Always Remembering A Forgotten Love

Chapter Nine Missing You

A FEW DAYS LATER

Akira POV

All of us are in the greenhouse today because our classes are already done even though it's only pass 10 in the morning. I am staring at Megumi who seemed to be depressed based on the dark clouds and aura enveloping her. Oh! My angel Megumi, why are you so sad? It must be the devil Yahiro! What have he done now? I'll definitely kill him if I see him!!!!

"Hey, don't you guys think that Megumi is acting strange?" Hikari

"Yeah, she always looks sad and restless. She always sighs while looking at her phone." Tadashi

"She seems to be staying home after school recently." Jun

"She doesn't go visit Yahiro?" Kei

"Apparently, he's very busy lately." Ryuu while feeding a bunny.

"So it's his fault after all!!! That bastard I'm gonna kill him!!!" Me

"You're gonna kill who?"

"Of course that Yah-" I turned to the voice I heard. "Oh, no one Megumi. Ah I know, why don't we go to the mall and have fun?"

"I don't-" Megumi

"Please (-/\-) just for today." Me

"Okay (~_~)." Megumi

"Yay! We're going to the mall. Time for more food." Tadashi

"Who said you're coming?" Me

"But-" Tadashi

"It's girls bonding. GIRLS only. Let's go" dragging Hikari and Megumi with me. Before we exit the greenhouse I see Ryuu patting Tadashi who seems to be mopping at the side and Kei telling him to give up.

IN THE MALL

We went to different boutiques and tried out many outfits especially cute ones, after that we went to the theater and watched a comedy-romance movie entitled ENCHANTED. And after that we went to the arcade.

AT THE ARCADE

Megumi POV

I know that Hikari and Akira are doing this to cheer me up. I really appreciate them being my friends. Too bad Sakura couldn't make it. When Akira texted her earlier, she said that she already made plans for today and that she was sorry.

"That was fun!" Akira after playing the whack a mole game

"Yeah!" Hikari

They seem to have fun so I went to walk for a little farther and then I saw the machine like the karaoke. Hmmm. I know how to repay them. I quickly dragged the both of them in front of the machine and inserted a song. Gift of a friend by Demi Lovato.

Sometimes you think you'll be fine by yourself
'Cause a dream is a wish that you make all alone
It's easy to feel like you don't need help
But it's harder to walk on your own

You'll change inside
When you realize

The world comes to life
And everything's bright
From beginning to end
When you have a friend
By your side
That helps you to find
The beauty you are
When you open your heart
And believe in
The gift of a friend
The gift of a friend

Someone who knows when you're lost and you're scared
There through the highs and the lows

Someone to count on, someone who cares
Beside you wherever you go

You'll change inside
When you realize

The world comes to life
And everything's bright
From beginning to end
When you have a friend
By your side
That helps you to find
The beauty you are
When you open your heart
And believe in
The gift of a friend

When your hope crashes down
Shattering to the ground
You, you feel all alone
When you don't know which way to go
There's no signs leading you home
You're not alone

The world comes to life
And everything's bright
From beginning to end
When you have a friend
By your side
That helps you to find
The beauty you are
When you open your heart
And believe in
When you believe in
When you believe in
The gift of a friend

After singing, a round of applause greeted me.

"That was wonderful Megumi." Akira

"Yeah, it's a good thing that you can control your voice now. It's the result of your training under Yahiro huh." Hikari

"Yeah." Me

"Hey, Megumi, you stay here. We're just gonna get some drinks." Akira

I nod as a reply.

I was scanning the area. It was for the basketball shooting part. Everything seems normal until I saw two familiar faces. It was Yahiro together with Akisha. Yahiro was continuously shooting the balls while Akisha is cheering for him. They seemed to be having fun. They can't see me because this part is a bit hidden and is close to the door. *sigh* I better get going before I hurt even more. I don't think I can hold my tears anymore. I went to where Hikari and Akira buy some juice.

"Megumi, what's wrong?" Hikari

"I want to go home, I don't have any energy left anymore." Me

"Okay. Let's go." Akira

And then we went home after that. Fortunately it's Friday. I cried myself out like there is no tomorrow.

Yahiro POV

Damn this Akisha. She's like a leech. She's so suffocating. If my Father didn't tell me to take care of her I wouldn't bother myself like this. She's a brat to the core. Good thing that I'm not alone in this. I'm with Sakura, who like me, dislikes Akisha. We are in the mall when Akisha suddenly suggested the arcade, when we went in there was a familiar voice. I'm sure that's Megumi's. I searched for her in the midst of the crowd but couldn't see her.

"Hey, let's play that." Akisha

Since I was pissed off and needed some stress reliever, I played it. I was shooting the balls one after another not missing one. Akisha kept cheering like she's crazy. While I was continuously playing, I was really pissed that I need to spend time with her. I'd rather spend time with Megumi. Yeah, Megumi, while thinking of her I didn't realize that the time was up and I was already in a daze reminiscing my memories with that song princess, plus I heard her voice earlier, or was it me just hearing things?

"Yahiro, here you go." Sakura says while handing me an ice cream. She seemed to go buy these while I was playing.

Akisha went play to the other games.

"Yahiro, I saw Akira, Hikari and Megumi earlier." Sakura said and I froze

"Why didn't you tell me!" Me

"Well, they were already heading for the exit so I didn't have time to call their attention." Sakura

"*sigh*" Me

"You miss her don't you?" Sakura said and I blush

"Who misses who?" Me

"Don't play dumb. It's pretty obvious because of your blushing face." Sakura

"Hey, what's wrong? Yahiro, why are you so red?" Akisha

She was about to feel me in my forehead when Sakura slapped her hand.

"Sorry, Yahiro is not feeling well so we will get going. I'm sure you can go home by yourself right? Goodbye" Sakura uttered monotonously and with that we went home.

When I reached my room, I sighed. I went to my bed and only thought of Megumi until I fell asleep.
