(Shuichi POV)
I jolted awake to the sound of my alarm clock going off.
Damnit, I forgot to turn it off.. it's Saturday anyways.. I wanted to sleep in >:(
I sat up on my bed, stretching a little bit.
The memories of last night filled my head, and I winced a little bit.
I grabbed my phone off of my drawer and looked at the time.
6:01 am...
I also saw 13 text messages from Kaede.
A bit nervous, I opened the messages
(These are the texts ^^)
💕Kaede💕
Shuichi I'm sorry.
Shuichi.
Baby.
Please reply😠😠
I'm not with Rantaro, I swear!
I love you not him!
I love you!
I'm so sorry, Shuichi.
Please forgive me 😢
I love you god damnit!
I'm sorry I hurt you, what I did was wrong.
I hope you will understand and come back to me.
Please.
(End of text messages)
Ugh.
If she loved me so much, why would she be all over Rantaro in her car?
Feeling a bit salty, I left her messages on read and turned my phone on silent, placing it back down on my drawer.
Well, I'm already awake. Might as well get dressed..
The second I stood up, I heard a knock at my door.
"Shuichi? Are you awake.."
It's my uncle.
"Yeah, I am- sorry if I woke you up, you can go back to sleep!" I called out to him.
"Can I come in?" He asked.
I knew this would happen eventually, oh well.
"Sure..."
The door opened as soon as I said those words.
I sat down on the edge of my bed.
"What is it? Is everything okay?" I ask him, trying to avoid the topic of last night, even though I knew that is why he was in here.
"I'm worried about you Shuichi- you came home last night in tears and went straight to bed!"
"I was tired.." I sighed, desperate for an excuse.
"Shuichi..." my uncle groaned, not buying it.
Silence.
We sat in silence for a good 5 minutes.
"It's Kaede." I choked out, already feeling my face heat up and tears starting to form.
"Your girlfriend? How is she?" My uncle asked.
"o-oh, well.. Ex-Girlfriend actually. I caught her all over another boy yesterday when I tried to return her purse.." I confessed.
Wow.
That felt amazing to say out loud.
I feel like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.
"Shuichi, I'm so sorry.." he said, pulling me into a hug.
That's where I lost it.
Tears rolled down my face, and sobs escaped my mouth.
My uncle seemed a bit surprised, but continued trying his best to comfort me.
"Shh.. it's okay.."
And that's what the next five minutes was like.
Tears and my uncle repeating stuff like- "It's okay, it's okay" and "shhh.. take a deep breath"
Honestly I don't think anything helped, but I appreciate his effort.
I'm so lucky to have him in my life, I can't believe he took me in.
I took a deep breath, and sat up.
"Sorry about that.." I giggled, a bit embarrassed.
"It's okay Shu- you have every right to be upset, just don't bottle up your feelings okay? It's not good for you, kiddo."
I nodded, wiping the rest of my tears away.
"Listen, I know it's really early but.. I have ice cream in the freezer, and you seem like you could use some right now.. it's not veryyyy healthy, but it makes you feel better every once and a while" My uncle laughed, standing up.
Again, I nodded.
"That would be good.. thank you..."
I stood up as well and followed him to the kitchen.
