I bet they are lying, I know they are, I can see it in their eyes.

The ex-Lyoko warriors - except Yumi - were sitting at the dinner table after couple of hours of shutting down the supercomputer and saying goodbye to XANA and Lyoko.

It was spaghetti and meatballs day. Odd was eating like it's his last meal, Ulrich and Jeremie were chatting with each other with smiles among their faces and laughter along their talk, mocking the way Odd ate the food. I was just smiling, I couldn't do anything else. There were some tears in my eyes that I couldn't let them out, I didn't want anyone to think I'm weak, I didn't want myself to believe I'm weak. But is it a weakness how hard it is for me to let go everything? My dad, Lyoko, XANA and everything else? I could feel Jeremie's eyes staring at me, but if I turned my head towards him he'll know something's wrong.

"Aelita, are you okay?" he asked

"yeah, sure." I said it with a smile on my face hiding everything else that's going on my mind.

Jeremie didn't seem to be convinced but he smiled back.

After dinner we went to our dorms. The way to the dorms wasn't exactly full of joy. Odd didn't open his mouth for even a word, and kept staring at the ground with a sad look on his face. The same for all of us.

I wished good night for the boys when we reached the boys floor, and went upstairs to my room. I opened the door to face my dark room. The moon light sneaked in through the window, It was a full moon that night. I usually love to sit and glare at the moon when it's full, I enjoy it's beauty and pearly look. But that day I felt like I hate everything.

I took my towel and robe and my Toiletries bag, I thought that maybe I could relax under the shower. I walked down the hallway and went to the bathroom, chose one of the showers, put my things away, took my clothes off and then opened both the hot and cold water tabs, and let the warm water fall on my skin and permeates through my hair, I felt like my head is going to explode, standing under the shower didn't make anything better, so I quickly wore my robe and took my things and got out of there. Didn't even bother to use the shampoo or brush my teeth, I didn't feel like doing anything that night. I walked again to my room and turned the knob and entered my gloomy depressing room. I threw my stuff away on the bed and sat back on it staring at the ceiling. They were faking the laughs and smiles they were doing, nobody wanted to shut down the supercomputer, But we all realized that it's the only way to let go. I rarely see Odd's sad face, and that time was one of those times. In the middle of my thoughts I heard knocking on the door.

"Knock, knock." It was Jeremie's voice. I was wearing nothing but the robe.

"Just a second." I quickly got up and opened my closet, wore my underwear and then my pink night gown.

"Come in." I said while I took out my socks from the drawers.

He got in the room with a smile on his face. His hair was wet, means he got a shower too. I sat on the bed.

"Hey, how are you?" He said it and then sat beside me.

"I'm good, you?" I replied while I put on my soft and warm socks. I didn't even look to his face. He obviously knew I was sad because we shut down the supercomputer, but I was scared that he would say that we did the right decision and there's no need to regret anything. But that was what I was trying to convince myself with the whole day, and it didn't work out. So I really didn't want anyone to repeat the same words to me.

He took a deep sigh and said "I'm good"

We sat there staring at nowhere, just a meaningless stares, before he said "I know it's hard for you to let go, after everything we've been through. It's hard for all of us as well."

He turned his head towards the window, stared for a moment, and then said "The moon is really beautiful tonight. Actually it's beautiful every night, but this is the first time I notice it. It's the first time I spend the night without working on the computer, without worrying about XANA, and without everything that relates to the supercomputer"

And then I realized that it's okay if I looked at Jeremie, and if I spoke what's on my mind. After all, Jeremie is the only one who can understand me, And he's the only one that I can 100% trust.

"Half of my life is about Lyoko, and the other half is about life on Earth. Do you know what it's like to lose half of yourself?" I turned my head and faced him to see that he did the same thing. Tears dropped down from my eyes, I couldn't resist anymore. He put both of his hands on my face and wiped my tears with his thumbs.

"I know." And then wrapped his arms around me, and I reacted the same way. And without resisting, I burst out crying. smelling his sweet scent and leaning on his chest helped me a lot. He passed his fingers through my wet hair , and kept saying "It's alright, everything will be okay." I felt safe and comfort, I've always felt like that when I'm between his arms.

I don't know how long it took me to calm down, but I certainly know that I slept like a baby that night.
