Hi! I decided this story was due for an update. HMBH is obviously next, but this story is actually almost done. Only this chapter and one more to go. So, without further ado, chapter 4! Read On!

I sat on my bed after he left later. Goddess, I was still tired. But, instead of going back to sleep, I grabbed my journal. To my surprise, only one page remained blank. I wrote.

Journal,

Today is the last day I have to share my secrets with you. Thank you for harboring them. This being the last day, I will tell you the one thing I have never told anyone. I will tell you his name. Yes, his name, the name of my love. I love him, you know this. His name is Inuyasha. He's my best friend. And, I love him.

For the last time- Sincerely Yours,

Stevie Nightshade

With that, I locked it, clutched it to my side, and fell back to sleep.

Inuyasha

Inuyasha walked, looking for Stevie. Or, he supposed, it would do to find Amelia. She was his girlfriend after all. Then again, that might not last too much longer. She was too clingy. He didn't do clingy. Eventually, his feet found Stevie's door and he knocked, nine quick raps of his knuckles. No answer. He knocked again. Still no answer. He turned the knob, finding the door to be unlocked. He slipped inside and saw her sleeping soundly. He was about to go and find Amelia when he spotted the small book in her arms. He gently pried it from her.

The book was locked. The key was around her neck. Gently, he lifted it. She didn't stir. Unlocking, he flipped to the first page.

Journal,

Today I am required to write about the thing I care for most, as I will have to until you are filed to the last page. So, I will talk about him. He's sweet and he cares for me. But, does he care for me in the way I care for him?

Sincerely,

Stevie Nightshade

He read the journal and all the while wondered who she talked about. He got angry. She was worth anything, good enough for anyone. Who could be this guy causing her so much pain? He'd kill them. He'd find them and kill them. He would jump for her in a heartbeat. Not that she knew that.

On and on he read. With each page, his anger and curiosity grew. A bell rang in his head when she mentioned a day in the snow. He saw her lying there all over again and wondered. But surely not? He read until the very last page. He read it over and over, his anger evaporating. His name? His name was the name she wrote? But… He'd never thought… His anger at himself flared. How could he have been so stupid? It had been staring him in the face and he had ignored it. He had been so distracted by Amelia and- His internal rant broke off. Amelia. He thought about the entry where Stevie had mentioned the day in the snow. It was Amelia. The monster in disguise was Amelia.

He cursed himself out loud. Stevie stirred and her eyes fluttered open.

"Inuyasha?" she asked groggily. He froze. And that's when her eyes fell on the open journal.

Stevie

I screamed. At least, I think it was me. I was too mortified to really make the connection. Inuyasha shushed me and I cried. I saw it. He had been on the last page. He knew. He knew.

"Shhhhhh," he whispered. "I'll make everything okay now."

"It will never be okay! You don't love me," I told him. In answer, he kissed me. I almost immediately kissed him back, my body reacting before my mind to what my heart had wanted for so long.

"Yes I do," he whispered against my lips.

"But, Amelia… And those other girls…"

"All because I wanted you. But you never seemed interested." I laughed. We had both spent so long wanting each other, never knowing if the reverse was true. He laughed too. But, then the thought crashed on me.

"Amelia."

"I told you, I only want you." I shook my head and told him the whole story of the day in the snow. His grip on me tightened. "She won't hurt you. I would never let her." I nodded, but I was still unsure of whether I believed him or not. We laid there in peaceful bliss, waiting for the world outside to intrude. He rolled over to kiss me again and I stopped him. I really didn't want to but I had to.

"We can't do this now. I refuse to be the other woman. I'm sorry." He nodded, understanding. So we just laid their, enjoying the company of each other. We talked like always, almost as if nothing had changed. But, everything had changed. That was about when Amelia opened my door and walked in, the wrath of the devil in her eyes.

And, cut. Suspense, yes? Very fun, very fun. I hope you enjoyed. I know it was short but I needed more content for the next chapter, which I cut from this one. Sorry. Anyways, hope you enjoyed. Glad to have this done, StevieRae2011, signing off!
