with a gentle voice he breathed my name: "Yu ...".
Be! That was my be! He was himself again! Involuntarily my body relaxed, I smiled slightly and the tears ran down my cheeks from sheer relief. Seis gaze turned to astonishment, but within a few seconds he was looking at me as lovingly as he had never done before.His right hand rose to my face and gently, very gently, almost as if you were afraid I might break, he stroked my tear-soaked cheek. "Yu ...".
Suddenly someone on my left tore open the door to the room. His mother, Keiko, suddenly stood in the room. For a moment she looked at us in surprise - as I was lying there on the floor, we had to give a strange picture - but immediately her expression changed into the cold arrogance that she wore every day. She wrinkled her nose and addressed her word to Sei. As always, I was air for her.
"Seichiro, darling, haven't you wanted to learn a long time ago? And why is your ... is HE still here? I thought you wanted to say goodbye to him?
Now her gaze turned to me and I could see a mocking smile on her face. I was out of breath. So you had told her that he was planning to end my friendship, and even forbid me to interact with him! So it really couldn't be a spontaneous joke on his part! He must have been planning to do this for a long time! That bastard planned it!
I quickly turned back to Sei, tears of anger in my eyes. 'Bastard! You fucking asshole! 'they had to scream. But she didn't look at me. He kept staring at his mother, making it impossible for me to read in his blue oceans. Besides, he couldn't see my angry eyes and I wanted him to be aware of my anger! I straightened up a bit, sat on his hip, grabbed his collar with both hands and started shaking it. 'You asshole, you please me! At me, damn it! 'My insides screamed these words as loud as it could, but I couldn't utter a sound.
Then - finally! - Be turned his face to me. He stared at me blankly. Nothing more suggested my being, who had whispered my name just a few minutes ago.I stopped shaking it. His expression slowly changed, a mocking smile like that of his mother spreading across his face.
"Would you finally have the goodness to get up from me, Matsuo? Contrary to your petite appearance, you are pretty heavy!" Not only, the mocking laugh had taken over from Keiko, but also the arrogant tone of voice. All the things he hated about his parents were now found in him.
I stayed in my position for a moment, then I closed my eyes for a moment and let out a long breath to calm myself down. I looked at my now former best friend one last time, careful not to show him my pain. As far as I knew myself, however, this plan went completely wrong. I must have looked at her sad and hurt eyes like never before.
Then I just got up, grabbed my jeans, quickly pulled them over my shorts, straightened the black shirt I had slept in, grabbed my cell phone and rushed out of the room past Si's mother. I ran out of the house at a quick pace. As soon as I left the property and turned the next corner, I stopped. I gasped for air. This is exactly the corner that Sei and I hid yesterday when we left the high society. Was that really only yesterday? The day before we were the very best buddies and today ...? What were we from today when we weren't friends anymore? But not ... enemies?
A loud sob escaped my throat, my knees would no longer carry me. I crouched down with my forearms on my thighs and leaned forward. All of a sudden I felt sick. I moved gently back and forth, closing my eyes and slowly breathing in and out. Suddenly I saw Sei's dismissive face, his cold oceans and his mocking smile again.I heard his arrogant voice in my head.
"You have to go home immediately, Matsuo."
'From today on, never speak to me again or even let me have a look at you, understand ?!'
'Stop doing that! Stop it, understand? Don't ask why! I won't answer you anyway. No way.'
'Forget it. I'm dead serious, Matsuo. '
I vomited. Whether it was because of the excessive drinking yesterday or because of today's events, I couldn't say for sure. The hot tears that were making their way down my face inexorably had not yet dried up. They converged on my chin and then fell noiselessly to the floor. I let myself fall back, leaned against Sei's property wall and started screaming. First softly and then louder and louder, my screams echoed through the streets. I had to look like a madman, but I didn't care. I had lost my best friend, whom I had known since I could just walk! You could freak out for a moment, right ?!
Suddenly I heard quick steps moving in my direction. Did my screams cause someone to come out of the house to see who was causing such a riot?
Despite the person approaching me, I couldn't stop chasing my voice through the streets. It just didn't work. I felt like I would burst if I didn't give way to my anger, sadness and despair. I was still keeping my eyes on the floor when two shoes suddenly came into my field of vision.
"What? ... Y-Yuri, is that you?" I knew that warm voice. "My God, did you ... did you throw up?"
I fell silent for a moment, lifted my head with all my might and saw ... Taki. He stared at me in horror and then crouched down next to me - at a safe distance from my reverse food. He looked at me so compassionately that I couldn't hold back.I literally threw myself into his arms, clutched his white shirt, and began to sob and scream alternately.
"Shh, calm down, Yuri. Sh ... everything's going to be fine. What's going on? Has what happened? Oh, stupid question, of course something happened, otherwise you wouldn't be in this condition. Come on, Yuri, tell me what Or should I guess? But you know, I'm not that good at guessing. "As nice as I might find Taki, he was a chatterbox.
"S-Sei ... S-Sei is," I managed between my screams and howls. Yeah what was he? Mean to me? That sounded totally childish and didn't apply to the matter at all. But how could I make Taki understand what was going on? I hardly understood it myself.
"What about Seichi? Has something happened to him ?! Did he have an accident ?!" Taki was immediately on high alert. When it came to his protégé, he knew no mercy. I nodded, Taki drew in a sharp breath, and then I shook my head.
"N-Something didn't happen to him, but WITH i-him," I stuttered, sobbing. Confused, he looked down at me. Then, I could see it very clearly, a light dawned on him. "Oh ... I see. I'm ... I'm really very sorry for you, Yuri".
You're welcome?! What did he understand? I hadn’t told him at all what had happened to Sei and he wanted to understand? Can it be ...? Could it be that he also knew what would happen to me? Was it possible that everyone but me had known ?!
