I don't own the song Once Upon A December. I wish I did but I sadly don't. Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 6

Since the people at work feel sorry for me, they gave me a longer break each day. I would complain but it gives me time to read Shin's journal. Each day I have enough time to eat and read on entry. It seems that, at the end of each entry, he wrote down lyrics to a song he was writing.

I was so happy when Ikki and I were able to just hang out with each other on our anniversary. The day was perfect even with it being simple. I invited Ikki to spend the night too. I didn't want the day to end, so cuddling before while falling asleep is my idea of a nice way to end the day. So when we were decided to go to sleep, he held me close to him. Even when both of us were asleep, I could tell he was still holding me from the warmth I felt.

"I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me. I still feel your touch in my dreams."

I hate cram school right now. It's been four days since I've last seen Ikki because I've been swamped with studying. Four days may not be a long time, but I'm used to seeing him every day because of work. Between my studies and missing Ikki, I don't know what to do. Ugh! This is so frustrating! It doesn't help that the material I've been studying is way harder than normal.

"Forgive me my weakness but I don't know why, without you it's hard to survive."

Ikki and I decided to have a movie night today. We both brought random movies the other has never seen and just watched them. We got through three movies before we fell asleep in each other's arms. I swear every moment together is perfect.

"'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling. And every time we kiss I swear I can fly."

I was terrified to be completely truthful. I may have pretended to be unfazed by their threats but on the inside I was shaking. I am grateful that Ikki stepped in when he did. Ikki's fanclub decided to corner me when I was on my way home from cram school. They started threatening me, saying I had to break up with Ikki or else. I stood my ground for as long as I could, but I was losing my mask. I almost snapped and ran, but then Ikki showed up and saved me. He yelled at them and told them to leave us alone. In all honesty, he seemed drunk when he did this. It's the only thing I could think of since he tries to keep calm normally. Well anyway… thanks Ikki.

Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last. Need you by my side.

The next page was different than the ones before it. It was just a page of the lyrics he was writing.

The lyrics continued onto the next page.

It's the day before the trip with work and I can't wait! That was major sarcasm. In all honesty, I don't want to go. I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen to either Ikki or me, but I promised Ikki that I would go.

I stopped reading after I read that. 'He knew something bad was going to happen… I'm so sorry Shin! I shouldn't have made you go.' I thought sadly. I need to finish this entry, so I continued.

Anyway, I'm almost done packing for tomorrow. Hopefully, I am wrong about anything going wrong during this trip. If something does happen and you're reading this Ikki, than I love you and whatever happens that won't change.

I closed the book and sighed softly. As I was putting Shin's journal away, Kento walked into the break room.

"Hello Ikkyu. What's wrong?" Kento asked.

"It's nothing Kento. I'm going to get back to work." I replied, quickly leaving the room.
