Secondhand Memories (Pioneer English Cell Phone Novel)

A Journey

Chapter 458

A Journey

I heard the line connect after a few moments.

"Yuya, it's Seiji."

"Yo Seiji, how's it going?"

"Can you do me a favour?"

"Yes, of course. What is it?"

I gritted my teeth. Did this consider as breaking my promise?

Depending on another person to look after her...

Was something I didn't want to do.

"Please take care of Aoi!"

Chapter 459

A Journey

I couldn't deny the excitement coursing through my body like a powerful drug.
It's been a long time since we went anywhere.

It was refreshing, like I was leaving everything behind,
with the luggage at my feet, finally going somewhere in life.

I knew my promise to myself included fighting for my lost dreams.
The change of scenery and the rock festival was what I needed.

I just hoped everything would be fine.

No, i knew everything would be fine.

Yuya would take care of Aoi.

Besides, what could happen in five days?

Chapter 460

A Journey

We finally left the city.

Away from what we called home.

After an hour of travel, the train had been emptied of its passengers.
Here and there people with much time to kill lounged,
reading, browsing, exchanging mail on their cell phones.
The only noise was from our group of seven, taking up half a train car, laughing, carefree.

Outside, the countryside sped by, unceasingly, fields stretching out to infinity.
It was warm now and there were alot of people on bicycles.
Spring was finally here.

But for us, it will only officially begin with the cherry blossoms.

The new school year would be welcomed by the blossoms.
Then the future will blossom.

A Journey

"Seiji!"

"Hmm?"

Airu sat down beside me excitedly. "Let's take a picture."

"Eh why?"

"We don't have any pictures together! Can you believe that?"

She grabbed my arm and leaned against me, raising her cell phone up high.
We smiled and froze for a moment. Snap.

Captured for eternity.

"Alright, how bout all of us now?" Airu waved at everyone.

"The memories shall start now!"

More memories to add to our existence. More memories to protect.

I will remember everything.

A Journey

"So what's our next stop?"

"We should stop at Mount Fuji."

"Yeah that's good. We can take some pictures."

I laughed. "Never knew Airu was such a photographer."

"Pictures are important! Our precious memories."

Suddenly, I thought of Aoi and I. Why didn't we have many pictures?

I flipped open my phone.
One of the only ones we had was on my cell phone, as my background.
It was like the one Airu just took with me.

Was this enough to be special? Was this enough to remember everything between us?

I hoped we would never forget. Aoi would always be here with me. Inside me.
