A/N: Once again an idea that popped into my head while I was reading Skip Beat! fanfics and listening to Taylor Swift. I don't know whose POV this is in, I was originally going to say Kyoko but then realised she just thinks he pops up to be a pain in the a**, so feel free to guess.
They say that people only want what they no longer had, that they only know what they really want after it already gone. That seemed to have been the case with Fuwa, now that Kyoko was no longer by his side. Only after he had driven her away with his careless words and actions did he want her.
Once, all he would have had to have done to have he was to stay and not turn away from her. He had had Kyoko in the palm of his hand, but he went and locked her out while she was wide open to him, and pushed her away with his carelessness.
Now he was there, thinking he wanted her back, but it was too late, he'd broken what they'd had and it may never be able to be fixed. There was no going back to what they once had, what they could have easily still have had, if only he had stayed too. But Kyoko was in a new place for her with a wider support network then she had ever had and was learning that the world was bigger than just Fuwa.
Sho kept calling her, which just kept unintentionally reminding her of what he had done, while she was just trying to pick up the pieces of the mess he had made. All she wanted was the chance to become a whole person after the mess that too many other people had made of her, to build a life from the wreckage of what had been her childhood dreams.
All he would have had to do was stay by her side in the first place and he may have still had her but only now after she was gone did he realise that she was what he wanted. Now when he was around all most of her friends wanted to do was remind him that he was the one that who left her behind first when all he would have had to do was stay, and it served him right that she was moving on to a new phase of her life.
