Unforgettable: Part Two

16

my mom told me it was fine if I didn't want to go to school that day, knowing me, if I were to skip one day I would probably skip the rest of the month. i knew kai wouldn't want that so I went anyways.

time skip 1 week ~

it's been a week since kairi left and he hasn't responded to any of my calls or messages, he would read them, but wouldn't respond. i woke up that morning and let my alarm go off till it stopped by itself. i went back to sleep and when i woke up i realized i was about 30 minutes late to class. i rolled my eyes and finally got up to go to class. i got ready and and walked into class without even looking at aizawa, or anyone at that.

aizawa: why are you la-
eli: because I am, just mark me as tardy or absent I don't really care.
aizawa: excuse me-
eli: kairi won't be coming back to school. he moved. just thought i'd let you know.

I had a lump in my throat and somehow everything I said would come out in a minor whisper. ever since the day at the airport, I felt as though my heart started to get cold, like I had stopped caring about anything, or anyone.

aizawa: ...

aizawa continued with the class lecture and there I was, in my head trying to convince myself that somehow all of this was just a really, really long nightmare. though deep down I knew that all of this was as real as it got. it was lunch time now and I was walking over to kairis desk but I stopped half way

eli: ha..

I had subconsciously walked to his desk, like I did every afternoon. I turned back around and walked out of the classroom with andy, dylan, and aizawa looking at me. I walked down the hall and heard a few footsteps dashing towards me

dylan: arely!
andy: wait up!

dylan glared at andy and shoved him to the side, getting to me first

dylan: uh.. are you okay?
eli: ...

i ignored him but he didn't get the clue

dylan: i'm talking to you-
eli: why the hell do you care, didn't you hate me? why was that again? because you had an issue with my dad? oh and you're the same bitch who tried humiliating me in front of the cafeteria right? pathetic, get away from me.
andy: ...
dylan: ...

I walked off and went to go sit on the roof for a change of scenery. my mom told me that she used to spend her lunches up there with uncle shoto and my dad.

eli: now what..

I sighed and hugged my knees

midoriya: we meet again

I looked up to see deku

eli: oh, hey
midoriya: what are you doing up here alone?
eli: well I don't really have anyone else to hang out with right now
midoriya: why not? where's kairi? is he out sick?
eli: ..something like that
midoriya: ...well, i'll keep you company

he walked over to come sit next to me

midoriya: so did he move?

my eyes widened

eli: ..how'd you know
midoriya: you really think todoroki wasn't going to tell me
eli: oh, right, you guys are besties
midoriya: besties

he laughed at my comment

midoriya: wrist

I sighed and pulled up my sleeves showing him my wrists

midoriya: look at that! you kept your promise! i'm proud of you

he put his arm over me and hugged me, I chuckled and hugged him back

eli: how do you always manage to show up when i'm like this..
midoriya: spidey senses
eli: you're dumb, it should be deku senses
midoriya: mmm no, spidey senses sounds better
eli: yeah, you're right

we both chuckled and for the rest of lunch we talked about random stuff, it was the first time I had felt happy in a while. the bell rung and it was time to part ways again

midoriya: that's my cue, i'll see you around
eli: thank you..

he walked over to me and hugged me

midoriya: no need to thank me, stay safe, you got this!

I smiled and nodded as he leaped from building to building until I could no longer see him. I walked back down and into the classroom

aizawa: eli

(I almost said y/n, bruh I cant today)

eli: yes
aizawa: I switched your seat
eli: what?
aizawa: you're sitting in the back
eli: the back? but the only seat open is...

aizawa looked at me and then nodded, looking down at some papers. I walked over to kairis seat and gently placed my things down, and sat down. I traced the faint marks of pencil marks that he would leave. I pouted my lips and leaned on my hand for the rest of class. the school day ended so I quickly walked to my dorm and threw myself on the bed. I played some music on my phone and ended up falling asleep and waking up around 2 am to my phone ringing, it was kai.

eli: kai-
kairi: stop messaging me, arely. forget about me, live your life as if we never met.

my heart dropped hearing that come out from him

eli: what? where is this coming from?
kairi: i just don't want you to be hurting
eli: so you think me hearing that from my best friend of 16 years is going to make me "stop hurting"
kairi: I was hoping you'd get mad at me for it, and then forget about me
eli: kairi, you can't be serious
kairi: well, I am.
eli: how the hell am I supposed to forget you? I-

I sighed

eli: kairi i love you. more than a friend, i'm in love with you and i'm mad at myself because I never had the courage to tell you when you were here.
kairi: I.. i'm in love with you too, arely.. ever since we were kids.. even when we were just 5, I knew I was in love with every part of you.

my heart was racing, it felt like it was going to explode

eli: and you just expect me to forget you?
kairi: ..you're not making this much easier..
eli: we can work out long distance, I-I'll wait for you-
kairi: I don't want you waiting around for me.. I don't want you waiting too long..
eli: I don't care how long I have to wait! i'll wait for you, kairi! I will! I promise I will!
kairi: im sorry... I love you.

the call ended, I tried to text him but my messages wouldn't get delivered, my calls wouldn't go through, he blocked me on every social media app, and all I had left were the memories, and a void in my chest. I could feel my sadness turning into anger towards him.

eli: ..you want me to forget about you? fine.

such heartbreak for eli on valentine's day, what a loser LOL 😹 IM KIDDING LMAXOJFKR
