So some people might already know me and other might not, but I am kawaiiidolworld-san! This is my first story published here, but I have many more. Hopefully I post this up correctly and some may have already read it, but enjoy another reread
Nezumi stood in the school roof. Alone… It was a fall day and the sun was already setting, but Nezumi still haven’t gone home. It had been a while since she last stood there alone. Usually Center stood be her side, but Center was gone. Now, Nezumi felt empty, alone, and deserted. Tears began to pour though her eyes as her memories became unbearable. Nezumi couldn’t accept that now Center only lived in her memories. It was too much. They had it all. A strong solid genuine friendship, they were the top of the school, and they were in love. But that was before. Before the tragic accident that took Center’s life. An accident that was her fault. Nezumi began to sob out loud as she recalled her last memory with her best friend and lover.
“Nezumi, have you ever been in love?” Center asked suddenly as the two girls walked home from school. Nezumi was surprised at her sudden question. Love was hardly mentioned in Majisuka Gakuen, their all girl’s school. “Ehh, why that question all of a sudden?” Nezumi asked bewildered. Center simply smiled and replied, “Who knows? I been thinking about it for a while. About love.” “That sounds so… unlike you,” Nezumi admitted. Nezumi wondered why Center would bring up that topic all of a sudden. It made her nervous for some reason. The topic of love. It was a foreign concept for her who had a hard time dealing with other people. In fact Center was the only person she was actually herself with. “It does, doesn’t it? Maybe I am in love?” Center wondered lost in thought. Nezumi frown. Center in love? For some reason that worried her. Immensely. If Center was in love with someone what would happen to them two of them?
“Love is a pretty strong word,” Nezumi said nervously. Nezumi didn’t understand why the whole thing made her nervous. Center was free to like whoever she liked right? That had nothing to do with Nezumi, yet somehow it was bothering her. “It is isn’t it? But, you wouldn’t understand when I am with that person I feel so happy, and I would do anything to see that person smile,” Center explained with a smile. Nezumi began to feel jealous. Who could be so worthly of Center’s love? Why were they so special that Center would do anything to make them smile? Nezumi felt as if someone ripped her heart in two except that could only mean one thing. Something Nezumi wasn’t sure she was ready to accept. “There’s no one of is worthy of that in this loser Yanakee school,” Nezumi spat bitterly. Center looked surprised at Nezumi’s passive aggressive response. “There is one person! I swear she’s different. She’s smart, funny, and cute. I love her,” Center told her. “And I hate her!” Nezumi screamed and began to run.
Without thinking Nezumi ran to a road with oncoming traffic. Center followed her worried. Finally, Center caught up to her when a car was speding toward them. Center reacted quickly pushing Nezumi out of the way, but Center wasn’t so lucky. Nezumi screamed as she watched the car make impact. “CENTER! JURINA!” Nezumi shrieked using Center’s real name and ran toward Center’s side. “Are you okay?” Center asked and ran her figures though Nezumi’s hair trying to soothe her. Nezumi began to sob now, and cried, “Why? Why?” “Because I would do anything for you. I would do anything to make you smile,” Center said weakly before passing out.
Nezumi eyes widen as she realized how stupid she been. Center had been trying to confess to her, and she ruined everything by misunderstanding and running off. Nezumi rode the ambulance with Center holding her hand tightly. Center woke up shortly after arriving at the hospital. “I am fine,” she must of insisted about twenty times. Center refused all pain medication, but was stuck in the hospital for overnight observation. Nezumi was relieved that Center was fine. “Sorry,” Nezumi said once again. The two girls were in Center’s hospital room. Nezumi had bribed the nurse into letting her stay overnight with Center. Money had its perks. “Don’t worry about it,” Center insisted. Center patted the hospital bed she was sitting in and gesture for Nezumi to sit there.
Nezumi did as she was told and sat there. Center pulled her into a huge hug. Nezumi’s eyes widen in surprised as Center held her tight. “Nezumi, you scared me to death! Don’t ever do that again!” Center exclaimed. Finally, Center pulled away from the embrace and put her hand on Nezumi’s cheek, Nezumi trembled as she felt Center gentle hand on her cheek. “I am afraid you misunderstood me. Nezumi, it’s you I am in love with,” Center said. Nezumi turned bright red and was unsure of how to react. “I…. lo…” Nezumi started to say, but was cut off by Center’s soft lips.
At first Nezumi froze as she felt warm lips against hers, but then began to kiss Center back. Nezumi put her arms around Center’s neck and pulled her closer as Center deepen the kiss. Nezumi felt breathless, yet she never felt more alive as her lips begged for more of Center’s soft lips. Nezumi’s heart was pounding under her chest and she could hear Center’s heart as well. Finally, Nezumi pulled away out of breath. Center flashed her the warm goofy smile she loved. “I love you too,” Nezumi whispered softly. Jurina grinned and gave her one last peck in her lips. Then, Jurina laid her head in Nezumi’s lap, and said, “Let’s go for a date tomorrow you and I.” “Okay,” Nezumi responsed. Nezumi ran her hands through Jurina soft black hair. They remained that way for a while until Nezumi’s legs began to fall asleep.
“Mmm, Center my legs fell asleep,” Nezumi said. No response. “Center?” Nezumi asked. Something was wrong. Nezumi shock Center’s arm and screamed. Center was ice cold. Center had no pulse. Center’s eyes were blank and emotionless. Center was dead. It took three nurses to pull Nezumi away. Nezumi couldn’t stop screaming. The world began to spin in circles. Nezumi wondered if she had gone insane. Center couldn’t be dead. It had to be a joke a cruel joke except it wasn’t.
Nezumi was sure that there wasn’t a worst hell than what she was living at the moment. There’s no smile if you’re aren’t here, Nezumi thought bitterly. Nezumi couldn’t cry anymore. She couldn’t scream anymore. She wondered why. Nezumi saw two girls laughing from the roof and bitterly thought how could they be so happy? Center is dead. Nezumi wondered if she died could she meet Center? Maybe not, but why not take the chance? Her life was pointless anyways. Might as well end it all. Might as well end her pain. There was no point in living her life if Center wasn’t a part of it. Nezumi got on the edge of the roof. She was about to jump when a paper airplane caught her eye. Curious Nezumi picked it up. There was writing in it.
Nezumi Sorry I am afraid I can’t make it to our date… I am sorry for everything. Don’t forget you have to live seriously for me from now on.Nezumi began to cry once more. It was a miracle. Even in heaven Center was still looking out for her.
