Thread to the Future Part 4

*UNEDITED*

Lila knew the answer to that already. Even if she returned to Kiryu, nothing would change. In fact if she returned to Kiryu know her situation would be a lot worse. Kiryu sensed her discomfort and laughed.

"I thought as much. You can't even lie about it huh? I guess you must really like him."

Her cheeks coloured at his words. "I do like him a lot," Lila admitted. But, "Kiryu, I liked you a lot too."

She knew that it sounded stupid. However she didn't want him to misunderstand. Once upon a time she genuinely cared a lot for him.

"I know that too."

At that comment Lila bit her lip. "Your not making this fair for me at all."

"Sorry about that," Kiryu apologized. "But I just want you to understand something. I've never blamed you for going out with Haruka. In fact, I'm glad you went out with him."
