Prologue
x.x.x.
Terra fell in love with her at first glance. But from the word go, he knew he would never have a chance with her. Aqua probably didn't even know who he was, or if he even existed. She was beautiful, smart, and was the captain of the swim team. She was amazing, and unfortunately she already had a boyfriend. Not to mention Terra was a year younger than her, which only lessened his chances tenfold.
By some divine prank he became the best of friends with her younger brother Ventus. It was pathetic but he had taken any chance he could to see her when he visited his friend. It wasn't before long that Ven noticed his friends liking towards Aqua.
Over time, Aqua and Terra became acquainted. And not much later, became great friends. But Terra knew that she never thought of him as anything more than that.
Ven then proceeded to tell Terra, that Zack, even if he looked all nice at school. He was never good to Aqua, and that all they did was fight. Occasionally when Terra would be visiting at Ven's house, Aqua would come home crying.
It killed Terra to see her like that, then to see them the next day at school making it seem as if everything was a okay, even though it wasn't. That's when bruises started appearing on her body. Terra tried to talk to her about it, but she just got quiet and refused to speak on the matter.
One day, Aqua and Zack got into a fight at school. Ven and Terra were watching from a distance, still not too pleased at how Zack is to her. Zack then raised a hand and slapped Aqua across the face. She was going to return one to him, but Terra got to him first. The end result was Zack needing stitches and his nose was badly broken, but Zack would never touch Aqua again.
That summer, Terra had finally kissed Aqua. She denied any feelings she had towards him. But her beet red face said otherwise. And thankfully he didn't walk away with any injuries as he had previously expected.
On many occasions he asked her out, but every time she would politely decline, but that didn't change their friendship whatsoever. They kept being the best of friends, with Ven as the self-proclaimed third wheel, even though they weren't together. Yet.
The day before summer vacation ended and Aqua's last year began, Terra took her to the clock tower in Twilight Town. They ate sea-salt ice cream and just talked like they usually do, but this talk had turned into an argument. Aqua was about to go home, when Terra asked her out again. He expected the usual answer. But miraculously, she had finally said yes.
Terra couldn't have been happier that year. Even thought it went by fast, he savoured every moment he had with her. It was like a dream come true, but just as things seemed perfect. Aqua graduated. She wanted to study abroad and she only came back every four or five months for only a few days at a time.
She finished her first year to come back in time to see Terra and Ven graduate. But when she did come back she seemed sort of different. Not long after their graduation, Aqua packed up and left. She had only been home for a couple days and was leaving again. But this time she didn't plan on coming back.
As she was jumping on the train, Terra spotted her. In confusion he asked her what was the meaning of all of this. She told him that he wouldn't understand and gave him one last kiss goodbye before the train left the station.
And that is how his pathetic love story began...

A/N:
First off, I do not own Kingdom Hearts or anything else that isn't mine that I mention in this story. However I do own this story, it belongs to me and no one else.
I plan on writing multiple chapters for this story, and along the way I hope you all read and review like your life depends on it. I really appreciate your thoughts and constructive criticism is always welcomed. However I do not appreciate rude comments. And just like my friend Thumper used to say: (Well I think it was his mom, but does it really matter?) "If you ain't got nothin' nice to say, don't say it at all."
So I will try my best to update every two to three days, maybe less. But I can't guarantee anything because even if it is summer vacation I am still very busy with work and sports.
