When Love Hurts 42
***********************

Hitomi looked at the girl lying next to her who was sleeping peacefully. It looked so different from the woman that she was on the stage. When she fell asleep it was like if she could go back to the Maki that Yossi met years ago, when both were young and innocent.

She couldn’t remember how many times they ended like this, talking until late night in the bed, sharing their worries, their deepest thoughts or just laughing at some funny that happened during the day. Sometimes, they stayed awake until morning; sometimes they were too tired and fell asleep after a few minutes. But, not matter if it was for a second or for hours, Yossi always felt relieved if she could share those moments with Maki.

But now, she wasn’t even sleepy. After what happened with Rika hours ago, the memories was so vivid that, if she tried to close here eyes, she could feel the pain as she felt it the first time she placed her hands on Ishikawa’s body that night.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

“She doesn’t need you anymore…”

That wasn’t exactly what Yossi was expecting when she called her girlfriend. It wasn’t even Rika-chan who picked up the phone.

After her last fight with Ishikawa, Yossi went to talk with Gocchin looking for some friend’s advice after what happened. The first thing she did after leaving Maki’s apartment was to call Rika ‘cause she wanted to apologize for the way she left and try to talk with her in a civilized way before things went worst.

What she wasn’t expecting it was to hear Erika’s voice at the other side of the line.

And there she was, waiting in Rika’s doorway, with a lot of questions in her mind.

“You’re late, you know? She doesn’t want to see you”

Erika again. She was who opened the door, and the fact that she was half naked it wasn’t something that helped Yossi to relax.

“Let me in” demanded Yossi”

“Give up already, Yoshizawa. She not the innocent Rika-chan anymore”

She’s not… innocent anymore?

What was trying Erika to say? And then, putting two and two together, she realized the truth. She’d lost Rika completely.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

“What’s going on with you today?” asked Makoto “I know Koharu can be annoying but she’s doing her best to like you”

“I’m tired of babysitting…”

The cold answer left Mako-chan even more worried. From three days ago, Yossi had began to act like a dictator, shouting around and scolding the girls for every little mistake they did, specially Koharu, who seemed to have all her attention. She was sure there was something really big bugging her leader.

----------------------------------------------------------------

“What are you doing here?”

Rika-chan was scared, really scared. She’d never had seen that look on her girlfriend’s face. It was anger, sadness, desperation… But why was Hitomi that way? She was the one hurt. Yossi didn’t have the right to be upset.

“I haven’t seen you in almost one week. I’ve missed you” Yoshizawa’s voice was cold.

The situation turned more awkward when Rika felt Yossi’s arms around her waist, holding her in a suffocating grip.

“You’re drunk?” asked Ishikawa when Yossi’s breathe caressed her lips.

The anticipation of what’s going to happen travelled around Rika’s body in the form of goosebumps. But she was too afraid to do anything.

“Yossi…, don’t…”

She tried to say something when she felt one of her girlfriend’s hands leaving her waist and going under the shorts of the pyjama, but Hitomi sealed her lips with a brutal kiss. There was no love in it, just rage.

“Stop it… please…”

-------------------------------------------------------------------

A tear began to roll down Yossi’s face. There wasn’t a single day that she didn’t regret what happened…

“I’m… I’m sorry, Rika-chan. I didn’t want to…”

Ishikawa was too shocked to say anything. She just could look at Yossi and cry asking her why.

“I’m sorry…” repeated Hitomi who began to cry too.

“Get out…” said Rika finally with and almost inaudible voice “Please…”

The sunrise illuminated the room and Hitomi turned to look at her friend who was still sleeping.

“Thank you” she whispered removing carefully a lock of hair from Maki’s face “I don’t know what I’d had done without you…”
