We all walked in silence until Syusuke's house was in view. I stopped abruptly. "What's wrong, Serthia?" Ryoma asked me as he looked up at me. "You're going to get sick if you stay out in the rain any longer." Momo told me. "I know Syusuke isn't here..." I replied to Ryoma. I fell to my knees and tears slipped down my cheeks once again. "DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, tears steaming down my face. "Serthia! We won't know if we don't get there! Get up and lets go! Stop being such a CRYBABY!!" Ryoma shouted at me. My eyes widened. Momo stared at Ryoma with his mouth wide open. "Ryoma..." I whispered. "Come on. Get up, lets go to Fuji's." Ryoma said as he extended his hand. "..I don't think I can walk...My mind is like..forbidding my legs from moving....." My voice trailed off. I looked at the ground. "Then there's only one way." Momo said as he sighed. I felt his arms slide their way under my knees and around my waist. He picked me up and was now holding me bridal style. A light blush appeared on my cheeks. I saw Ryoma glare at Momo, but I don't think he wanted anyone to know. Ryoma was also like my older brother, even though he was younger and shorter than me. We continued to walk to Syusuke's house. "Momo, nya!" A familier red-headed boy shouted at Momo from Syusuke's porch. "Eiji! Is everything alright?! Is--" Momo got cut off. "Echizen! Serthia! Momo! Are you guys alright?!" Oishi shouted really loud at us. Eiji ran back inside the house and a minute later, blankets and the rest of the regulars plus Yuuta were outside. "Are you okay, Serthia?" Taka asked me. "..Yes, I'm fine...Why do you ask?" I asked back trying to hold in tears. "Momo is carrying you. Did something happen?" Taka looked at me. "Nothing is wrong with her foot, or her leg." Inui said while examining my legs and feet. "is Syusuke here?" I asked everyone. Everyone looked at the ground, except Tezuka. Kaidou and LeeLee were inside. "Fuji is not here." Tezuka said flat out. Silence filled the porch. "Momo, put me down. Now." I told him, holding back tears still. Momo set me on my feet quickly. As soon as my feet hit the floor, I pushed Tezuka out of the doorway, resulting in him falling into Ryoma. I ran inside as fast as I could. Up the stairs, to Syusuke's door. Locked. I went to the room next to his and picked up a small cactus. I reached my hand into the grainy, sandy soil and took out the secret key. I put the cactus down and ran back to his room. I unlocked it, threw the key to the side and ran in. His room was clean, but I did not see him. I ran and jumped on his bed, crying my heart out. Syusuke really was gone. I heard the regulars calling my name, searching for me. I opened Syusuke's window. I could not live without him. I climbed out the window onto the little edge that was below it. I looked down. I was TERRIBLY afraid of heights. Since Syusuke's house was a two-story with concrete, it would kill me if I jumped. I saw Yuuta on the porch still. He must have either heard me or saw my tears hitting the pavement, but he looked up at me wide-eyed. "Serthia!!!!! Don't jump!!" He shouted. All the regulars came running outside to see what Yuuta was talking about. I saw everyone but Momo. Everyone was telling me not to jump, even Tezuka. "I'm going to join you, Syusuke. My beloved Syusuke...The love of my life...." I whispered. I, then, walked off the ledge, ready for my death.
