Hi everyone! I'm really excited about my first fan fiction! Yep my first! And I really hope everyone enjoys!

Misaki wasn't really known for breaking down in the middle of her apartment, on a sunny Sunday afternoon. But after a year of bottle up pain and depression, today it just felt right for her to let it all out.

She was in the kitchen making herself a cup of tea when everything came crashing down. She finally let it sink in what she lost, and now you can see her in the middle of the kitchen floor, knees pressed to her chest and her black hair hiding the usually bright amble eyes.

Memories kept running through her head like a broken T.V. Flashes of the night and exactly why she was curled up in a ball. The word goodbye from his lips was haunting her, and she hated how much effect he had on her, when obviously he didn't care about her. Memories of his emotionless face when he left, not turning back.

Suddenly she was anger, anger at herself for, ever believing him and mad at him for breaking her so easily. dammit she was Misaki Ayuzawa and some lowlife who went off to England wouldn't stop her from living her life! It's been a year and he's obviously not coming back. It's time to get on with her life.

Misaki is 22 now and in her last year of university. She also had a job at a famous karaoke place that was only down the street from where she lived. Her apartment was big 1 bedroom 1 bath, she doesn't have to pay the rent because of the scholar ship she gained when T...T...He left.

She threw herself in anything to get her mind off it. She had a lot of close calls where she would work herself to hard and her body would collapse, but now she had no one to catch her when she falls. Misaki's friends would try to get her to stop and relax but relax would mean thinking about him.

But she needs to stop think about him! She has an amazing life that many would kill for; she needs to get back to it! She has friends and family that love and worry about her. And maybe when's she's ready she can start dating. That's what people her age do right?

She sighed and glanced at the clock that was on the wall facing the door and cursed "I'M LATE!"

Misaki raced to her room quickly changed and brushed her hair. Racing out of the door and down the street forgetting to lock up. Misaki came to work looking hurried and lightly panting. One of her co-workers little chuckled and just said "Boss wants you out front" before turning back to his game.

Warily Misaki walked out front to where all the people were and was surprised when she heard no one's horrible singing…usually this place had one bad singer after the other lining up. And what surprised Misaki the most was the place was full.

"MISKAI! PLEASE HELP ME! NO ONE IS SINGING! COULD YOU GO UP AND GET THINGS STARTED! PLEASE!" her boss ran up and gave her the cutest pout.

"Umm…I don't know"

"Please, your voice is amazing! It would inspire people"

Misaki blushed at the complement and sighed grabbing the microphone on her way to the stage. Causing her boss to smile in triumphant.

Picking any song she knew, which was a lot considering music had a great way of making people forget or only remember the good times and she needed the healing power the past year. Choosing one of her favorite songs 'Counting Stars' by One Republic. She began singing.

Misaki never really thought or knew she had a good voice until she was dragged here with her friends to have a 'fun night' and forced to sing. Once The Boss heard her voice she offered Misaki a job and here she was. Singing in front of people she didn't know and looking out to their 'awe' filled expressions and feeling at peace. That is until…
