@mo-chan: are we sure about that? This final chapter will say it in a very fast moving fic
@kahem: I don't blame you
it was meant to become confusing until the end when the truth ends up being the alternative
@Shinoki: Maybe? We may never know
@cisda: There was a reason for all the characters to appear. Just in a different point of time
Part 13 (Final)
My mind became consumed by the terror of her face. I couldn’t pinpoint the reason but it seemed surreal that I had her in my dream. Jurina tried to draw me back but the pod was telling me to come back but I didn’t want to finish that dream. Suddenly, an ache came through my leg, paralyzing me in that spot.
“Mayuyu, are you okay?”
“It’s fine. I must have taken a weird step.” I said as the pain became unbearable and I took a seat on the grass.
“I’ll massage it for you.”
Jurina was a weird person but still helpful. She placed her cold hands on my legs and slowly rubbed it in a clockwise motion. The soothing relief came instantly but my thoughts were still with her. There had to be something I knew her from and why. The sudden rush quickly went away as she escorted me home.
Grabbing the first album, I flipped through the pictures of my youth and then stopped a peculiar picture. It was a two-shot of Yukirin and me. I peeled off the protective covering and looked at the date behind the picture. Three years ago, I was friends with her. What happened? Why did she chase me away? My questions seemed to fill the box with random thoughts and I decided to write it down onto a notepad.
After an hour, every question seemed to scribble out my concerns. Three pages of concerns. It consumed my time to the point of not answering calls from Jurina. I looked at the phone with concern and flipped it open to see the two messages. Anger filled rants seemed to make me forget of our relationship. Honestly, I didn’t remember we had three months of kisses and hugs. She let me have it and pressed on her phone number.
“Jurina, I’m so sorry.”
“Why are you sorry?”
“I didn’t remember anything about our relationship. I have been busy.”
“Rena is with me anyway.”
My heart sank into my stomach. Cursed for my thoughts. My throat had gone dry for a moment and the air seemed to grow heavy around me. Still holding the phone, I tried to think of something in my mind to soothe the wound.
“Tell Rena to take care of you.”
“WHAT!!!!!”
“I can’t make you forgive me. I have done a lot of stupid things and this was a mistake. Happy three month anniversary.”
I hung up quickly and removed her number. It seemed to be the right thing and I folded the pages into a neat square. I looked around the room ready to announce my intention to leave but the emptiness was shocking to me. What happened to my parents? They must have gone out I thought. I wrote out a note for them and left it on the table as usual before locking up the house.
I passed by Jurina’s house and looked up at the second floor window. I saw her in the arms of her partner. I pitied her for getting dumped but I pitied more of my health. Walking toward the city, I saw her again with a coat wrapping her slender body with the hood covering her head. I furiously pressed the button to cross the street and when it turned I rushed over to meet her.
“What are you doing here?”
“I remembered you.”
“From where?”
“You used to be my friend but I don’t remember why we are not now.”
She pushed me to the side but I grabbed the back end of her jacket. Pulling her with all my might, she threw her fist but missed its target.
“Why are you holding me back? I don’t want to see you.”
“Answer me.”
She let out a grunt and took out a newspaper article from the jacket pocket. I scanned it quickly and felt my heart drop like a cement block into the river.
“This is a car accident.”
“I was the driver in this accident. It killed two people. It should have killed three.”
“Who was the third person?”
Her face was covered by her hands and I looked at the article again. There were two names. It was my parents. My body felt drained from reading the article again and fell down to my knees.
“It was you.”
“Why do I not feel angry?”
“You have amnesia because of the brain injury you suffered. You were in the hospital for six months before a friend had picked you up and took care of you.”
“Okay. Let me see your wrists.”
I moved the sleeves up and felt etches in her skin. The dream was slowly piecing together the truth and instantly I wrapped my arms around her body.
“Mayu, please stop doing this. It only hurts me to see you like this.”
“I love you. I was meant to love you. I don’t care if you did this but you are the only one for me.”
“Mayu, please go.”
“No, I won’t.”
Yukirin gave into the embrace and held me close as she let her frustrations relieve the pain within her. I took out the folded note and threw it into the street.
“I’m a fool.”
