Menace and manipulation.

It... It hurts a lot...

Seeing that he is always right in front of me, yet now he is so far away... should I cry? I already did that... should I just stand still? I am doing that.

At this point... what should I even do? What does people even do?

I crumbled up on my bed, throwing my bag to the ground and removing my uniform. Without anything, I fell down hugging my bed.

"I need warmth..." I mumbled to myself... I needed my sunlight that was taken away from me.

Rebellious thoughts lingered in my head many times during these past couple of days. But every time I did, the scenery of my... dad lingered in my head. I don't want to see him anymore. Honestly, thats the only reason I am this powerless...

"It's been only five days..." tears rolled down my face, wetting my bedsheets. Deep down I knew, this tragedy wont go away until I do something. How long will I endure? How long can one physically or mentally endure? Why... why.. why... why is it me? Does the world... hate me this much?

"I think... death loves me more than life. But I-I... love him more than myself..." I cried.

I have always avoided this feeling lingering in my heart, shaking it off as just a kind gesture from him. "He is just kind to me" I soothed myself. "He just helps me" I said to myself.

Well yeah... and that's exactly why I seemed to have fallen for him. Why was I hiding from my feelings all along? Why am I feeling like this now?

It was fear... I feared it was one sided. That's why I ran away from them. But now... I don't even care. I love him, fallen for him on the first day we met... this love might be one-sided, but the thing Sakiko nee-san is doing is not even zero-sided, it's pure menace and manipulation...

He... is mine... why is she trying to take him away from me...? Why am I this weak? Why can't I rebel? Who cares about my dad? Let him come, beat me up again like he did when I was a kid. I would happily accept that. But please, let him go... leave him alone... don't drag him and play with his feelings... please...

My phone buzzed. I leaned over to check. It was an anonymous sender, who sent three pictures as attachment.

"It's me Sakiko. Had a good time today!" Was written on the title of the message.

Horror struck me as I opened the pictures. My phone fell from my hands.

"Why... whyyyy?!?!?" I grabbed my hair, trying to rip the, off. I punched my wall as hard as possible. "I... hate you... I will hate you forever... Sakiko nee-san..." tears waterfall down my cheeks.

The pictures were of Sakiko and Kanako-kun, which seemed like they were on a date. The first picture was Sakiko wrapping her hands around his arm, the second one was in front of the cafe which seemed like he was hugging her and the third picture was them inside the cafe, Sakiko nee-san feeding Kanako-kun a piece of cake.
