Whisper of the Heart: After the Years

A/N: Hey there. I love this movie and decided to hurry and make a story of it! Thanks to my friend who showed it to me. It is dedicated to her! You know who you are. Oi, and I forgot. I DO NOT own any part of the movie, but I wish I had the DVD. Read and Review pretty please! I am open to constructive responses!

Chapter 3: Truth of the Matter Is

Shizuku ran. She thought she heard Seiji's wife say something about ADHD but she kept going. She didn't know where until she found Yuko's house and pounded on the door.

"Ah! Shizuku! OMIGOSH WHAT HAPPENED!" Yuko answered the door, and looked at the sorry lump of Shizuku who was on the floor bawling. Comprehension dawned as she remembered about hearing how Seiji got married a couple of years ago. She must have not learned about it… "Oh, sweetie. Come on inside." Yuko led Shizuku by the hand inside.

Sugimura paused from the newspaper to look up at Yuko. "Who is that…? Oh! What happened hon? What happened to Shizuku? She is back from America already?" Yuko gestured him to be quiet as she went upstairs with Shizuku into her bedroom.

Yuko sat her down on her bed. She also sat next to her and patted her shoulder. She waited patiently until Shizuku stopped bawling. "I know. It is tough. Life's a bitch sometimes. Here. Sit up. I will tell you the story."

Shizuku looked up, eyes puffy and red.

"I don't know all of it, or why, I heard from Sugimura. And after I heard I haven't even seen Seiji yet, nor do I want to. But all I know is that after Seiji learned for eight years straight in Italy, then got married. And came back here with a new woman. I am sorry, Shizuku."

Shizuku's eyes welled up. "He would…marry her rather than me?" she said softly, barely a whisper. "And not even bother to warn me? He promised…We promised we would be closer to our dream of getting married!" So that's why Seiji seemed so detached…

Yuko's only reply was a hug. "Let us go get drinks. All on me. And maybe find yourself a nice man."

This only made Shizuku cry more, but she went to the bathroom to get ready for the night club anyway.

A/N: Thank you for all the reviews! Sorry I haven't uploaded in a while. I discovered several mistakes in the other chapters I uploaded (there used to be I think eight chapters), so I took them off and fixed them up. And so high school started and it has been super hard for me! Yes, I am a freshman. But I am taking a lot of classes that are meant for tenth and eleventh grades, so I have my work cut out for me. But, I will continue to try and write more often over fanfiction. Bye for now :)
