chapter 1
I don't own anything
recap
Once my bath was run with hot water I climbed in and tried to enjoy to soothing water against my skin. Sadly not even that helped much. My mind subconsciously replayed the events from earlier.

Flash Back
I came out side to see the beautiful yet murky lake that had been in my mind for a while. The peaceful scenery tainted with blood. I didn't notice till I had reached the foot of the bridge, that I wasn't alone. There stood a boy. The beautiful boy that I knew so well. He looked at one with nature as he peered over the bridge at the lake. His pitch black hair dancing gently in the wind. He didn't look away from the lake but he did know I was there.
"I am leaving" He whispered, sadness present in his words. I felt a shooting pain in my chest. I started shaking, trembling.
"Leaving. Leaving where?" I asked, instantly regretting it. Deep in my heart I knew what he meant. It was like I couldn't accept it. I wanted him to say he would be back or say he wasn't leaving to somewhere far. His words would hurt me other wise... And I was right. Naru faced me, his blue eyes looked as though he was looking through me or past me, not at me.
"I'm leaving for England" He said not letting himself show the emotion that was clear in his eyes. Mai looked down at the ground as she thought off the stream of tears that threatened to fall any second now. As she thought about the situation, the harder she had to fight. She bit down on her lip harder. She even drew blood. She begged herself to stay strong but... he was the one thing she wanted most.
"P-please don't, please don't leave me- Naru. I- I don't- I don't know what I would do- if you left. I- I love you so much" Mai confessed between sobs, still looking down. She didn't care if she sounded stupid. He told her she was everyday. All she cared about was him staying. Naru was shocked about her confession.
"Mai I-" Naru said after ditching his mask and adopting a caring look. He was cut off by Mai. She clenched her eyes shut and covered her ears. She was no longer able to stop her tears, as one stray graced her cheek. She curled up slightly.
"Naru please. I don't think- I don't think I can handle rejection. It would- It would break me Naru. Please don't- please don't break me Naru" Mai sobbed louder. Naru noticed she was trembling more. She looked so helpless, so vulnerable.
"Mai, is it me you love? Or is it Gene?" Those simple words took everything good in this world away from me. The dam burst and my tears flowed freely. I couldn't stop the sobs and cry of sadness and pain. He rejected me but if felt like someone had driven a knife through my heart. "I thought so. You will see him again Mai... some day" Naru informed with sad smile, his eyes glazed as if fighting a tear or two. I was still looking down when I turned away. He took his leave and left me alone to deal with my heart break. When Naru was out of sight the rain poured down. It was like the heavens were crying too.
