Chapter Fourteen
I miss you?... Who is this boy??? I was scared at first but when I saw him, I was calm. I walk over to my study desk and grab a notepad and pen. I walk back to the window and write,"Who are you and what's your name." He shakes his head and pulls out a notepad of his own and writes a message. Despite being in the rain, his message was clear enough for me to read. "No, it's okay. If you forgot about me, then I understand. I am the person who has been supporting your mother and you." He was leaning his forehead on the window. I look into his eyes and I couldn't tell if he was crying because if the rain but he was smiling a slight smile.
I write a new message to this angelic boy,"Really?!?! You're the one supporting my mother and I?!? Thank you so much!! It was tough moving to the new house but thanks to you I settled in quite well. Thanks to you, my mother and I are living happily." He writes his message and it reads,"You're welcome."
"Can I ask you a favor, mysterious, angelic boy?"
"What is it?"
"My wedding is coming up. Can you help me make it the most happiest moment in my life?" He writes his message,"Sure, I will do anything to make you happy." I smile at his answer but when I looked at him again, that smile was gone. He writes back to me telling me that he was leaving. He jumps off the roof and lands onto the the roof adjacent to my house. I see him run off, leaping from rooftop to rooftop in the harsh weather. Thank you mysterious boy... I will make sure to thank you properly.
I go to sleep, with the happiest feeling I ever experienced. I met the person who has supported my mom and I all these years. If only you just told me your name.... Next morning, I went to class with a very happy attitude and expression. My new friends saw me smiling like this and they had to ask what happened. "Celestia, what happen to you?" One of them asks.
"You know how I everything in my life is going with ease and how I felt like someone was supporting my mom and I, right?"
"Right..."
"I happen to meet the guy who was supporting us."
"Oh! How's the person like? How did he look?"
"I don't know... We only spoke through words written on pieces of paper from one side of the window to the next."
"You guys are neighbors???"
"No. I meant he was outside my bedroom window and it was raining really hard. And we just wrote to each other."
"But there was a storm yesterday night, are saying he was in the cold wet rain while you were inside your cozy and warm room???"
"Yeah..."
"That's mean! You could've invited him in."
"He looked like the rain didn't bother him so I didn't ask."
"Jeez... that's cold. Anyway, how did he look?"
"He was wearing some really weird clothes but he had silver hair and starry eyes."
"Silver hair and starry eyes huh...."
"Do you know him?"
"No I never heard or seen a person like that."
"I see but we should get going or we will be late for class."
"You're right! Let's get going!" After our conversation, we were running to class." After classes, I headed home. On my way home, I saw him running on rooftops again. "Hoy! Wait for me!" I followed him and saw where he dropped down. It looks he dropped down in this alleyway. I turn in from the corner and I couldn't believe it. He was standing across a dog but the dog looked different. It was a disfigured and some parts of its flesh were gone. A dark purple aura emanated from it and it was snarling at him. The silver haired boy was standing across the snarling demonic dog with a katana held in his hand. He charges the dog and fights it. He defeats the dog and the body vanished into thin air. He was standing up straight and sheathes his sword. I continue to watch from a far and see him fall to his knees and cry. Tears were coming down nonstop.
I take out my handkerchief and walk to the crying silver haired boy. I held out my handkerchief so that he can use it to wipe away the tears. He notices me and slowly looks my way. When he saw my face, he got up and ran away from me. "W-wait!..." What did I do wrong? I put my handkerchief away and continue to walk home.
*Fast Forward & Present Day*
After my date with my fiancé, he sends me back home in a taxi. The taxi goes by a park and I saw my friend from Saiyumi Junior High and the silver hairs boy talk underneath a streetlight. I tell the taxi driver to stop here and I got out. I hid behind some bushes and eavesdrop on them.
(Her friends and silver haired boy conversation.)
"Are you really fine seeing her getting married?
You love her still, don't you?
Then why are you letting her go!?
That's why!?
You're letting her go because she found someone who she can be happy with!?! What about your happiness!?!
You don't need it... So it's okay just to see her be happy, right?
This is not right! You even told her it's okay to forget about you. You two made a promise to remember each other forever! I thought you two would be the ones to be living happy life. Everyone back in junior high even said that. It was going to be you two. Skylar..... are you sure about this? I can tell that your heart is broken. You even broke a plate when you heard her say yes to the proposal back at that restaurant. I can't imagine what you went through, supporting her and seeing her be happy while you got hurt and couldn't do anything about it because you have no voice. It's not fair... She even wanted to end your suffering but instead, she's adding more to it. It's okay to cry. You hadn't cry ever since she said yes to him. You held everything in up until now."
Skylar...... why does that name sound familiar... Dull and colorless images begin to come back to me. Skylar... I mutter the name like a chant and try to remember why it sounds so familiar. "I know your listening on our conversation! Come on out!!" I couldn't lie to my best friend back in junior high. I slowly come out behind the bushes. My friend was shock to see me. "Celestia....." He notices my name being said from my friend. He carries her in his arms and runs away from me.
I took another taxi to get home. I enter my house feeling lost and my mother calls me from the kitchen. "Celestia, can you come here for a minute?"
"Okay..." I walk into the kitchen and sit across the from her. "What is it?"
"I got some bad news...."
"What is it?..."
"It seems like your father died." I was shock to hear that. First was that name and then my father. "Dad died?..."
"Mmhmm. Skylar came by and gave me his notice. I see why Skylar was supporting us and protecting you."
"What do you mean?"
"I didn't tell you this but your father is also a demon hunter. Just like Skylar. He was his teacher when Skylar was young. Those two were really close just like father and son but not related. Skylar was an orphan and you're father took him in and taught him the ways to become a demon hunter. Your father's last request asked him to protect and support us. I can see why he transferred into Saiyumi a few years ago."
"Mom... whose Skylar... And how does he look like"
"Huh??? You forgot about him??? He was your first love back in Saiyumi. He's not that hard to find really. He has silver hair and and eyes that resemble the night and starry sky. He's a mute and only communicates through a sketchbook or notepad." Silver haired... starry eyes... The same images keep coming back and with very little color to it. "Mom..."
"Yes?"
"I think I did something horrible to him without realizing it..."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know. I can't even recall him."
"I see." I walk back to my room and change into my pajamas. I went to sleep trying to recall him. In my dream, I only had a glimpse of something that was terrifying. On my wedding day, I would see him standing at the end of the aisle crying but smiling. At that moment, I recall everything about him.
He was smiling because I found someone that I can live with and stay happy but he's crying because he was letting go the only one person he truly loved. I wake up from my dream and cry my heart out. What have I done to him?
