Rhythm: Part 10 (Sero)

"I should have never danced with you." I said, and that one hurt the most. I looked up at Sero, and he was crying. He backed away from me, and put his hand to his mouth. 

I didn't say anything else and I rushed out of the classroom, slamming the door shut behind me.

"Now, that." I heard behind me. I turned to see Tony leaning against the wall. "Was what I call entertainment." 

He walked up to me and wiped the tears that were running down my face away.

"Don't worry." He told me. "Even though you talked to him, I won't punish you for that. I think you did that yourself."

After that I could hear crying coming from the classroom, where I left Sero. Tony smirked before he walked down the hallway and disappeared around the corner. 

I felt paralyzed. The sound of Sero crying was ringing through the halls, but I couldn't go to him. Not now. Not after what I did.

Finally I willed myself to move down the hallway and I ran all the way to the dorms. I crashed on my bed, and cried into my pillow as I slowly started writing a text. It took so long to write cause I couldn't see through my tears.

'Gabby, I really fucked up.'

I texted her.

'What happened?'

She replied after a minute. I texted her the entire story of what happened, and she didn't respond. 

'Y/n, I'm going to be honest. I don't know what to say. Dancing means a lot to Sero, I know you've seen it. It means a lot to us as a family, it's almost a third language for us.'

'I know.'

'And I've never seen Sero dance as passionately as he dances with you.'

'I know.'

'Don't worry sweetie, we're going to fix this. I promise we're going to figure this out.'

'I don't think we can fix it now.'

I texted her, and it felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest.

'I can't fix it.'

I told her and then I turned my phone off. 

I didn't want to talk to anyone now. I didn't want to open my mouth again, only to hurt someone else. 

I couldn't tell if I wanted to punch something, or have someone punch me. I was so mad, and sad at the same time. How could I say that? Dancing with Sero has been the greatest part of my life. 

How did those words just come flying out of my mouth like that? How could I say that, like it really meant nothing to me?

But it wasn't easy. I was laying on my bed, dealing with how easy it wasn't. 

I fucked up. And this was a fuck up, that couldn't be fixed. 

I ruined whatever relationship I had with Sero. I had been falling for him, stumbling over my own two feet for him. And he had been there to catch me.

But this time when he stumbled, I let him fall.
