Chapter 57
Their last night didn't go well as planned for Kenji and Hayley. No big fight happened last night, they just talked a little. But right now, as they ride back home, they were not talking to each other. Although they are sitting together, even Hayley has her hand wrapped on Kenji's arm, it's visible on their faces that something was wrong.
"Did you guys forget your laughs and happy faces at the resort? This ride seems so quiet!" Greg noticed. He just got back and everyone feels like they have lost a tournament or something.
"Just freakin' drive. We are all tired because we had a bonfire last night," Mafu told him.
"You guys had--"
"Shush it, Greg!" Kenji snapped.
Before focusing on driving, Greg glanced at each one of his passengers through the rearview mirror. This will make him fall asleep, this is no more fun than when they were heading to the resort. And to think it's hours and hours of driving.

It's a big place and it is sometimes scary. It has been three days since Hayley moved out of their unit and Kenji feels lonely. It's like those days when Hayley didn't come home to him for days. He feels left alone. He got used to having her by his side that whenever she's not here, it feels damn lonely... so lonely. It's a chilly night out at the rooftop and he's just leaning against the rail, watching the city lights, the cars which are passing by so fast. Somehow, it made him recall the days when all he had was himself, his plans and the reasons why he is married. He looked up, laughing sarcastically at his self. A year ago, he told himself that he would chase his dreams, his plans without his father's help. He remembers, swearing to his brother's grave that he'd not lose himself. He

Mafu was giving Greg a ride home when suddenly his phone rang. It was Kenji and when he answered in speaker, they heard somebody else's voice that had them frowning. "Hey, uh... this is a bartender from Paradise Bar. The guy's wasted, please pick him up." Before answering, Greg and Mafu looked at each other with a here we go again look on their faces. "Yeah, we'll be there in a few minutes." Then the call ended. As they make a u-turn, Mafu sighed. This scene has been replaying almost every night now with Kenji. He seemed to be slipping away from the Kenji that has plans, the Kenji they all know who is composed, playful and happy. "He's getting addicted to drinking. Do you think we should tell Hayley about this?" Greg asked Mafu. "I mean she can tell him to stop. He will listen because it's her." "It won't work," Mafu muttered as he plasters a poker face. "Do you see how she's treating him? She sees how he is wasting himself, she sees how

Hayley has been having a hard time the past few weeks. Her midterm projects are coming up and the girls had gotten her doing all these other works that she needed to do. Honestly, she is so fucking stressed out. It's been many nights and it's not easy to think when you are sleep-deprived. There are way too many cups of coffee that she had and one is still half full on her table. This is fucked up, she thought, swearing that after this project, she would go home and spend time with Kenji. She has not been able to spend time with him and she kept missing celebrations too. Two in the morning and she isn't done with her sketching yet-- almost done, just some slight touches so she can submit it tomorrow. She was doing it, focusing on it when suddenly her phone vibrated making her shift her gaze. Hayley put down her pencil and slide to answer her phone. It had her eyes widened when it was a guy from a bar who spoke. "This is the last number he c

The room was quiet, only her soft cries were heard and the air was so hard to breathe in. Kenji was just staring at the wall, thinking over how things had led this way. Once he sorted everything out, he displayed a faint smile. "I guess I become a bother to you now, huh?" He glances at her but she just looked away. It's best she doesn't meet his gaze. "I mean it when I said I want to stay with you. I told you I'd lose myself if you leave, you still went anyway. I guess I left you less choice, huh?" Kenji laughed sarcastically, standing up. He turned to her and asked, "Are you really done with me, Hayley?" It hurts her but she nodded. Just then she hears him laugh again, grunting as he suddenly takes the bottle and throws it at a wall, its shards went everywhere startling her. Hayley tried to remain composed. "I'll have Carter come and take my things," he uttered, biting his lower lip hard before continuing. "This unit is yours if you want it. I only c

Kenji woke up so late and his head was still pounding. He stayed overnight at Greg's unit, drinking his sorrows away but when he woke up, he felt sick and decided to sleep in. After all, he has been sleep-depriving. When he sits up, he saw the medicine on the side table. Guess Greg had it ready for him. He reached his hand and took the glass of water and the tablet. After drinking, he searched for his phone on the bed. When he found it, he checked the time but what caught his attention more was the texts from Eleanor. It was sent around ten in the morning and what time is it? Almost nine in the evening. "I have to make sure she's not drinking too much," he groans, getting out of bed. As Kenji was driving to Hayley's university, he kept glancing at the time on his phone. Visiting hours cut off is at ten and drive there takes time too. Just as he shifted his gaze on the road, his phone rang, showing Eren's name
