It All Started With A Lie, A Car Crash And The Trial

Chapter 24- The End?

Previously on Chapter 23

(Y/N) found out that she could not bear to take revenge on Aomine and Cordell washed his hands off her matters.

Soon judgement day came for (Y/N).

Aomine-san......"

"What is it?"

"Let's break up."

Aomine's P.O.V

"Let's break up."

I stood there, greatly appalled. Did I do something wrong? I tilted my head a little,

"What did I do?"

Your P.O.V

" You did nothing," I clenched my fist, "except to betray me when I was lying in the operation theatre, half-dead."

"Wait what?" the expression on Aomine's face changed completely. His jaw dropped and gasped.

"No way."

"Yes." I looked straight into his eyes, "I'm (Y/PREV/N)."

Aomine's P.O.V

I could not believe my eyes. (Y/PREV/N) . She's here, right in front of me. I-I-I what the-? Why is she here? How is she still alive? I mean like come on she died before me! I SAW IT. Why didn't she tell me? Why is she here at Touou? To seek revenge on me? Then why tell me this now? I'm still fine and well, not harmed. Why?

I shook my head furiously, as if trying to make sense of it. WAIT. Hold up. There's so many questions so CAN YOU JUST SHUT THE HXLL UP BRAIN YOU'RE KILLING ME! -.-

"That's all that I wanted to say. Goodbye." I was still in shock and that was all I heard before (Y/PREV/N) turned and disappeared into the fog.

Fog?

Instinctively, I took a few steps front and stretched out my arm.

"(Y/PREV/N)!"

~

"(Y/PREV/N), you have reached the end of your trial and now I, Cordell Linton, shall hand you over to the hands of fate as your shinigami."

I took a deep breath, trying to conceal my fear by gripping on my neatly-ironed skirt, which is all creased now but that's alright. I'll soon be dead why bother? Anxiety punched me in the stomach as I fought back my tears that threatened to gush out any moment from now. I closed my eyes and stood upright, telling myself to calm down. What is meant to be shall be. Somehow that made me feel a lot better.

"(Y/PREV/N) was madly in love ......." I wasn't focusing on his words but rather, having a flashback from when I was young, how I had a crush on Aomine, times spent together with Kiseki no Sedai and Momoi, how I had a near-death experience just for Aomine, how I sacrificed my life for him and caught him cheating on me. Pathetic right? How I changed my name just to get a revenge that was futile from the start. I could never get revenge on Aomine. Why though? Why can't I get revenge on him? Till now I wonder.

"The agreement we came to. We have fulfilled everything but one last requirement, which will determine whether you have found true love or not. If you have found true love, you will be able to live again, if not, your soul will be collected by me. Love is something that differs from people to people, but it all comes down to one point; the genuinity of it. Now answer this, (Y/PREV/N), Who is your one true love?"

I closed my eyes. I took a deep breath. I don't know how or what to feel anymore. I opened my eyes. I'll just let fate decide what's best for me, for everything, for everyone.

"I choose Aomine."

After that, everything went blank and it was though I was plunged down from a high cliff into the deep blue ocean. I was air-borne.

As I fell, my limbs were stiff. I chuckled, maybe I was happy, maybe I wasn't. I don't know anymore Before disappearing into the abyss, a single tear escaped my eyes.

"True love doesn't exist, afterall."
