CHAPTER 2

We were at the police station, in the medical section, they were treating Najimi's bruises.

The boys had already been subdued quickly, the law does comply here in Japan, I liked that and it was also that fast, because we are women.

Najimi was still trembling a bit, but what calmed her down was that she was holding my hand tightly.

Being almost mistreated and with all the desperation on top of her, the only thing that gave her calm at that moment was her savior of her.

I mean me.

[Ash, I want to go home now, it's almost 8 pm, my "parents" must be worried].

[Also, I don't have her number, because I don't have a cell phone!].

[And I don't want an interview of questions when I get home].

Minutes later.

We were in a police car that was taking us to my house.

Yes, she was taking us, Najimi was also with me, her parents were on a work trip and well...

She doesn't want to be alone in her house after what happened.

So the police made all the calls to Najimi's parents, then with a patrol he took us to my house.

Once at my house when I knocked on the door my mother came out desperate and scared, obviously worried, my father also came out to see my condition, but then he noticed the police and knew that something had happened and not so good.

The police spoke with my father, at that time he was not at all shy or quiet, it was an important moment with the issue of his daughter.

So my father, along with my mother, received the whole case from the officers, my mother was stunned and looked at Najimi with great sorrow and sorrow for the poor thing.

My brother who was there also heard the case and clenched his fists a lot, I noticed that.

[Heh, he worried about me, my little brother, because if he had a sister he would be like that too].

The matter is over, the policemen left and my parents understood, the policemen gave him the number of Najimi's parents and spoke with them, advising them that Najimi would stay with them for 3 days, that is the time in which his parents they could go. . to Japan.

My parents agreed to everything, for Najimi to stay with them and for her to sleep in my room, they didn't put her in the guest room, because I noticed that she wouldn't let go of her daughter and I understood why.

So najimi is now in my room with a plate in front of her, the girl didn't want to eat, although who wants to eat when these things happen to her.

Najimi was wearing one of my old pajamas, and despite that, it was too big for her.

Not like me, that as I grew up, my clothes are small and a bit tight, the good thing is that the clothes I have are elastic and very loose.

Silence was what abounded in the place.

[That uncomfortable...].

I didn't know what to say, so without saying anything, I walked over to her and hugged her.

Najimi, when she felt my hug, she couldn't take it anymore and she cried, she cried-cried as much as she could, her screams could be heard even outside my room, where my mother was, and she also shed a tear.

Najimi's crying stopped after many minutes, and not because she no longer wanted to cry but because she no longer had tears, she had never cried so much.

- Let's go to sleep, okay.

Najimi nodded slightly.

I prepared everything, took out the food and told my mom that I was outside.

I put my bed on the floor and turned off the lights.

Komi-san.

-Hears?.

Could you sleep with me?

-...

-Are you sure.

Please.

-In agreement.

In the end I settled down next to Najimi, but in order not to get uncomfortable, I turned my back on her, Najimi hugged me from behind her and hit her head on my back.

Thank you...

A faint whisper was heard, it was so small that it could barely be understood, but I noticed it.

[Hmm....].

[Yes, yesterday I couldn't sleep and now I'm a meter and 50 hugging myself, making myself feel all the heat I can, but not the heat of the exciting, but the heat of the uncomfortable].

[As always I sleep alone, and having someone else….].

[If I had my cell phone, even if it was possible to sleep...].

[I need a cell phone! ].

~The next day.

The light from my window illuminates my face, making me wake up.

[What time is it?].

I look at the clock and see 9 am.

[Shit, I'm late for school...].

[Oh no wait, today I don't have to go for...].

I look at Najimi next to me who continues to hold her, but noticing my movement, she slowly wakes up.

-Hello.

G-good morning.

Rubbing her eyes she woke up fully.

She was seen with the same depression, but a little, obviously what happened to her is not forgotten overnight.

[Although it was also my fault, making her wait].

[Now my punishment is, not being able to sleep well hard level].

Seeing her with messy hair, she looked prettier, I never liked her original style.

I'm more of a fan of loose and messy, just like my original hair was.

[I think I'm going to do a makeover today, because since I don't have to go to class, I take advantage of the situation, but I can...].

Keep looking at Najimi.

-Today we don't have to go to class, so I'm going to change and I'll bring you breakfast.

I wanted to get up, but I felt someone grab me by my clothes.

Can I accompany you?

[Hears? , I don't think it's possible, you'll be able to see my small version and that would be awkward].

[Last night, I changed in the bathroom right there after taking a shower].

I was thinking about that, but I saw Najimi's look that she had a pleading look.

[Oh, what a land].

-No, or what, you want to see me completely naked.

Najimi was embarrassed and with her hands she denied it completely.

N-no, not at all, I didn't mean that.

-I thought so, you stay here then and she drinks.

-This is loungewear, or if you want to stay with what you are, you decide.

