CHAPTER TWO

Yumi POV

"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!" I shouted out of frustration.

"WHY MEEE ?!" then my tears start falling

I am now alone here at the top of the mountain where you can see the fields and the city from here. For me this is the safest and my comfort place. Why? Because it is quiet here, there are not many people.

I stand up again

"W-WHYY ?!" I shouted again

I was surprised when someone suddenly hugged me, I fought because I did not know who was just hugging me.

"Shhhhh" he said

His voice sounds familiar, I looked at him ....

It's Lance, What is he doing here?

"U-Leave that, I don't need you here!" I shouted at him

But he didn't seem to hear me, he hugged me tighter as if he didn't want to let me go.

"Shhhh, Yumi" he said in comforting tone

"W-why? W-why me ?!" I said while still crying

"Shhhh, It's gonna be okay" he said while hugging me

* after an hour *

"What happened?" he asked me

"N-Nothing" I answered

I do not want to say, I do not want to add to his problem.

"Stop lying please" Lance

"N-no I-i'm n-not" and forced a smile

"You've changed" I lost my smile at what he said

"You've changed a lot" huh?

I turned to him, they were looking away, then he started flashing a smile, a sad smile

"You know? Yumi who is known and my friend, very different from Yumi who is with us now." huh? what is he saying?

"My friend Yumi, she's always smiling a real smile, has a cheerful personality and she's caring" she smiled sadly

"But now, you're totally different, yes you smiled but your eyes and facial expression say you're not okay. You used to be cheerful but now, you always wanted to be alone" he said in sad voice

Did I really changed a lot?

"It's still me" I told him

"You left" he said

Yes, I left. But that was not my decision. It's my parents

"But, I'm back" I answered

"Yes, come back but you are different" I was silent at what he said

"What really happened to you in a year?" he asked me

Should I tell him? How?

"You lost communication with us, a month after you left" he continued

Yes that's true, I removed my communication with Reika and them, because I thought they would forget me, that maybe they are no longer my friends.

"I'm sorry" I just said

Sorry if I became selfish, sorry if I was just thinking to myself.
