This world ends with you .x
Chapter o1.
Never ever?
-
and all want I do is love you
This place reminded me of Pain and Perfection. It was our perfect place to loose each other, I guess you can say. Because this is where everything started, where it all began. Like a strum on a guitar when a song is about to be played. This where everything happened to us, it was our place and it always was with us. I stared ahead at the crying girl I loved. Her hands over her eyes, and her head lowered. She looked like a small crying child.
'It's better...' She choked, I eyed her and waited for those words she meant to say long ago. It would crush my heart, I know they would. My nails dug into the sand. 'If we never ever met.' She muttered. Her whole being was my world, I couldn't stand it.
The violent winds came from the massive plane above. They were waiting for her to aboard the ship, and they were waiting for her last words to be said. I hated those people more then anything in the world.
'I know you don't think that! I know that's a lie!' I shouted at her, she didn't look at me, I tried to catch her eye and her face. But she wouldn't dare look my way while saying what she did. 'I'll come find you, I swear it, Until the day I die!'
'You won't remember any of this - not even me. It's better this way! Don't make it harder then it already is!!' She yelled, but even when she did yell, it was quiet and sad. My body was trembling, I wish I could move, I wish I could hug her, kiss her, I wish this wasn't happening to her. 'Look, I was never supposed to meet you, let's leave it at that...'
'Never supposed? But you did! No matter what you do to my memories or take away from my heart, they can't have you!' I finally caught her eyes, she stared at me wide eyed, tears pouring down her soft cheeks. I was determined to reach her, and grab a hold of her and never letting go. Thus I moved my paralyzed body towards her. I crawled in the sand, and she remained still. 'I won't let them have you...I just won't...No matter what you are...I can't stand to see you in pain!'
'Re...'
'Eureka come along now, be a good girl.'
Her eyes became vacant like before, I crawled harder in the sand as her body began to fade. But before she left like she did, her eyes became normal once again. I stopped in the sand, reaching out my hand, I was almost there, I could almost feel her. She reached out her hand and I could feel the tip of her finger tips, but she vanished and then she was gone. I stared in horror at the empty lot before me. So much had happened, so much...
She was gone, tears piled in my eyes and I lowered my head. Letting my body finally rest and I grabbed a hold of the sand harder. My throat was beginning to get chalky and it hurt. It was completely dry. My body wouldn't stop shaking, my mind wouldn't stop racing, nothing was in my mind but her. Nothing but Eureka.
'EUREKA!!' My throat was sore, but my rage was more then that. But as I was screaming her name in all my fury - a loud sound started to ring through my mind. 'Ugh.' And then everything we've been through flashed through my head like a fast movie. Her laugh - Her smile - Her moments, everything was playing backwards, and it was only then I realized what was happening. She was being erasing her from my memory.
'Eure...' I passed out.
To think, when I wake up, I won't remember her...
Cos' today you walked out of my life
Cos' today your words hurt like a knife
-
It was the new beginning for me. A new school year and my family would be returning home when I got out of school. I couldn't be happier. I lazily dragged myself out of my bed, and pulled my body across the room. I couldn't stand getting up in the stupid mornings, school should start in the afternoon. At least that way, we can all get a bit more sleep. I stared at myself in the mirror. It was a new school year, but I still looked the same. Light blue eyes and brown hair that I could never brush neatly. It just got messy in the wind or whatever later on, anyway.
I yawned and headed downstairs with my uniform on. It was a very formal uniform, but I only wore the pants, the shoes, the tie and the white dress shirt. The tie matched the girls checkered skirt, I don't know why girls always get colorful outfits for. Not that I mind, of course. I walked to my lonely kitchen and stared down at the picture below me, it had my sister and dad. I grinned and hurried out the door.
I was going to be a third year, Renton Thurston a third year. Who would've guessed it? I practically ran down the sidewalk and when I got to a certain corner, I looked down both ends. No-one. I pulled back my body and raised an eyebrow. Where was he?
'Renton!' I turned around and he was walking behind me. Typical guy, coming from different ways then he lives. He walked up to me and grinned, waving his hand at his head. 'Morning!'
'You live that way though...' I pointed down the left sidewalk, confused.
'I only came this way because I thought I was supposed to meet you at your house.' He grumbled, and crossed his arms. 'But then you didn't answer the door, so I had to walk after you. Only then you started to run and then I gave up.' He glared at me suspiciously, and I gulped.
I started to laugh nervously. 'Oh yeah...'
'Shut up.' He rolled his eyes, and placed his hands on my back. Pushing my forward, I hesitated until I found my own pace beside him and we both headed to school. He was much taller then me, and it was noticeable. His eyes were much darker then mine and his hair was blackish green. If that made any sense. Dominic was a hot-head innocent type of guy, he wasn't tuned in and he normally got mad about it. I chuckled, he was so original.
When we go to the school, it was already packed with students. Freshmen who were lost and had no idea what to do or where to go. Third years usually giving them the wrong information. The young girls checking out the older guys, and I blushed, wondering if they were checking me out too. I wasn't handsome or hot, but I wasn't bad...I think. We walked into the class, and everyone was sitting there, looking up ahead. I followed their gaze and I think my mouth hit the ground.