I left the room with my clothes and went to the bathroom to change.

Najimi seeing me leave, she took a deep breath.

I look at the clothes I left for her and then pick them up to get a good look at them.

Komi-san is very big...

...

...

...

Najimi put the clothes on her face and began to smell slowly.

This smells like komi-san...

...

No, najimi, what's wrong with you, you're not like that.

Najimi shook her head quickly and patted her cheeks to calm herself.

Minutes later.

I go into my room with breakfast, on behalf of my mother.

[I see if she changed].

I put breakfast on my table and got ready to eat.

Najimi made herself comfortable.

Itadaki-masu.

And so we started eating.

Minutes later.

It's all over and now we're silent, again.

[What am I doing now... , what can be done here for fun].

[Watch television? Oh, I don't know, I haven't watched TV for years, and not because I didn't have it, but because in my old room I had a gaming PC, a TV and my cell phone].

[And I used my cell phone all the time and when it was homework or class, I used my computer].

[TV never used it].

[Hmm....].

[To go outside?].

[I don't think najimi wants to go out so soon...].

[Damn komi, your life was so boring].

...

What are you thinking?.

-In how to break the ice.

Oh....

.

.

.

Do you remember me komi-san? We met in elementary school.

-The naughty boy who was everyone's friend and who he wanted to play with all the time.

Ah, w-well, yes....

And I am not a child.

-I always thought you were a child because of your way of speaking and dressing.

Of course not, it's just...

-Is it just that?

Ahhh, I dress in the form of a man and a woman to avoid problems.

-Issues?.

Well yes, being a very nice and talkative person, that has made me have many friends, but it is also obvious that it would also attract the attention of some.

I received many affirmations and my excuse for not making that person feel bad, is that I was the same gender as her, so that she would not feel so bad and so would I.

That had always worked for me, until... yesterday...

-Hmm...

-You too, because you are always looking for many friends.

It's just that, since I was little, my parents always traveled, either to many parts of the country or to others.

And the time I was in the same place was short and my friendships were always severed.

And that hurt me , so I decided to take advantage of every opportunity I had , to make friends instantly at any time , so as not to feel so alone and to be able to have someone to talk to and have a good time , although with the fear of not seeing them again when I am going to live elsewhere.

Najimi rubbed his arm uncomfortably as he remembered her past.

[It must have been annoying, moving house all the time, but also making friends with everyone, it's silly].

[For my comfort, with a maximum of 3 to 4 friends, I am satisfied, since they are the loyal ones, the rest I see as necessary].

-Now you realized that you caused everything yourself.

Of course not...

Nerd....

Najimi hung his head dejectedly.

[This silly girl].

I got up from my place and walked over to her.

I stroked her head slowly.

-Today you are feeling what protagonism is, while you break more wings falling into an abyss and when you are hitting rock bottom because of your cynicism, you realize that you are submerged thanks to yourself..

-But don't worry, that was because you were used to always advancing, but you don't always win against fear.

I stopped rubbing her head and walked over to my bed, then threw myself on top of her.

[I am so bored!].

~ Minutes later.

Time passed and the silence continued.

E-etto....komi-san.

You sleep?.

-I was about to... What do you want?

Gomen, W-well, do you think we should do something, being quiet all the time too, doesn't make me forget about....

-Shh....

-I don't know, look for anything in my room, I give you permission.

S-seriously, it's fine.

Najimi started to look around my room curiously.

The first thing I found was a small notebook...

["What is this?"].

Out of mere curiosity, he began to read it without knowing that the content would surprise her.

-Did you find something.

I turn to see najimi, but I see her reading a little, but she curiously she had a very mocking face.

[And this one, what fly did she bite him?].

I look closely at the notebook and realize it was Komi-san's notebook, in her attempts to talk to people.

"H-hey, give me that."

Desperate, I quickly grab the notebook from him.

[I should have burned it before, this shit].

Now, I understand why you were so quiet and shy." Her mocking face at her grew larger.

There, komi-san, you would have told me earlier, I would have helped you.

-I'm nothing like that and I don't need help.

Yes, yes, as you say.

-I swear, if you say this to another person, bad things will happen to them.

Gomen-Gomen, I won't tell anyone, I'm a tomb.

I just look at her.

Najimi looked away and kept looking for interesting things in my room, in the process he found a photo album.

Ohh, your album komi-san, can I see this or will I get more death threats?

-If you can.

Najimi, seeing that I gave him my consent, began to look at the photos and marveled at my little version.

Owww, komi-san, you are so cute and I never thought you would study so many things, you even know how to play the violin.

[Is the violin played?].

[I didn't even know about that].

[There are still a lot of things I need to remember about Komi's past to get used to his life].

[Yes or no, Mr. Whiskers].

I looked at the stuffed kitten and in my imagination the kitten nodded approvingly.

Najimi was still looking at the photos.

[This day will be long].
