OHAS Chapter 46.
It's been almost 6 months since I wrote this fic. I will finish this fic eventually! For now here's Chapter 46.
Random thought: Seems like GRA episodes are hard to find. Makes me wonder if no one is willing to share GRA because the series is bad or something. Just feeling that it's a bit strange. Oh well, I'll just be thankful with what is available. As always. ^^ Can't afford to complain ne. It's better than in the early days of Arashi fandom. ^^
Chapter 46
"Sora... Sora... Wake up honey." Mizuno's mother softly whispered into her daughter's right ear as she pulled down the blanket from covering her shoulders. "Dinner is ready."
Mizuno stirred and slowly opened her eyes. "Mama?," she croaked, "Nani...?"
Mrs. Mizuno sat down on the bed. "It's time for dinner. Go wash up and eat some food." She placed a hand on Mizuno's forehead. "Are you okay, honey? You have been sleeping since we've arrived this morning."
Mizuno turned her face away. "I... I..." She coughed slightly, "Sleep. Tired." She winced involuntarily. The ache in her temple hadn't disappeared yet.
"Sora..." Mrs. Mizuno kissed her daughter's forehead softly. "If you're thirsty, I've put a glass of ginger and honey water here," she briefly picked up the glass from the bedside table, "And let me just put this cool patch on your forehead." The feel of cool sheet on her face brought some ease to Mizuno's warm body. Her eyes flickered before shutting and didn't see her mother's worried face as she left the bedroom. "Rest well Sora. Good night honey." With that Mrs. Mizuno closed the door with a gentle click and went downstairs.
When Mrs. Mizuno reached the dining room, her anxiety was not missed by her husband. Mr. Mizuno pulled out a chair and invited his wife to sit. "How's Sora? Is she alright?"
Mrs. Mizuno shook her head and felt a comforting squeeze on her shoulders. She turned to look up at her husband. "She said she's just tired and wanted to sleep some more." Her eyes followed her husband to his seat. "I don't know. She's not behaving like herself."
"Is that so? Is it because of her work?"
"Maybe. Her feet are full of blisters and cuts."
"I see." Mr. Mizuno replied as he picked up his chopsticks. "Anything else?"
Mrs. Mizuno mirrored his action. "She didn't say much since we left her apartment." She sighed.
"What is it?"
"Something doesn't feel right. It's like she's hiding something."
Mr. Mizuno raised an eyebrow. "Well, it better not be that Sakurai boy again. Nothing good will come out if that boy is in the picture!" His expression hardened as he remembered the problems his daughter had to suffer before.
"Now now dear. The food is going cold." Mrs. Mizuno didn't want to discuss the matter further. "Itadakimasu."
"Itadakimasu."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, Mizuno laid eyes closed, but mind whirling. Her emotions and thoughts were in a jumble. Though the familiarity and comfort of her bedroom was welcome, she hated not being able to do anything. Hated being weak and vulnerable. Vulnerable.
Mizuno cried. She thought she was strong, she thought she could handle it, she thought she'd be alright, but she was wrong. When she woke up without Sho by her side, she was hurt.
[i]He said he won't leave until I wake up.
He has work to do. News Zero is live on Monday nights.
But he promised!
Please be reasonable. You know his work is important!
Last night was special. He said so too.
He's a guy. He'll say anything to get into your pants.
He said he won't leave me. I didn't get to say goodbye.
Maybe you should say bye bye to his worthless arse.[/i]
Mizuno pulled her blanket up and bury her face in it. The tears keep coming out. She didn't want to think about it anymore. She understood the situation. Their responsibilities, their sacrifices, their secret. She knew, she was prepared for it. It shouldn't have hurt so much when he broke his promises.
But it did. It hurt.
[i] Maybe I'm not ready for this.
Maybe I'm expecting too much.
Maybe I'm not understanding enough.
Maybe I cared too much.
Maybe I'm not good enough for him. Who knows how many women had open their legs for him.
Maybe he has tired of me.
Maybe he's going to leave me after getting the deed done. He didn't think about marriage at all.
Maybe we should break up.
Yeah, we should break up. The sooner, the better. Less painful for both of us.
Less painful for me.[/i]
"Less painful for me..." Mizuno whispered softly. She could taste the salt in her tears. Doubts, fear and uncertainty plagued her. It had always been since she started dating the Johnny's idol, Sakurai Sho. Now those anxieties broke its bank and reared their ugly heads. "Maybe this is the way it should end." She shut her eyes tighter as fresh tears threatened to come out. Her chest tightened and she forced air in to ease the pain. The hot tears slipped and didn't stop. Mizuno cried and cried, feeling weaker and weaker until sleep came as a relief. It wasn't a good night. It felt like the beginning of the end.
