The Month of April.
April 5.
Hey, I’m Nishikido Ryo, people call me Ryo, but my closest friends calls me Ryo-chan. I’ve always believed that my life is complete, that I have everything. My friends are the best, my family is great and I have the most beautiful girlfriend on the earth.
This changed, however, two months ago. My friends are still the best and my family will always be great. But my girlfriend is no longer the most beautiful person on the earth, that title belongs to Ueda Tatsuya now.

April 8.
Usually he’s alone and sitting outside on one of the many benches. His eyes are always fixed on the school gate, I wonder why? I’ve only seen him talk to two people here at school, they are Tanaka Koki and Nakamaru Yuichi. I don’t really know them, but Jin says they’re good people.

April 13.
I sat at the table in the cafeteria, my girlfriend sat on my lap and talked to our friends. I had my eyes on the door, like always, knowing that he would come through it any second now.
I was right, but there was something wrong. There was some guys following him, I could hear them taunt him. One of the pushed him and he fell to the ground. I was about to rise from my seat when Koki came. He pushed the guys away from him. I sighed in relief. I felt my girlfriend tense, but I didn’t really care, I was more worried about Ueda.

April 14.
I was on my way home from school, when I saw him. Once again his eyes were fixed on the school gate. I stopped next to him, but I didn’t say anything, I just stood there.
I saw a car pull up to the curve and a man came out of it. I heard Ueda sigh and saw that his head hung low. The man came up to us and grabbed Ueda’s arm. He Shoved him into the car and drove away.

April 22.
I haven’t seen him for a week now. I wonder what happened to him, since he’s not at school? When my girlfriend wasn’t near I asked Jin if he knew anything. He didn’t, but he had noticed that neither Nakamaru nor Koki was at school either.

April 24.
Me and my girlfriend broke up. She said she had fallen in love with someone else. I have too, but I didn’t say that, she would demand to know who and I’m not ready to tell anyone quite yet.
Jin said it’s okay to cry, but I just told him that the break up was necessary for the both of us, now we could continue chasing our dreams. He didn’t understand what I meant by that, I’m not quite sure I know what I mean by it.

April 26.
I still haven’t seen Ueda, but Koki and Nakamaru is back though. I hope Tatsuya comes back soon. I know I haven’t really talked to him before, but I really miss him. I miss his smile, his personality (when it’s not closed down deep inside of him) and I miss his presence.
I really, really hope that he comes back soon.

April 30.
He’s back, but he has changed. His arm is broken and he has stitches right above his left eye. I’m concerned about him, but Jin said that neither Koki nor Nakamaru will let me come close to him now.
My parents said that they wanted me to take over the family store after I’m done at school. They own a cute little bookstore, we have everything from old to new books. I’m not so sure I want to take over, at least not now.
It’s already the last day of April I can’t quite believe it. I’m soon going to graduate from high school. I only have my exams left. It’s going to be sad when we’re graduated. I’m not going to be able to see Jin or Pi every day, I just hope that we won’t lose contact completely.
End of the month of April
