Yume POV

I take a sip of my latte. I gently place my cup down and stare at it.

Me and Honoka are back at the same cafe, except this time were not studying.

"I'll never forget you Subaru~Kun!"

"Promise me you'll grow old with me......."

"Honoka?"
"Hm?"

"Did you ever have a boy childhood friend?"
"Yes I did."

I look at her in suprise. To be honest, I thought she was gonna say no.

"You did?"
"Yeah. His name was Shiro. Izumi Shiro. We weren't technically best friends. But we were good friends. Now that I look back on the memories we made I think he had a crush on me. But I didn't feel the same."

"Really? Wow.
"What did he look like?"

She smiles and looks up to the sky.
"He had dark red hair. His eyes were somewhat of a lemon green."

I smile.
"What was he like?"

"He was sweet. He tried to act tough at times. He was very friendly and energetic. But when he's around a girl he likes, he's a stuttering mess."
She laughs.

"Were you ever interested in him?"
"Wh-what! No. Honestly I only saw him as a friend. And, to be honest, I feel like there is someone out there for him."

She looks down at the table with this weird look on her face.

"I really miss him."
"By your expression, I think you love him."
"No! Well I do love him but.....in a different way.....like........like a little brother."

I give her a very smal and faint smile. I wish people cared about me that much.......I thought that people did until....

"You're such a bitch!"

I close my eyes and look down in pain. Honoka must of notice cuz I hear the sound of shuffling things.

"Yume! Are you okay!"

I slightly open my eyes and see Honoka standing up. Looking like she's about ready to carry me on her back and run to the hospital.

I softly and slowly pick my head up. And give her a-way too obvious to her-fake smile.

"I'm fine."
"But-"
"I'm fine Honoka. Really I am. I just........had a bad memory."
"Yume-"
"I'm fine.........can you go get me some water......please."

Honoka flinches. Reluctantly she sighs and heads inside the cafe.

I stare at her as she go's inside. When she enters the little bell that is hanged above the door rings.

I sigh and face foreward. And rest my head on my arms.

"Where did you see her!"

I hear a familiar strong voice yell.

I pick my head up from the voice. My eyed widen when I see four people.

The same four people who broke my heart.

And the same violet haired girl I saw yesterday turns around and states at me. Her eyes widen as so do mine.

It feels like time slows down.

I quickly jump off the chair and turn on my heel. I take one giant step at a time.

I feel the wind blowing through my hair. The fast blowing air drying the tears that have yet to fallen out of my eyes.

I start taking deep breaths.

Out of nowhere I then feel presure on  my left wrist. The pulling is so hard it halts me to a stop.

My breaths are fast and short. My body is leaning foreward with my right arm slightly ahead of my body.

Even though I can't see them, I know who is holding my wrist back.

I try to snap out of the weird trance that I'm in and start pulling forward. Trying to run.

"Yume stop!"
I hear the soft quiet but loud voice yell.

"Let me go!"
"Yume"-She starts grunting from trying to hold me back-"stop!"

"Let me go!"
"No!"
"I said let me go!"
"And do what! Let you run away from me again! Not a chance!"

I freeze. But I don't completely stop struggling.

"Listen I know you can't run! I know that even if you run you'll get hurt! Your body will be in pain! Your lungs will!
"So even if you run away who will you really be hurting! Me or you!"

I stop. I stop struggling.

"Please.......stop...."
I hear something drop to the ground. Without even looking I know Koharu's on her knees. I feel her grip on me shaking slightly.

"I'm sorry....." She whispers.

"I'm sorry for the things I said to you.
"I'm sorry I acted that way...
"I'm sorry we drove you away....
"We're all sorry...."
"But please....."

"Come back to us. We miss you. We need you in our lives.
"I need you......
"Laura needs you....
"Ako needs you......
"Mahiru needs you....."

She stays quiet. And doesn't say anything for awhile.

"........Subaru needs you....."

My hand flies to mouth that wants to scream in pain.....sadness....fear...

I flinch at the sound of his name. I feel a pang in my chest. Not the same feeling that I get when I run but differnt. It's in the same place but......

And yet it also.....hurts more.....

I feel soft yet warm arms wrap around my body. The warmth makes me feel only more sad. Scared.

Guilt.....and....

Regret.........

"So please......stop running.....
"Stop running away from us.....
"We're not the same without you....
"Especially Subaru.........he misses you......he needs you......he's not the same......"

My eyes widen. I feel the tears fall down my cheeks.

My body softens.

I let out a cry.

"I'm sorry......
"I'm sorry.....I ran away.....I didn't tell y'all.....I'm sorry.........."
I let out everything again.......

My sadness......

My anger......

I let it all out....
