"Mai, stay." Gene pleaded me with wide, hopeful eyes.

I looked away. I couldn't bear to look into his deep sapphire eyes. I would get lost in them and then I wouldn't be able to say 'no'.

To see his sad expression…it would just brake my heart.

"I can't." I whispered looking down. My light brown hair draped over my face. I suppose that was a good thing. For I didn't want him to see my face. I was ashamed.

He gasped at my reply. Then he spoke once more, "Please , Mai. I'm begging you." He said this kneeling down. He grabbed my hand and held it between his. They were pale and seemed colder than usual.

"I can't!" I yelled hysterical. Tears were running down my blood-shot eyes. I pulled my hand away and ran.

I ran into the endless vortex that was my dream realm. It seemed to go on forever. Every now and then, I would look over my shoulder to see poor Gene holding out his arm. But I can't go back. As much as I want to, I mustn't.

(A/N: Really short chapter, I know, but I just wanted to write it to let you guys get a bit of an idea. Also, Mai loves Gene, but to stay with him forever, she'll have to sleep forever. The only solution to that would be to fall into an endless sleep (otherwise known as: DEATH ). So as you can see, this is a really big decision for Mai. Sure, Mai loves Gene (in this FanFic.) but is it really worth it? What will Mai choose? I make this up as I go, so your reviews won't go unnoted. Speaking about reviews…PLEASE REVIEW!)