A women stood at the front, her body was unbelievable. No, that outfit was unbelievable. It was the smallest skirt I've ever seen. No, it was the tightest shirt I've ever seen. Plus, her bust, everyone noticed it. Who wouldn't? I couldn't take my eyes off her until she glared at me and walked up to me. I smiled nervously, she looked my in the eye and put her finger under my chin. Forcing my head to go up and nearly reach her lips. My face was getting hot! I didn't know what to do!
'Thurston...I bet your Renton Thurston.' Her voice was like a chime in the wind. I close my eyes and waited for her to say my name like that again. 'Get the hell to your seat.' She growled, I snapped out of it and looked at her. She had her arms cross and glared at me intensely.
I looked at Dominic who snickered at me, and I only blushed more from embarrassment. I looked for the name on my desk and sat down. I recognized a few people from my other classes. A lot of them changed and a lot of them did. I looked to the front and waited for the women to speak.
'Okay, class -' The door slid open, and she walked in.
Something about her caught my eye, she was unique looking. Her skin was milky pale, her eyes were bright lavender and her hair looked turquoise. It was bright, and tucked behind her ears underneath a clips that pushed back her bangs. She looked mature and extremely beautiful. I've never seen her before in my life.
'Do you have a reason your late, miss?' The women asked, with her hand on her hip.
'Yes.' She nodded.
The women raised her eyebrow. I laughed quietly. She was so clueless. 'Well?' She pushed on the question more.
'I didn't know we switched classes.' The class burst into whispery laughs, and I smiled. She blinked and looked at the class, and put her head to the side. Confused, she asked. 'Did I say something funny?' The class laughed more, and I couldn't help but smile stupidly.
'Whatever. Just go sit down beside him.' She pointed at me, and my face fell. I looked at the only empty seat beside me and looked back at the girl who was walking down the aisle. I didn't want to sit down beside her, she was too...awkward. I slammed my head harder then I expected on my desk and groaned. 'My name is Talho Yuki and - ' Her voice was drowned out.
'Hello.' She said quietly, sitting down beside me. I looked at her startled, I didn't expect her to talk to me on such normal terms. 'Nice to meet you. I'm Eureka Novak.' She stuck out her hand, and I reached for it. We shook and she let go, I couldn't help but look at my hand. It felt so cold. I looked back up at her.
'Renton...Thurston...' I mumbled.
She looked different, she talked different, she was different. I looked away and tried to listen to our new teacher, but I couldn't help glancing back at her. I couldn't take my eyes off her, I was captivated by her.
-
Lunch came around I sat around with my usual friends on the rooftop. I lay on back listening to them every now and then, talking about girls and such. They sounded worse then gossiping girls. The clouds were moving slowly, forming shapes in the sky. I watched them move slowly.
'Yo! Renton!' I blinked, and looked up at friend who was leaning over me. He had a mischievous grin on his face. 'Stop fantasizing about Talho!' He laughed, I flushed and jumped to my hands and knees.
'It isn't like that! I wasn't fantasizing anything about her!' My face was hot, and I seriously didn't want them to think that.
'It's written all over your face!'
I covered my face and groaned, they laughed even more. Then we were broken off by a bunch of giggles at the door. We turned our looks to see a bunch of girls standing there. We watched until one of them approached us, she looked pretty cocky. She pushed back her hair and gave us a dirty look.
'My friend needs to talk to Dominic.' I looked at Dominic, and he spit out his food, and looked up at the girl confused. It was like he was never here, and they wanted to talk to him? He shook his head and pointed at himself.
'Me? Why me?' He asked innocently.
'Just come and you'll see!' She sneered and turned around. Dominic shrugged and walked after her. I watched him and he talked a bit. Then the girl wailed and ran out the door. Her friends followed and Dominic came back just as Quiet as he left. He sat down like nothing happened, and continued to eat his food.
'Dominic...' My face tightened. 'Don't just sit there like a moron! Tell us what happened!' I strangled his little neck, and watched his head swing back and forth.
'She - She just asked - asked - RENTON!!' He screamed, and I finally let go of his neck. I sat back down and he rubbed his neck. I grinned and waited for his story. He coughed, and continued. 'She just asked...to be my girl - girl friend...is all...' Me mumbled shyly, I smirked at him.
'And?' One of the guys pushed him on more.
'I said No. I told her she was beautiful but I was waiting for the right one.' He shrugged, shoving his food back into his mouth.
'You need to loose your virginity sometime soon.'
He spit back out his food, his face completely red. 'I have a feeling, I'll never get to eat in peace...'
I laughed, and layed back down. What a first day. But the squeaky chrome door caught my eyes and I looked up. Eureka stood there like she was lost. I sat up and watched her glance around. I got up to my feet, something was calling me, maybe it was her beauty. Or maybe it was just her. I followed the sound of the calling and walked up to her. She blinked and looked up at me.
'Are you...lost?' I asked calmly as possible.
