(Chapter 3 of Lovesick begins now! It’s midnight but I can’t sleep so here we go. And I must warn you. Half of this will have my boredom mixed with Reece in a I-don’t-give-a-rat’s-patoot attitude so yeah. Btw that was a quote from Destery Smith(or Moore?). He’s awesome…and yeah. On with the story.)
Reece’s POV~
As soon as we were away from our apartment, these guys drag me to a store close to the apartments. I was wondering why the fudge they brought me here since the store ran out of fudgin strawberry milk a month ago.
“Guys why are we here?” I asked along the way. “Um..” They both looked at each other then back down at me. “We’re going to just…buy some..” “Snacks. Drinks too.” “Yeah.” They both said hesitantly as I raised an eyebrow.
“It’s 3 am and we’re out buying food and drinks? Last time I checked this isn’t hibernating season. I don’t see some damn snowflakes in the air and white snow on the ground in 80 degree temperature. I mean who really just waltz up to a 24 hour store to buy food and drinks? Seriously, are you two vampires?”
They both looked at me in surprise as I just rolled my eyes. “Hurry up! If I don’t get strawberry milk in 5 minutes I will shove one of the stop signs literally up your asses.”
Xander just looked at me while I swear to Gawd, his friend trembled in fear. “We have to hurry then.”
I heard Xander whisper to his friend. “By the way, who the fack are you?” I piped up to Xander’s friend as he stopped and slightly jumping in shock. He turned around and looked at me as his eye twitched in slight fear at my intense gaze. “I’m Riku. But I lived in America so my American name is Mason.” I raised an eyebrow and looked at him up and down under the street light. He didn’t look bad but he want looking too good either. “Well? Move your asses I’ve got strawberry milk waiting for me at home.” They both looked at each other and walked faster.
I followed into the store, looking at the many packs of ramen. I made a Tch sound as I threw it back on the rack. Those two are taking too long. “HEY!” I yelled and everyone stopped and looked at me. Xander’s head popped up and so did Mason’s. “What’s taking you guys so damn long? It’s 3 fudgin am you retards!” I yelled at them as the other customers backed away in sudden fear. Xander and Mason walked to the clerk quickly with their food and drinks. The clerk gave them a straight face as he checked out their items. “Have a nice night. If you can survive throughout the night.” He sneered while chuckling, causing them to tremble even more. I walked out with them as they quickly fast walked down the street, still affected by tonight’s events.
I unlocked the door to my apartment as soon as we got there and I nearly ran to the fridge to swing open the fridge door, grabbing the milk bottle and gulp down the bottle of strawberry milk. “Lucky retards…” I murmured as I shut the door. They sat on the couch and saw what was on the paused TV. “What were you watching?”
“Junjou Romantica.”
“Yaoi?”
“Got a problem, spikes?” I look to Mason as he shivered. “N-No..”
“Good.” I look to Xander and motion him to my room. He stands up hesitantly and walks down the hallway to my room. I shut the door and glare up at him.
Don’t think I wasn’t mad to see my boyfriend with another guy late at night. “Where were you?”
“Right now?”
“No when I was walking with Oliver and James. No one has heard of you since your mishap. Is everything okay?” He hesitated but replied a “Yes.” I looked to him suspiciously as my game of 20 questions began.
I took a deep breath.
“What happened at the infirmary?”
“Nurse Funabashi took care of my injuries.”
“Are you sure?”
“Positive.”
“Someone said a guy brought you to the infirmary. True or false?”
“True…I guess.”
“Who was it?”
“Does it matter?”
“I believe I’m asking the questions here.” He sighed.
“Now let me repeat myself. Who was it?”
“It was a friend?”
“More like a boy friend.”
“A boy friend?!” I yell, nearly squeezing the bottle to the limit that it might break.
“Let me rephrase that. A guy friend.” I stopped and calmed down but still had a murderous glare on my face.
“It was Mason?”
“No it was Manny.”
“Danny.”
“Right.”
“He left two hours before school was dismissed so he could see his sister at the hospital.”
“I see.”
“So why don’t you actually, well I dunno, start speaking the truth?”
“I am.”
“You just said Danny took you to the infirmary.”
“Ugh ok. It was James.”
“He was with me.”
“Oliver?”
“Dude come on.”
“Excuse me?”
We heard a soft knock at the door as it was opened to see Mason. “My house is far to the south. Mind if I bunk here for tonight, Ree-senpai?”
“Sure, sure. There’s an empty room on the left.”
“Arigato…Ree-senpai…” He then leaves as my stare turns back to Xander.
“So who was with you?”
“Alright..it was Mason okay?” My eyes narrowed.
Something flicked inside my head as I blinked a little.
“That name sounds familiar…”
“Really how?”
Xander never knew I went to America because I thought it wasn’t needed. He just thought I was Japanese with an American name. Which happens rarely but he’s too…daft to know that.
“It doesn’t matter.” I said quickly as he raised an eyebrow.
“Anyway. What were you two doing at the infirmary so long?”
“Talking.”
“About?”
“Stuff?”
“Stuff.”
“Just stuff?”
“Yes.” I grunted and exhaled through my nose. “Leave.”
“What?”
“I said leave. I need my rest. Watch whatever you want I don’t give a fudge.” I plopped on my bed as he looked at me with his face softening and slowly walking out of the room. I heard the door close.
I took the closest thing to me and threw it hard against the wall. Luckily, the walls were soundproof so I could make as much noise as I wanted. I threw glass objects and hard, rough objects at the walls and sighed. When I was sure some stuff were destroyed I laid back on my bed, feeling better than earlier. I find myself drifting off to sleep while dating out the window.
I woke up the next morning to see everything crashed, broken, or ripped on the floor. I just shrugged and slumped off the bed as I wrapped sheets all around me so all that was seen was my face. I turned to the clock to notice it was only 6:32 in the morning. I groaned and went to the kitchen for a bottle of strawberry milk. When I turned around, there was a note on the dining table.
I raised an eyebrow and pushed an arm out to grab the note. When I started to read it, my heart nearly stopped. I let go of the cold bottle in my hand to listen to it smash on the ground and to listen to the crinkle of the note flowing down on the ground.
I heard a door open as Mason walks out in nothing but underwear and sees me frozen and rushes to me. “Ree-senpai?! Ree-senpai?!? What’s wrong?!” He waved a hand in my face but I was still frozen. He tried to help me move but I didn’t move a muscle and his voice was muffled. He pokes at my sides but no movement. I shift my eyes to the note on the ground as he picks it up and reads:
Reece,
I’m breaking up with you.
