Naru sat at the corner of his bed. Dial tone after dial tone, he would call Mai's cell. 'Dam it, Mai. Pick up the phone!' Naru sighed in defeat as he let the phone drop from his hand and laid down on his bed. His jet black hair spread around his pale face.

~*~ MEANWHILE ~*~

Edward and Mai were on the swings in his backyard, and they were talking about love. I know it sounds weird, but that's how they were. They would sit and talk about stupid things until they had lost their voices. Well, anyhow, Edward asked Mai how she would feel if he left. She simply laughed. It was a nervous reaction. He had given her a look, one that said, 'I'm serious now' and Mai shuddered.

"I'm moving." Edward spoke seriously.

"W-W-Why? Where?" Mai demanded to know.

"Forks, Washington. My father, Carlisle, got a job as a doctor there." Edward replied.

"D-Don't you love me?" Mai whispered, looking done at her fingers.

"Mai, where just friends. Besides, I love someone else." he whispered back.

"Who?" Mai asked with a tear on her cheek.

"It wouldn't help to tell you. But if you must know, it's a girl named Isabella. Bella for short." Edward said, whipping the tear off her face.

"But, I only feel alive when your with me." Mai whispered looking up. But to her surprise, Edward was gone.

Mai sat in the café in which her and Edward visited daily. The only difference was that the seat across from her that normally held a good looking guy with a charming smile, was now empty.

"Excuse me. Are you Taniyama, Mai?" a waitress asked her.

"Yes?" Mai answered, which sounded more like a question.

"A young man came her a few hours ago and asked me to give this to a certain brunet with big brown eyes by the name of, Mai Taniyama." the waitress said handing Mai a neatly folded piece of paper.

"Thank You." Mai whispered, smiling weakly. The woman bowed and left with a smile.

As Mai slowly opened her hand that clutched the paper, she realized it was a note. She carefully unfolded it. Noticing Edward's neat handwriting. The note read:

Dear Mai,

I know you'll hate me for this, but I am leaving. Forever. Permanently. Don't look for me. I don't want you. To be honest, I never have. And since I'm being honest, I should tell you-

Remember when you told me that you only felt alive when you were with me? Well, if you think you're alive, your better off dead. Sorry, but it's the truth. You didn't want me to lie to you forever, did you? I sure as hell hope not. I will never speak to you again, and I hope you hate me now.

I don't love you,

Edward

Cullen

Sure it hurt Mai. But it wasn't because of him. For Edward was non-more than a simple distraction. Yeah, that's it, he only took her mind off of the black hole that had consumed her chest the moment that Naru had boarded his plane. For example, you know when you go get your ears pierced for the first time and you look towards the opposite side in which the woman with the stapler is in order to look at your best friend? Your chatter-box of a friend talks to you and takes your mind off the throbbing pain that you earlobe had endured, and before you know it, the lady informs you that you are know a woman with earnings. Without Edward, Mai's mind was left to wonder about. Remembering her dearly beloved Naru.

~*~ MEANWHILE ~*~

(A/N: When the letters are normal, that's taking place with Naru. When it's bold, it's with Mai. I don't mean to confuse you guys, I just think it'll be way too complicated to be writing '~*~ MEANWHILE ~*~' after every sentence. I hope you get it HAVE FUN! ^-^)

Naru once again stretched his hand out towards the phone. Dialing Mai's number.

As Mai slid into the driver's seat, she noticed her cell ringing like crazy. The vibrating was causing it to make it's way to the edge of the passenger's seat. As it was about to make contact with the floor, Mai caught it in the nick of time. Letting out a tiered and relieved sigh, Mai flipped her cell open.

"Moshi-Moshi." Mai spoke merrily.

"Mai!" Naru spoke anxiously.

"Naru?" Mai was surprised by the unexpected call.

"Mai, where are you?" Naru said through the phone.

"Oh, I'm right outside of the little café down in Shibuya street." Mai answered confused.

"Mai, don't move!" and with that, the dail tone became audioable. Mai sighed and slumped down inher seat.

(A/N: The confusing part ends here.)

Fifteen minutes later, something black was visible over the horizon. Naru came running to where Mai was sitting.

"N-Naru! What are you doing here?" Mai exclaimed.

"Mai, I-I-I love you." Naru spoke out of breath. Mai stuck her torso out the window and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"It's 'bout time your realized that, you idiot scientists." she whispered into his ear as she planted a passionate kiss upon his lips. And joy was restored to both teens.

THE END

(A/N: Well, that's all I was planning on writing. However, if I get enough reviews telling me to do a sequel, I won't turn your requests down. Though I must warn you, if I do continue, Naru might be a bit OOC. Not that much, maybe the occasional kiss in the office, anyways, PLEASE REVIEW MINNA-SAN!)
