I need you (Saioma) *Finished*

-Chapter Four-

This kind of cycle repeated on for the next 3 weeks. It stood as so; get sad on days when he was with kaede, be happy when he spent time with me, get up early and go to sleep early. I basically adjusted to it at this point. But now it was October and things were off. Today was Friday the 15th and it seemed pretty normal. It was one of the good days today; where he was all mine. I still woke up early and ate breakfast alone, but Shuichi walked me to school, and he wasn't happy. He really didn't seem like himself at all today. As we walked, I tried to see what was up with him. "Shu Shu, are you okay? You're going all silent on me" I spoke up. All he did was glare over at me looking absolutely miserable before he responded.

"I'm fine Ko, it's been a long morning for me. I have a massive headache, I barely got sleep, and Kaede is blowing up my phone. And Incase you're curious, she doing it for no reason except to try and make me argue back. I'll get over it though, let's not ruin your morning with my petty life problems." Shuichi rambled. Now that I heard him mention it, I could hear really light vibrations of his phone coming from his pocket. I chose to ignore it and focus on getting us to class to cheer Shuichi up. I looked at him and grabbed his wrist to drag him out towards the building. I was practically running at this point. And he was there running right behind me. I could see a light smile starting to appear, but he didn't wanna show it. Seeing that made me pick up the speed and absolutely book it for the classroom. We got there like 1 minute later and he finally showed a smile. However that smile didn't stay that long because once he saw her, his face dropped. Kaede sat there looking absolutely pissed out of her mind, and she was completely eyeballing me and Shu. He went to his desk without even looking back at her. The tension between them was so immensely high, that I felt awkward even being in the room. But I couldn't help but feel Happy seeing him unhappy with her. It sucked that they were having issues, but it was giving me hope, so I took it all in. Everything was fine this period besides the usual, endless tension. Then the bell rang and me and Saihara went to leave to go to second period. And there she was right by his side, but she had stuff on her mind.

"So Shuichi, why don't you just go ahead and tell me that you hate me and clearly regret ever going out with me? Because I know that's what you're thinking. So just say it, say that I'm the worse and you're just pitying me." She spat angrily. His face displayed 80 different emotions, yet he kept his composure. At this point I took an opportunity to trail behind them because I felt super uncomfortable. Yet I stayed close enough to hear his response.

"Kaede, I have a headache, I don't wanna do this right now, and especially not here. Just leave it alone." He sighed. However, she wasn't having any of it. She kept egging him on with the same words. Spewing out stuff about him hating her during the whole walk through the hall. Suddenly as we approached the steps leading to the next floor, Shuichi turned around, grabbed my hand, and ran us up. He didn't stop running or stop holding my hand till he pulled us into our desk of the English class we ran to. I looked at the mildly annoyed Shu and all I could do was smile, although he was miserable, he managed to make my day. Then, the most predictable thing happened, Kaede walked in the room even more pissed than before. As soon as she entered she marched straight to me and Shu's desk. She said there even after the bell rang. "Wow, real mature to just leave me there. This just proves how much you hate me now. So, just push me aside Saihara, just replace me-" she tried to continue.

"Kaede, I told you. I have a headache." He spoke softly as he covered his face with his hand.

"No, no, no, Just tell me you hate me" she screamed again. Now we had a crowd watching.

"Kaede. Please. Not now." He sounded more irritated. This could get bad.

"No, not until you just admit that you've never loved m-" she tried finishing, but....

"YOU KNOW WHAT? KAEDE. HALLWAY. NOW." Shuichi snapped.

I've never ever seen him that angry before. He was genuinely furious. It scared me, but it worked. And just like that they both rush to the hall, and the door slammed behind them. The whole class sat in quiet and all we heard was screaming coming from the angry couple. I could hear everything, but for some reason I felt the need to see it too. So, I slowly stood up and headed to the door. Once I got there I leaned on the small window that looked out to the hall. This prompted dirty looks from Kaito and Maki, two of Shu's best friends who weren't too fond of me. However they didn't stop me, so I stayed. Then out of nowhere, Kaede yelled "Just admit it, you have better times with Kokichi, then you've ever have with me. Like at the grocery store. Just say that you hate me." This hit me like a bus, and made me smirk, but still it seemed to have taken Saihara back more than I could've imagined.

"YOU KNOW WHAT. IM DONE. I CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE WITH YOU. We're done. I can't keep living like this." He spoke up and and headed towards the door. Through my utter shock, I quickly scattered back to my seat before I caught his eye. He walked in the room and sat in his seat like nothing happened. Kaede didn't come back in, but the teacher started class anyways. Nothing was said in the room until I heard a quiet "I'm sorry to bug you Ko, but do you have Advil?" come from Shu. I smiled towards him and shook my head. With that I reached in my bag and got him two of the little capsules and my water bottle. He took them immediately and put his head down. "Thanks" he muttered from out of his arms. Class passed by slowly for the rest of the day and Shuichi was miserable the whole time. When we got to lunch, I decided that I was going to skip the rest of the school day. It wasn't worth it to finish out the day in this place, especially if Saihara was miserable. I tapped his shoulder and told him that I was leaving if he wanted to come. And to my surprise, he followed me. I led us to my dorm with both of our "Koko specials" and I unlocked the door. We sat on my couch, finished lunch, used all of my blankets to lay around, nap, and watch movies together. The whole rest of the day was calm and it's just what we both needed. Since it was Friday night, he decided to spend the night at my dorm, and we shared my bed. The whole time my heart fluttered with joy. I was given hope again and slept better than I've ever have.

Maybe this break up was better for me than I thought it was
