Hey guys, here's another Ultra Maniac fic. Well, it's not really the fic that I said about in the 18th Chapter of Engaged, I just thought about this idea just when I woke up from my afternoon nap. Hehe. Or maybe what happened to my friend when she was heartbroken or anything. Anyway, I hope you like this fic and this is the first time I wrote an AyuTsujiai fic. Hope you enjoy it:)

Summary
"He left you didn't he?" I asked. "I'm sorry for crying like this in front of you, I know you're not used to it." she said. Written in Tsujiai's POV. AyuTsujiai friendship fic.

It was about 10 PM when I saw her. She was just...there. Sitting on a beach alone gazing at the stars. I looked at her from the side and I noticed – she looked different. Her face was pale and her eyes were blank and shallow. I thought that it was best to leave her alone for awhile.

"Hiroki..." was a call that stopped me from my tracks.

I looked back and I saw the girl I mentioned earlier call. "Yes?" I asked.

"Can you please stay with me? For awhile?" she asked basked. I sighed. Oh come on, how bad could it be right? Besides, she's my friend. Ayu Tateishi is my friend.

I sat on the bench beside her. I looked at her and then she was back to the pale Ayu. I wonder if she's sad. Of course she's sad dumbass! I reckoned to myself. She then started to cry with little sobs. Okay so now I wonder why.

I was kinda afraid to ask why because of her state until I remembered something my best friend, Tetsushi Kaji, told me this morning.

Flashback

"Hey Hiroki, I don't think I love her anymore." Tetsushi said to me as I sat down.

I'm not the kind of person who talks about this stuff but Tetsushi's my best friend so what the heck?

"Why's that?" I asked.

"I don't know. Maybe there's just a time when you wake up one day and realize that you don't love a person that much anymore." my best friend explained.

"Is that so? What are you going to do now?" I asked.

"Do the right thing of course; I'm going to break up with her instead of bring her more pain in the future." he replied.

"Okay," was the last thing I said to him until the teacher came.

End of Flashback

"He left you didn't he?" I asked breaking the silence. Ayu looked at me like asking how I knew. "Tetsushi told me this morning." I said like answering her unspoken question.

Ayu's little sobs turned louder until she cupped her face with her hands. I gave her my handkerchief. I just let her and run my hand on her back continuously until I was surprised that she suddenly hugged me!

"I'm sorry for crying like this in front of you, I know you're not used to it." she said. Those were the first words I heard from her from this whole conversation. I couldn't do anything else but hug her back.

"Things like these really do happen sometimes, Ayu. Sometimes we just got to learn to accept everything about it." I whispered. A nod was all I got as a reply as she dug her head deeper into my chest and cry more. And of course all I did was hug her more. And the stars shone brightly as I held her tightly.

Author's Notes
Um, some part of the flashback or what Kaji said was from my teacher. She was explaining to us about her experience about her 1st boyfriend I think and how her boyfriend broke up with her. And I think the title doesn't have anything to do with it, does it? Of course with the last line though. :P Hey! The last line rhymed! XD Tsujiai was kinda OC huh?

About the other AyuTsujiai fic, I'm still working on it and my other updates for other stories. Hope you forgive me for still not updating for some. :P

So, did you guys like it? Please let me know. Thanks for reading and please review! Thanks. :)

Always smiling,
