As I cried in Mrs. Victor’s lap, I remembered my Aunt and Tatsuya.
Tatsuya also left our Elementary School. The one I liked. Left me. There would be two people who left me. Both my Aunt and Tatsuya. Both I hold dearly both too. Left me. Like it was nothing
“Mrs. Victor. I’m useless, helpless, and you pity me don’t you?” I asked her. Crying.
“No dear. No. Why would I? You’re a wonderful young girl. Don’t say that to yourself” Mrs. Victor said
“Then. Why did you lie to me about my Aunt?” I asked.
Mrs. Victor forzed. Her face and her mouth trying to put the expression and words to explain, but she just can’t say it.
“It’s alright Mrs. Victor. Let’s just go to graduation day. Tell me when you’re ready to tell” I said. “Now leave” I ordered.
“Alright dear. I’ll be waiting down stairs. I’ll give you a few minutes to figure this out” Mrs. Victor said. Stood up and left.
I sat here again. Alone once again.What was I going to do with my life now? What was I going to do without the people I truly liked? Victoria’s cool and all, But still. I miss Tatsuya. I miss my Aunt. Whatever happens, I will find an explanation and reason why my Aunt left me. It might be a good reason, but it could also be a dark, painful, cold reason. But I don’t care. I promised my Aunt. Whatever happens, I would always love her.
I then wiped my tears and hopped to my Wheelchair. I wheeled myself out. Ready to start a new journey. A new fresh chapter of my life. Mr, Mrs Victor, and Victoria were all waiting for me outside. Being the good friend Victoria was, she panicked and worried for me. But I assure her I’m fine.
We then went to the car and drove to my Elementary School. The graduation ceremony went on. We had a choir and had flowers. Finally in a long time. I felt that time was moving fast and was enjoyable. Not like the dim, slow, painful days before this. It was so fast in fact, that suddenly. In a blink of an eye. It was over.
What was going to happen to me now? Public Middle School? It's scary. Meeting people in their Puberty phase. With them being all emotional. I have no one else. Mr and Mrs Victor only took me in because they pitied me. Victoria isn’t at all reliable at so many things, Tatsuya left, and my Aunt abandoned me.
It felt as if it was over for me. No one was there for me. No shoulder to cry on. It was over there and there was something I have been saying to myself. Before something big happened.
Me, Mr and Mrs. Victor, and Victoria were heading out. Mr Victor and Victoria was walking behind us and I was wheeled by Mrs. Victor behind them. As we got out of the school and saw the afternoon sky. There was a sudden faint yet familiar name calling my name.
“Rhoa! Rhoa!” The voice screamed.
Suddenly a figure appeared.
Out of nowhere. Tatsuaya appeared.
Not only did Tatsuya appear, but a sudden burst of emotions did. Where did he go all this time? And how dare he come back to my life like this. This isn't the feeling I expected with Tatsuya. I’ve been hoping and praying for Tatsuaya to come back to my life, I imagine once he does. It would be alright. I would be happy again. But now. Just seeing him and listening to him enrages me. I wasn’t happy. I was Angry, Sad, Frustrated. I wasn't alright. I tilted my head down, As I tried to bury these emotions.
“Rhoa! I’m sorry” Tatsuya said.
I paused.
“What do you want now?” I asked with a cold voice.
“Let’s hang out again,” He says casually.
I don’t know if just seeing him, or maybe how he speaks so casually after leaving me without saying a word. But I'm pissed. We were friends, weren't we? Aren’t you the one who wanted to be my friend? I couldn’t hold back anymore. You need the pain that you’ve inflicted to me. All those sorrow days I spent alone in class. Those sorrowful evenings I spent going home alone, and the sorrow nights I slept knowing that you left me.
“Mr and Mrs. Victor and Victoria. You can leave. I want to talk to him alone. Please” I said to them.
“Alright dear. Goodluck” Mrs. Victor said.
“Alright Rho.” Victoria said.
Mr. Victor nodds. They then left us alone.
Tatsuya then approaches me.
“So Rhoa. What’s up? How’s lif-” Before he could finish. I slapped his face as hard as I could from my Wheelchair.
Tatsuya flinched after he got hit.
I started crying. Just realizing what I did to poor little Tatsuaya.
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Tatsuya” I cried while trying to grab his cheek to assess his face.
“Rhoa. I’m the one who should say sorry. I left you” Tatsuya said. He started crying too.
“I’m sorry. I can explain myself” Tatsuya said.
I wiped my tears.
“What is there to explain, Tatsuaya? You left me alone and that’s a fact. Nothing can change about it. Our friendship’s over!” I said. Starting to get frustrated.
“Do you even know what I’m getting through right now? Do you know why I left?!” Tatsuya said. Also frustrated.
“I left because my Parents got divorced, Alright.” Tatsuya said.
I regretted saying those words. “Our friendship was over”. What was I thinking? We’ve been friends since I moved to Kansas City, and it’s not like Tatsuya to do things like leaving without any words. I froze in front of him. Processing the information that Tatsuya just said.
“Rhoa. If you don’t want to be friends anymore. Then alright. Just know that those years without you also hurted and I had to fight my way back here because I wanted to be with you” Tatsuya said.
He looked at me. Waiting for a reply. But I was too ashamed to answer. I was too lost in my emotions. These emotions that I have been burying. I couldn’t talk. My mouth wouldn’t open.
Tatsuya then places his head down. A few silent awkward seconds later. Tatsuya looks at me with a deep sight. Turned around and left. Leaving me alone, once again.
