//Weight of the World.

Chara looks like she's about to sneeze, but she's laughing, surely at some clever joke Saga is telling them. I look over my shoulder as Nana chatters on to her friends about this thing or that thing or about what this person said to whom about whom. Taking a drink of my beer I sigh and turn my attention back to her, back to this life, that I can't leave, not yet anyways.
I excuse myself and head to the bar, the only way to withsand it is to drink, but I have to be careful not to get drunk, I instruct the bar tend to throw out half of the beer in the bottle he looks at me strangely but does as I asked and pours in cold water. I start to head towards the group of my friends, Shou spots me and waves, but i notice that Chara isn't there anymore, I make my there hastily, they're laughing. "Oh hey, look who's joining the party, finally ditched she whom must not be named?" This comment makes me laugh, "Hey now, be nicer," He shakes his head, "Not a chance, you know I know she's evil," this story again, "For the last time, she didn't know you were allergic to almonds, give her a break, you're still alive aren't you?" He nods and looks a bit rerproached but Saga makes a comment, "You're still playing the Stepford Husband?" it rubs me the wrong way but eat at me, so I let him in. "Just for a little while,  just until her dad buys it, where's Chara?" He looks a bit grimmace now, "What?" Shou looks the same way and they turn their heads towards another doorway, there's Chara, with someone I recognize, a friend of mine, and it's clear to me, because he's got his arms around her  and they're talking to Aristole and Magi, reporters. "I thought they broke up," I want to run over, and push him away from her and taker her far far away and never come back, and as I start to walk in that direction, it's Saga's hand that pushes me back. "Don't even think about it," I know he's right, stopping in my tracks I just sign and turn back to him. "Do you think I'll ever get thay chance again?"
He pats my back and laughs, " maybe in ten years you'll be together." He drags me back tk the gallery. Tomo is there with Seiko, she gives me a wave and I take the seat next to her, she's signing some postcards of the band, "looks like you're the only one left,huh?" I pick them up and recognize Charas hand writing. The cursive infliction when she sig s is something I always loved watching. My thoughts are drowning me alive. 
"I was busy earlier, you know why." She hinted her pen towards Saga and made a face. 
"He's clingy right?" I tease her a bit.
She sarcastically laughs and sighs, " I love him but it's just too much, you know how freaking tired my hands are after performing, he's asking for miracles, really!" I got the hint she was getting at and snorted. "I don't need details Mom!" The waitress walks nearby ND I order a gin and tonic.

// I wish time would stand still, me like this, you like that."

I remembered not so long ago, I read a comment a friend made of me and of Haruka, she called him my Terry. I didn't understand it, until I asked Seiko, Seiko threw her entire collection of Candy Candy on my lap and I read them gradually as we toured in Hokkaido. I understood it then, that he was Terry, because he was just like him, his role in my life, but... did that make me Candy? Or Susannah? Because he stayed with Susannah? The reason I'm with Haruka now has nothing to do with him being guilty of me, what of? But, If I'm Candy, does that mean...that I'll lose him some day? Why didn't she run to Terry when she saw him on that stage? Why did it matter tht he had to stay with the girl who black mailed him into marrying her? Why? I do not understand it, if she really loved him she would have let him go, but i guess that's what Candy did, she let him go, because she loved him, because she felt guilty, because she felt her love reflected in another. the...

I met you that day, I lost my mind, I found my heart, and I could breathe again, calmly.

 I was never a fan of what people call ' soul mates .' In fact, I never believed the concept had any standing in the real world. It's a fantasy that people tell each other, like there really is one person curated for our every wish and want and need. I think we have a say in this world, not a soul mate, but a person, tangible and grounded, and on that ground we find that ours is even, not a mound or a hole around us, and we can walk together on that path. The souls we seek are like this, on the same path, and they are our chosen family. I think that's a stronger bond, family, I haven't had the best relationships with my own kin, but my friends and him ...I think I chose them as my family. I wasn't used to the type of attention Masake bestowed upon me, I wondered if it was my voice, people seemed to be captivated by it, I'm grateful for that, but is that what he was after? Perhaps it was my body that attracted him to me, I am on the heavier side of a medium ...

//he became the sun.

There were things about Los Angeles that I loved, living with crazy seiko who loved to paint on the brick wall and make instant foods was fun for me, Tomos constant sleeping waiting for his shift at the Hollywood cemetery was comforting I studied at work when t wasn't busy but I wasn't hitting my assignments and my sister was worried. The thing I didn't like about Los Angeles though was that Harris didnt live here he was still living in long beach because his college was full on dorms, so he took the metro here every day sometimes his car he had a very nice Volvo, I wonder if he has money not because I want it, but because I feel embarrassed and somehow below people with money but unlike those girls that made me feel awful about myself and my household income Haruka has never given me that vibe, I wonder what it is and does it have to do with the tightening on my chest when I think about him, I feel as I'm passing a big piece of bread that is stuck inside my throat and...
