Hold My Hand

Chapter 1

A blissful night that turns to a nightmare, the sound of guitar suddenly stops, tears suddenly fell

A memory that he must remember suddenly became a memory he wants to forget

"Sorry.." says Francis and left the crowd speechless. Francis is singing a song that is meant to be for his lover, that is now kissing a boy from afar

 

His lover is so uninterested in him that she doesn't even remembers Francis's voice that everyone appreciates

The girls means the world to Francis, his love for for the girl was genuine and true. But when it comes to the girl, it will forever be fake and dishonest

 

"Francis.. just forget her, there's so many girls out there" Jonas, a childhood friend of Francis said, "I can find a girl for you" he added with a smile

A sigh was heard from their other friend, Mika

"You're talented and well known in our city, finding a lover would never be a problem!", she shouted while making hand gestures

"I'm a serious one, I would never just pick any girl" Francis immediately disagrees with her

"You're the one who's playing around, don't expect Francis do that" Jonas commented while pointing at Mika, "I don't give a ****" Mika replied and raising her middle finger

While the two of his friends fight, Francis grabs his phone and started to read a webtoon he really likes

"Noooo--I'm just having a breakdown and my favorite character died?!" Francis shouted and buried his face on the pillow

"The **** is wrong with this guy?" Jonas asks while randomly strumming the guitar, "He's reading the 'Elements war' webtoon" Mika answers after drinking water

"This author is so cruel.." Francis whines even more while flapping his legs

 

"A festival is coming soon, will you sing?" Jonas asks before sitting beside Francis on a bench

"Nah, I'm unmotivated for now.." Francis replies while fidgeting his fingers

"Yeah!!! **** guys, I hate guys what the hell!" Mika shouted from afar before running towards Francis and Jonas

"You're hating on guys just now and you're in front of us??" Jonas questions her with his eyebrows meeting

"Yeah I hate you, except Francis he's my little brother" Mika confidently said with her hands on his own waist

"What happened anyway?" Francis asks while looking at his schoolmates playing basketball

"You didn't saw it? I just scored 3 points and won against that 3 fucking boys" Mika replies while pointing at the boys he's referring to

"They fucking provoked me and said little girls like me can't play basketball, sexist little shits" Mika finishes while punching the air

"Wow Mika, you're so strong!" Jonas jokingly said but Mika is dumb enough that her cheeks turns red

"I- I know.." she said with a smuggy look on her face. The group suddenly became quiet when a girl walks towards them

 

"Hey, Francis", it's the girl Francis loves, Valerie

"Yeah... I forgot to tell you, I don't to be with you anymore.." Francis directly said without looking at Valerie's brown colored eyes

"What?! You're clinging onto me yesterday and now you'll say that to me??" Valerie shouted with an angry look on her face and stamps her foot once

"You know, I'm actually grateful! I never loved you anyway-", the girl's words were cut off when Mika grabs her chin

"Of course you won't, you're just with my little brother to ride on his popularity, right? Shithead" Mika seriously said while smirking at her

Valerie tried to grabs Mika's ponytailed dark blue hair, but Mika punched her before she can even fight

"I would immediately forgive you if you'll just say, 'sorry mommy' but you tried to grab my hair?" Mika said while sitting on top of Valerie that still feels pain

"Just **** off, girl. I might puke just by looking at your face. Also, my blue hair is too beautiful to be touched by a bitch" Mika whispers and left the girl laying on the hard ground

 

"Why would you do that? I would never get hurt by her anyway" Francis said while looking at Mika

"Huh?! You're too soft, of course you would be hurt by that. I fucking know you, Francis" Mika seriously said while her hair is being tied by Jonas

"Aww, **** you" Mika added and pinched Jonas's thigh

"AWW!" Jonas shouted and tears up, "I fucking hate you" he added and continued to tie Mika's hair

"Also.. I fixed your profile on a dating app" Mika calmly said that made Jonas flinch and Francis's jaw drops

"What?! You shouldn't do that!! I told you I'm fine!! Why do you have a dating app anyway?!!" Francis shouted with a tone of panicking

"I'm lesbian-"

"Why do you randomly say your sexuality?? You told that us so many times" Jonas coldly said and sits on a chair after he finished tying Mika's hair

"Ohh-someone dmed you" says Mika while looking at her phone, "she says 'heyy'" she added with a serious face

Jonas snatched the phone and viewed the girl's picture, "She's cute, what the hell?" Jonas said while viewing on the girl's picture more

"She's from London, we're in Japan dude" Jonas commented and threw the phone to Francis

"Talk to her, we'll go buy something" Mika said and grabs Jonas's wrist before leads him outside of the room

'Heyy'

'Hello:)'  he replied

Francis sighed and immediately heard a notification sound from the phone

"That quick??" Francis said to himself whilst smiling awkwardly

'How are you?'

'I'm Taro btw'

'Wbu?'

"Three chats at one time.." Francis said and lays down on his bed

'I'm doing well^__^'

'Francis:P'

'What's up with you and kaomojis?'

