The important things in life - Part 6

Episode 6 - My weak side

We go back to school the next day feeling rather refreshed. My face went red every time I think about last night in the bath. I shake my head to remove these silly memories. Sachi looks at me confused, "Are you okay Hikaru? Your going red..." I quickly look back at her, "No no no I'm fine, really, just spacing out that's all." She grabs my arm and leans on me while we walk to our lesson. I'm sat in the room spacing out again. I know Sachi can be very shy at times but recently, she seems more confident around me and happier. I like that, I mean, meeting her was a miracle to happen to me. I do love her so much.

I return back to reality when someone is nudging my arm. It was Sarah. I look up at her puzzled. She has short, black hair and is smiling at me, "Woken up, sleepy face? Good I finally get your attention!" I rub the back of my neck, then look to find Sachi, but she's not there. "Hey Hikaru? Wanna go out with me sometime?" I look back at her with a confused expression, "Sorry but I can't, you see I already have someone who I care about, so..." She laughs at me, "Oh really!? Well well well, someone has finally opened up to a girl haven't they? So who is this special someone?"

I then think about Sachi. Where is she? I look round the room frantically and then see her at the teacher's desk, asking for help. I then faze out of reality for a moment thinking about Sachi. How she cares for me, cooks for me and... "Oh I see now!" I look up at Sarah with a serious look, "So you and that new girl Sachi, eh?" She grins then I finally say something, "Hey it's none of your business okay? Please don't bother Sachi about anything."

I look down at my work, but am stopped by Sarah grabbing my face, "Hey what are you doing? Stop it now!" She smirks at me, "Awww your so cute..." She leans to kiss me. I try to move away but she has my face in her hands. What do I do? She's so close now... Just as we were about to make contact, I close my eyes tightly and hear a loud smack. I open my eyes to see Sachi had hit Sarah across her face, "OWWW! Hey, what do you think your doing? We were about to kiss..." Sachi looks really mad. I'm getting quite nervous about what's gonna happen next. "Don't put a single finger on him! I'm his girlfriend so stay back!" Sarah looks at me then back at Sachi.

She doesn't say anything but just walks away, holding her face in her hand. I look at Sachi, she still looks mad about it, "I-I'm sorry Sachi... She just... Forced herself... On me..." I see Sachi turn to me then her face looked shocked, "Hikaru, your face...Your crying!" Wait what? I feel my face in shock to see Sachi was right. My eyes are filling up and is covering my face in tears. I am startled that I'm crying. I panic a bit then run out the classroom.

I sit on the bench outside then start crying again, and I can't stop it. I hear a concerned voice behind me, "Hey are you ok? Why are you crying? Please stop!" I turn and see Sachi running over to me and jumping over to hug me tightly, "Please... I can't watch you cry. It hurts..." I wipe my face, "I'm sorry, but I was scared, it all happened so fast and I didn't know what to do. She was going to kiss me and I..."

I was stopped by Sachi's lips touching mine. I calm down a bit and slow my breathing down, "I didn't want to kiss her, I promise. There was no way for me to get her off. Also I just couldn't hit her otherwise..." I went silent, looking down, "Or what?" I start crying again, "I...Didn't want to scare you and think I'm violent..." She looked at me shocked for a while, but then went to hug me and smiled, "It's okay, I know your not violent and won't hurt me. I love you and trust you will protect and love me alway. Am I right?" I nod at her, slowly wiping my eyes, "I'm such a wimp aren't I..." She starts laughing, "Don't be silly, you are very strong and caring. But for now that's my job. To look after you okay?" I smile finally and we make our way back to class. She can be stronger than me sometimes. I feel like without her, my life now has no meaning. She is really one of the important things in life.
