Chapter: The first meeting 2-Unwanted memories
Chapter 6
"There you are at last, how about if we go for a drink now?" I nodded, and Sasuke just shrugged his shoulders in boredom. Somehow you can never please anything.
"I suggest we go to the little cafe in the mall," says Tomoe. Oh no please do not! "Can't we go somewhere else? You know this isn't really the best place for us and especially for me." I tried unsuccessfully to convince them, with the emphasis on FORCE. "Oh what, you're talking nonsense again!" she replies before simply walking towards the café. So with an annoyed sigh I go after her, followed by Sasuke.
A short time later we arrived at the worst place in all of Tokyo. "I think we should sit down here!" suggested Tomoe and pointed to the empty table which was pretty much in the middle of the horror café. No sooner said than done, we all sat down obediently and leafed through the menus in front of us. Just when I wanted to make my decision and lean back, the person who plays the main role in this horror cabinet appeared: Atsuko! I know her from elementary school, she went to a class with me and Tomoe. We hate her and she hates us, the only difference is that our dear Atsuko is almost the most popular little girl in all of Tokyo. Which means she has the power to kill both of them, and we ... just don't. Well, in any case, she works here in this café, and that in turn was or is the reason why I don't really enjoy spending my nice free time here. "Oh Haruka, you're going out again, aren't you? I'm really happy for you," she scoffs in a derogatory tone and looks me up and down. I don't even look at her and just said: "I'm happy to see you too, Atsuko," from me. "Oh really ?! Well in any case, I'm even more pleased that you are over this bad thing, I mean if I were to blame for the death of my parents AND that of my brother, then I would not be able to walk around so carefree. "Couldn't she just let it go? Everyone knows how much I suffered from being to blame for the death of the people I loved most. And then also before Sasuke. "Shut up Atsuko and take our order, that's what you're here for." said Tomoe protectively. Astuko, who just snorted contemptuously, never dreamed of stopping: "Oh come on, as if we didn't all know that it was your fault. It's not my problem if this measly thing is followed by bad luck." Like a blow everyone came those horrific memories back and I noticed tears welling up in my eyes. Panic is spreading inside me and I don't know what to do. "Listen, if you have nothing better to do than talk some garbage, then get out of it.But really fast! "Ok, I didn't expect that. I looked shocked at the person who had just uttered this sentence, Sasuke! His face looked angry and indifferent at the same time. But what surprised me even more was that Atsuko even did what he said. Not without complaining, but she did. Nevertheless, it appealed to me that he did that: "Why did you interfere?" . "said Tomoe." I defended you, and with success as you can see. "-" But I didn't ask for your support, "I almost shouted, got up and literally ran out of the café. The grief that I had long thought to have overcome now came up again Without meaning to, tears ran down my face. In the meantime I had arrived in some hallway that seemed to be empty and let me sink down against the white wall. Howling I pulled my knees and rested my head on them. I let my tears flow and these terrible memories kept popping up in my head.
So now I was sitting there crying against a wall in the mall. What could be more pathetic? Right, nothing! Still sobbing, I blocked out the surroundings around me and didn't notice someone joining me and also leaning against "my" wall. "Well, I'm not very good at that, but I think I'll be fine." said a voice I knew surprisingly softly, put an arm around me and pulled me close. My heart was pounding and although I knew it was Sasuke whose t-shirt I was clutching at, it was too pleasant not to do it.
He gently stroked my hair and hugged me tighter. I started to calm down and breathed evenly again. Slowly I lifted my head, looked into his eyes and lost myself in them. This deep black, so unfathomable and yet beautiful. Why is he doing this? Again I didn't ask him to do something like that and yet he just does it. Sasuke would be the last I would have expected something like this from. Suddenly he raised his hand and put it gently on my cheek.
My heart started skipping again and somehow panicked, so I just broke off our silent conversation and sat down next to him again. "Thanks for coming here but you didn't have to." I said softly. Sasuke thought for a moment, but then finally answered: "May I know why you reacted like this and what this Atsuko meant when she said that it was your fault?" Why did I know that he would ask that? I've never really told anyone except Tomoe, why should I tell him of all people? I don't even know him well. But I think it would be better to talk about it too, so what the heck: "Well, you know my parents are dead.And I also had a big brother, he was 3 years older than me, "I broke off and the tears came again. Finally I continued:" It was winter, Christmas to be precise. My mum and my Kenji were with my aunt back then and only me, Mai and my dad were at home. Dad came to me and said that Mum and Kenji couldn't come because the streets were too snowy and slippery. But since I've always been too childish for a 10 year old kid, I started crying and didn't want to rest until Dad said we'd go together and pick her up. Mai who was 2 years younger than I wanted to stay at home alone and also promised not to do anything. "A sad smile crept onto my lips and again I continued:" I stopped crying and so I sat in the car with Dad. The drive there went smoothly and when we arrived and Kenji and Mum were sitting in the car, we wanted to go back. The road was very slippery and we drove extra slowly and when suddenly this car came along, everything went very quickly. A bang, a terrible bang, then it was quiet. I opened my door and ran out hoping the others would have made it too.
But they weren't there. Only I stood there, alone and didn't know what to do. Somebody seemed to have called the police and when they carried the lifeless bodies out of the car I started crying and screaming. It was horrible, but worst of all, it was my fault! If I had acted like a 10 year old and not just crying around then none of this would have happened. "Towards the end I got quieter and then finally fell silent. It was quiet for a while and nobody said anything. But suddenly I heard his voice, calm and gentle:" You know, it was my big brother who killed my parents, and by that I mean properly killed. I hate him for what he did to me. You can't blame yourself for it, you were 10 and even if you hadn't cried it would have happened anyway sooner or later. What should be, should be and you are not responsible for it! "I saw that he wasn't just saying all this to comfort me. He was serious, and as bad as it all is, he helped me with it. I smiled, and Sasuke put on a small but beautiful smile too. "Come on, I'll take you home." He said finally. I nodded and got up. Shortly before the exit I suddenly stopped "Wait, where the hell is Tomoe?" I asked totally hysterical. "Oh, I told her that I'll look after you, you don't have to worry and should go home "answered Sasuke and merely shrugged his shoulders. I exhaled with relief and we continued on our way. Since it was already dark outside, I was even inside Not very happy that Sasuke is with me, but we remained silent and soon arrived.I thanked him for his help and then said goodbye, he did the same and then just kept walking. One should understand that. Because I don't.
After closing the door behind me, I headed straight for my room. The day was really too much for me! Without even thinking about it I threw myself elegantly on the bed and then fell asleep.
