Would you remember me? (Sormik story and female Mikleo) Modern AU

Cut

Miklia's P.O.V. 

        I ran to the lake that I ran too when I was eight. I just stood there looking at the lake, thinking about what Symonne said. I usually don't let people get the better of me, but I guess what Symonne broke me. I couldn't believe what she did, especially to the ring; when she broke the ring, my whole world crashed down because it was the one thing that proved Sorey's and I's promise to each other, and it felt like I broke that promise in front of everyone.

       I picked up some tiny stones and threw them across the lake because I felt like it. I felt my anger rise up and I let it out by picking up a big rock, throwing it in the lake. I tried to calm myself down and after a little while, I did; I picked up another rock but quickly dropped it when I felt a pain on my hand.

      I looked at my hand and I saw a big cut on the palm on my hand, which hurt a lot. I started to form a idea in my head and decided to do it; I picked up the sharp rock, ignoring the pain in my hand, and removed the ponytail in my hair. This could be a bad idea but I didn't care anymore; I then heard someone calling my name, which was getting louder, but I ignored it.

      I used my other hand to hold my hair and in one cut, managed to cut my hair with the rock. My hair was no longer long anymore, now it was short, just like when I was a kid. I let go of the rock and looked at my hand again; the cut on my hand looked worst than before, probably because I picked up the rock again. I knelt down to the ground and felt the wind blow through my now short hair. "Miklia!" I heard someone yell which got my attention.

      I turned around to see Sorey standing there, looking shocked when he saw me. He quickly ran over to me and cupped my face in his hands. "Miklia...your hair, what happened to-" Sorey asked worried before I interrupted by saying, "I cut it." "What, why?" Sorey asked and I said/asked, "because I wanted to, aren't I allowed to change something about me?" "But Miklia," Sorey said, "you never like to change yourself."

      "Well, maybe I do," I said and got myself out of Sorey's grasp. At that moment, Sorey saw my hand and grabbed it, asking, "what the heck happened to your hand." "That was caused by the rock I used to cut my hair," I said in a monotone; I started to noticed that I was turning into Edna, so, I said, trying not to worry Sorey, "I was planning to clean it when I got home." "That's a bad idea, it could get infected," Sorey said worriedly then took out a med kit from his bag. I looked at him with a 'what the heck' expression on my face and Sorey asked/said, "what? You never know when your going to need it."

     Sorey started to help treat my hand and bandaged it when he was down. "So, mind telling me why you ran out like that?" Sorey asked a bit worried and I said, "not really..." We were silent for a while before I sighed and said, "I didn't want to waste anyone's time." "You weren't wasting anyone time," Sorey said then realized before continuing, "oh, you're worried that Symonne's right; well, she isn't, and she got in lots of troubles for doing what she did."

     "She broke the ring," I said then asked, "why aren't you upset that I let it happen?" "What? Why would I be upset-" Sorey asked then must've realized because he said, "Miklia, that was just a ring, a ring doesn't tell of our promise." "Yes it does," I said as I looked at him, "you gave it to me when we eight and I made sure nothing bad happened to it, now that Symonne broke it, it's like I broke our promise-" I interrupted myself when I felt the tears fall down my face and I started to cry a little.

     Sorey then pulled me into a hug and helped to calm me down; I think this was the first time I've ever cried sad tears in front of Sorey, not like I meant too. "Miklia, you didn't break the ring, so, it's not your fault," Sorey said, "besides, the ring is just a ring, it's not like an engagement ring." Sorey let me go and I said, "but-" Sorey interrupted me by kissing me, on the lips; I was surprised a little but it didn't take long before I kissed back. After our kiss, Sorey said, "the ring can be replace, but our promise can never be broken, because our promise lives on and nothing can change that."

      Sorey then kissed my forehead and I felt tears fall down my face again; Sorey wiped the tears off my face and after he did that, I hugged him. He hugged back and I felt like I was safe in his arms; if Sorey was mad, he would've said so, but he didn't get mad at all and was really kind through it all. After our hug, Sorey said that we should probably head back to the play practice because everyone was getting more worried and I just nodded in agreement.

     While we took the shortcut back, I asked Sorey how he knew I was at the lake; he said that he had the feeling that I would be here, since I was here when I was upset about moving away. Anyway, when Sorey and I got back, everyone was worried about me and were surprised when they saw my short hair. To be fair though, I just cut my hair so, they'd never knew that I cut my hair. Lailah told me that Symonne got detention for cyber bullying; I think she deserved more but whatever, at least she got what she deserves, I guess.

    Most of the people there told me that my hairstyle looked great and that I should keep it; they actually really like my hair and it boasted my confidence. Although, there were some people who said that I looked like a boy and I didn't care what people thought anymore. I actually stood up for myself when someone told me that Sorey wouldn't like me anymore because I looked like a boy. I knew Sorey loves me for me and he'll always love me for me; anyway, now the only thing I have to do is really important: be ready for the play.
