http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=38331.msg1325695#msg1325695Growing UpGuilt and remorse came an hour later after Jurina yelled at Rena. It didn’t feel so good.
She sat on the beach, looking at the dark ocean alone, hugging her knees. It was summer and the weather was warm. The night breeze was pleasant,
comforting and almost felt like it was lulling her to sleep. But her mind was occupied by the look of Rena’s face when she scolded her. Rena was
surprised and then a glimpse of sadness before she turned away and left. It was typical of her to do that, to runaway on an argument. She cries easily
and that was the reason she didn’t want to stay in a long debate for too long.
It all started when Jurina came back to the hotel one hour before midnight when she should’ve been back at eight. The nation’s rule stated that a girl in
her age should finish any entertainment activity and return to wherever she was staying the night before nine. Jurina obeyed the rule but she didn’t go
back to her hotel. Instead, she followed her older friends to a club a few blocks away.
She did nothing outrageous, of course, since she realized that she was an idol with a burden of maintaining her image to every single person in the
country. But she did take a few sips of beer which she obviously wasn’t allowed to. The alcohol didn’t make her drunk or became less of herself and she
thought that no one would notice when she return to the hotel. But Rena did. She smelled the beer from her breath.
Rena gave Jurina a lecture, five minutes long. It started slow at the beginning but when Jurina talked back at her, Rena raised her voice a little. And
Jurina, the rude kid, raised her voice louder. She was not drunk, not at all, but she hated being treated like a kid. Although, she later realized that she
was still a kid after all.
Rena’s anger was not caused by nothing, she was scared that something would happen to Jurina. That, Jurina realized a little too late. After Rena turned
her back on her, sobbing a little and slammed her door, Jurina knew that she had gone over the line.
She refused to go after Rena to apologize and instead went out to the beach to vent out. After an hour of thinking, her logic came to a conclusion:
everything was her fault. But she was seventeen, an awkward age where adolescent and adulthood collides. She refused to say sorry. She had more
pride than that.
Deep down inside her heart, though, a tiny part of it, was saying that she should apologize. Because Rena was not just a friend, she was special. Too
special. Then her mind answered her heart: because Rena was special, she didn’t need to apologize. Rena would understand.
But what if she was not going to understand?
Jurina had been this way since the first day she joined the 48 Family and Rena had been so patience with her. What if she decided that she no longer
care? That she had enough? What if she left?
Fear began to creep up her stomach, twisting it and making her nauseous. She didn’t want to lose Rena.
Jurina got up on her feet, turned on her heels and was about to rush to the hotel when she saw Rena at the distance. She was walking toward her.
“Rena-chan?”
Rena stopped a few steps away. “What are you doing here? I’ve been looking everywhere for you?”
Jurina took a huge gulp of her own saliva.
“Are you okay?”
Me? Am I okay? I should be asking you, Rena. Not the other way around.“I’m fine.”
“Let’s go back,” said Rena, beckoning her with her pale skinned hand.
Jurina walked in silence. She let Rena led the way and when they almost out of the sandy area, the older girl turned around to look at her.
“I’m sorry,” she said.
Jurina held her breath. “What?”
“I’m sorry for being upset.”
Jurina quickly shook her head. “No.”
“No?”
Jurina looked away and stared at the sand instead. “I’m sorry. I’m the one screwed up.”
“You’re young,” said Rena. “You’re supposed to screw up.”
Jurina looked up, staring Rena deeply into her eyes. “Rena-chan.”
“Yes.”
“I am a kid,” said Jurina and then she paused for a second. “I am a kid and I assure you that I will make more stupid things, more idiotic mistakes.”
Rena opened her mouth, about to say something, but Jurina stopped her.
“But I hope… I hope that you will be able to put up with me. To be angry with me whenever I mess up, to scold me every time I disappoint you. And I’m
sorry for all the things I might do later on. So don’t go away. Don’t turn your back on me. Don’t leave me alone.”
The younger girl let out a long sigh. “Please… stay with me until I’m old enough to not let you down anymore.”
Rena didn’t know what to say after that. Jurina was panting as if she just did a three miles lap. She could see that the young girl put a lot of effort into
the sentences she just said. It was sweet. Rena smiled.
“Come here,” Rena took Jurina’s hand. “You’re young but you’re not a kid. No kid would say something like that.”
Jurina squeezed Rena’s hand gently and walked to her side.
“You’re growing up,” Rena said with a very wide smile. “I’m glad I’m here to witness that. And I will be there for every growing up moment you will go
through.”
“Seriously? Because I’m asking you seriously.”
“Absolutely. You are stuck with me, Jurina. As I’m with you.”
Jurina smiled and tightened her grip on Rena’s hand. They walked hand in hand to the hotel, so close to each other. She had to let Rena go when they
reached her room. Rena gave Jurina a peck on the cheek and wished her goodnight before retreating to her own room.
“Good night,” Jurina whispered at the closed door of Rena’s room.
