Chapter One

Heartbroken

"Has it really been a year already?" Riiko thought to herself. Sighing she set her book bag down on the table. She swiftly walked over to her drawer pulling out a tiny box. Flipping it open and staring intently at the rings inside. This was her normal routine. Suffer through school, come home, stare at the tiny rings inside the box, and hope. Hope for Night to one day come back. But this has been going on for long enough. It has been a year for god's sake. She has to accept that no matter how long she waits for Night he won't come back to her. "You're really leaving me" she whispered. As realization hit her heart throbbed with pain.

Sighing she started her homework. These days she was never hungry, never sad, never happy, never anything at all, Just empty. It's like when Night left she lost her heart. All is there anymore is a big hole. She went to school, talked to Soushi, ate, and did homework. All her normal routines but she felt so numb.

Setting down her pencil she went to her kitchen to grab a glass of water. Taking out a sleeping pill she gulped it down with the water. This is also one of her new habits. Sleeping pills. She couldn't sleep without them. Even thought at night sometimes she dreamed of Night, causing her agony when she worked up, it was better then awake and thinking of him.

"Love is suppose to be forever. Love is suppose to be wonderful. Love is suppose to be fate. If Night isn't my destiny does that mean we were never meant to be?" Riiko thought. Then she remembered all the good times with Night. Him winning her father over with his charm and then spilling out their late night plans in front of him! He was so ridiculous sometimes. A chuckle escaped her lips at the memory. Oh how she missed him. Everyday, every little cell in her body is yearning for him. What kind of life is this anyways? A life without the one you love? What is life anymore…maybe this life isn't worth anything. She can die and reborn again, forgetting any of this pain…The pill decided at this moment to kick in so Riiko fell into a dead slumber.

That night Riiko dreamed of him. Her one and only true love. Night came to her grinning that silly grin asking why she was upset. Telling her he was sorry for leaving her, saying how much he missed her. Demanding that she forget about him and live her life to the fullest. And then he disappeared when she tried to touch him. Again he had left her.

"Night, Night, NO NIGHT COME BACK!" Riiko screamed in her sleep, waking up in cold sweat. Sobbing, she crawled out of bed fumbling for the key she always kept on her nightstand. She walked out of her apartment and pushed the key into the doorknob of Soushi's house. Quietly, she walked into Soushi's home. He had found out about her dreams and nightmares and had given her this key so she could come over any time she wanted to if she needed comfort.

Riiko padded through the hall to Soushi's bedroom. There on the floor was a mattress with a blanket and pillow waiting for her. He always set one up every night whether she came or not. Soushi really was so amazing, why couldn't she have loved him? Why can't she love him now? Because another now held her heart. Her Night.

She silently climbed under the covers reaching out to grab Soushi's hand that fell from his bed. Holding on to the warmth she fell again into sleep.

Soushi feeling the hold of someone else had woken up. He rolled over careful not to awake Riiko and watched her. She was so beautiful, his best friend, his little angel. Why didn't he confess sooner? How did he let her be stolen from right under his nose? Smiling a bittersweet smile he laid back down. For now being the one she depended on was enough. He knew just how true her love to Night was. But maybe one day she'll forget about him…No he could not think like that, now she needs to comfort her not hurt her more. For now what's good for her will come first to his wants. "My dear Riiko" Soushi thought as he too drifted off to sleep.
