Goodbye JapanXReader

  There used to be a girl I knew named (Name). She was my best friend; the best friend anyone could ever have. She was sweet, kind hearted, and a wonderful person to be around. Everyone loved her, especially her boyfriend, Kiku Honda. She loved him with all her heart and he felt the same way. They seemed to be made for each other and (Name's) life was happy. But (Name) had a dark, dark secret.



  (Name's) days were numbered.



  See, (Name) was born with a rare disease that would eat away at her heart and eventually kill her. I was really upset when she told me about her affliction. She begged me not to tell Kiku and to keep her secret. I almost refused her request, but the look in her eyes stopped me. I still remember the day she told me like it was yesterday.

  I was sitting at my desk in the apartment (Name) and I shared, watching some youtube video, when (Name) came into the room and sat on the bed.

  "Hey, Mady?" she asked. I took off my head phones and turned around to face her. She seemed upset about something.

  "Yeah?"

  "Could you... What would you do if I told you I was going to die?"

  "What are you saying? This question doesn't sound very rhetorical."

  "I...I have a disease that eats away at my heart until I die. I only have about a week left." My eyes widened and I inhaled sharply.

  "You can't be serious. You're joking, right, b-because you can't leave me. Go on; tell me it's a joke!" I could feel the tears coming. I had known (Name) since elementary school and I couldn't imagine life without her. We were like sisters.

  "It isn't a joke, Mady," she said, smiling sadly at me. Her (e/c) eyes filling with tears.

  "No!" I said, wiping my eyes, "You can't do this! You know how easily I cry! Just...just come here!" I stand abruptly, knocking over my chair and pull her into a hug.

  "We are going to make this the best week of your life, okay?" I said into her shoulder. I only came up to her eyes, but it didn't matter at the moment. I could feel her shake her head.

  "I want you to act as if I'd never told you anything, okay?" she says. I'm about to protest when she starts talking again, "And I have a favor to ask you."

  "Anything."

~~Japan's P.O.V.~~

  I was sitting in my bed, checking my e-mails on my laptop when a new one pops up. It's from Mady, me and (Name's) close friend. I open it up and read it.

  "How've you been doing?" My eyes flicker at the simple sentence. I hadn't been doing well at all. It had been a week since (Name's) death and here I was, locked away from the world. My heart was heavy and I found myself on the brink of tears all the time. I never cried, though, I could never bring myself to let the tears go.

  "Fine. You?" I answered. I waited for her answer.

  "Don't lie, Kiku. I know you miss her just as much as I do, if not more. Anyways, (Name) wanted me to send this to you a week after she died," my eyes grew when I realized what she said, "Yes. I knew that (Name) was going to die. She told me herself, but I couldn't do anything about it. So she wanted you to watch this. [link]" My mouse hovered over the link. I wondered what (Name) could possibly want me to see when she was dead. Taking a deep breath, I clicked the link. It led me to a video.

  "Hi, Kiku. It's been a while, hasn't it?" said (Name). She was sitting on the bed in the apartment she shared with Mady.

  "(Name)?" I said. She looked like she had been crying. Her eyes were puffy and swollen, her cheeks were red, and yet she still had a smile on her face. Mady, however, was crying openly, her body shaking and tears falling onto the guitar in her lap.

  "I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, but it's too late now, and I wanted to give you something to remember me by," she said, "So I asked Mady to do this for me." Mady started softly strumming the guitar.

  "Goodbye,
  Goodbye,
  Goodbye my love."

  (Name) sang the lyrics to the song beautifully. I could feel hot tears coming again, even after a week I still had enough to cry.

  "I can't hide,
  Can't hide,
  Can't hide what has come.

  I have to go,
  I have to go,
  I have to go,
  And leave you alone.

  But always know,
  Always know,
  Always know that I love you so."

  (Name) had started crying again and she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.

  "I love you so.
  I love you so, oh.

  Goodbye brown eyes,
  Goodbye for now.
  Goodbye sunshine,
  Take care of yourself.

  I have to go,
  I have to go,
  I have to go,
  And leave you alone.

  But always know,
  Always know,
  Always know that I love you so.

  I love you so, oh.
  I love you so, oh.

  Goodbye brown eyes,
  Goodbye my love."

  Her voice cracked at the end and her shoulders started shaking. Then, the screen cut to black. About to exit out, I stopped when (Name's) face appeared again, this time alone.

  "I... Kiku, I just wanted you to know that I love you with all of my...diminishing heart, okay?" she laughed feebly at her own joke, "I bet you're wondering what happened to me, huh?" she laughed a bit again.

  "I was born with a disease that eats away at your heart until you die," she said, "I actually...shouldn't have lived this long, but I did. And I was glad I did. If I had died earlier, I wouldn't have met you. I know I'm going to die, so I asked Mady to help me record this." I could tell she was trying not to cry, but now she was sobbing.

  "I'll miss you, you know. And I hope you find someone else. I want you to be happy, okay? I love you." The video cut back to black. I felt hot tears streaming down my face.

  "I'll miss you, (Name). I love you. Aishiteru," I whispered
