The writer rubs the back of her neck nervously.

"Hey uh... Sorry about that whole ruining of the moment thing there at the beginning of chapter 3."

She grins widely and laughs nervously.

"No hard feelings...

Right?"

Recap:

Chapter One: Ritsu has been a little too deep in her thoughts which is worrying Mio. She has some sort of secret she isn't planning on telling her friend.

Chapter Two: The two go to Mio's house to study. Ritsu describes a cryptic dream to Mio (which is what she was hiding) about a mystery woman whom she has feelings for. Mystery woman ends up being Mio and Ritsu gets a little heated and accidentally kisses Mio.

Chapter Three: Mio breaks down after the kiss, giving Ritsu an explanation that they can't be together because they are both girls. Ritsu goes home and has another dream about Mio where they forgive each other. But alas, it is only another silly dream and nothing more. At least it's the weekend...

Secrets Are Secrets

Chapter 4

(FYI: I'm writing like this to show Ritsu's emotion)

Days passed.

Things went on as usual.

But not quite.

Ritsu went though her days like a mindless zombie.

She woke up, got dressed, ate breakfast (if she could), and left for school.

The brunette had cleverly planned out her schedule to avoid her best friend at all costs.

But there was one thing she hadn't planned for,

The Light Music Club's winter concert.

There was no way she could skip it.

But she'd see Mio.

She couldn't.

The drummer slowly opened the club room door and put on the most normal face she could manage to pull of. Yui was practicing with Azusa and Mugi was doing something to her keyboard.

Good.

But where's-

"Ritsu." A voice came from behind the brunette that tore open a freshly cut wound inside her heart. She spun around to face the girl.

"Mio..." Color drained from the drummer's face.

"Ritsu I-"

"Please Mio I can't live like this anymore.."

"But you don't have to Rit-"

"We can't be friends anymore!"

The whole room grew quiet as the short haired brunette ran past her friend with tears in her eyes.

Mio, just stood there.

Frozen in place.

Torn between two decisions.

Her legs became weak.

She fell to the floor.

And fainted.

Azusa: "Mio-sempi!"

Mio: "Are you okay?"

Yui: "I wonder what they were talking about?"

Azusa: "That's not important Yui-sempi!"

Mugi: "Azusa, it might be vital information."

Azusa: "I guess your right."

Yui: "Mio?"

Azusa: "I think she fainted."

Mugi: "Oh my, this isn't good at all. We can't possibly preform without the two of them."
