."I think sometimes the bits of your life happen in the wrong order, or all at the same time and you waste time feeling angry about it, but that's the way it is, it's real life."
Harriet EvansMei's day was a weird one.
The first half was spent visiting her mother, who still lived in the small house Mei grew up in, which brought her to be only a train ride away from Fukurodani.
She stared at the school as she passed it on the train, feeling her bones fill with both nostalgia and wonder.
She wondered if they might've been hiring. Writing doesn't pay all the bills, at least when you're single. At least, writing wouldn't be paying her bills until she published even more known works.
Not that Mei was single– and she hadn't been for almost three years– but she was beginning to think of the possibilities.
Not that she would ever tell Hyodo that. In fact, she had devised a shitty plan when she was on the train ride to her mother's house.
If it came down to breaking things off with Hyodo, she was prepared to use the same excuse she had used with everyone else in her past.
I'm not looking for anything serious right now.
Okay, Mei knew it was a shitty plan. Especially because staying in a relationship for years was the complete opposite of avoiding anything serious. Not to mention that the relationship involved Hyodo quitting his job in Hokkaido and moving to Tokyo with her.
Cheers to being a horrible person.
Mei sighed to herself as she lied back in her small seat on the train, turning her attention to the city passing by outside of the window.
As much as she tried to maintain her focus on the bare trees and small shopfronts, Mei's mind wandered back to its previous topic.
With more thought, she realized that she had used the same break up excuse on everyone, except for (if he counted) Akaashi. For him, it was more of an I didn't realize we were even considered together excuse.
Mei groaned at the thoughts of her past self, raising her hands to her face so she could rub at her eyes. She must have looked stressed to the woman across from her on the train, but luckily the woman only gave her a look and ignored her.
Mei wished she could turn her brain off for the remainder of her train ride home, but she couldn't. Instead, she cursed her mother for making her overthink, and she cursed herself for even allowing herself into this mess.
I wonder how my life would be if I wasn't a little dumbass in high school. If when Akaashi said we were together, I'd agreed.
Mei shut her eyes tight at her thoughts, blinking harshly as if that would somehow reset her brain and make her forget what she just thought.
