I turned around and sprinted off into a run, I couldn't stop running, I was trying to escape..escape from this feeling. I didn't want to feel this anymore. All, I wanted was for him to come back. I started running faster. My legs began to burn and I felt a searing pain run up the back of my left leg. But, I kept running. My lungs were screaming out for air, and my breath became jagged. Exhaustion slowly took over my body, and I began to slow. I stopped in front of the corner store, and tears started rolling down my cheeks. I didn't wipe them. Why would it matter anyways? No one, to come save me from this feeling, no one, to come save me from this world, no one, to come save me from him.

The next morning I woke up with a sudden pain in my heart. I looked at the time 11:23am. I stared at the clock in awe. I turned my head away, and I felt as if needles were pinged into my heart. I felt nauseated. I felt like throwing up. I got out of bed swiftly and began to get dressed in proper attire for school. I was already 3 hours late, what's another 2. I walked up the front steps of Forge High School, took a deep breath and began my day as a Sophmore. I walked into my first period class, scanning across the classroom. My eyes stopped and locked on him. I turned away quickly, as he looked up and stared at me. As, I walked to the front of the class to my seat I can feel his glare piercing into my back. I cursed under my breath. I looked up and my teacher was staring at me, with narrowed eyes.

I stared him with emotionless eyes and whispered, "What?"

His words came slurred or, maybe I just wasn't listening but, I caught the last 3 words, "YOU CAME LATE!"

I looked back at him and nodded.

He started writing up a detention slip, I stared at with dissatisfaction got up, and walked out. I heard him say my name once, and I felt somebody try to grab my hand but, when I turned around the door already closed. I sighed, and began walking to the library. I walked inside, only to see his bestfriend. He smiled at me, but his smile didn't meet his eyes.

" Mikan-chan, goodmorning."

"Hey, Ruka."

I walked past him quickly, my eyes never meeting his. I walked into the back of the library and sat down. My spot. Wait, our spot. I began to doze off, and fell into a light sleep. I felt somebody grab me roughly, and push me. I woke up and looked up and I seen Natsume staring at me with his eyes full of rage.

I flinched when his face came closer to mine and I looked away. Natsume grabbed my face roughly and through gritted teeth said, "Are you fucking stupid?"

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and spit in his face. He was taken aback by my actions and let go of me to wipe his face. I whispered out roughly: "Are YOU fucking stupid?"

"Do not ever fucking put your hands on me again."

He looked at me and walked away. I fell onto my knees, buried my face in my hands and began to weep silently. I felt a presence watching me, I looked up and seen Ruka his eyes emotionless. I can just tell by his expression he was apologizing for Natsume. I stared at him helplessly. Ruka hid behind his bangs, and walked away. I broke down all over again.

After a few hours, I started leaving this school. I heard somebody screaming my name.

I turned around and seen Hotaru waving at me from an open window. I smiled, at her and she smiled back. I began to walking home, and I felt my phone vibrate. I picked it up and husky voice from the other line began mumbling words I couldn't understand. Without looking at the caller id I already knew who it was.

Natsume: "Where are you?"

Mikan: "School."

Natsume: "We need to talk."

Mikan: "If you are going to break up with me, I rather for you to just do it now."

Natsume: "Fine, we're over."

I dropped the phone, I couldn't believe it. He actually said it. He really said those words. I looked down and it said CALL ENDED. I stood there shaking, and then it finally hit me: We're over.
