LOGINAito didn't know but things went extremely bad the week he stayed at home.During the following week..."Aera, Aera wait. Wait, I can explain" Aito pleaded, following her out of class. "Please give me a chance to explain. Please."She stopped in the hallway and turned to him, arms folded. "Okay. Alright explain. Explain how you failed to keep your promise. Again. Explain how I came to school and kept waiting for you like a fool. Explain how I called you but your phone was switched off. Explain how it has been a week now but my videos are still circulating. Explain. I'm listening."Aito suddenly didn't know what to say anymore.Aera scoffed. "I thought so." She turned to leave but Aito held the strap of her backpack, stopping her. "Things aren't what they seem Aera. You have to believe me." He said. "I was going uphold my promise but-""But what?" she asked. She looked at Aito trying not to cry. "You know what, when you came to my house and told me you didn't do it, a part of me believ
"I have already told you what to do, Aito." Mr Yamamoto said in a strict tone. "This should serve as a lesson for you. Next time, you'll think twice before doing anything." Then he stormed upstairs.But how was Aito to know that they would be filmed? It was at a party and he didn't ever think something like that could happen. It wasn't his fault and it clearly wasn't Aera's. Why couldn't his father understand?"You know what sweetie?" Mrs Yamamoto said, tenderly stroking Aito's good cheek. "Put a pack of ice on that and go upstairs okay. Take some painkillers and rest. Don't go to school today. In fact, you do not have to go to school this entire week. Just stay inside and rest. In the mean time, I'll talk to your dad and see what I can do. Okay?"Aito nodded. "I think that'll be good for me.""Great." Mrs Yamamoto kissed him on the good cheek and hugged him. "Don't be mad at your dad. He loves you a lot. He'll come around." With that, she kissed him on the cheek again then went upsta
Aito just stared at Haruto, not denying it."For fucks sake Aito, use your fucking head!" Haruto shouted."Hey keep it down will you!" Aito whisper-yelled. "They'll hear you!""Then stop acting like a fucking lunatic!" Haruto also whisper-yelled. "Fuck Aito what are you thinking?!""I don't know okay. I don't know" Aito said, frustrated. He threw the bag on the floor, running his fingers through his hair as he groaned. "I can't take this anymore. We're fucking high school kids. I should not have to go through this. Neither should Aera. Damn if I catch the motherfucker who did this, I'm going to end them.""You really thought things through didn't you?" Haruto asked. He was crouched by the bag, checking its contents.In the duffel bag were some clothes, credentials, some snacks, cash and a ring.He took out the ring, admiring how it glistened under the lights. "Were you planning to propose to her? When did you even buy the ring?" It was pure gold with tiny little white diamonds around
"Absolutely," she said, kissing his cheek. "You did use protection though right?""Muuuuum" Aito whined, feeling embarrassed."What?" Mrs Yamamoto asked. "We don't want you catching any STDs. We know girls like her are just full of them.""What do you mean by girls like her?" Aito asked, offended. "Mum I was her first okay. Do not speak about Aera that way. She's still my girlfriend.""Not anymore." Mr Yamamoto said firmly. He pulled Mrs Yamamoto aside and glared at Aito hard. He hated anything that could threaten what he had suffered to build and Aera was one of them."This is why I do not let your mother make decisions when it comes to you. She becomes all soft when you cry and gives in to your wishes.""Hey! I don't!" Mrs Yamamoto opposed it."Well, I won't let it happen this time Aito." Mr Yamamoto said, ignoring her. "You're a man and you're going to start acting like one. Now, you will not talk about that video in school, you hear me? Not a single word. You will not give any sta
"Whether or not I do is not your concern!" Aito shouted angrily. "My messes are not yours to clean up! You have no right to meddle in things like this! We were handling it. We were handling it just fine! Why did you have to go and involve them? We could have taken care of things together! What do you want me to do now? I've already promised Aera that I will clear her name tomorrow. What the fuck will I do tomorrow? Pretend? Lie and hurt her?""Aito-""For fucks sake, shut up!" Aito yelled. "Shut the fuck up! You've already messed things up by telling them!""Language, Aito" Mr Yamamoto warned."Oh, you're worried about my vocabulary?" Aito asked, laughing sarcastically. "You should be worried about Aera's reputation, not mine! She's a girl for fuck's sake! A teenager just like me! You guys are going to ruin her life if you don't let me tell the truth! I'm her boyfriend and I'm the one in the video! How do you expect me to sit back and watch her suffer? How can you expect me to do ever
Aito smiled as he leaned down and planted a kiss on her forehead. "I would never hurt you Aera. Come back to school okay. I'm going to announce to everyone that I was the one in the video. I'm going to clear your name with you by my side. You're not a cheater and you're not a whore.""If you truly didn't do it, why haven't you cleared my name yet then?" she asked, stepping away from him. Crying like that was only a momentary sign of weakness. She needed to do it. To let out her anger and disappointment. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, taking a few more steps away from him. "You claim you love me, Aito. Why haven't you cleared my name huh? What's stopping you?"Aito faceplamed, knowing that was a huge mistake on his part. He had tried to once or twice but something or someone always interrupted him or distracted him somehow. He didn't know how to explain it to her. He groaned, feeling frustrated. "I'm sorry Aera. I'm sorry. Okay, look, the first thing I'll do tomorrow mo
It was dark by the time we arrived at Ryu's house. "Should we wait outside or should we go in?" Kaito asked as he turned the knob and the door clicked open. "He didn't lock it" Yasu frowned as he surveyed the surroundings. "That truck he drives isn't here which means he's not home. Knowing Ryuho,
"You ungrateful child!" Mum yelled as she hurled an unopened bottle of medicines at me. I ducked my head, missing the object by just a few inches. It hit the wall behind me and fell to the floor with a loud crash, white pills spilling everywhere on the tiles. Fuck I've never seen my mum so angry. "W
The picture frame crashed to the ground, emitting a loud crack sound, indicating that the glass had broken. I watched as the cold look in Ryu's eyes changed to that of fear and concern then he rushed into the room. At first I thought he was going to hug me or something but to my great disappointment
Those words were like sharp knives, slashing open my heart. Tears poured down my cheeks like a waterfall. I felt utterly humiliated and worthless. "Ryu...""Don't say my name" he snapped. "You don't deserve to say it""You fucker!" Toshiro shouted, twisting and turning on the floor, trying to untie hi
