Chapter 17

I tried to ignore you today. But you keep appear in my eyesight. Don't act like that, I scared.

[Akaashi POV]

I waited for (y/n) in front of her class. But she isn't there. I ask Yui where she had been.

" You should cut your contact with her."

" Why should I?"

" I have bad feelings about it. And I'm sorry, I don't know where she is know."

" Even so, she is my club manager. We should contact each other."

" Not for long." Yui said with sad tone then left me. Why she said like (y/n) will disappear or something?

I walked into the gym and found her there, talking with Kaori. I waited for they finish talking then I call for her. She looking at me as I call her name, but she just walking to other direction, ignoring me. Today, I feel like she trying her best to ignore my presence. Did i do something bad to her?

Its her turn to lock the gym, so she will return home late then others. I changed my clothes and wait for her at the school gate.

" Waiting for her, didn't you?" Bokuto as while glaring at me. I can feel shivers through my spine. He so quiet today, same as (y/n). Is something happen between them? Or between me?

" Do Akaashi have some feelings toward (y/n)?" Bokuto ask. He place his hand behind his head while staring at me intensely. Whats wrong with people today? I slowly nod my head. He sigh. It's rare to see Bokuto sighing.

" Don't try to break her heart okay?" he said while giving me his smile. I nod, confidently. Then he left in his father's car.

I wait for her until she appears. (y/n) saw me standing at the school entrance, she would figured that I waiting for her. But she just walk pass me. I grab her hand and bring her behind school gym.

" Akaashi, you hurting me." she said while trying to lose my grip. I not holding her arm that hard. I shove up her sleeve to see her bandaged arm.

" When did this happen? How can I don't know about it? Who did this to you?" I so worried. She's being harmed and I don't know about it. Does others know about this?

" It's not your problem to concern." she never said that to me. She pulls her hand from me and rubbing it, relieving some pain in her hand.

" Are you trying to ignore me this whole day? Did I do something bad to you?" I don't think I do something that mad her mad at me. Or I did unconsciously?

" Akaashi.."

" Just talk to me if you have a problem. I'm always here for you." I said while placing my hand on her shoulder. But I didn't expect what she said to me after that. She said that she will back to home-schooled because her mother is worried about her. Which mother doesn't worried about her children getting hurt while she not home? Everyone would be worried about what happen at their beloved one.

" H-how? You just been here for a month."

" She worried. And I scared.." scared?

" About what? I'm always here for you." I said.

" But where were you when I got beaten?" that first time you got kicked, I got scared. I can't act wisely I just call Bokuto for help. And that time at the rooftop, I maybe can help you if I walk faster. I just not good at fighting.

" I'm apologies if I can't be there in the right time that day. But I promise I will be by your side starting now." I will, that my promise.

" What you feel about me, Akaashi?" her question completely caught me of guard. Should I said that I love you? But you said that you have a crush and that someone probably not me. I low-key hope that it was me. I don't want us to be awkward around each other if I confessed and you rejected me.

" Because your words makes me fall for you." that mean..

" I deeply fall for you, Akaashi Keiji. But I know you dont feel the same." What is she talking about? I also love you. Not like you, I love you. I want to say that its not true, but she cut me again,

" I don't need your answer. I should have stop liking you, before something bad happen." she remove my hands from her shoulder then she hug herself. Tear rolling at her cheek. I want to swipe it but she stepping farther from me.

" I scared Akaashi. I got hurt because I have grown feelings on you. Itazura did said that I should get away from you. Yui also said that it's dangerous to be around you. But I stubborn, because you were too nice to me. That's why I fall for you."

" (y/n).."

" They keep encouraging to confess to you. But hearing that you don't have someone special, I know that you will reject me since you didn't feel the same. But, you keep treat me like you have feelings for me that makes my hope up."

" (y/n), hear me first. I-"

" Thanks for the memories that I never experienced before, Akaashi. You really did show the world that a normal girl live. Goodbye." she said while stepping back. She waved her hand slowly, then leave me alone. I didn't even get the chance to reply your confession. I look at her figure that slowly disappear from my sight. I need to chase her, but hearing that I was the cause of her injuries, I can't move. But I need too. I feel like I will lost her forever if I didn't chase her.
