Chapter 24

"You mean you don't remember?" she questions me, finally removing her gaze from the device in her hands. I only shake my head in response, making her loudly sigh. "I have no idea what runs through your head in the morning, but I pity your future significant other...And I forgive you," she tiredly says as I tilt my head in confusion.

"Ooook? Thanks?" I say as I pat down my pockets, making sure I have my phone and keys. Once I'm sure I have them, I look back to my mother as she resumes to stare at her phone. I can hear quiet noises coming from it, but I can't tell if they are words or just random sounds. "I don't know when I'll be back, but I'll message you when I get home," I tell her as I open the door and walk through it, looking back before completely closing it. "Have a good day, please be safe," I genuinely tell her as I close the door, not waiting for a response. I walk over to the stairs and start my descent, finally heading to work.

'What did I say? I don't remember anything,' I think to myself as I reach the bottom of the stairs and start to walk on the sidewalk in the correct direction. 'It's probably not important if I forgot about it. It's not like I talked back to her or anything, that'd be bad,' I smile to myself, glad I could live another day.

As I begin to reach the wealthier part of the area I need to walk through, my mind goes back to Thursday night's actions, making me visibly cringe. 'I still need to properly apologize to Haruki and Kaji. I really hope Mafuyu and Uenoyama accepted my apology,' I think as I remember what I did yesterday to make it up to the boys.

~Flashback (Y/n POV)~

"The train is now approaching the station. Please keep away from the tracks. Please wait for the car doors to completely open before stepping in. Parents, please keep track of your children so they do not disturb any other passengers. Also..." the automated voice says as I watch the train come into the station.

'Please be in our regular car, please be in our regular car, please be in our regular car...' I repeat in my head as the car doors open. I step into the car and quickly look around, trying to find a familiar mop of salmon-coloured hair. My eyes quickly spot the familiar colour as I stop my search at the sight of Mafuyu. 'There he is,' I think as I slowly approach the boy, trying not to seem aggressive.

"Can I sit here?" I quietly ask, bringing his attention from his lap up to me. His eyes slightly widen as he stares at me, immediately making me feel even guiltier. After a few seconds, he barely nods his head, which I take as an invitation to sit to his right. The train starts to move, taking us to school, as I sit down.

Nothing is said between us most of the ride as I occasionally glance over at the taller boy before looking forward again, my voice stuck in my throat as guilt thrashes around in my stomach, almost making me sick.

"We will be arriving at our destination soon, please prepare to carefully get off the train," the robotic voice says over the speakers as I glance over at Mafuyu one more time.

'Just do it. Rip the bandage off, it'll hurt more if you don't say anything,' I think as I take a deep breath, thinking through what I was going to say.

"Mafuyu..." I say as I turn my body to face him, finally gaining the strength to own up to my mistakes. He looks at me but doesn't say anything as I continue to speak. "I was wrong. I'm so sorry," I say as tears caress my eyelids, my words starting to get caught in my throat. "I thought I'd lost my friend over something I had said over text earlier and took out my worries and stress out on the band. I know that's no excuse and I realize that I may have lost most of my friends in one day, but know that I didn't mean to lash out," I weakly say, a single falling down my cheek as the train starts to slow down.
