It was a lot later then usual and the rain was actually starting to stop. It hadn't stopped for five days. Which was funny because five days ago I decided I'd try to win over Ayumi. I guess I didn't need a week. Here she is, wanting to spend the night with me.
"Yoshiki… it's getting kinda late. Would it be possible... If I could spend the night?"
I stare at her. Ayumi Shinozaki, asking a delinquent like me, to spend the night with her!?
Hastily I agree. We both think it will be easier if we just shared a bed. Although I know it will be awkward, I am thrilled at that idea.
We lie there under the covers, cuddling. Her hair is down and sprawls across the pillow. I play with it, attempting to plait it. I have absolutely no idea how to plait, instead twisting it into a knot. She just laughs and I comb it out with my fingers. I drink in her beauty- those smart sapphire eyes, gazing into mine, her pink tinted cheeks glowing with pleasure, her mouth a small smile of happiness. I touch her cheek and feel the warmth radiate from her body. Her arms wrap around my chest and I gently hug her waist. We stay like that for what seems like an eternity. I am barely conscious when I hear her whisper.
"I love you Yoshiki."
"I love you too."
We drift off into sleep holding onto each other. Protecting each other.
When I wake, I find myself alone.
"Ayumi?"
I hear noises coming from the kitchen. I enter, to find that Ayumi had prepared breakfast for me. I realise I haven't eaten in a while.
"You didn't have to do this for me...-"
"Yes I did, you look like you haven't eaten for days..."
Once I finish, we both sort ourselves out.
"Want to go on a walk or something?" I ask.
"Sure! The rain has finally cleared up."
We decide on going to the park and get ready to leave.
I plan on giving Ayumi this cute little locket I've wanted to give her. It has the words 'I love you' engraved onto it and the park will be a great place to do it. I slip it into my pocket.
We are walking up the road. "I've got a surprise for you Ayumi!" I tell her.
"You do...?" She looks curious. I pull out a box and she seems overcome with pleasure. "Oh Yoshiki!"
She wasn't focusing. She stumbles and falls into the road. A car is coming. Fast. "AYUMI!"
I leap out in front of her and the impact of the speeding vehicle knocks the wind out of me. I fall to the ground. It hurts so much. I am aware of many people surrounding us but I can only focus on Ayumi.
"YOSHIKI!" she bends over me, hugging and crying.
"Dont... Die... Don't... Leave me..."
"Take this..." I hand her the box. "I love... You..."
The pain is fading but so is Ayumi. But I'm happy. I got to see Ayumi's beautiful face and know that she loves me back. I love you Ayumi. I love you. Thank you for giving me what I thought I couldn't have. I love you. I love...
"Ayumi..."
Yeah. That's it. I think I'm crying now. I've written such a cliché ending. Lots of people want me to change the ending so if you do I'll consider adding an alternate ending. Thank you for your support and for reading ~~~
