I wake up to the sound of music coming from my right, realizing someone's calling I immediately pick up.

"...." I don't say anything, waiting for the person on the other line to say something

"You know, you are quite the pitiful being arn't you?" I recognized her as the girl from yesterday, Meinu, wasn't it?

"..." I stayed quiet, not wanting her to know she's getting to me.

"You won't be needed anymore∼ because, Shou promised to spend the day with me∼ and I promise to always over ruin any of your precious quality time∼ So, you can go∼" she told me over the phone, I could feel so many different emotions building up inside of me.

I couldn't help but let a lone fear streak down my face. After everything, I'm thrown away like trash. At one point I was needed, but after you complete your task, you're nothing. Just. Like. Trash.

"..." I continued my silent act. After all, that's all I'm good for.

"Hmm? Still want to be quiet eh? Well then, just listen, the worst is coming. And when it does, you'll be-"

I hung up on her. To be honest, I never really liked monologuing. I guess I listened because- Wait... Why was I listening? Why am I weak? It's because, of Shou isn't it...? I used o be alot stronger, I've become soft. I need to regain that. And that starts with dealing with the task at hand,

Dealing with these feelings and forgetting Shou...

|| Breakfast ||
|| 06:36 ||

  I don't know how anyone can eat breakfast alone. It's miserable, I hate the sound of soft eating echo through the kitchen. I feel like it's a weird thing to hear. If I wear to hear it, I would hear it in a pair. It made me feel less alone.

Don't get me wrong, I'm fairly used to being alone, but... I'm just. In a bad mood I guess, weekends were ment for me and Shou. But, if I can't even spend a nice breakfast with my best friend, my only friend... How could I feel important, special, worth something a little more than trash!?

I feel horrible, but I guess that's what I get for being insecure. If I was more like Shou, then maybe I could have made friends... Then maybe, I would never have to face the reality of my saddness.

But, wait. I remember, always. Why I stick around, why I'm alone, why I.... Do what I do. What I did.... I can never forget my sin. And if, time does still help heal scars. Mine are to deep to heal from. To far gone to help. And, if they ever did find out. I already have prepared myself for what's to come. I have to.

|| Bedroom ||
| 07:23 |

  I lay still my bed, sunday's have always been a bore... I stare up at the ceiling, it's white, just like the majority of my room. I really like monochrome colours, I kinda realized that I was kinda a boring person...

'No wonder Shou-' after I realized I was ranting and pitying myself, I immediately wiped the thought away from my consciousness. Well, I tried. Of course I couldn't forget the charcoal haired best friend I've had for years. My house is paid for by his parents. I owe alot too him. And I promised to protect him didn't I?

  I won't stop protecting him... That's the promise I made to them, wasn't it...

Then, isn't laying here trying to forget.... Breaking the promise? Then... I'll have to apologize. I have to apologize to her and to him for... Nothing... This is a promise. And I am a lady of my word. And... I can't really let his cute smile be hurt, can I?

I sit up fron my bed, determined more than anything. Because well, I can't let Shou have a good time with her. Now can I?

So, I pick up my phone, go to my contacts, see two contacts. And press the one labeled 'Shoe'...

| RINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG |

I wait, I know Shou let's his phone ring once or twice because he likes the song he has on his ringtone, so, I'm not that worried.

| RINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGG|
| RINNNNNNNNNNNNG |

That's odd... He would usually pick up by now, no internet? No, impossible, he has data... Maybe... He's spending time with her, Meinu...

| RINNNNNNNG |

The name of that girl, puts bitter memories in my head...

| RINNNNG |

Bitter taste in my mouth...

| RING |

And a sick feeling all throughout my body... But, that could just be her thick cloud of perfume she wears to breakfast! A who does that!?

| "Sorry, but Shou could not be reached at this current time, to leave a message wait for the beep. Beep." |

"Hey.... sorry... I know I shouldn't of....... Done that... I'm... sorry. but, it was... our day... not there's... So... Bye.... Please text me soon..."

| Beep |

I said as I ended the message. It's ether he's busy, or doesn't want to talk to me. And none of those anwsers are good ones...

But, I made a promise. And for my feelings and for those I have promised to, I will find them!

| The Suzuki Residence |
| 10:34 |

I rung the doorbell, it's the only way to get his attention. It's quite a loud ring, it can be heard from every inch of the house. I just never use it because he doesn't like rushing of the toilet in a hurry to anwser the door. So he told me to only use it for emergencys. So, if he is mad at me, he'll still open the door thinking it's someone different because well, he doesn't exactly know me to be the confronting kind of person. If you ask me, I think he actually thinks I don't care enough to confront people.

But, alas, that's wrong. I wish I didn't care. But, Shou's just to cute not to care about.

  I hear foot steps from the other side, only to have the door swung open to find Meinu... now that we're standing face to face, I realized, I'm shorter than her. Crap, and there goes a factor of fear. But, thankfully, that's not why people who have heard of me get scared. It for real reasons... But, for people like her, a good glare should be enough. I actually learned how to give a menacing fangirl vibe from the music club leader, she likes this Korean band called... What was it? STB? I don't remember... But, she liked this one member and taught me how to do it silently. Because well, she thought I was mute and to be fair, I did only really communicate with her through a writing pad a used at the time.

"So you decided to show up, huh?∼You've got more guts than I thought∼" She said as she looked down on me, smirking like the devil she is. I scrunch my nose a little, inhaling the cloud of perfume she has as a pet. On the outside, I look like a dangerous fangirl. But, on the inside, I'm dying from her perfume. Coughing is all my subconscious could think about as I stumbled to get words out of my mouth.

"Let me... See... Shou." I told her quietly, keeping up the aura around me as she leaned on the door frame,

"And little miss studder, what happens if I don't?∼" She says in a confident flirtatious voice, making me want to puke more. Already having her in his house is nauseating me, not counting the perfume!

I stayed silent, thinking about what I should say. Remembering my training with my Sensei, hurting her seriously would be no problem. But, the consequences of that action are bad... I have to think of a way to see him and get rid of her.

"This." I said as I picked her stomach, her immediately grabbing her stomach, leaving her bended forwards. I take the opportunity and jab my fingers into the pressure point right above her collar bone. Sending her to the ground and in pain. I use her as a doormat and gracefully walk on-top of her entering the house.

"Shou...." I say quietly, trying to say it louder. But, any signs that would've been heard has muted from the sounds of pain coming from Meinu.

I grow weary and worried, could he be hidden from me? Was he mad? Sad? Angry??? Who knows, but, as I wandered down the halls of his house, I heard moving coming from what I know as the towel closet....

I open it to find.....
