When Love Hurts 55

**********************

Two girls where sitting in silence in one of the hall couches, still shocked.

“You know…, that’s…”

“Weird” said Nono ending Risa’s sentence.

“Yeah…”

Both sighed and crossed her arms at the same time. Then Gaki-san closed her eyes and laid her head back in the couch.

“But…” began to say the younger again “In some way.., I envy them. To be loved by someone with so much passion… It has to be great”

Nozomi turned to her friend. She could feel a bit of sadness in the voice of the other girl.

“Aren’t you with Ai-chan?”

“Yeah, but you know how she is” answered Risa returning to a more comfortable position “She lives in her own world and, sometimes, it makes me feel lonely. It’s like if she doesn’t care about if I’m there or not”

Then Gaki-san realized that she was saying her thoughts out loud to someone that maybe wasn’t interested on hearing it.

“Uhm, sorry. I’m bothering you with my silly thoughts…”

“No, it’s ok” answered an understanding Nozomi “But don’t you think that it’s Ai-chan who actually should hear this?”

“What I should hear?” said someone behind them.

Both turned to look at the owner of the voice and Risa suddenly began to feel really awkward. She didn’t want to tell her girlfriend about her worries.

“We were talking about what happened right now” said Nono rescuing her friend. She had seen the restless in the younger when Takahashi appeared and understood that Gaki couldn’t be open with her girl about what they were talking, at least, not at that moment “Yocchan and Miki have made things up just in front of Aya”

“It seems that I’ve missed the fun, uh? Doesn’t matter…” she said smiling and leaning to her girlfriend to kiss her briefly on the lips “I know better ways to have fun, right?”

Risa smiled and nodded as if nothing happened but Nono knew that it was all fake, and then realized how many times she’d seen that same smile, how always Gaki reply Ai-chan with a simple nod, without words, without complaints. A single thought crossed her mind... If Takahashi wasn’t nuts about that girl then life wasn’t fair.

“That’s not true!” shouted Rika suddenly interrupting Maki “I wanted to be with you! I wanted to give you everything! But you…” tears began to overflow from her eyes “…you had to ruin it all…”

“That’s something that’s gonna be always with me” answered Yossi “But I’m not going to let that single error to rule my life. The times when I believed you have passed, Ishikawa, long time ago”

Just another girl there aside Rika and Yossi knew about what the girls where talking and the feelings inside her began to be very confusing. She felt proud, very proud of Yocchan for being able to face up the situation with so much determination, but at the same time, she felt sorry for Rika. All that seemed a very big misunderstanding where she didn’t have any blame.

Yoshizawa suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Maki with a worried expression on her face.

“Yocchan, before saying anything more, there’s something you should know”
