Emerald Tears

Her emerald green eyes scanned the heavens. As if in search of a star, a star that she could never reach. Confusion and sadness conquered her emotions. She had never felt so forsaken. A single tear ran down her cheeks and she shivered in the stillness of the night.
Her best friend Yukari was sitting on a bench, by the track. Waiting. As if time stood still. She was about to call her name when suddenly, a tall handsome boy walked closer to where Yukari was sitting. Hitomi's eyes widened in surprise. It was Amano. The boy that had occupied her thoughts and ambitions. The boy that had left the state on a breezy fall afternoon. Never had anytime to say goodbye. Never told the reason of his departure. Just left. Left the romance that Hitomi and him had shared, left everything. Hitomi missed him until her soul ached. She always knew that he'd come back to her and everything would be alright.Now he was finally back. Suddenly, a small welcoming smile formed at the corner of Yukari's lips. She stood up, and Amano slipped his arms around her tightly. He drew her face close to his and the two shared a kiss underneath the star embedded sky. Hitomi could stand it no more. She cried out, turned and ran as far away from the track as possible. She could hear the surprised voices of her friends cry out "Hitomi! Hitomi..."
She didn't stop. She kept running until She reached the waterfall. There was a clear view of the beautiful sky. Hitomi drew in a deep breath and let it out. "why?" she asked in a shaky voice. But did she love Amano? or did she not? She couldn't stop thinking about the handsome dark haired King she had left behind in Gaea. He was an Angel. Different from all the rest. He loved her deeply and they both knew it. But Hitomi didn't want to continue. She wanted her old life back.
A single tear raced down Van's cheek. "Hitomi..." he pleaded. "please stay with me. don't leave me anymore."
Hitomi raised her eyes to his and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I have to Van! i can't live here anymore. I have to return to my normal life. I... I can't live in a world that's not my own. " She said her eyes clouded with unshed tears. Van bit his lip and nodded. A sob rose in his throat. "If that's what you really want, I can't make you stay can I?" He stepped back from Hitomi with pain and hurt etched across his handsome features. He turned towards the sky and sprouted his wings. Without even a look backwards, He flew off quickly. Hitomi was transferred back to Earth. Where she belonged. Where she wanted to be. Or was it?
Hitomi stood up. "sigh, what is it that I want. I have a reason to be hurt. Amano left me without saying goodbye, then comes back to be with Yukari. I have a reason. but..." She shivered again and raised her eyes to the sky. "Van, I need you..." She whispered. She felt a sense of longing for that Angel. She could hear the rhythmic beat of the water beating down in the rocks below. She could feel her heart beating to the very same beat. All of a sudden, she understood. "Maybe things were meant to be this way..." Then she turned and walked in search a light.
