The Shy One (Second Book To The Quiet One)

~Chapter Fifteen~

"Come on Yuki, it's time for us to leave for school. Due to your health still being depleted, you are to stat with one of us at all times, understand?" Reiji said, helping me up from the sofa in his library/science room. I'd been staying there since I fainted.

"I understand Reiji..." I replied back in a quite voice. My body still isn't great so whenever I talk I feel like I am going to be sick or faint again. I kept a hold if his hand while we left the from and carefully walked down the stairs to the entrance where we stood and waited for everyone else. "Have we heard anything to do with Yui's whereabouts?"

"Nothing yet. Ayato and Laito have been looking for her everyday since she went missing. They haven't found her yet," Reiji explained, reajusting his glasses so they sat higher up on his nose. "Why do you ask?"

"I saw her before she went missing..." I said. Looking down at the floor, finding it more interesting then what his reaction was. He lightly squeezed my hand, silently telling me to continue. "She was in the garden when... She was taken, but I didn't we who by as she ran too far for me to see."

Reiji was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking. Find a bit if confidence, I looked up at his face to see that he was Looking at me, deep in thought. As he was about to say something, the triplets all came down the stairs.

"Will Yuki be joining us at school today? Has been a while since she has~" Laito said, a bit if glee and excitement in his voice. He was happy to see that Yuki was well enough to come to school with them again. Reiji nodded his head at Laito, answering his question.

"Let's just get to the limo and leave already," Ayato said shortly. He's still and that Yui was the one taken instead of it being me again. At this point, I honestly don't blame him for thinking that. I don't see why I am still here...

I was born in a thunderstorm
I grew up overnight
I played alone
I played on my own
I survived

Hey
I wanted everything I never had
Like the love that comes with light
I wore envy and I hated that
But I survived

I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
Where the wind don't change
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
But I survived

I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

I found solace in the strangest place
Way in the back of my mind
I saw my life in a stranger's face
And it was mine

I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
Where the wind don't change
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
But I survived

I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing

I have made every single mistake
That you could ever possibly make
I took and I took and I took what you gave
But you never noticed that I was in pain
I knew what I wanted; I went in and got it
Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't
I told you that I would never be forgotten
And all in spite of you

And I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
I'm alive

I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

Tears ran down my face as I sing in front of Laito and Shu. School went by agnonisily slow. Shu said he saw Yui with Yuma, but only to me. I guess he knew Ayato would do something reckless if he found out. When we all came home, Laito and Shu dragged me up to the music room and made me sing.

My voice was hoarse from me being ill and from the tears. The song had a special meaning, one that Laito and Shu might be able to figure out. I'll always protect you boys. With my life if it came to it. Even you Subaru. Even after everything you still mean the world to me and I will always look after you, just like you did me...
