Chapter III: Broken
Noriko was walking down the street from her job, and saw a couple walking towards her. She looked up and saw a couple walking towards her.
The man looked at her before putting his head down and wrapping his arm protective around the woman who was rubbing her stomach slight.
Noriko stopped walking and looked at them, she felt the tears fall quickly. ‘Sho…’ she thought.
She knew it was him and she knew the woman most have been Mizumi. She swallowed and ran to the train she bumped into someone but didn’t stop to see who it was.
Jumping onto the crowed train she sighed and tired to bush her tears away quickly.
‘He didn’t want me to see him…he’s probably so happy with Mizumi…’ she thought looking out of the window as the train went thought the city. ‘Why does it have to hurt this much?’ she wondered.
Tears stung her eyes, but she fought to keep them at bay.
‘Sho…Nande…Nande…wasn’t I enough took keep your attention..’ Noriko thought squeezing her eyes shut. ‘To keep your love?’
A few tears escaped her closed eyes but luckily she was at her stop. Noriko ran from the train station, as soon as the doors opened and didn’t stop till she was at the apartment.
‘I gave you everything Sho…everything in my heart…’ she thought taking off her shoes.
Noriko got angrier as the tears fell down her cheeks, “I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING!” She yelled throwing her shoes at the door.
“EVERYTHING! NANDE? NANDE WASN’T I GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?” she yelled and cried, “I HATE YOU SHO! I HATE YOU SO MUCH!”
She sank to her knees repeating, “I hate you Sho…I hate you…”
Ohno quickly exited the bath room a black towel around his shoulders and his button up from work was open and hastily thrown on.
He saw Noriko sitting on her knees crying and repeating her hate for Sho over and over. Ohno wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly.
Noriko struggled from his grasps and pushed him way.
“I can’t do this anymore Satoshi.” She said miserably, “I can’t forget him and the pain and hurt he’s caused me.”
She covered her eyes, “Even if I try with all my might I see his smiling face everywhere, I feel his arms around me, I…I can’t take it!” she yelled in frustration.
Ohno rubbed her back, “Calm down Nori-chan…shh, it’ll get better.”
“How Satoshi? How will it get better? In a few months he’s going to be a father!” she yelled getting up.
“I saw him today too…with her!” she yelled, pacing the now hard wood floors. “Being such a happy couple…with HER!”
“Stop it Nori…” Ohno said softly not looking at her.
“HOLDING HER…Why her? Of all the people why her? I loved him I was there for him yet he ch-”
“STOP NORIKO!” Ohno yelled from his place on the floor.
Noriko turned to look at him and saw that he was crying as well. Stopping was she was doing she kneeled in front of him.
“Just stop it…” he said softly, “Can’t you see I’m hurting too?”
“Sato-”
“I have to go day in and day out knowing she is with someone else. Knowing I was never good enough for her. Knowing she’s going to have a baby by my best friend and not me.” Ohno didn’t look at her as he started to shake as he cried, “I tried to do everything good by her and she…she cheated on me with Him…”
“Satoshi…I’m so sorry.” Noriko said looking at him, “I was-”
“Nande…do we have to keep apologizing for things that aren’t our fault?” He said cutting her off once more. “We were in love…are still in love with people that didn’t just rip out our hearts but shattered them with a hammer and watch as they go be a happy family.”
“What can we do Satoshi? How can we stop crying and finally let go of them?” Noriko asked placing her head on his shoulder again. Ohno let her and rested his head on her shoulder.
“I don’t know Nori-chan…” He breathed out, “I don’t know…but I wish I did.”
Noriko breathed out, “That makes two of us.” She said heavily.
They both sat in silence for a while, not thinking and trying not to feel either. They both knew this feeling wasn’t going anywhere for a long while, but even with that in their minds they were both extremely glad they had someone to lean on when they needed.
~*~
After work Ohno and Noriko sat on the couch watching a movie. They both needed time to unwind and just relax with the dark emotional cloud looming over their head.
Noriko had her head on Ohno’s lap and he had his fingers he her long black hair. They were both content.
A loud banging at the door broke them of their calming atmosphere.
“NORIKO! OHNO! OPEN THIS DOOR!” a loud female voice called in the hallway.
