Flowers For a Loved One (Yandere Boy)

Chapter 9

The weekend went by fairly fast, and it was soon Monday again. Hitoshi told me he would drop me off at school and pick me up in order to make sure i'm safe. It seems like a sweet gesture but i'm worried his job will be upset from all this trips during work hours.

"Alice-kun!" Mai yelled rushing towards me in the hallway giving me a huge hug that almost made me tumble to the ground "Where have you been?" she asked as she approached me.

"I know i'm sorry, i've just been so busy moving" i explained

"Moving?" Mai questioned "Are you leaving school?"

"No im just moving into a new place" i explained.

"Oh did your dad get a new job?" she asked beginning to walk with me towards our classroom.

I lowered my eyes, a sense of guilt hit me. I hadn't heard from my father since that day, and i didn't want to hear from him honestly. "I'm moving in with a friend" i told her.

"Is it a boyfriend!?" she teased trying to uplift my mood that had turned sour.

"Uh not really, he's just a friend" i explained.

"What!? You're moving in with a boy that's not even your boyfriend?" she shrieked in shock. I grabbed her arm and pulled her into the girls bathroom, so none of the passerby's could listen to our conversation. "Alice-kun that's extremely dangerous! What if he's a psycho!" she screamed.

"I know but i couldn't stay home anymore and he offered a place to stay" i explained as best as i could without telling her the excruciating details of the darkness that used to be my life.

"If that's the case then why didn't you go to a motel or something?" she continued to question me with her hands on her hips and her eyebrows arching giving me the indication that she was upset.

"I don't have any money, and the school doesn't allow part time jobs" i explained my voice getting lower as i didn't want her to continue to yell at me.

"You should of said something Alice-kun" she said softly grabbing my hands "Why dont you stay with me for a little bit? Until things get better at home then" she said with a smile.

Her offer was very kind but i didn't know if i could accept it. She's right that i didn't know much about Hitoshi to be living with him but i didn't have much of a choice that day. Maybe, Hitoshi will be happy that i found somewhere else to stay so i won't be bothering him anymore, he's already done more than enough.

After school, Hitoshi was right there waiting for me at the entrance. He greeted me with a smile and we began walking home. He asked me about school and i told him it was the same as always, i didn't want to bring up my conversation with Mai until we were back home.

Once we got back to his apartment, i started trying to gather the courage to tell him i was going to move out and stay with a friend. I didn't know how the conversation would go but i'd hoped he would be understanding.

"U-Um H-Hitoshi" i stuttered barely getting the words out, i was extremely nervous.

"Yes, Alice" he responded.

"I was talking to a friend at school today, and she said it was ok for me to stay with her" i explained but i regretted the words coming out my mouth as soon as I saw his expression completely change and his aura turned almost black, his eyes averted my gaze and he made a fist with his hand.

"Am i not good enough for you?" he asked quietly but i could hear the anger and pain in his voice.

"It's not like that" i began saying trying to defend my decision "I just felt like i might be bothering you by staying here".

"Stay with me then" he said coldly.

"H-Huh" i began but he cut me off.

"—Don't leave me" the pain coming through in his voice.

Before i could react to what he was saying he grabbed my arms and pinned me to the wall. "I promised i'd protect you, so let me do that please" he cried starring into my eyes as they filled with tears his grip tightened and my arms began to hurt.

"Histoshi- please" i begged but he ignored my plea.

"You can't leave, Alice. I won't let you" he demanded.

"You're hurting me" i cried so he would let me go but his eyes didn't move.

"Say you won't leave and i'll let go" he responded with his grip getting tighter beginning to bury his nails into my wrist.

"I won't leave!" i screamed so he would let me go. My body collapsed to the ground my wrist bruised from his grip.

He crouched down on the floor, touching my hands softly "I'm sorry, i hurt you" he apologized. Something i've learned about Hitoshi while living with him is that every time he gets mad, he's the first to apologize. Not that he gets mad very often, this was the first time i had seen him mad at me.

"I was so scared you'd leave me" he cried before getting up form the ground going to grab the first aid kit in the bathroom and begin to bandage up my wrist.

"I don't want to bother you while i'm here" i said my voice still shaking from the events that just happened.

"I want you here, Alice" he explained grabbing my shoulders and looking into my eyes. His eyes were filled with so much pain, pain i'd wish to just make go away for him. "I need you here with me" he added.

"I-I'm sorry, i won't leave" i said caressing his cheek, a tear started to fall down his cheek so I wiped away. He grabbed me by my waist and held me in his embrace. He began to cry into my shoulder, holding me tightly.

Hitoshi can be a bit of a baby sometimes, throwing tantrums when they take his toy away. I guess that would make me the toy, i hope he sees me as something more than that.
