// About that night.

It wasn't like I didn't know it would happen, I just thought that it might be longer, considering how long our relationship was. Seiko tried to hide the search on her phone when I climbed into the car but the look on her face said it all. "Chara-Chan, how're you holding up?" I tried to smile but it wasn't quite possible, I just nodded and looked away, but I managed to get my notebook of songs out to her, "Oh I didn't think you'd be this fast, but okay I'll look them over before we get to the studio." Somehow without words it was easy to talk to her, I leaned against the arm rest and put my ear plugs in, no one else will hold my attention this morning no matter how much they nudge at my arm, sorry Tomo.

The studio was worst, rather than the occasional news circus and the fans, it was flooded with media shoving microphones at us in all directions yelling all those questions at me I'm trying to push down to the soles of my feet and leave behind on the cold Tokyo concrete. "How long have you known about the secret engagement?" "We're you just helping them keep it a secret?" "Is it true that there is a baby on the way?" "Are you happy for your friend's new engagement?" "Do you feel betrayed and outraged? Please tell us!" I had to pull my sweater's hood all the way over me,  my tinted glasses weren't helping much specially with the tears running down, I tried hard to hide it." Tomo put his arm over me and escorted me to the building after I had been cornered by reporters. I couldn't help but clutch onto him as the pain in my chest became unbearable. Emily was screaming at security not to let anyone near us and Seiko and Erin were hurrying to get the recording room scheduled for us that day.
