Aiba`s POV
I made sure to come clear about what my feelings really are like, before I would go and meet Sakurai Sho. I`d never talked with him before, what kind of person exactly would he turn out to be? I`ve been wondering about that. I never thought that he was mean or any of that sort like my friends always insisted. I could tell he was nice, even if I couldn’t find any reasons for thinking that way or facts to back up my opinion. I couldn’t find any reasons for why I wanted to talk to him either, I just wanted to do it…
I heard the bell ringing, signaling the beginning of lunch time…
I said goodbyes to my friends and told them not to wait for me, because I had some things to do. And so I found myself heading to the roof… How I hated that place…
-Two years Ago-
I opened my eyes slowly, lazily and checked my alarm clock. Ahhh… It was already 6 o`clock so I had to get up and cook some breakfast. I forced myself to get up from the bed and went to clean up a bit, washing my face to freshen up my mind. After that was done I strolled to the kitchen and started to cook. I cooked not only for myself but my dad too, somewhere along the line checking if my mom’s shoes where present which they weren’t, indicating that she haven’t come back yet, so I cooked for just the three of us - my dad, me and Reiko.
My mom was a hooker and that’s not a joke, but I had already grown accustomed to it, my mom’s profession that is. She always went out late, sometime around midnight, and came back in the morning. My dad was unemployed and on top of that also a drunkard. I didn’t even understand why my mom gave birth to me in the first place… To trap me in this kind of situation? Judging from her working field, it would have been so much better if she hadn’t had any children. Yes, she was a whore even before I was born. Sometimes I heard my dad arguing, accusing her, yelling that he didn’t believe I was his child. I couldn’t find it in me to blame him…
Nobody knew about my family situation, I only talked about my family to my lovely girlfriend (or my secretive girlfriend?) Reiko. She was a biology teacher at my school, my biology teacher to be precise. She was so beautiful, smart, mature, and beautiful. Damn, did I say beautiful twice? Well, anyhow, she would always understand me. At first I didn’t really believe that I could date her, I mean, I was just a scholarship student with seriously messed up family. Yet still, I loved her with all my heart…
I was humming some song while cutting the vegetables when I heard someone’s footsteps and I stopped singing the song immediately. That was my dad. He hated it when he heard me singing, he hated when he saw me around him, to put it simply - he hated me…
He stopped when he came into the kitchen and sat down on one of the chairs, I knew what his movements were even if I didn’t look at him.
“Where’s your mother?” he asked me coolly.
“Haven’t come back yet, I think,” I answered him and made myself move faster, I wanted to finish cooking as fast as I could.
“Slut!” he cursed. Well, you already knew that, didn’t you?
“You`re the same as your mother is! With that pretty face of yours, I bet you could sell you body and get some money, that must be why your mother didn’t spend any money to send you to school,” he was shouting at me. Just relax Masaki… He will end this conversation soon if only you will ignore him.
“Tell me… What kind of men do you prefere? What kind do you get? Rich ojii-san?” he asked in a mocking tone, I kept silent.
“So you have forgotten how to talk now?? Or maybe you’ve turned deaf??” he yelled again.
I received a scholarship so I could go to school and besides that I had a part time job too. Of course, I had to falsify my age to get one.
“Hey! Whore! Can you hear me??” he roared to me again. I finished my food and took my leave walking out of the room. I was walking right past him when he grabbed my arm roughly. That really did hurt so I tried to move away and free myself from his grip, but he had already stood up and was now facing me closely. I felt scared. He pushed me violently so I fell back and crashed against a cupboard really hard, he only laughed.
“Slut!!” he cursed again and walked out of the kitchen. I pulled myself up with the last bits energy left in me. I walked back to my bedroom thinking that maybe it would be better if I wouldn’t go to school today. But I remember about Reiko, she would for sure be looking for me, I didn’t want to make her worry so I collected my stuff and went to school.
I ran like crazy through one the hallways in my school, the class was about to start any minute now, checking my watch I pretty much panicked. I saw someone walking in front of me but I wasn’t able to stop in time so we collided. He didn’t fell, I was the one who fell on the floor.
