Amu's P.o.v
It has been a year since… well… his death. I wonder what he's doing right now. Does he miss me? Is he happy there? Can I see him again?
All those questions keep on coming back in my head every time I think of him.
I stared at the ceiling while lying on my bed.
"Ikuto… I miss you…" I would always say as if he could hear me.
"Amu-chan!" I heard my mother called my name from downstairs "Let's go" She added.
"Yes Mama" I said while standing up and pushing those thoughts away... Just for awhile.
Quickly, I stood up and faced the mirror while staring at my reflection. I couldn't help but sigh.
"This isn't me" I whispered. "I have been known for being 'cool & spicy' and not for being 'soft & pityful'" I said while forcing myself to bring up my long, lost façade.
Since, Ikuto left me. I have changed… a lot. I couldn't smile, well… I could, only if my parents would force me, though. But, that was a fake smile. It holds nothing, not like my old cheerful smile, It would bring every person to stare at me, jaws dropping. I looked down thinking.
'What if… What if I just kill myself?' I thought. 'Then, I could be with Ikuto' but then, I shook my head.
"No… No… If Ikuto was here, He'll never want me to suffer pain" I convinced myself.
"But, the problem is… Ikuto isn't here…" I whispered.
Then, I turned around and walk to my bed. I sat at the corner near the side tables and pick up a picture frame. It was the picture of me and my lover, Ikuto. Yep, I forgot to mention, Ikuto and I were a couple… before well, he died. We were dating for 3 years since, I was 13 and now I'm 17. I continue staring at myself there at the picture, then I remembered something.
"I-Ikuto…" I said as I grabbed my necklace.
It was a special necklace. It wasn't worth millions or whatever other girls would want. No… It was a simple silver necklace with a pendant of a bluish-black cat and a strawberry and on the back of it, wrote, 'Amu & Ikuto. FOREVER'I look back at the picture; I remember it was our first date…when he gave this necklace. And still, I'm wearing it right now. I never removed it and never will I… ever.
"HINAMORI AMU!" I jumped and turn around. I saw my mom turning red with anger. Wrong move Amu…wrong move...
'Crap… I forgot!' I thought. I was so busy thinking about Ikuto, as usual, that I forgot that we were supposed to go now and attend the presentation of Ami's class at her school.
(Scarlett: Excuse me, Sorry for interrupting. In case you'll ask, Ami's age is 8.)
"Umm… I'm sorry Mama… I guess I was spacing off… again" I spoke quietly while looking steadily at the floor avoiding eye contact with her.
"I'm glad you know what you did wrong…" she said softly.
'Phew!' I thought. 'At least she isn't mad!'
"BUT, I HOPE I'M NOT DISTURBING YOU BECAUSE NOW AMI'S LATE FOR HER OWN PRESENTATION!" She exploded.
"I'm really sorry—" I tried to apologize. But, she cut me off.
"It's alright. Just… hurry up! Look at you! You're not yet dressed!" She said as she pointed out at my pajamas with an irritated look on her face.
"Hai!" I said. Then, I quickly did my necessities and bla blas on whatever my mother wants me to do.
After picking clothes here, picking clothes there, dressing up and applying makeup, I was finished.
"There! much better!" My mom said while smiling. "I'm glad you moved fast"
"Yes. But, we're still late" I frown to myself. "I'm really sorry"
"That's why let's go!" She smiled. I'm just glad she's back to normal. An angry mom is not so good to see.
"Yeah…" I whispered. She exits my room and left the door open.
I look back at the picture and forced myself not to think about him, just not this day. Especially, since it's Ami's day. I need to bring up myself to smile forcefully for my little sister.
"I should go… plus, I know you're always with me Ikuto" I said as I held the pendant tightly and smiled softly as I turned around to leave the room.
Normal P.o.v
What Amu didn't know is that when Amu thought Midori left her room, she was still outside by her door waiting for her. And, saw her still looking at that picture of her boyfriend also hearing every word her daughter said. And, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Amu-chan" She looked at her daughter sadly "I'm really sorry for what happened to Ikuto-kun" She whispered quietly.
Well, because Amu is busy forcing herself to hide those memories that are so precious to her, she didn't even noticed her mother peeking outside.
Luckily, Midori had left seconds ago just before Amu could turn around and caught her in the act.
Scarlett: There! Is it good? Or not?
Amu & Ikuto: *jaws drop*
Yoru: *claps hand* Yes nya~!
Amu: Ikuto…died? *eyes widen*
Ikuto: I…I, the Sexy Ikuto… DIED?! What kind of story is this?!
Scarlett: Sexy your ass Ikuto ! *tongues out*
Ikuto: Well, My Amu still feels the way I do. Right, Amu?
Amu: Ikuto died? *smiles* Scarlett! I've been waiting for this!
Scarlett:Oh really?! *smiles*
Ikuto: W-What? You too, Amu? *faints*
Scarlett: Hope you liked it!
Amu & Yoru : Please R&R nya~!
