Love Returned From The Ashes

Confronting Her

Bae pov: "Miori!!" I yelled, "Miori... Miori... Miori... Miori!" I yelled Tears began to stream down my face as I ran. "Miori!" I screamed

I can't believe I did something so stupid like that. She is here trying to make amends, and yet I stubbornly tried to push her away like an idiot.

Miori is cradled up in a ball locked in a room, crying, "Bae-Bae haaaates me!" She whined; it seemed like she was in so much pain.

"Gaaaaaaah, I'm an idiot!" I yelled

I ran as fast as I could, but it seemed like the hallway was never ending. I don't have time to waste; if I don't make it in time, she'll be erased because of me.

"Mioriiiiiiii!" I screeched, only to be stopped by Ollie.

"Bae, don't scream and run down hallways!" I was scolded by the zombie stepmother.

"Ollie-senpai-get the hell out of my way!" I yelled

"Huh... calling me Ollie-senpai and not Mom?" She questioned

"I don't have time to waste!" I yelled

"Yes, you do..." Ollie-senpai replied

"Oh, Miori ran past me and requested that she be taken out of the world since you hate her." Mumei said

"Wait, you have an erasing cube." I said

"Yup," Mumei said.

"You are going to use it on her?" I asked

"I currently am, but you can stop it; you only have about a minute," Mumei said.

"No, I don't. I only have about forty seconds left!" I yelled

"For what!?" Ollie asked

"To correct a mistake!" I yelled

I knocked her to the side and began to dash down the hall. If I don't make it in time, Miori will be gone forever. She hasn't done anything wrong. She doesn't deserve this at all. I don't want it, and I won't let her perish because of my selfishness.

"Miori!!!" I yelled as I reached the door; it was locked, so I slammed onto it, "Miori!" I yelled loudly into the door.

"Bae Bae?" She sniffled

"Yes, it's me. Please open the door!" I yelled

"How come?" She asked

"Because I want to help you and stop you from being erased!" I yelled

"Well, maybe I don't want you to help me stop myself from being erased. Maybe I don't want your help, bitch!" Miori screamed

"Then don't disregard what I say. I know I abandoned you a long time ago and didn't help you when you needed me, but now I want to help you!" She yelled

"Well, maybe I don't want your help, bitch!" I screamed

I reap what I sow.

"Please, Miori, I don't want to lose you!" I yelled

"Then why didn't you trust me? Why not go with me when I told you about the incoming threat? Why tell me you don't want my help? Why call me a bitch? Why lie to my face about loving me? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why are you like this, Bae? The word of the day is why!!" Miori yelled

"Because..." I paused

"Because!? I pour my heart out to you, and all you can say in response is, Bae! What the hell is wrong with you? I'm going to get erased from all of existence, and all you can tell me is because!"

I could hear Miori begin to cry as I stood there in silence as time ticked down.

"No-Miori, listen to me. I really love you. I want you in my life. I just am scared that you will run away and that I will lose you again. You keep running away, abandoning me, and you keep hurting me!" I said

"Bae, it's not only one-sided. I hurt too. You hurt me. I'm not the only one that is here hurting. You make me feel pain. You make me hurt. You make me cry. You make me sad. You make me feel all these negative emotions. We both are hurting, but if we could sit down here and talk, then we could figure out how we feel," she said.

"Miori, I want to reconnect. I want to be your friend. I want to love you again. I want you to validate me. I want you to see me how I am now. I want you to love the current me. Love who you want to love. I'll love who I want to love too, but I'll have room for you. I won't be afraid anymore, Miori, so please open the door and come out. I'll let you kiss me too!" I yelled

"Bae, I can't come out; the door is stuck," she said.

"Shit, well, what the hell am I supposed to do?" I asked

"Nothing, just go away and move on right now and just live your life," she said to me.

I bit my lip and balled up my fist. "No!" I yelled before punching the door as hard as I could and smashing it down. I ran into the room and grabbed Miori, noticing how the room was beginning to vanish. She was serious about actually erasing this place. "What the hell!" I yelled

"Bae, we aren't going to make it!" Miori yelled

"Yes, we will!" I yelled

"No-not together; it isn't going to work!" Miori screamed

"It has to be that if we don't get out of this room together, then I will go out with you. I can't leave you in this room. I won't leave you in this room, damn it!" I yelled

"Bae!!! Run, get out of here!!"Miori yelled

"Why!" I asked.

"We are going to disintegrate!" Miori shouted

I have to admit that this room is vanishing slowly. Slower than usual, but that doesn't matter; we have to escape. It is moving fast enough to get us and make us vanish.

"Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!" I yelled

"Bae Bae, we can't get out of this room together; we can't get to the exit in time; we are going to disappear!" Miori yelled again.

"No-Miori!" I yelled

I grabbed her and held her close before lunging at the door. We are going to get out of here once and for all.
