Chapter One

The Truth

I sat on the park bench, sitting, waiting. I was no longer aware of the time just that I was waiting, waiting for him. Out of the early morning mist I could make out a shape ever moving forward towards me. I stood up. I wanted to run and embrace him, tell him my true feelings…but I had to wait, be calm, patient.

"Takuya you wanted to meet me?" the words that came out of his mouth were like a beautiful song, a song of life and love.

"Yeah…Kouji…" my voice was caught in my throat, how could I tell him, what if he didn't feel the same way? What if he didn't want to be friends after he knew? How could I deal with living without him?

"What cat got your tongue?" I laughed uneasily. If only I could tell him. How wonderful it would feel to get this burden off my chest and know he would be mine forever.

"Kouji…I…I…love…you…" I couldn't believe I had finally said that. I stood there pale as a ghost as I saw his reaction. His eyes widened in shock, his mouth dropped open, this wasn't what he was expecting, but then again I was unpredictable.

"Takuya…I…" he stopped talking. Looked down and shook his head. Was this rejection? The dark haired beauty looked at me, he was searching my eyes looking for any glint that this was a joke, I wish it could be but this was serious I loved him. Time seemed to stop all around us. I ran into his chest, his warm, firm, chest.

"Takuya please," I heard him sigh.

"Kouji you don't understand! I know it's wrong but I love you! I always have and I always will"

"The thing is I love you too though Takuya" I looked up into his icy blue eyes and saw warmth. He wrapped him arms around me, embracing me, holding me. I sighed happily, this is where I belonged. I no longer cared who saw us, all I cared was that he loved me and I loved him. I broke the embrace and we stood there staring into each other's eyes, the wind circled around us making his dark hair wave. Our faces were inches away. I wanted desperately to kiss him, show him that this was real. Our lips brushedagainst each othersbut Kouji pulled away and turned around. He started walking away.

"Kouji…" what he said next I wish I hadn't heard. The words stung me like a thousand hornets.

"Takuya, no matter how much you or I want this to last we both know it can't…if or parents found out…if our friends found out…" he had stopped walking but refused to face me.

"I don't care what they think!" I shouted. I wasn't going to let them tell us it was wrong! I ran to him and grabbed his hand forcing him to face me. I saw a tear fall down his cheek; I saw the pain in his eyes.

"Takuya please…" he looked at me. I felt my heart crack… I felt it break in two I knew he was as serious as he could be…but why?

"Why?" I let the tears fall freely down my face, I didn't care if he thought I was a weakling, I just wanted to cry, I just wanted to be with him.

"Because, one day too soon, I will lose you Takuya, and I don't think I could handle losing you…" he tugged his hand away and turned around. I watched him as he walked away. I fell on my knees the early morning dew soaked the legs of my pants. No. No, no. So this is what it felt like to be heartbroken?

"Isn't it better to love than never love at all?" I cried out weakly from the ground. Kouji stopped once more. His fist clenched and unclenched.

"Perhaps"
