A Second too Late
"Amu, I'm never going to see you again." These words hit my like a stab in the heart, this can't be true, he can't be leaving, but what was this feeling. This feeling of desire, pain, fear, and maybe even love? Ikuto couldn't be leaving after everything I did to try to release him Easter's grip. Finally I managed to choke out the word, "Why" That one word took so much energy to say.
"My mother and I are going overseas to find my father, Tsukiyomi Aruto, it had turned that turned out that since he never died, my mother was still married to him so we're going to the States to find him." I hated myself that moment, I couldn't believe that a person could be so selfish, I think the normal me would have been happy for him, but that aching pain in my chest was too much to bear.
"What about me, you're just going to leave me here to just continue living? After everything we've been through?" After that the tears started leaking out.
"Amu, I-"
"You're a horrible person Ikuto, I hate you." After that I ran off not paying attention to where I was going, but eventually I found that I had ended up at my house and when I went in my house I could tell that my dad was going to make a big commotion, and boy was I right.
"MY LITTLE SPARROW, WHAT HAPPENED??? HAVE I BEEN A BAD DADDYYYYYY??????" I ignored everything and just went upstairs not even wanting to face Ran, Miki, Su, or even Dia.
"Amu – Chan, are you all right?" said the 4 of them at the same time
"I'm all right, just leave me alone for a little bit, ok?" I said with a fake smile, I felt like I was dead. Like I could never be cheerful again. I heard a little knock on the balcony door, even though I already knew who it was I still raised up my head and seeing Ikuto was like a little burst of energy, I went to open the door and Ikuto immediately said, "Amu, I" But I silenced him by hugging him as tight as I could, "I'm sorry Ikuto, I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean it, please forgive me, please, I'm just so confused, it hurts, it hurts a lot" We just stayed like that for a couple of more minutes and Ikuto finally said, "Amu, I'm sorry, but I have to say this. I love you. " Hearing these words had a big effect, and I finally realized that I also loved him, and I also knew that I was a second too late, that he was leaving, but for now, I'll just savor this moment until I see him again, because I'm sure I will.
-The End-