'No.' She shook her head. 'I've been at this school for awhile, and I've never known to come on the Rooftop.' She answered casually and quietly.
'Never ever?' I asked her.
'Never ever.'
'Oh, It's Eureka, right?'
She nodded. 'Yup. And you're...Brent?'
I felt a block fall on my head. What was I supposed to expect?
'Renton...'
'Oh, Right!'
'Well, if you come here when the sunsets or sunrise. It's much more beautiful that way. Eureka.' I smiled at her, scratching the back of my head.
She pointed towards the sky, and I nodded. She clapped her hands in front of her. 'If I come tomorrow, would you come with me? For the sunrise?' She asked, sounding very hopeful.
'I can't...I mean - My family...tonight...' I stammered, and her hopeful self slowly disappeared and to think I would notice this. 'I'll be...up late...'
'Oh...'
SAY YES!! SAY YOU'LL GO!!
My mind raced, and I shut my eyes.
'I guess I'll go alone then...' Her voice was quieter.
GOD DAMNIT RENTON!!
She turned around and walked through the door. I stuck out my mind and I was frozen, like a stone, like a rock. I couldn't move! I felt so stupid, I wanted to go, I really wanted to go with her. I wanted to see the sunset with Eureka. My friends circled me, and wrapped their arms around my neck. Smirking.
'Smooth.'
'Way to go Renton.'
I fell to my hands and knees. 'This is completely...hopeless.'
'Well, I guess so.' A voice came from behind me. My eyes shot open and I turned around to look at Dominic with a smile on his face. I glared at him, I knew he was doing it on purpose. 'You totally blew her off when you obviously like her. What kind of person are you?' He looked at me with a tease on his face.
'Oh, shut up! You didn't do any better...'
'But I didn't like her, you like her Renton! Don't be so dense...' He rolled his eyes, grabbed my arm and picked me up off the ground. I stumbled to my feet, but I managed to catch the look on his face. He was serious. 'Don't let go of things you might regret later, things you know you'll regret.'
'Dominic...' I stared at him speechless, and my mouth wide open.
He flicked my forehead. 'Now, C'mon you lazy ass.' He shoved his hands in his pocket and walk ahead of me. I stood there puzzled, people are so weird these days. I can't understand them. I shook my head, and followed him.
'Hey!'
-
I literally ran home, I couldn't wait to see my sister and dad. Two years ago they left to examine ruins together, I would join them in a year. But they would be coming home for a whole week. I couldn't stand the excitement running through my body, and I saw my house, it felt like I was running slower. I grabbed my mail and fiddled with my keys. I opened my door with a huge smile on my face.
'Dad! Sister!' I looked around the living room, then the kitchen, and then their rooms. There was no bags, no noise, no people. That meant no sister and no dad. 'Diane...?' I asked quietly as I stood before her door. They didn't come.
I checked my mail and saw their letter;
Dear Renton,
We're sorry that me and your sister couldn't make it. We meant to come home for a short visit, but something was brought up and we need to write it up.
Renton!
It's Diane. Sorry, we couldn't come. I love you lots, more then anything. Dad says he does too. Have fun being a third year!Get a girlfriend so I can meet her. Make sure she's cute! Bye. Love you.
Ps: You're all we have, be careful.
I sat back in my couch and groaned. This was stupid, they were supposed to be here before summer started and then they can't come at all? I haven't seen the both of them since spring, and that was a long time ago. I re-read the letter a bunch of times, their words were so comforting.
'You're all we have...Be careful...' I looked up at the ceiling, and read it over. 'What an odd thing to say.' I thought about it and nothing came to mind. I shrugged and dropped the piece of paper to the ground, and walked away. It was hopeless. Completely hopeless.
In the morning, I had no idea what to expect when I got there. Would she be there? Would she have come on her own? I was running with all my might, I needed to beat the sunrise. I reached the school within minutes then I usually do, and ran up more the five flights of stairs. I burst through the chrome doors, and looked ahead.
What I saw that day, I could never forget it. Never.
The sun was rising behind her and she turned around slowly, looking startled then beginning to smile. The glow on her skin was bright and she looked more beautiful then ever. She ran up to me and smiled with her hands over mouth. It was dazzling.
'Renton! You came!'
'I was told...if I liked something I shouldn't let go...' I smiled goofily at her, and she giggled.
'But since I was so surprised you came-' She turned around, and looked at the pink sky mixed with the blue. I stood up beside her and looked at the colors in the sky. 'I missed the sunrise.' My head fell to the side. 'But next time we'll get to see it.'
'Yeah!' I looked at her, and grinned. 'Next time!'
I don't know exactly what is going on, but I know it's going to be alright. I closed my eyes and truly believed that. It was a new beginning for me, I never had this feeling before.

End of Chapter
AN: I've never written in first person before. It saddens me, because then I won't get to really write out Eurekas feelings and more interesting stuff happens to her. More emotions then Renton anyway. -laughs- None the less, maybe one day I'll write the first chapter regarding her, yup. That's right! I'll do it after I'm done writing this. Anyway. Thanks. Reviews, please? I really wanna know how I did on this.
