"A voice hide the pain, what the heart bare the sting alone"

The sound of the doors being slammed was heard as a small figure ran towards the center of the room, throwing herself onto the soft pillows as she let out a few cries silently.

❝What's wrong with him?! How could he do that to me!❞

The room was silenced as the only source of sound was coming from the little girl's sobs.

Seconds turn to minutes, minutes turn to hours.

Before she knew it, she have fell asleep entering a world of imaginations or is it?

「??? 's POV」

Nothing.

No light, No sound.

No words, No voice.

No clues of where I am.

No knowledge of who I am.

No ideas of why I was ever born.

Who am I?

Where I am?

Why was I ever born to the world?

I tried to reach out to anything within the darkness, searching for a source of light.

I want to get out of this endless darkness.

I feels cold and empty inside.

Should I just give up?

No one will miss me for sure...

I felt the hope of getting out here was slowly yet surely fading away, dropping my outstretched hand.

Why did I ever bother?

Why should I care...?

I felt hopeless and I was ready to put myself to a endless slumber.

I wouldn't be suffering anymore.

Black spots appears within my vision as the shadows of the darkness wrapping themselves around me.

Just when I was ready to end it all...

❝Umi!❞

A voice cries out and that was when a hand grabs mine.

Wait...a hand...?

I'm not sure whose hand belong to but it was warm and welcoming, enough to warm up the cold and empty feelings within my heart.

It was as if this unknown person was important to me as much as I was important to them else well somehow...

Is this person used to be apart of my life?

I couldn't remember much but somehow deep down, I didn't want to let's go of their hand.

I tighter my grip on this person's hand, not wanting to be alone anymore.

I've realize their hand was bigger than mine which give me a good vibes of this person's hand held my smaller one in a protect manner...

Who was this person?

I...

Before I could finish what I was going to say.

Suddenly, the pitch black room was soon be replace by the blazing lights, blinding my sight of vision that instantly knocking me out  within the few moments when the light come into my world...

❝Umi, wake up!❞

I groaned as the blazing sunlight strikes down upon me, temporarily blinding my eyes from seeing what was going on.

I raise my hand to block the sunlights from getting into my eyes, trying to find out where I was and that voice...

❝What were you thinking? I was looking for you the whole day because you weren't there at practice today...❞

How long I was out for?

The owner of this voice sound pretty worries...? It's sound so familiar but I can't remember where I first heard this voice from...

I was determined to found out, when the sunlights have fading away from blinding my eyes, I turn to face the owner of the voice.

It was a boy probably around my age, he has straight, dark red hair and a pair of dark teal eyes. He is smiling so brightly enough to make my eyes go blind and my cheeks start heating up for no reasons, avoiding of making eye contact with him.

What's up with me?

I feel so... weird...

Do I know this boy? He seems to know me though...

❝Come on, we're going to be late for practice!❞

❝W-Wah, wait...!❞

❝You're taking so much time if you kept acting like this, come here❞

❝H-H-Hey, put me down...!❞

❝Why not? It will be faster this way❞

❝B-But this is so embarrassing...❞

I covered my face on his chest, not wanting him to see what he have caused. I didn't want to look down but his arms behind my back and under my legs told me that I was safe and sound as long as he's here.

❝There's nothing to be embarrassed about because it's normal for us!❞

❝N-N-N-Normal?! Only lovers would do this!!❞

❝Yeah, that's the point! We did made a promise to each other, don't you remember it?❞

❝...What promise?❞

I raise my face to meet eyes to eyes with his as there was only one thing that could describe my expression right now; confused

He chuckles at this.

He look... cute

Wait, what?!

Snap yourself out of it, Reina!

I almost want to pinch myself to think like that especially it was caused by a boy...

❝Our promise is--❞

I didn't get to hear what he have to say next because all of the sudden, he was cut off as he froze but it wasn't just him but everything around us have completely stopped moving, everything start scattering into pieces as darkness take over my vision.

I couldn't scream

I couldn't hear

I couldn't move

Everything around me was blank as the darkness itself.

When I blink twice, a fading light show up. Lighter up the darkness of this void of emptiness, I slowly reach out for it.

I want to get out of here.

I want to see the light.

I want to see... him again.

The moment when one of my fingers touched the surface of the light, its suddenly burst out turning into fireworks as the darkness vanished once again but instead of a bright sunny day like before.

What I saw... made my heart stop beating.

My heart feel heavy as it was really hard for me to breath properly...

This can't be happening right...?

In front of me was the boy that I was looking for, this whole time but the pool of red on his plain white shirt was what caught my attention causing tears to build up at the corners of my eyes.

God, please tell me this is just a dream!

No, he can't just leave me behind like this!

He was holding onto my hand tightly as he cough up blood, weakly looking at me with every last strength he have left.

❝I'm s-sorry...❞

That was when his eyes shut themselves close, losing his grip on my hand as all the colors drank away from his face

❀ ❀ ❀

❝No, don't leave me again!!❞ I gasps, I realize I was in my bed room again with me staring into the white celling as I felt some sweats dropping across my cheeks. I raise my palm to touched one of my cheeks but to only to found a wet sensation.

Was I crying in my sleep...?

I turn to glance outside of the window that was near to the bed, seeing it was probably  around midnight already. Judging from how dark it is from the outside.

❝Who was that boy...?❞

My heart ache so much that I have to place my hand on my chest where my heart is located, it's hurt so much and I don't know nor understand why I'm feeling like this...

One day, you will found out the truth.
