But the thing is... I own this story...
Dedicated to Xerberus, his former love: the b!+©# (or so he says...), and his newfound love...
oh hell...
I was walking toward toward the lighthouse of Tatsumiya Island, looking at the pitch black night sky. Oh well, not exactly the night sky, as I know...
grr...
Oh, well, I don't know how to say this, but... oh man... anyway, I reached the lighthouse and climed up the balcony to think things over to myself...
I stood at the balcony, looking at the beautiful sight of the dark oceans... it was just captivating...
I took a deep sigh and...
"What are you doing here?"
I looked at the voice which caught my attention. To my surprise, it was Tsubaki-san.
"Oh, it was just you," I replied, "Well, I'm not doing anything here at all..."
"Do you want to ask anything?"
She just read me like I was an open book. What should I do? What should I say??
"I don't know what to do... I mean... you know..."
"Did you and Toomi-san break up?"
I nodded.
It's amazing how she acquires information, even if it just happened. Oh yeah, she's the core of the island, I forgot about that suddenly...
"There is one thing that I still couldn't understand," I continued
"What could you not understand?"
"I did accept that our relationship has come to an end, but I still can't seem to accept it within myself. It seems that I can't forget about her... the feeling that I still love her..."
I gulped at the end of that phrase, taking a deep breath afterwards. A chill suddenly ran up my spine; the chills you get from really good memories... memories that suddenly turn into nightmares...
"You know, I really loved her, and I still love her, but..."
"She loved someone else, didn't she..."
I stood still, looking at the ocean for two seconds before finding the correct words to spit out...
"Yes...well, I would and can forgive her for that but..."
"She done something that you didn't expect, right?"
I just nodded.
Wait a minute... I just opened up my problem to someone who I didn't expect to be here... maybe I should shut up now...
"You know," she began, "If you really shared a deep relationship with each other, it would be hard to forget..."
"I know..." I replied. "But I can't just seem to forget the memories we shared together..."
"If you're having a hard time to forget about her, why don't you just try to remove all the memories you shared together..."
I looked at her after her statement... It seemed to me as if she wanted me to gather up all the memories we shared together and burn them...
Should I burn them or not... What am I gonna do?!
Rats...
I took a chance to take a deep gaze at her as she looked at the moon. The moon's white light reflected on her black, silk-like hair... her eyes seemed to be mesmerized by the moon's beauty...
Suddenly everything seemed so...
What the hell am I thinking?! This is not the time to entertain such pathetic thoughts!
I snapped myself back to reality...
"RATS!!" I screamed, breaking the lovely sight.
"Is there anything wrong?" She asked, facing me with eyes that showed innocence and worry...
Oh... those eyes...
I took an immediate countermeasure against myself...
SLAP!
She looked at me with a puzzled face...
"Are you okay?"
"Yes... of course!" I positively replied.
"But you know, it's really hard to forget someone very close to you. I just remember all of them whenever I say this..." she said, her eyes suddenly proclaiming sadness...
"Remember who?" I asked.
"The people who died for the safety of this island..."
"Even you can't forget about the past, can't you?"
I don't know why I saw myself looking at her again... but the sight of her was just amazing. She looked like a crying angel... sweet yet sad... it was just beauti—
Am I going back to that subject again?! I just couldn't say it but...
I nodded... "Important people are hard to forget, right?"
She nodded, casting a spell of silence before us...
The wind blew with a cold sensation. I knew what to do, so...
"It must be getting cold..." I said.
"I can take it anyway..." she replied, nodding.
What do you mean by 'I can take it anyway'? You might get a cold!
I briskly took my coat and put it on her...
"Thank you..." she said.
"About forgetting her..." I reminded.
"Well, you should start a new life without looking back... you could start by burning all your memories of her..."
I knew it... but then...
"Sure... I'll do that..." I rpelied. "But..."
"What is it?"
"Nothing... I just wanted to thank you for everything..."
"Thank you too..." she said as a tint of pink colored her cheeks...
She suddenly faced the opposite direction. I had no idea of what to do, so I just gathered all my courgae and threw away my thoughts on the consequences...
I took her hand, pulling her towards me.
I held her face and started a new life...
