Soft Heart | Tsukishima [COMPLETED]

Chapter 20

Tsukishima banged on Yukis door, but after 5 minutes, he realized that she was no longer there.

"Shit!" He yelled, slamming his fist to the door, turning around and walking out of the building. He pulled his phone out of his pocket to text Yuki.

To: Hayashi Yuki
From: Tsukishima Kei
What the hell Hayashi?? Where did you go?

To: Tsukishima Kei
From: Hayashi Yuki
I'm going home. I can't do this with you anymore

To: Hayashi Yuki
From: Tsukishima Kei
Whatever Hayashi, I don't care anymore. This is just like you. I'm done.

Despite the words he was typing, he walked out of her building and directly to the train station, not even telling anybody where he was going. He had to fix this mess he made, and he wasn't going to stop until he did.

Tsukishima didn't fully think about what he was going to do when he got here, especially considering it was 11 pm, and he really wasn't sure if he should knock on the door.

Instead, he decided to call the girl, as to not wake up the rest of her family.

"H-Hello?" Hayashi said, Tsukishima could tell she was crying as he could hear the soft raspiness of her voice.

"Can you please let me in?" He huffed, using one hand the hold the phone up to his ear, and the other to lean against the side of her house next to the door.

"What do you mean?" She asked quickly, as if in a panic.

"I'm outside, just let me in, alright?" He replied, hanging up the phone.

After a minute or two of silence, the boy began to wonder if she was going to open the door at all, but to his surprise, he heard the locks click, and the door handle began to turn.

Tsukishima looked through the door to see a girl who looked like she had just been to hell and back, she had a tear stained face, and eye bags that told him she hasn't slept much lately. The thought of her being in so much pain dug at his heart, but he quickly reminded himself of what he was there for.

"Please" he begged, "I just wanna talk"

"Fine." She agreed, opening the door so that he could get through, "Were gonna go to my room because everybody is sleeping, but as soon as we're done talking, you're out"

"Fine. Whatever" he rolled his eyes, thinking about how unbelievably annoying she was, but followed her anyway.

The two sat in her room, Hayashi on her bed, Tsukishima sitting on the desk chair a couple feet away. Neither of them knew how to start, and the tension between the two was unbelievably heavy.

"Why did you come here?" Hayashi spoke, finally breaking the silence, "you can't just follow me home everytime you don't get your way"

"When I don't get my way?" Tsukishima scoffed, "Hayashi, you run away, every single time you're scared of even the tiniest thing going wrong. You don't get to just hide from your feelings, it's not fair"

"Then what are you doing, Tsukishima?" She shook head, getting irritated already at the conversation they were having, "you don't get to act like you're my best friend one week and the next be a complete jerk!"

"And I'm sorry for that" he responded, "it's what I came to talk to you about, okay?"

"Well I don't want to hear it" she spat, "I came back to tell you how I felt about you, and you didn't care at all! I asked over and over again for you to just talk to me, and you acted like I didn't exist! Like nothing has ever happened between us."
