"I was left to my own devices."

"What do you mean you can't come?!" I angrily shouted into the phone. "Babe, come on! You know how important this is to me!"

Wiping away my tears in frustration, my grip tightened on my phone. I was being awarded for my role in a movie I stared in, and my asshole of a boyfriend told me he couldn't come.

"I know it's important to you," my boyfriend, Kaito Momota, sighed. "I'll make it up to you, I promise!"

"Many days fell away with nothing to show."

"Kaito, I need you there! Everyone's expecting you to come! They all want to meet you! Kaito, please!" I begged, my (E/C) swimming with tears.

There was a heavy sigh from the other end of the phone. "(Y/N)...I really can't...I have to-"

"Have to what?!" I shouted, stomping my foot in the ground like a child who didn't get their way. "What excuse do you have this time?!"

"I-uh-" Kaito stutteted, trying to come up with an excuse. "Oh, I have to go."

"Kaito-"

The dial tone rang, signaling that he had hung up on me. He hung up on me. He hung up on me. And he did it without a 'I love you', or even a simple 'goodbye'.

"And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love."

"Why, Kaito?" I questioned quietly, my vision blurring with tears. Wiping them away with my sleeve, I left my house, and began walking down the street.

How many times had he bailed on me when I needed him most? Too many to count.

I'm not a bad girlfriend, am I? I've always been there for him, ready to comfort and support him. But he's never really been there for me, has he?

I look up at the sky, noticing the dark clouds. Frowning, I pull my coat tighter to my body.

"Great clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above."

The sky suddenly opened up upon me. It started as one drop, and then two, which then escalated into a down pour of rain.

"Shit," I muttered, looking up at the sky. I pulled my hood over my head, quickening my pace.

Just another wonderful thing to add to this perfect day.

"But if you close your eyes..."

I shut my eyes tight, tears mixing with the rain. I'm pathetic, aren't I? Maybe, I need to change things.

"Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?"

Maybe if I close my eyes, things will go back to the way they used to be. Back when Kaito still loved me. Back when we first starting dating.

"And if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before?"

My eyes shot open. This has happened before. He ignored my calls, claimed he didn't have enough time for me...was it happening again?

Last time this happened, we made up. He had simply been busy, but I suspected otherwise. But, it had all turned out fine in the end.

This time...this time it's different. There's an odd gut-wrenching feeling in my gut that I can't quite place. Swallowing the lump in my throat, I continue walking.

"How am I gonna be an optimist about this?" I asked myself, thinking about all the different possibilities. "How am I gonna be an optimist about this?"
