Chapter 7 - Chapter:Again, this was My Fault

"Why do I do this to myself. I was right, I will always be the antagonist in this story. No matter, what this is the role I fulfill. All roads, twisty or straight, will lead to this outcome."

I go to the edge of the roof and I look out and see the scenery. What was once bright and colorful turned into a dark and gloomy day. I knew it was my fault and everything was on me.

"Wait, don't jump you have so much to live for!"

"Wait what?Who are you?"

A girl who seemed to be younger than me hugged me from behind. It seemed like she thought I was gonna jump. Whatever it was, I'll just scare her off like the others.

"Well you do know who I am, right?"

"Of course you are Akari Nakamura, the brother of Miss Popular."

"If you were concerned about me jumping I wasn't gonna do that."

"What were you doing then?"

"I was... thinking and regretting some past choices and some present ones."

"Oh, I see then. If you ever want someone to speak to find me. I'm in room two forty seven and I will be there if you need someone to talk to."

Wait a minute this young girl is a teacher.Wait did she hit her growth spurt yet or didn't. Well she seems nice and caring.

"I'll consider your offer miss...uh?"

"Miss Mora, Akira"

"Right, I'll consider it Miss Mora."

Miss Mora leaves the roof and I follow moments later. Now I'm in the classroom and I see Yuki and Kazumi. Kazumi has her head down and Yuki is comforting her, but she still glares at me. What's done is done, I can't fix what can't be fixed.

"I'm sorry about him and his attitude."

"It's all right, it was probably our fault."

"By "our", you mean?"

"Me and my mom. I guess karma does come back like a bullet."

"Kazumi, what did you and your mom do to Akira?"

"We didn't take notice of his pain and the rumors that were spreading. It was all because of our apathetic attitude that all this happened."

Even if I can't see her face to face I know she is feeling regret. I keep staring at them and it seems like Yuki knows I'm looking. She starts to glare daggers at me and it sends a chill down my spine.

My conscience tells me I can fix this but my doubt says I can't. The only thing I can do now is let things play out.

The day went normal having class then gym then leaving. The only abnormal thing about the day was the atmosphere, it was unbearable for me, but maybe uncomfortable for others.

The bell rang and other students start to leave. Yuki and Kazumi left aswell and Kazumi left something behind. I was about to leave until I was stopped by the twins from student council.

"We have something to speak to you about."

"Well what is it?"

"We need you to answer one little question."

Before I answer their question, they are Akiko and Aiko Inoue, part of student council. They always roam the halls making sure students are following the rules. But why do they want me to answer a question.

"Our question is, do you really hate your family? We just want to know."

Out of all questions they ask, they had to ask that? I Don't necessarily hate my family, but I do dislike them to an extent.

"I don't hate them as much as I wanted to. It's hard for me, to express my feelings. Is that it?"

"Yes it is."

"You may leave now."

"Thank you."

I prepare to leave but I get blocked at the gate. Yuki was standing there with her umbrella and was looking at me.

"Do you really hate them?"

"I told you I do. You heard me with Kazumi, I hate them both."

"Why did I ever help you. You don't deserve my help or anyone else's. You deserve to be where you were left."

I didn't say anything and Yuki leaves. I was standing in front of the gate pondering my own decisions. I look up at the sky and I say.

"Again, this was my fault."
