joined this group knowing there was a chance I would break you apart. And lastly, I never trusted any of you so be angry with me not with him that way you can all be friends again and I can just disappear again" Leo said as he turned around. Sadako remained quiet Tomomi grabbed Leo's hand Aki looked at him. But then Kazimune spoke "I refuse I won't give up one friend for another even if it can save all my friendships this was Sadako's fault but I won't be angry at him". Nami then just nodded as she too remained quiet.

The next day as Leo came to club he soon realized there were only three people inside the room. It was Sadako silently reading in a corner and Nami and Kazimune silently sitting at the table. "So where is the rest of you weirdo's" Leo said with a smile as he entered knowing quite well where they went. "They didn't show up but I know they will be back soon enough" Kazimune said with a fake smile. "Then I'll wait if I came here I know they will eventually come back" Leo said as he sat down. "So what we reading today" Leo then asked. "The Mongol invasion of Japan" Nami replied as she walked up to Leo and sat down next to him. she then leaned in and whispered in his ear "thank you for not leaving". As Leo heard that he had to laugh a bit. "You two seem to be enjoying your time together" Kazimune then said teasing them. "What jealous it isn't you whose ear she whispered in" Leo replied. Kazimune then burst into laughter Leo and Nami soon following. Sadako still reading in the corner put down his book and looked at the trio of people laughing while all of this was going on. This wasn't how Leo had been two days ago at his house this was a man enjoying life. Then as the laughter came to an end Leo turned to Sadako. As he looked Sadako straight in the eyes he said "How about you go and find our other two-member and bring them back". "What if I fail?" Sadako said. "Then I, no we will be there to fix it" Leo said with a smile.

For another week the four would be the only ones to come to club but then out of nowhere as they were talking about a book the door opened. There entered Tomomi. "Hey Tomomi where have you been" Nami said. But she didn't reply she just walked up to Sadako and hit him straight across the face. As Leo saw that he couldn't help but be surprised what had just happened why had this happened. So Leo stood up and reached out but as Leo tried to Tomomi pulled away and left. "Is she angry with me or Sadako?" Leo asked confused and a bit desperate. "You" Sadako said. "How do you know?" Leo asked. "Because I tried to get here to come back to club but she said she wouldn't come back cause she couldn't look you straight in the eyes" Sadako then said.

That next day as the break started Leo immediately left the classroom walking to Tomomi's classroom. As he entered at first she didn't see him. But when people started talking about him being there she turned around and looked him straight in the eyes. As Leo saw her he also saw the panic in her eyes as she scrambled to get up. Leo who had never talked in class unless spoken to by a teacher after the incident now yelled straight through class straight through all the hallways so that everyone in school could hear him. "Don't you dare run away from me. I want to talk to you but I won't do it here in the middle of class come to the roof after school" Leo then said as he put his hands in his pockets and calmly walked away. As Leo walked through that classroom and those halls everyone looked at him stared and talked. But Leo didn't seem to care he just walked there his head a bit hung down and his hands in his pockets.
