I need help.

I can't stay with her..

I can't stay with myself...

I ran throughout the halls the very next day. I already had earned word abuse from my older sister. I gasped for air as I almost started hyperventilating.

What am I so worked up for?

Why am I so...nervous?

I need someone's help.

But, who?

"Hey!" I heard someone's voice. Rather deep and masculine if must say, I looked back. Him.

"H-Hey..." I stuttered, avoiding eye-contact. Though his eyes were more narrow and small, they were wide opened and full of life. My eyes...were full of nothing. Dull and lifeless.

How can you forgive me so easily?

So easily after I hurt you?

After I embarrassed you?

"U-Um...I never caught your name...I-I'm Aomine Daiki." He introduced, extending an arm towards me. I stared down at his hand with a face, not angry, but confused. He awkwardly coughed.

Why are you trying so hard to know me?

What's so interesting about me?

I'm just another useless soul to take up room.

I have so many questions for you.

"(Last Name) (First Name)..." I spoke up and waited for him to retreat his hand. I lightly huffed and looked away, still avoiding the eye-contact he was seeking.

"Listen, I'm sorry that I got all angry in your face yesterday,"

No, you're not.

The tone of your voice tells different.

It tells me you're only going easy on me.

"and I wanted to make it up to you."

Make it up to me...?

Why me?

Why me out of all people?

Why not that other girl?

"Oh, I-I...don't know..." I brought my hand up to my face, pulling on my bangs to cover my face. I slowly felt my cheeks heat up.

Why do I feel so embarrassed...?

Why am I blushing?

I can't just let this guy see this side of me...

I finally made eye-contact with the dark-skinned boy, he flinched at first and slowly, his eyes-widened. Widened at the fact I was blushing. I saw blush slowly creeping up onto his cheeks.

"U-Umm..." He gaped his mouth open, it seemed, trying to find words to say to me. I awkwardly coughed and turned away, just until my blushing...calmed down.

"I-I have a f-favour..." I started, looking back slight so he could only see a part of my face, "...can I stay...at your house?" I asked, knowing it was a weird and awkward question.

What am I saying?

I barely know this guy.

But, he's the only chance I have.

Wait...I'm using him...

At realization of what I thought, I looked down at the ground. I narrowed my eyes and clenched my teeth together.

Why am I so stupid?

It only makes me a monster to use someone...

I quickly dropped to the floor and covered my face, I buried my eyes into my palms and closed them when I felt the tears coming out. I quietly sobbed into my palms.

"O-Oi!" He shouted behind me, quickly coming to my side. He dropped to his knees from what it sounded like, he touched my back and held my right arm. "D-Don't cry..." It only made me want to cry more.

I heard him click his tongue.

There's the true side...I'd rather have you show me that, than lie to me.

"Girls look ugly when they cry...so don't cry..."

Thanks...
