Chapter 90: Mending

He bowed and left the area to go back when he felt someone hug him from behind.

"...I'm sorry..."

Ayame whispered on his back.

"Ayame?"

She removed her arms around him and he faced her. She looked up at him and the two of them looked at each other's eyes.

"Tadashi-kun...I'm sorry...for not talking to you again after last night..." she told him "I...I'm sorry for being selfish and pushing you away... I'm sorry for not telling you about that guy and for keeping it a secret...I'm sorry for making you mad!"

She bowed a perfect 90 degree angle in front of him, which surprised the freckled teen. He rubbed his nape as he looked at her before sighing.

"Me too..." he told her "I'm sorry as well..."

She looked up and grabbed his arms, which made him flinch from both the contact and the way she would look at him.

Sometimes, Ayame can be pretty bold in some things.

"Why are you apologizing?!"

"Eh?"

"You shouldn't...You shouldn't be apologizing to me, Tadashi-kun!" she blurted out before she maintained her composure "I-I'm sorry for yelling. It's just... I... I don't want you to apologize when it was my fault for keeping it a secret from you. It was selfish of me when you were just being worried and...I even tried to push you away, even though you're trying to help me. I'm sorry. I...I realized that I cannot handle some things like that on my own, and...I need your help for it..."

She looked up at him "I-I want to talk to you again. I-I d-didn't know it really hurts trying to ignore you or not talk to you. I don't want to have a fight with you, Tadashi-kun. I'm sorry if I messed it up-"

He embraced her and buried his face on her hair "That's enough. Your apology is enough, Ayame"

"But-"

"I said it's enough" he told her "Both of us were actually at fault. I know you don't want me to worry but, I got carried away by my emotions and overreacted. I'm sorry"

"Me too..." she clutched his shirt and buried her face on his chest "I...I also got carried away and tried to push you away. I-I didn't really mean it"

"I know" he whispered "I...I don't want this to happen again. Not talking to you and ignoring you...I'm not used to it and... I don't like it...."

"Yeah..." she nodded "Tadashi-kun...About earlier, when I nearly had a breakdown... I forgot to thank you. It may be a little late but...thank you for pulling me to my senses. Thank you for saving me again"

He broke their hug and held her hand in front of their faces "I also want to thank you, Ayame. For still believing in me, even though I ran away at the last minute earlier. I'm not going to run away anymore. I want to fight again and this time, I'll believe in myself. I'm not going to put your faith on me to waste"

His serious and determined face made her heart skip a beat. She didn't know why but every time he would make that kind of face, her heart would beat really fast and she would blush beet red. She's too dense to realize that she thinks that his serious face is really cool and handsome.

She smiled and nodded "Yes. And this time, I...I'm going to tell you everything that happened to me and I'm not keeping it a secret anymore. I don't want it to happen again"