“Gomen nasai!!!” was the first thing that came to my mind to say. I looked up at him… You`re finished, Masaki… It`s Sakurai Sho. He looked at me, eyes cold. I was scared to death… If he wanted to, he could easily make the school expel me.
“Su-sumimasen…” I looked down, ready to receive some sort of punishment, but never did I imagine that the supposedly cold and mean Sakurai Sho would try to help me. He pulled me by my arm lightly, trying to help me stand up, but the pain from my dad’s actions earlier today hadn’t disappeared yet, it hurt like hell.
“Itaii!!” I shouted. He let go of my arm and I fell back on the floor. He looked at me, shock written all over his face, maybe he thought he had hurt me?
“No… I`m sorry… You didn’t hurt me, I just…” I stopped, not finishing my thought, he waited for me to continue. I stood up and started again, “Thank you… I mean, I`m sorry…”
He looked at me with bored expression, and nodded. I smiled and bowed to him and he even returned my bow!! I ran to my classroom. Ahhh… safe…
“Ohayou minna!!!” I greeted my classmates happily.
I couldn’t really concentrate on the lesson I was currently supposed to be listening to, I just wanted to see my Reiko. When the bell finally rang, I run to the biology lab as fast as I could. I opened the door and hoped that she would be sitting at the teacher’s desk, smiling at me. But she wasn’t there, so I tried to call her, but she wasn’t picking up her phone. I was feeling confused, she was always in the biology lab, waiting for me. I didn’t have any interest in going back to my classroom so I walked to the roof, looking for a quiet and empty of people place.
I opened the door that led to the roof and saw a couple kissing each other passionately. I wanted to turn around and walk back from where I came, until I realized… I recognize that white coat…
REIKO!!!
“What are you doing??” I yelled, the rage controlling my mind, I could feel how the pain crept in my heart.
“Ma-chan…?” they let each other go and I could finally see who the guy is… I didn’t know him, maybe a third year?
“I was looking for you in the lab, but I couldn’t find you so I came here to eat my lunch and then I saw you...” I wasn’t able to continue, my words died unspoken…
“I`ll better go…” that bastard tried to walk away but Reiko held his hand so he wouldn’t leave, he stopped and smiled at her softly.
“No… I`ll explain it to Ma-chan,” she said.
“Explain it!!” I wanted to hear what her reasons were, why was she cheating on me.
“I cheated on you Ma-chan,” she smiled to me like she hadn’t done anything wrong, “And you can’t tell anyone about our affair Ma-chan, I know about your hooker mother and drunkard father, remember?”
That wasn’t the point! I wasn’t planning on telling anyone about this, I just wanted to know why have she cheated on me.
“This is not about my parents!! This is about us!!” I felt how my voice was getting louder.
“Well…There are no ‘us’ now, and to be honest, you`re a boring boy Ma-chan…” she replied.
“I won’t forgive you…” I couldn’t curse even if I wanted to call her the ugliest words there are, I`d never cursed before.
“I don’t need your forgiveness, Ma-chan,” She smiled at me and walked away keeping her hand entwined with that guy’s.
I needed someone to wake me up from this nightmare… This was all just a bad dream… My parents… Reiko… I just needed to wake up and realize that I was actually born in a normal family and I have normal girlfriend. I have a family who really loves me… But this nightmare wouldn’t disappear, I wouldn’t wake up. I didn’t have it in me to handle it any more…
I sat myself on the ground and hugged my knees to collect myself, I felt like my body will break into 2 pieces if I won’t do that.
I cried until all my tears dried out… I won’t run away anymore…I didn’t want to be the weak Masaki anymore…
That was the first time Sakurai Sho fell in love with someone ant the first time someone broke Aiba Masaki’s heart. At that time their lives changed…

I opened the door and saw a figure in front of me. He turned around so that he was facing me and I saw his shocked expression. I smiled, “Konnichiwa Sakurai-san…”
