{Yume#1 Chapter7.2: Glittering Lights}

(con'td)

"How could you, Jamie?!?!?!", Kathy's eyes brimmed with tears, turned and ran away.  Lhuke went after her as Annie and Tina were still shocked at what they saw.  Jamie was in Sho's arms.  And not just asleep but in the middle of a kiss at that.  Jamie who had been insistent ever since she became a fangirl that Sho would never even remotely look at her.  Sho regained his composure and stood up from beside Jamie's hospital bed, turned off his keitai and smiled shyly, "Ah..O-hayou g-gozaimasu.  Sorry for startling you.  I'm Sho Sakurai."  He tried to make it all seem normal to no avail.  The two fangirls were still dazed until Jamie gave a little shriek.
"What are you doing here?", the spectacled girl cried.  Tina thought Jamie was talking about them and tugged at Annie's arm.
"I think we need to leave you two alone...ah...shitsurei shimasu.." Tina dragged the wavy haired girl out of the room as she was gesturing for Jamie to send her an SMS message as soon as possible.
"Ne..d-don't.." Jamie began faintly as the door closed,"..leave me..."
Sho was puzzled at what had just transpired and looked back at the terrified form sitting up on th bed.
"Anou~ " the older man sat on the same spot he did the night before and leaned closer to talk to the girl.  She pulled the sheets up to her chin and inched away from him.
"W-what were you trying to do to me? I-i mean...why are you here in my bed in the first place?", Jamie asked.
"Well, honestly I wanted to tell you something last night but you were so lovely sleeping here. I decided to just wait for you to wake up today but I woke up because you kissed me," his smile was heartfelt as his hand reached out to touch her.  She looked away just as his hand was about to touch her face, "Ohmigod! You mean she saw that?! Dame!! Jamie, dame daiyo!!! "
Her curly borwn hair bounced as she covered her face with her hands and shook her head in despair.  Her friend Katz...Kathy who was the first fangirl whom she met and was also a Sho fangirl.  This is really the most dame thing she has ever done, she thought as her ichiban just stared at her not quite understanding her reaction.  He dared not think that the girl that she liked girls as well. That would be too much to handle.  "Eh?! Nande? Is she your..." his eyes had that scared look.
Jamie understood what he meant and responded sarcastically, rolling her eyes, "EH!!!! I'm not a lesbian, Mr. News-Zero-slash-Keio-boy!"
He thought it was the cutest thing ever and chuckled at her, "Sou ka, would you do that again Jamie-chan?"
She looked at him suspiciously," Do what?"
"The eye thing you just did." he smiled touching her face.  She didn't pull away for some reason.  She knew she should stop it but all she did was react.
"What the~?!" she rolled her eyes involuntartily.
"There! You did it again! Kawaii yo!!" Sho's smile went up to his eyes as he leaned closer, caressing her cheek.
"Did I ever tell you that I used to hit guys since grade school?" Jamie desperately tried to hang on to the flimsy sanity she had left and not die figuratively on the spot from his touch.  She was trying to think of her friend.  Kathy, her good friend who was so good to her since they met in Japan a few years ago.  Kathy who was the daughter of a wealthy businessman.  Jamie always thought that Katz would be the best choice for Sho's girlfriend.  She was smart and very friendly and simple and..well the list goes on.  Unlike her who can think of nothing but her flaws.  The only thing she liked was her hair.  Her dark brown curls.  That's the only thing people saw first, apart from her being too tall and not fitting in back home.  She snapped back to reality when Sho's breath tickled her face.
"I know, you told me that before.  But I know you wouldn't do that." Sho could smell her again.  The sweet sakura scent of her skin.  Her blush gave her away.  He smirked as he put his arms around her to pull her closer.  She couldnt move let alone react to what he said.
"I love you Jamie-chan" he whispered into her ear before he took her lips again.  This time, it seemed like an eternity.  The tenderness lingered as their lips spoke what their hearts longed to say.  But then, Jamie pushed him away gently at first.  Sho wouldn't stop so she gathered all of her strength and pushed him harder, almost toppling him over like he did earlier.  The rapper was dumbfounded, her kiss was sweet and he knew he felt something.  She liked him but why is she stopping?
"I can't do this! Please leave Sakurai-dono.." The girl tried hard not to cry at the decision she was about to make. 
"Why? Don't you like me?" It wasnt the first time he was going to be rejected but after all the roller-coaster of emotions he felt with her, he'd rather this end happily for once.
"Please just leave.  Let me think about it first, onegaishimasu." She didn't look at him.  There seemed to be something troubling her but wouldn't let him know about it.
"Anou~ Jamie-chan..Did I offend you..I mean..." he tried to get it out of her but wasn't able to when he got cut as she spoke in her own language.
"Anak naman ng~  Sinabi na ngang umalis.  Babanatan ko 'to eh!"( translation: son of a~ I told you to leave. I'm gonna kick your a**),  Jamie was a frustrated, jumble of emotions and just wanted to be left alone.
"Eh? Wakaranai yo" Sho as trying to make out what she was saying. 
"Just please leave...I'll explain later ne" She got out of bed and pulled him towards the door.  Sho got up to leave but pressed her against the door.  She held her breath and closed her eyes, wishing he'd just leave.  She hadn't noticed her tears were already falling steadily.

"Doushita no, Jamie-chan?  Why are you crying?," Sho asked, taking her into his arms, her tears wont stop as he rested her head on her shoulder.  Crying silently.

"O-onegai..S-saku-rai-d-dono..just leave me for n-now.  I'll t-try to explain l-later w-when i'm ok."  she said between sobs.  Sho cupped her face in his hands and took off her galsses, wiping her tears away.  Looking into her eyes, he saw only saddness and pain.  He wanted to make the pain go away," Please tell me what it is, Jamie-chan..."

No answer.  Just more tears.  He didn't know what else to do.  He most definitely didn't want to see her crying like this, its like his heart was being torn apart.

"Alright, I'll leve but please call me.  Call me as soon as you've thought it over ne," the keio boy wiped her tears again, she just nodded in reply.  Sho kissed her forehead before letting her go and leaving the room, heading straight to Aiba's house.  That's when Jamie collapsed into a heap on the cold hospital floor, letting the tears flow more freely.  Still no sound coming out of her.
