Chapter 2

"Stella I would like you to meet my sister Sakura Smith the klutz, and my best friend, brother if you will, Akahiro Usami."

I glare at my brother for the word "klutz." He shrugs it off. 

I look at Stella, she seems a bit shy, she's pretty I don't deny it. As I look at her she makes eye contact with me for a few moments and smiles. 

Great now I'm obligated to smile back. 

I give her a quick smile before looking away from her. 

Great now Akahiro and my brother can't be a thing. Maybe they'll go their separate ways after some time. I really hope this isn't going for the long run, I want Akahiro to be happy even if it means he's with my brother. 

"It's nice to finally meet the most important people in German's life."

I glance at Akahiro, I see a slight shine in his eyes.

I wish I could hug him. Tell him that it'll be fine, he still has a chance I mean it's not like they are getting married. 

*clears throat*

I look at my brother. 

"Akahiro, Sakura I want to formally introduce my future wife. "

WHAT! I-I spoke too soon. Crap.

I immediately look at Akahiro. He doesn't seem to be upset, in fact it seems that he's happy with the situation. There is still that shine in his eyes though. 

Why is he hiding his hurt, I should hug him or at least show some sort of support.

"Brother? Does this mean you're getting married? I didn't even know you were seeing anyone."

As I say this I try to think back and remember if he mentioned that he was seeing someone. 

"Congratulations German I never thought you would be the first of us to get married."

Akahiro plays it off well but I know he's hurt. I feel hurt for him. I want to cry on his behalf. I wish I can blurt out the truth. 

"No. I… You.."

My brother looks at me with a puzzled face. As I remain still where I am. 

"Sakura what's wrong?"

I look at my brother and for the first time in my life I think about punching him in the face. I look at him then at Akahiro. 

Why did you hurt him like this, he doesn't deserve this. 

"I just realized that there isn't alcohol in the house so you can't celebrate it as it should be. I'll run to the store and get some." 

My brother looks at Stella confused. 

"Sakura you know they won't."

I walk towards Akahiro, I grab him by the wrist and pulled him towards the door. 

"I know that's why I'll go with Akahiro."

I run out of the house pulling Akihiro' wrist the whole time. 

I hate my stupid brother, why did he go and find someone else. He had Akahiro in love with him for all these years so why….Why damnit. 

We come to a stop a few blocks from my house, I turned the corner and stopped. 

"Why the hell are you crying I'm the one with a broken heart ."

I look up at him and he seems to be fine, meanwhile I am crying my eyes out like I'm the one in pain. I shake my head at a loss of words. 

What is there to say, sorry that my brother turned out to be straight and is now getting married to a woman? I'm sure he already knew that though. I was the only one wishfully thinking.

I feel the tears just continuing to fall from my eyes forming a stream down my face which there was no reason for.