Ohno looked down at the now stiff Noriko.
“Did you tell, Yori about…” Ohno started but saw Noriko shake her head. He sighed and rubbed his fingers through his hair.
“OPEN UP!”
Ohno got off the couch and Noriko turned off the movie sitting on the couch stiffly. Ohno opened the door a bit and Yori pushed the door open fully.
“Really Yori, couldn’t you have at least waited till he opened the door?” a lazy voice called beside her.
“Nino-kun, he was taking forever.” Yori said glaring at Ohno and sprinting over to the couch. Ohno looked out behind Nino and saw Aiba and Rin walking towards them with plastic bags, full of food and drinks.
‘So much for a quiet evening with no drama.’ Ohno thought closing the door after everyone was inside.
“Nori-chan! I haven’t heard from you in two months…and when I talking to Mizumi-” Noriko looked at Ohno when Yori said that name. He stiffed but sat next to her on the couch, close enough to her so she could lend him her support but far enough away no to give their friends the wrong idea. “…and she told me that she was pregnant with Sho’s child!”
Noriko looked down, not able to look at her friend.
“Yori, stop talking.” Nino said sighing and rolling his eyes.
“Shut up Nino, no one asked you.” Yori said angrily, glaring at her boyfriend.
“Yori-chan…I think we should let them tell us what happened.” Rin said lightly feeling how deeply uncomfortable the two seemed about the topic.
“We haven’t seen or really heard anything from the both of you in a while.” Aiba said, “We got worried.”
“So we came over here to see what was up.” Nino said, “After stopping off at your old apartment that is Oh-chan.”
“Hai, we went there and we were shocked to see a five month pregnant Mizumi answering the door.” Yori said, “I was shocked but I hugged her and congratulated her! I even shocked when I saw the diamond engagement ring on her finger.”
Ohno looked pale and Noriko looked as if she was about to cry.
“Five months pregnant?” Noriko questioned a bit sickly.
“Engagement ring?” Ohno asked softly.
Nino sighed, “Honey, I thought you’d stop speaking by now.” He said looking out the window.
“Nani? Of course I could still speak.” Yori said folding her arms.
“With that big foot in your mouth I don’t see how that’s possible.” He said not looking at her.
Aiba sighed, “Gomenasai, we thought you guys knew all this.” He said sadly, “We just found out as well.”
“I knew Mizumi was pregnant, Sho…” Noriko felt her throat close as she said his name, “Sho told me she was pregnant with his child. That’s the reason why he broke up with me.”
Ohno was silent, “Sumimasen.” He said quickly getting off of the couch and going into the bathroom silently.
“What’s wrong with Ohno?” Rin asked with a sad look plastered on her face.
Noriko looked back at the bathroom, before turning to answer her friend. “Ohno and Mizumi broke up the same day as Sho and I and he was going to propose to her.” Noriko said, “We both assumed Mizumi was two months pregnant.”
Yori felt bad hearing this news, “Noriko…I’m so-”
“Iie.” Noriko said smiling sadly, “It’s not your fault Yori, don’t beat yourself up because of this.”
Nino looked sadly at the group before getting up, “I think we should leave.” He said looking at them. “Come on You…we need to talk about you ability to sense what people are feeling.” He said picking up Yori and pushing her out the door.
Rin hugged Noriko, before they followed the other two.
Aiba looked at Noriko and sighed, “Don’t wait so long to contact us next time.” He said pulling her into a hug as well. We worry about you Noriko, you and Oh-chan…take care or at least try to okay.”
“You know I will.” Noriko said, “We’re helping each other with this.”
Aiba sighed once more, “Take care Imouto.”
“Hai, you too Nii-chan.” Noriko said, “We’ll be fine.”
Aiba nodded and walked out of the door.
Noriko closed the door swiftly behind him and quickly made herself to the bathroom. She tested the door and found it was unlocked.
Bracing herself, she walked inside and saw Ohno sitting on the toilet with the lit closed his shoulders were shaking and he kept his hands over his eyes. It was a sign that he was crying.
Noriko placed her head on his leg and sat there as he cried.
‘I’m here for you Satoshi…Let me be your strength.’ She thought closing her eyes. Willing him everything ounce of energy that she was there for him.
