When Love Hurts 24
***********************

Yossi was worried. She had a bad feeling when she saw Aya and Miki leaving the room almost two hours ago and they hadn’t return yet. Ishikawa was missing too, and that made her worry even more.

She stopped a staff guy who was walking to the studio.

“You’ve seen Fujimoto?”

“Mmh.., yeah” said the guy surprised by sudden request “She was at 4^th floor some minutes ago”

4^th floor? What is she doing there? Oh… oh!

“Thank you!” exclaimed Hitomi while running towards the elevator.

Now Yoshizawa was sure that something had happened. As Yuko said, that was the best place if you don’t want to be bothered and there wasn’t another reason for Miki being alone there.

When she arrived at the service room the door was closed, but not locked.

“Miki?” she said switching on the lights.

There she was. Seated on the ground, with her head buried in her knees and a bag with ice upon her right hand.

“What happened?” asked Yossi kneeling in front of the girl “How did you hurt your hand?”

“It crashed against Ishikawa’s face” said Fujimoto without looking at her.

“You’ve punched her?!

“Sort of…” she raised her head a little to look at her girlfriend “Well.., I’ve broken her nose, actually”

Hitomi didn’t have to ask why ‘cause the other girl answer before.

“She slept with Aya” said Miki looking at her with her eyes red from crying.

“Oh…”

Yossi didn’t know what more she could say. Even now that they were together, she knew that Miki will always love Aya and she couldn’t do anything to change that. The only she could do was to seat next to Miki and comfort her.

“Come here” she said passing an arm behind Fujimoto’s back and attracting her.

Miki leaned towards her girlfriend and rest her head on Yossi’s shoulder.

“Why it hurts so much?” asked beginning to cry again “Even now that I’m with you, now that I can love someone else, she continue hurting me. I’m such a bad person to deserve that?”

“Of course not” replied Hitomi holding her closer “Don’t dare to think that again”

After a few minutes in silence Miki seemed to calm down and fell asleep. She was too tired. Yossi caressed her cheek and cleaned the remains of the tears trying to fight the guilty that was growing inside her.

That’s all my fault and I can’t do anything to make you feel better. I’m sorry, Miki.

“I love you” she said leaning to kiss the girl in her arms.

She could hear a whisper coming from the sleepy as an answer.

“I love you too”