'Sorry it become a habit;(' Francis replies with a kaomoji once again

'So, you're a singer?'

Francis flinched when he saw Taro's messange, he viewed his own profile and informations mentioned

"Singer, guitarist, c-cute..mentally unstable?!? I'm mentally stable at all times!!" Francis shouted and noticed the stars from the window

"It's evening??" he asks himself and replied to Taro

'Yeah, I am x_x'

'Cool!!! I'm an artist!'

'Do you have a Talkall app? I want to hear your voice'

Francis stood up and looked at his guitar before replying 'yes, I can' to Taro

Usernames were given, Francis immediately fixes the phone and hold his guitar

"Hey!!" Taro greeted him with her camera on. Francis blushed and was captivated by the lady's beauty.

Black hair, white eyelashes and blue eyes, pinkish lips and pale skin. She's too charming, her face was too alluring, a breath-taking beauty. Francis was too astonished by the girl in the screen

"Hello..?" The lady said that made Francis comeback to reality

"I-I'll sing.." Francis said and strums the guitar whilst coughing.

A place to meet (Chapter 2)

"We were playing in the sand, and you found a little band. You told me you fell in love with it, hadn't gone as I planned. When you had to bid adieu said you'd never love anew, I wondered if I could hold it and fall in love with it too. You told me to buy a pony, but all I wanted was you"

After humming the song was finished, an amazed emotion was painted all over Taro's face, she claps with a smile

"That was so good!!" Taro said while Francis is scratching the back of his head, he really can't handle compliments from people

"Wait.. you know Asta from the anime black clover??" Taro asks

"Y-Yes!!" Francis shouted with excitement

"I drew him once" Taro said and sent a photo on the chat section of the app

"What?? This is so cool!" Francis shouted with his fists being clenched

"Hey, little bro!!" Mika shouted and kicks the door to open it

"M-Mika?!" Francis panics again and muted himself from the call

"Huh? Why are you so surprised?" Mika questions him while carrying 2 packs of ice cream with one ice cream on her mouth

"Yo" Jonas coldly said while also having an ice cream on his mouth and his hands on his pockets

"Are you masturb*ting?!" Mika angrily asked and looked at the phone that was perfectly sets up

"N-Noo.." Francis denied, Mika looked at the phone's screen and saw Taro

"Hello" Taro greeted her while waving her hand

"Oh my god, she's so pretty!!" Mika said and starts to shake Francis's body while Taro can't hear a thing

"Hello!!! Taro!" Mika added and grabs the phone making the camera so close to her face

"Y-You can't just snatch that!" Francis shouted and steals the phone

"What the hell?! This is my phone!!" Mika shouted and pushed him

"Ahh!! **** my back!!!" Jonas shouted when Francis landed on him

"J-just let me talk to her!! Get out, Mika!" Francis said and grabs the phone from her before sending Jonas and Mika out of his room

"I'll give it back to you later!", he added before locking the door, finally unmuting himself

"H-hey, Taro" he greeted with an awkward smile on his face, also breathing heavily

"You just joined a war for a second there" Taro replied and giggles that made Francis's heart skip a beat

Francis realized how lovely Taro's smile is. Also, how the girl's giggles are like music to his ears. In this moment, Francis is already losing

"Francis?-"

"Francis!!" A shout from his mom was heard, Francis turns red from embarrassment and puts his hand on his forehead

"I-I'm going, Taro.. I'll take to you later" Francis said and Taro giggles out of nowhere, with her hand closed and covering his mouth

"You're so red, are you perhaps shy??" Taro asks that made Francis's face red even more and his heart beats like a race car

"Okay okay, I'll stop. Leave now, I'll be waiting" Taro said and ended the call. Francis slams his head on the table and took a huge breath

"I'm such an idiot" he said to himself and stand up to go to where her mom is

"What?" Francis asks with an upset tone

"Why did you closed the door on them? Especially, Mika!", her mom scolds him while Mika is grinning

Francis's mom looked to Mika and she pouts immediately

"I'm just trying to give him this icecream.." Mika sadly said that made Francis' mom pinch his arm

"Aww!! It's not my fault!" Francis said before sitting down on a chair to eat dinner

Before sleeping, Francis opened his phone and saw a notification from Taro

"A post..?" Francis asks himself, he clicked the notification and led him to Taro's posted pictures

"This is.. tokyo?!" Francis shouted while looking at the 2 pictures Taro posted

Francis flinched when a call suddenly came, it's from Taro

"H-Hello Taro!!" Francis greeted her while laying down on his bed

"Hey" Taro greeted him back

"Are you in Tokyo?" Francis shyly asked that made Taro shock

"Y-yes, how do you know??" Taro asks him back

"I-I'm from yokohama!!" Francis shouted with a smile on his face

"T-then let's meet there!! I always want to go there!!" Taro said with such excitement

The two agreed to meet eachother the next day, but before sleeping they get to know eachother first. Knowing eachother's talent, dream and similarities, knowing eachother's opinions and ideals

A warm conversation where the both of them are interested with eachother. A conversation that Francis never had with the ex lover he loved

Francis felt her warmth, her lovelyness through a call. He thought, what an amazing feeling is this, he feel like as if he was home.

