I feel like I should be typing away since I have two whole days off but it seems like I have little inspiration now. I was hoping that maybe something would hit me and then I could write and it looks like my wish came true! I wasn't sure what characters I should use in this one so I just asked my brother and of course, he told me to pick Bakugan! Well, I hope you guys enjoy.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. If I did, Runo and Dan would be together already and Mira wouldn't be in a love triangle with them. She would be madly in love with Ace.

Because I'm Stupid

-

"Why didn't you tell him?" Julie shouted her voice angry and frustrated. The rain continued to fall heavily around us, drenching our clothes.

"Why did you let him do that? You two could have been happy together!" She continued to yell, which caused more tears to flow down my pale face. I sat there, taking in all her words, not bothering to defend myself. I deserved this, all of this.

"It's because you're a coward. A stupid, weak coward." She finished menacingly. All the time taken up to build my tough, nearly unbreakable exterior was wasted. I was weak. I was useless.

"I hope you feel better now. I really believed in you Runo. But you messed it all up this time." With that, she walked away, leaving my all alone, with only the tears that were mixing with the water to keep me company.

Why hadn't I replied? Why hadn't I told him how I really feel? I asked myself after Alice had found me freezing in the park, on my knees near the playground. She had hurriedly taken me home and helped me change into new clothes.

"Runo, don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure that there's a reason why you did it." She had told me softly before closing the door behind her. I stared emotionlessly at the door, not comprehending why she was so kind to me. She should be yelling at me, telling me that I was making the biggest mistake of my life.

It was only a couple of minutes before I started hearing a phone ring quietly from downstairs.

"Hello?" I heard Alice's voice speak. "Hi, Shun."

"Yeah, she's okay, I guess. I found her at the park half an hour ago. Don't tell him. Is he worried?" There was no need to wonder who 'he' was.

"Oh. I think that Julie was too rough on her. I mean, there's probably a reason why she didn't tell him. I just wish that I knew why. She won't talk."

"Oh Shun, I'm so worried. Have you seen her lately? She's so white and her hair's all dull now. And her eyes! They look so empty and dark. She hasn't been eating for two days now! She looks so skinny and fragile, like a ghost. I feel like I'm letting her down, I can't do anything to help her! I'm so worried about her…"

"Yeah, I know. I'm trying. Okay."

"No! Don't let him come here. It'll make it worse. If you want to, that's fine. Yeah, I'll take care of her. I'm promise. Okay, see you later." With that, I heard her place her phone on the table and walk up the stairs. She knocked gently before poking her head in, cheeks slightly pink.

"Hey Runo, how are you holding up?" She asked, although she already knew the answer. I hadn't moved an inch from where I was before. Was what she said before right? Did I really look that bad? She moved to sit next to me on my bed. I looked at her lifelessly.

"Runo, no matter what happens, I'll be here for you, okay? Even if you don't want to tell me, I'll always be your best friend." She told me softly. With those words, I began to break down. Why did I ruin everything? I was such a horrible person. Alice seemed to be crying with me, wrapping her arms around me.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." I kept on repeating, the first time I've spoken to anyone for the first time in a few days.

"Why'd you do it Runo? Why didn't you tell him you loved him? Everything would've been alright if you did." Alice barely ever acted this way. It pained me even more to see my best friend like this but I couldn't answer. I had no answer myself. Instead, I shook my head and sat with her.

It was until later when I found my answer. It was so un-Runo like, so stupid. It was my entire fault and no matter what anyone said, I knew it was the truth.

At eleven o'clock at night, in a town in Japan, a young blue-haired girl with red, swollen eyes whispered in the dark to herself, three soft words….

"Because I'm stupid…"

Worst one-shot ever in my opinion. Maybe I'll redo this after I finish the others. Hmmm…… review please? I wanna see if it was okay. If I get a few reviews telling me that this wasn't that good, I'll make a edited version. Thanks!

PS Have any questions about the situation? Just ask me! I was trying to make it so you guys could fill in most of the blanks I left but if you ask me or email me, I'll be happy to tell you what I think would happen.
