What I thought wasn’t mine

In the light

Was one of a kind

A precious pearl

What had started out as a simple conversation ended up turning into a fight.

Chie walked awayfrom Aoi. She knew that was something that she should not have done, but it had seemed right at the time. Chie stopped and turned around to apologize only to see the other girl walking away. “I guess I really screwed this one up.” Chie whispered as she turned around and walked away.

Aoi didn’t understand why Chie had to say that. They had seemed happy together. She wanted to apologize, even though she had done nothing wrong. Aoi figured that she should leave the other girl alone for a little while and then try to talk to her. All Aoi hoped was that they could resolve this issue and go back to the way things were.

It seemed like hours before Aoi managed to make it back to her dorm room. She was glad to see that her roommate wasn’t there. Right now, Aoi wasn’t in the mood for Nao’s attitude. She shut the door and then collapsed on the couch that was in their room.

“Why does Chie have to be like that?” Aoi started to cry. “Doesn’t she understand that I love her and only her? I never thought the school’s gossip queen would ever believe a rumor about her girlfriend.”

Aoi threw the pillow across the room. “Why did she have to bring that up?!”

She wanted to throw another pillow since it felt good to let some of her anger go, but she was interrupted by a knock on the door. Aoi got up and went to the door. She opened it only to see Chie. “What are you doing here? I think you have made yourself clear.”

“I came to see if our relationship is going to work.” Chie could tell that Aoi was still upset with her, but Chie couldn’t wait anymore to talk to her. “Can I come in? Or are we going to discuss this with the entire dormitory?”

Aoi moved out of the way and said, “Come on in.” She didn’t want everyone to know what was going on with them.

“Is it true? Are you really dating Nao?”

“No, I’m not!” Aoi was upset. “I can’t believe you have to ask me that. Nao is my best friend in the entire world. I would never date someone who I think of as my little sister!”

Chie knew better then to believe the rumors that she passed on to the entire student body, but for some reason this one made her think that something was going on. “I’m sorry, but I don’t believe you. You spend more time with her then you do me!”

“That is just being selfish!”

“No, its not!”

Aoi blinked back tears. “If that is the way you feel, then we should probably start seeing other people. I can’t be with someone who doesn’t believe me.”

Chie glared at her. “That is just what I was getting ready to tell you.”

“Get out!” Aoi barked. She didn’t want to be anywhere near her. “Oh and as for our friendshi-“

“It’s over too!” Chie exclaimed before she left Aoi’s apartment.

The minute that she left Aoi’s dorm room, Chie started to cry. She didn’t understand why she was crying. She very rarely ever cried. It just wasn’t Chie’s style.

Chie wiped her eyes as she left the dormitory. Right now, she just wanted to be alone to think. She had to figure out a way to apologize to Aoi. When Chie got to the flower garden, she walked up to the terrace and sat on the steps.

“Why? Why did she break up with me? Why would I believe that rumor? Why couldn’t I just pass it off like all the others?!” Chie yelled. “When did I turn into the jealous type?”

Finally, Chie couldn’t hold it back any longer and she started to cry. It felt good to let everything out. She wondered if Aoi was just as upset as she was. Chie hoped that she was. The reason being was that Chie never had any intention of breaking up with Aoi. All she wanted was an explanation, which was something that she wouldn’t be getting.

After sitting there for a hour, Chie decided that she should go back to her room and try to work on her homework. She stood up and walked back to her room. She didn’t know what she was going to do because she couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened.

Chie didn’t realize that she had walked to the dormitory. She also didn’t realize that she her name had been said. When she did realize it, she looked up and saw Aoi.

“What do you want?!” Chie couldn’t help but pretend to be angry. She wasn’t sure what exactly Aoi was doing here.

“Mai said that we should talk this out.” Aoi really wanted to work everything out with Chie, but she couldn’t bring herself to say that it was her and not Mai.

“Unless you want things to be the way they were, you need to be ready to talk about it.” Chie said as she walked past her ex-girlfriend. “Until then, don’t think about talking to me.”

Aoi watched Chie go. “Why did you think that I was dating Nao? You should have known that wasn’t true.”

Chie sighed as she came to a stop. “I told you why.”

“It doesn’t make sense though.” Aoi slowly walked over to Chie. “You knew why I had to spend so much time with her.”

“You broke up with me. So why do you even need an explanation?” When Chie started to walk away, she felt Aoi grab her hand. “Let go.”

“No!” Aoi took a deep breath and said, “It was me who wanted to talk things out. I’m sorry that I broke up with you, but I was so upset.”

Chie turned around and said, “So are you going to apologize to me?”

“Why should I do that?”

“Because then I will too.”

Aoi smiled. “So does this mean that we are back together?”

Chie shook her head. “No, not yet.”

“Oh,” Aoi was hoping that Chie wasn’t mad at her still, “ok.”

Chie brushed a loose strand of hair behind Aoi’s ear. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry for thinking that you were dating her. I’m sorry for everything that I said. I know that this is a hard time for Nao and you are just doing what you can.”

“Of course I am.” Aoi sighed as she remembered their earlier conversation about her roommate. “Losing someone that important to her is going to be hard and I need to be there for her. Right now I’m the only family that she has.”

Chie hugged Aoi. “You’re doing a good job. Nao is a hard one to handle, but then again she does know what she is doing. I just wish that we knew what we were doing.”

“I don’t want to be apart anymore. I want to get back together.” Aoi let go of Chie and said, “I’m sorry for everything that I said too. You just have to promise me that you won’t believe anymore of those rumors.”

“Promise.”

Before Chie could say anything else, she felt Aoi’s lips on hers. What was suppose to be a quick kiss turned out to be a passionate one. When the need for air came, they both pulled apart for a few moments.

“So do you think our little fight was all Nao’s fault?” Chie asked as she pulled Aoi close to her. She didn’t care what the other girls in the dormitory thought about them.

“Why?”

“Because I think the rumor was started by Nao. How else would Mikoto know anything like that?”

“You believed Mikoto?!” Aoi was shocked. “I can’t believe that. I mean why would you?”

“She was really convincing.”

“Then, yes, I do think that this was all Nao’s fault.” Aoi wrapped her arms around Chie’s waist as she laid her head on her girlfriend’s shoulder. “I’ll talk to her about it later.”

“Good.”

They didn’t know how long they had been standing there or that they had attracted a little crowd, but all they knew was that the fight was over and they were happy again, which was all that mattered to them.

I’m curious to know what people thought about this chapter. Let me know either way. I hope everyone liked it! Bye!