Warmth (chapter 3

It's finally the day when Francis and Taro will meet.

"Dude, Jonas and I will play basketball, wanna come?" Mika asks him while drinking orange juice

"No.." Jonas and Mika probably didn't know because I only told my mom about this...

"Why?" Mika asks while Francis is still smiling awkwardly

"I got some things to do" Francis replies and was about to left when a girl suddenly comes towards him

"H-hey.. Francis" the girl greeted him while shyly holding a guitar, "C-can you teach me how to play??", she added

"I'm kinda busy, Lea" Francis said with his hand on his pocket while the other is on the back of his head

Francis's phone suddenly rings that made his heart beats fast

"T-Taro??" says Francis while covering the half of his face

"I'll teach you.." Mika said with her arm around the Lea

"No!" Lea angrily said and slaps Mika's arm before leaving

"That's so mean~" Mika said to Jonas while rubbing her own arm

"You're here?! I'm at school, you know where it is, right?!" Francis asks with such excited voice

"Yeah, on the gate??" Taro answers while looking at the school gate

"I'll be there!!" Francis shouted and immediately grabs his bag and left

"That's so rude, my brother" Mika whispers with her arms crossed

"You kept saying he is your brother when you're literally the same age as him" Jonas calmly commented that made Mika punch his stomach

"Aww, you bitch" Jonas shouted and pinch Mika's ear

"H-hey.." A girl suddenly came towards the two, with red cheeks and her arms crossed, also pouting with shyness

"I'm sorry about what I did, yesterday. Anyway, I truely loved Francis, can you tell me where he is??" Valerie asks and can't look at Mika's eyes

"At the gate-"

"Jonas you airhead!!" Mika shouted and hit Jonas's head

"Maybe, I'll forgive you if you call me your mommy" Mika whispers to Valerie's ears that made her flinch and blush

"I-I don't need to call you that!" Valerie angrily said and left Mika smirking

Jonas looks at Mika while tearing up and holding the part where his head got hit on, "you flirty ***", he said

"I'm lesbian-"

"Stop repeating that!"

"Hey, Taro!!" Francis shouted whilst he raise his arms as he see Taro from a distance

"Hello!!" Taro shouted back and ran towards him to hug him

"You're this tall?!" Taro asks while comparing her height to a tall boy, Francis does a peace sign with a smile, "185 cm (6'1)" he said that made Taro punch his arm

"Not fair" Taro said with a pouty lips

Valerie stops walking and saw the two happily talking to eachother, Valerie's heart suddenly became heavy but not as a sign of pain but a sign of angryness

"Francis, who is she??" Valerie asks as she holds Francis's arm

"V-valerie?? Why are you here?" Francis said with a panic tone

"Why am I here? I'm your girlfriend" Valerie answers while pointing at herself

"What? We broke up" Francis denied and retreats his arm from Valerie

Valerie became more annoyed as she heard the girl giggles

"Wow..You are so famous that you even got some pretenders" Taro commented

"I'm his girlfriend!" Valerie shouted while her hand is on Taro's chest pushing her back, "Francis you're so kind that you're friends with a stupid girl" Valerie added while smirking

"Valerie.. just stop. The night I'm singing you didn't even realized that the song I'm singing is for you, you never even recognized my voice when I'm literally on a stage.." Francis shouted with a sad tone

"Didn't you kissed a man that's not me that night?" Francis spoke up that made Valerie scared, she's speechless and her emotions admitted that that is the truth

Valerie bit her lower lips whilst she runs away from the two, Taro immediately hold Francis's wrist and asks, "are you okay?"

"Yeah, I am. I just loved her very much that I can't forget that night. It was painful that I could die" Francis replies

"Then how about I treat you some foods and make you feel happy" Taro said to show her positive side, while also smiling and giving him a thumbs up

"I would be happy if you're gonna pay for it" Francis faked a sad tone while pouting

"Agh" Francis shouted after Taro hit his back

"Cheap ***" she said with a wild smile

"Burger is so nice" Taro said while eating the burger she ordered

"Ahh.. french fries" Francis ignored her and eats the fries he got

"What are we going to do after??" Taro asks

"Mall?"

"WOOH!! You might be a good singer but not a dancer, loser!" Taro shouted as she plays 'just dance' with Francis

"**** I'm not athletic, okay" Francis replies while looking so stiff

"I fucking won, I'm this good!" Taro said with a smile, Francis smiled while breathing heavily, "Okay okay" he said

At that moment, an realization strucks on Taro's mind. She started to blush whilst he looks at Francis, brown haired boy, green eyes, she now knows how good looking the boy is

"Come on, let's try some more games" Francis said and blushes when he see the girl staring directly as her eyes

Taro suddenly holds the boy's hand that made Francis flinch, "Ah.." Taro shook her head when she realized what she just did

But before letting go, Francis held her hand even tighter, with their fingers intertwined. A words that came in eachother's mind,"This is warmth"
