11 Chapter Ten

It's not true

Tell me

I've been lied to

Crying isn't like you

Oh-oh-oh

Its been 3 months since that day. Athena's smile was no more. Her eyes showed no emotion. She was torn. Currently sitting on the bed look at the baby booty that will never be filled. A tear rolling down her cheek. She hugged her knees closer to her chest as she close her hand around the booty. Sobs filling the room yet again.

What the hell did I do?

Never been the type to

Let someone see right through

Oh-oh-oh

Uta sat outside his bedroom door listening to his kitten cry. How it pained him to hear her heartbreak over and over. He wants to go hold her tight but right now he couldn't be strong for her. Tears filled his eyes as he thought about a little girl looking up at him smiling. As she vanished a tear slipped down his cheek. His heart aching at every sob that can be heard in the room.

Maybe won't you take it back

Say you were tryna make me laugh

Touka and Renji came over and visited. They started visiting more now. Checking up on the once happy couple. They understood why they weren't the same right now. Honestly why won't they, they just lost the thing they wanted the most. Touka and Renji tried cheering them up but failed countless times. Uta and Athena did laugh but they could see it was a mask. The two was beyond broken. It broke them to see their friends like this.

And nothing has to change today

You didn't mean to say "I love you"

"Athena I'm sorry~"

"Uta why~"

"Shhh its okay~"

"What did I do to deserve this~"

"Shhh kitten I'm here~"

They stood there in each others arms. Tears falling onto the floor.

I love you and I don't want to

Oh-oh-oh

They loved a being they never got to see. As much as they wanted to just forget, they couldn't. They couldn't understand why it was taken away from them. Is it becuase they were ruthless killers or maybe becuase they were seen as a freak of nature.

Up all night on another red eye

I wish we never learned to fly

Athena woke up again from another nightmare. Uta stroked her back in a attempt to calm her. She's been having them frequently. Were after the child died Uta left. He always reassured her that he isn't going anywhere.

I-I-I

Maybe we should just try

To tell ourselves a good lie

I didn't mean to make you cry

After 4 months they started going back to the way they were. Athena started laughing again. The nightmares disappeared. Uta started smiling and joking again. They were finally healing. Slowly but surely.

I-I-I

Maybe won't you take it back

Say you were tryna make me laugh

They packed all the baby things in a box and in the storage. Uta thought it was a good idea to store it instead of selling it. Athena agreed. Maybe in the future they can try again. Unfortunately during the sorting out and packing away Athena started crying again. The wound not fully healed yet.

And nothing has to change today

You didn't mean to say "I love you"

I love you and I don't want to

"Athena!~"

"Hey guys"

"We missed you~"

"Oh sorry"

"No need to say sorry. Ill go get you and Uta some coffee."

"Thank you."

"I love you kitten~"

"I love you too lion~"

Oh-oh-oh

The smile that you gave me

Even when you felt like dying

Athena was proud of how Uta tried to be strong for her. She knew about the times he cried late at night when he thought she was fast asleep. She loved him and that will never change.

We fall apart as it gets dark

I'm in your arms in Central Park

They closed shop early and decided to take a stroll in the park. A little boy ran up to them and asked Uta if he can play with them. Uta agreed. That's when two girls came up to Athena and asked if they could play with her hair. She smiled and nodded. They had a blast playing with the kids.

I wonder if they would've been just as cute as these three kids~

They both thought in union.

There's nothing you could do or say I can't escape the way,

They were back to normal now but still longed for the child they never had. To mourn its death they created a mask and hanged it on their wall. Tengo sat in between them as they played with him. The mask looked like it was filled with love and happiness. Almost like something was watching over them.

I love you I don't want to,

I love you

"Eventho we never met. I still love you little one~"

"Don't forget so do I~"

"Yes my lion we both love the cub we never got to hold"

"I love you kitten~"

"I love you lion~"

"We miss you baby cub~"

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Billie Eilish - i love you
