CHAPTER IV – Truth

Eiri’s POV

After I woke up and saw Tatsuha sleeping, without hesitation, I drove my car down to
NG studios to know what really happened. As I have expexted, the media camped
outside the building and reporters surrounded the building. I was swarmed by those
paparazzi and had a rough way entering the damn building. I made my way to
Tohma’s office and was surprised when I saw K, Sakano, Hiro, Suguru, and Mika
with them. Surely, my brat’s friends will be there, but my sister?

I took a deep breath and charged Tohma. I slammed my hands in his desk and yelled
at him, “What happened! Why was he not in the limo? Why did you let him drive?”
Tohma just looked at me and smiled, “Calm down, Eiri.” Oh how I hate that smile.
My brat is dead and he wants me to calm down? Just thinking of Shuichi dead makes
my heart swell. I could not take the pain anymore. I want to take all the anger out
at them so I kept on yelling and yelling.

Mika looked so worried and everyone kept exchanging suspicious glances. They all know something that they are arguing if they should tell me. I hate this feeling of pain, loneliness
and uneasiness. I kept thinking when Hiro tapped my right shoulder and mockingly said, “Shuichi’s dead and you can’t do anything about it. Of all people other than Tohma
and Mika, shouldn’t you be the happiest person because my friend died? You will
finally have the peace that you’ve always had before he came into your house?”

No he is wrong. Why should I be happy because my Shu died? He’s everything to me.
And what the heck did he mean about peace and quiet? I had my peace and quiet since
my brat came into my house… no since he came into my life. Anger flared in my
heart. He doesn’t know anything. He doesn’t know how much I love his best friend.

I grabbed Hiro’s collar and pinned him on the wall. My rage gave me power and I
lifted him for a moment and confessed, “You don’t know anything! You don’t know
how much I love him!” I said what I wanted to say but still, anger left my heart and
the pain takes its throne back.

I thought I won the argument between Hiro and me but I was wrong. He made comeback
the shook the core of my heart, “Why are you telling me that you love him? Why don’t you
tell Shuichi?Oh… That’s right! He’s dead! He was burned to ashes and you will never see
him again!” He was torturing me. I know that he’s blaming me for Shuichi’s death. And
I am also blaming myself for my lover’s death.


Shuichi’s POV

I can hear their conversation from the other side of the door. I was hiding in Tohma’s
office. We almost got caught if it weren’t for Tohma’s secretary giving us a head’s-up
that Eiri is coming. I can hear everything that their saying.

I can’t believe that Eiri loves me. Surely, he cares but it didn’t believe that there’s love
in it. I was fighting myself if I should stop this act or not. I wanted to open this door and
hug him, kiss him and made love with him. I battled with my desire and love for him.

And then I told to myself that if I back-out now, everything will be ruined even my heart.
I guess it doesn’t matter anymore that Eiri loves me… No, it does matter. I am lying
to myself. I felt tears running down my face and I was left undecided. And then it
came to me…

I should continue with my plan. It’s part of the deal. I would have to face Eiri eventually
so I need to prepare myself. I need this one year of soul searching. But then again,
a fragment of my soul is with Eiri and I should get my act together and take that back
from him.

It was a matter of time before he left. I think that my band mates left too, together
with my manager. I am burdening Mika and Tohma with my problem but I know this
will help them as much as it will help me. They finally got rid of me in my lover’s life. As
I open the door back to Tohma’s main office, I took a deep breath and braced myself
for a year that would decide if I should go on forward with my life.
