Drive
Everything was awkward between them. Ever since high school had ended, they had broken up. It was quiet. The silence made him want to puke. Everything about this road trip was dodgy. They knew the squad had left them on their own on purpose, but they never thought it would be this awkward.
My hands were wrapped around the stick shift, swerving on the 405, missing all the signs. I didn't know what to do, how to act. I mean high school sweethearts don't last long. I still love him though, but we drifted apart. I remembered the feeling of your soft lips on my neck, the fun times we had together. He was the one that stole my heart, melted the ice on it. And I'm grateful. He made me feel special and loved.
It was ridiculous. This silence was killing me. We had the awkward position of just friends, even though I still loved her. She probably hated me though. I still have no idea why.
All we do is drive
All we do is think about the feelings that we hide,
Sick and full of pride
All we do is drive
I was going to do it. I was going to tell her I loved her; my true feelings. I was going to ask her what happened, why is happened. I needed answers, I needed her.
I didn't know what to do. At this point, I was losing my mind.
"This is more awkward than I expected," I say, eyes still on the road.
He laughs. Laughs. His laugh, echoes in the car, carving into myhollow chest, spreading over the emptiness. The awkwardness has gone, and we are laughing and singing along to the tunes coming on in the car. We start talking, sharing our new lives. He tells me how he is helping out in an animal shelter, and I tell him about my company. We share our fears and dreams but we don't share our feelings.
I was happy, but disappointed. Did he not love me?
"This, was great, Ruka." I smile, stopping the car at the side of the road. We have reached his house.
It's so simple but we can't stay
Overanalyse again, would it really kill you if we kissed?
"Hotaru, I…I … had a great time. Thanks again." I bowed my head. I was so stupid. Ihad one chance and I blew it off.
"Right, I'll be leaving." She says coldly, before changing the gear and driving off. What have I done?
It hurt. It hurt like hell. It felt as if he was ripping out my heart and stepping on it, or worse, the ice was starting to grow back again.
And that is my rewritten one shot of Hotaru and Ruka. It is sad, I know )):
Please drop some reviews :)))))

Prologue
"How was it?" Mikan Sakura grins, jumping onto her best friend.
"Eh, could have been worse." I reply stoically. Mikan frowns at me.
"Tell me all the details!"
XXX
I look at Mikan who is teary eyed.
"Hotaruuuu!" She wept, pulling me into a hug. This time, I didn't mind, I hugged her bag, and silently cried into her auburn hair.
Maybe my heart would go to Mikan, instead.
