Yup, time for more of this. I'm seriously thinking that I can finish this before I even get on to post it... Let's just hope I'm more than just hot air.

26. Tears

It was undeniably ironic. I was the one who had lived through her death and I was one the one who had been sucked into this dark, unholy abyss by her insane, deceased girlfriend, who had been hunted down by ghosts and had seen people die horrible deaths at the hands of these ghosts. I was the one with the hands constricting around my throat, suffocating me in the most painful way possible even as I tried to croak out the apologies that I had been wanting to give her since the day of her death- I'm sorry I left my phone at home. I'm sorry I decided that it would be fine for a few hours even after I noticed I didn't have it. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me. I'm sorry that I wasn't enough to make you want to stay alive-

And despite all of that, she was the one who was crying.

27. Foreign

The world was completely foreign to me. When that man- Makoto- When he explained to me that this world, at least some parts of it, were created by Reiko and the people she had dragged into it, I was shocked. Despite her death, I would have never suspected that the bright, cheerful girl that I loved so much could conjure up a place that was so... Dark, so completely out of place with almost everything that I had thought that I knew about her...

28. Sorrow

I could have stopped it. I should have stopped it. If I just hadn't left my stupid phone at school, hadn't decided that a few hours without it couldn't have hurt anyone, she might still be here. No, she would still be here. I made her promise me that she would never do anything like that, and her response was... She agreed that she would never do something like that, but only as long as I promised that I would always be there for her. I broke my promise, and she, in turn, felt no need to keep her's.

29. Happiness

"Aww you two are so cute together." Kyoko cooed, not for the first time in the several months that we had been together. It still made me blush and bury my face into Reiko's shoulder though.

"I have to admit, I'm honestly a little bit jealous. I mean, you're just teenagers, but you're both so mature and you've already found someone that's just perfect for you. I only wish that I could be find someone that would make me as happy as the two of you make eachother." And honestly, I hoped that she would find someone that could make her this happy, because I don't think that there's anyone in the world who is happier than I am right now.

30. Under The Rain

"Reiko, are you sure that we should be doing this?" I asked worriedly as the pale girl pulled me outside. While the firm grip she had on my wrist made me happy, since she was clearly getting stronger, I was more than a little bit uneasy with what we were about to do.

"Oh, come on, it'll be fun. It's just a little rain and it's really warm outside and I'll change as soon as we get back it, so it'll be okay, I promise." Before I could even reply, we were outside in the warm summer shower, crossing the street quickly.

"Okay, but if you get sick... I'm not going to be happy." I couldn't think of a better threat. Sue me.

"Whatever you say, love, whatever you say." The dark haired girl replied absently as she looked up towards the stars, the light reflecting off of the water drops sliding down her face as if to reflect the serenity of the heavens onto her features.

The ending of the last felt really stiff to me... But oh well. Hope you enjoyed, my lovelies, and as always, feedback is appreciated but never required. Goodbye for now, my lovelies!
