What the hell?
I sit up this time, trying again.
Error: Message cannot send.
...Huh?
I check her profile, but it's all blank. Our conversation is still here, sure, but... Where the hell is she?
...I freaked her out, didn't I?
Fuck!
I drove her away. I was too forward; I was too desperate...
Fuck...
I clutch my cell in my hands, fighting back the tears.
How could I be so dumb?
She's deleted her account. She's gone.
Fuck everything!
Without thinking, I toss my phone across the room. But, fuck it, right? She's gone, and she's all that ever mattered to me.
I hug my knees, trying to hold back the tears. But all I do is choke on them.
"Are you crying?"
"What?" I lift my face up, my heart pounding.
Teddie's stood there, confused, and with Yu not far behind him.
Shit...
I quickly wipe my eyes, standing up.
Yu heads to the corner of my room, picking my cell up before handing it back to me. "You're lucky it didn't smash."
"...Thanks," I gulp, taking it from him.
"Sensei got me ice cream on the way home," Teddie grins.
"Who gives a fuck?" I snap.
"Yosuke," Yu sighs.
"You both gotta go."
"B-but, I live here," Teddie splutters.
"Go see Dad, or something. Just don't bother me."
"Fine," he huffs, turning on his heels to leave.
Yu doesn't, though. Of course he doesn't.
"Yu," I breathe.
"What's the matter?" He turns to me, frowning.
"What?"
"I mean, why was your cell over there on the ground?" He points back to the corner.
"No reason," I shrug.
"And why are you crying?"
"Dude, just... Just fuck off, alright?"
"Yosuke-"
"Seriously," I snap. "You need to back off."
"I don't understand-"
My cell buzzes in my hand. And, for a split second, I have hope. I have hope that she's back; that she's trying to apologize, trying to start up a conversation.
But, nah.
Chie. Mocking me. Again.
Yu looks down at my phone. "Just Chie, eh?"
"Will you stop?" I frown, pulling my cell to my chest.
"I didn't mean to pry."
"Yeah, well, you did."

FanfictionKanji was just a decoy; Yu knew that. He also knew he had no chance with Yosuke. Even then, he couldn't let go. Because he didn't care what it took; he needed his partner more than anyone else. ~~~ cover credits - @CreamyGhost on twitter ~~~ Info: ...
