APOV
"Amu, I just can't do this anymore. We've both changed, and its time I moved on. I'm sorry." Tadase was standing in front of me, his blonde shaggy hair hanging in his red-violet eyes that showed her really wasn't sorry. He's right we have changed, together. But I guess he just doesn't get that; I know a lot about him because we spend so much time together. He can't hide much from me.
He sighed and put his hand on my arm, I shrugged it off and back up, "You mean you can't attempt, poorly attempt, to hide all the girls you have on the side?" I bit out angrily breaking my everlasting silence. His eyes widened in pure shock. I couldn't keep the satisfied smirk off of my face.
His face quickly changed to annoyance, then to an uncaring look, "well since you know. Yes. That's exactly why. I would have done this sooner but.."
"You didn't have the balls to do so?" I laughed, faking like I wasn't hurt, "I doubt you even have them now."
"Well I can assure you I do, you can even ask Saaya." Without even thinking about it my hand fisted and made contact with his face, I heard a crunch and he yelped stumbling backwards until he fell on his ass.
Behind me I could hear a gasp, a chuckle and a sigh. Su, Ran and Miki. After one last glare at the bleeding Tadase I turned on my heel and stomped off, keeping my composure until I was home and collapsed into my bed curling up and crying painfully into my pillow
After my two hour cry-fest I sat up wrapping my arms around my knees and burying my face in them. I wish Utau was still here..
Thinking that was of course pointless, she was far away on tour. Maybe I could call her. I scooped up my phone and dialed the number. It rang twice and went to voicemail. With a soft sigh I hung up and walked over to my dresser. The sight reflected in the mirror wasn't a pretty one. My eyes and nose were red, my face streaked with black my pink eye shadow was everywhere and I was red in splotchy, my hair was a second mess, the long pink curls I had before I got home were a wreck and bunched and twisted in random directions. I looked like medusa. Ew.
Behind me I could see Miki, Ran, and Su floating all 3 looking very worried. "I'm fine guys." I informed in a hoarse voice, forcing a smile on my face.
Now that I really looked at myself I could see how much I had truly changed, my hair, once short and carefree was now kept long(down past my hips) and curled or pinned up in a dramatic up-do. My once "cool & spicy" outfits were now more similar to those of my classmates, name brand everything perfectly matched by Miki.
Annoyance bubbled up inside me, when and why had I done this! I slammed my fist down on the dresser. I knew the answer, Tadase. I slammed it down again.
It had started right after Easter was taken down. Tadase he changed and I changed to stay with him. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid!
I got up shoving my self away from the dresser and marched into my bathroom riffling through my drawers until I found the scissors. I turned on the music and slammed the door shut.
My scissors worked quickly hair falling in a pile at my feet and when I finished my hair was just like it was all those years ago, at least sort of, it was cut that way, but longer, mid-back instead of bellow my hips. I wiped the makeup off my face and stripped down to shower, I know you're supposed to shower then cut it but, I was going on impulse.
I stepped out feeling refreshed. I crossed the hallway into my room feeling Ami's gaze on my back; I turned around and smiled at my 12 year old sister with her brown curls framing her face and an innocent smile that reached her soft golden brown eyes.
Miki, Ran, Su, and Aya, Ami's orange haired chara floated behind her, "Ami, do you want to go get some of my clothes, I know they'll fit you soon. Your almost as big as me."
The shock that covered her face dissipated just as quickly as it came as she ran into my room pure glee on her face. Whilst she was looking for clothes I grabbed some clothes, got dressed behind my changing screen.
"Amu why are you letting me have some?"
"I'm selling the rest."
"Why?"
"Dunno. Time for change." I sighed flopping down on my bed while she turned on the radio. One of Utau's songs drifted through the speakers. Meikyuu Butterfly.
Ami immediately started singing along.
"Open your shiny eyes in the silent night the wondrous night swooped down filled with the sound of footsteps from a stealthy desirous black cat's paws." I noticed that during her singing her hair turned the same orange color as Aya.
As she started her next verse I found myself singing along, "The floating silhouette in the moonlight said 'Let's go this way' with a beckoning smile a shadow of desire covered the squirming city as the wandering angel descended." There was a soft knock on our door and our mom stepped in.
"I thought I heard my angel's in here. Amu! Your hair!" she gasped in delight her eyes sparkling, "It looks wonderful!"
I could feel my face heating up, "Thanks."
"What's going on in here?"
"Amu's letting me have some of her clothes!" Ami gushed, my mom raised an eyebrow at me which I deflected with a shrug.
"I'm going to take them up to Swap and get some money for new clothes; that's okay right?"
I could tell my mom didn't know what to say, "Okay. Glad I didn't get you clothes for your birthday." She smiled at us and turned walking out of the room.
Once the door shut Ami and I burst into laughter, she had definitely got me clothes. I would probably keep it anyways.
The song changed to a new one I didn't recognize. But Ami sung along.
"Sometimes I'm a selfish fake You're always a true friend And I don't deserve you 'Cause I'm not there for you. Please forgive me again." Something about those lyrics made my heartache.
"I'm going to take these. Do you want me to bring you bags for the rest?"
"No I have some."
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow. I'm going over to Anci's." she waved goodbye and closed my door. I scooted off my bed and grabbed a bag and began tossing clothes into it.
When I was done I had 9 bags in a neat pile by my door. With a sigh I looked back at my nearly empty closet. Inside was a jean skirt, a plaid skirt, a random shirt I got on a trip, and a pair of jeans. My drawers were empty except for my undergarments and a few shirts, shorts and leggings.
I grabbed 5 bags in one hand, 4 in the other and walked down stairs, "mom can I borrow the car?"
"Sure. The keys are hanging up."
"Thanks!" I said with a smile and walked out grabbing the keys. After packing all the bags in the back I pulled out my phone and texted Yaya.
Wanna go to Swap? I'll pick you up.
Sure! Just let me get some clothes!
With a smile I drove toward Yaya's house. Outside Yuiki, Yaya's brother was playing with two of his friends; he waved at me before he was knocked aside by Yaya who came bounding toward my car a huge smile on her face, her hair in its normal pig tails and not a trace of makeup on her face.
"Amu-chan!" she giggled with glee tossing her bags on the floor, sliding in and giving me and awkward hug. I couldn't help but smile at her as she sat back in her seat. I couldn't help but smile when I was around Yaya. She was still so childish even though she was almost 17 like me. Pepe floated lazily behind her and joined Miki, Ran, and Su in the back.
I sighed, September 23. My 18th birthday was in 2 days.
Yaya was babbling away next to me while I droved pretty much on auto-pilot. What was with me and reacting that way to a song? I mean really! Who, no what, Why!
Suddenly the guitar strums filled my car, "Yaya do you know this song?"
She listened for a minute, "nope." With a sigh I listened to the rest of the lyrics.
"I wanna be there for you someone you can come to runs deeper than my bones I wanna be there for you I wanna be there for you Swirling shades of blue Slow dancing in your eyes The sun kisses the earth And I hush my urge to cry I wanna be there for you
someone you can come to runs deeper than my bones I wanna be there for you I wanna be there for you 'cause I hear the whispered words In your masterpiece beautiful You speak the unspeakable through I love you too I wanna be there for you And be someone you can come to I wanna be there for you And be someone you can come to The love runs deeper than my bones I wanna be there for you."
That's when it hit me.
Ikuto.
