To all of the people who still read this story: I'm so sorry! I physically started to hate this story every time I would go back to post a new chapter. It's so suuuuuuuucky compared to what I write now! So this is going to be the last chapter. Sorry ^^ but you won't expect the ending! By the way, I'm so sorry It's emotional. I've been going through some hard stuff right now and I really know how Amu feels at this point, so that's one of the reasons why this fanfiction is so emotional. Sorry if your fed up with the feels!
but after I finish this chapter, I'm gonna post the other stories I've worked on but haven't had any motivation to post. So now...onto the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Shugo Chara! For the life of me. Wish I did though!
"Amu...Who was he?" After what happened, Ikuto took me back to my place. I knew many questions had to be swimming through his mind as he fully processed what had happened. But the thing was...I had no clue how to explain it to him. The words were in my head, but I couldn't figure out a way to actually speak them.
I looked down at my lap and stayed silent. Maybe he would understand that I didn't know how to explain it...?
"Amu." He grabbed my hand and squeezed it hard. "I need to know. So I can protect you." He sighed.
"Ikuto...I just...he...I don't know how to explain this." I clenched my fists in my skirt and squeezed my eyes shut, causing tears to roll down my cheek and create little dots of wetness on my legs.
"It's fine Amu, I just..." He sighed and pulled me onto his lap, "I'm just worried." At those words the sobs I had been holding back broke through and I sobbed into Ikuto's chest. I realize that I would never see my parents or my sister ever again, I would never hear their voices, and worst of all, I was going to be alone. I wouldn't have a father to walk me down the isle when I got married, I wouldn't have a mom to help me through girl stuff, I wouldnt have a sister to give advice to when she got her first boyfriend, and worst of all, I wouldn't have a family to see everyday when I came home. I gripped harder onto Ikuto's jacket as my sobs continued on more painful each minute they lasted. He petted my hair and whispered confort words to me, but none of it got through and eventually I fell asleep from not being able to cry any longer.
*POV switch*
He watched her tiny body move up and down with every breath she took. Her cheeks were streaked with dried tears and her eyes were puffy, but he still thought she was absolutely beautiful. He wished he could just take away all of her pain and never let her cry again, but he knew that wouldn't happen. It would never happen. he was just glad that she could forget about the pains of the day in her sleep, even though it wouldnt last...
Amu started to become restless. Her face scrunched up into a pained expression and she started to whimper. Ikuto tried to wake her up, but she responded by getting louder and louder until she was pushing against his and screaming for her family.
"MOMMA! PAPA! AMI! DON'T...!" Her eyes flew open and the tears came back. A choked sob was released from her through, and in less than a second she had attached herself onto Ikuto's jacket once again. "Ikuto... *sniff* a-are...they really gone...?" She looked back up at him and he saw that her eyes were already red. He hated the fact that he had to nod and say yes. He hated that the answer would cause her to cry even harder. But even more than all of that, he hated Kai for all the shit he had done to her.
"I'm sorry, but-"
"MAMA! PAPA!" A little girl, around the age of three ran in front of the camera and up to the couch where Amu and Ikuto sat. Climbing onto it, she hugged the pinkette. "Momma, Why are you crying?" She sniffled and looked at Amu's face.
"God...Who let her on the set? the director face palmed and looked around the set. Everyone he looked at just shrugged or mumbled something along the lines of "I dunno."
"I'm SO sorry! She wanted to see you guys so we drove down and she just sort of...ran in..." A girl with shoulder length light brown hair and honey colored eyes ran in and awkwardly walked up to the couch. She looked like she was about 15 or 16, and she wore a black shirt with frills near the top with a white long sleeved shirt underneath with a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and black sneakers. She had a pair of white headphones hanging around her neck but no music came out of it.
"Geez Ami! We trust you to watch her and this is what happens?" Amu frowned at her as the little girl attached herself to her neck. She started to babble on about her day and how much fun she and her auntie had when Ikuto broke out into laughter.
"Hay! What's so funny?!" Amu glared daggers at him as she reached into her pocked and slipped a ring onto her ring finger. He didn't answer but instead pulled the two into a hug.
"It's nothing, just the fact that our kid just has perfect timing." He smirk and kissed Amu on the nose.
"Ewwww. Do that in private you two! I saw enough of that whenever I would accidentally walk in on you two when I was smaller." Ami scrunched up her nose and covered her eyes. Ikuto just laughed even harder at this point and Amu started to yell at him. Their daughter just watched and giggled everytime her mommy would call daddy a 'dumb head'.
"Maybe its time for a break." Ikuto chuckled and plucked up his daughter. "Isn't that right Yuiko?" He coo'ed to her. She nodded and smiled widely. thought so. Let's take lunch then?" He looked over at his wife and she nodded, getting up. he followed her lead and they left the building.
But just as they left, you could quickly get a glimpse of a poster with all of them on it that read "Happily Never After: The two that could never be."
