Recap:
"Aw, Rima..." I hugged her and she hugged back "Yeah?"
"That story was sweet and all but your time is up" I giggled
She pulled away and shot up "Sorry about that. I'll talk to you later"
"Bye!" I waved

Amu's POV:
I layed back down on the bed daydreaming about how life would be if I never met my friends, how miserable my life would be, how hard things would be, and... how lucky I am to have them
My eyes started fluttering down and I just wanted to take a short nap when the door squeaked. I looked up, the door was closed but Kairi was standing next to the bed staring at me. I laughed
"What's so funny?" He asked, confused
"Do you normally smirk while you stare at girls in their sleep?" I only opened one eye
He blushed and shook his head "I-I wasn't smirking"
"But you admit you were staring?" I giggled
He calmed down a bit "No"
I hugged him "You're still a good friend though" opening my other eye and smile at him
"Okay, so.. how are you doing?" He asked me as he sat down on the bed next to me. I sat up and sat RIGHT next to him
"I'm fine now, I calmed down a bit thanks to Nagi. How are you?" I ask him, he shrugged "I'm doing better than you are... you're crying"
I wiped the tears off my face "Correction, I was crying"
He smiled at me "Same difference"
I giggled "You're different than before, what changed?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" He asked me, staring into my eyes (A/N: it may seem like he has a crush on her right now but he has a crush on Yaya, their will be slight Yairi, Rimahiko and Amuto. And a lot of Kukamu)
"You're acting different than when we first met" I stare back into his eyes
"Well, I've grown" He crossed his arms acting childish
"Wow... it's only been a year and Yaya already rubbed off on you" I rolled my eyes
He anxiously checked his watch "Oh, um, my time's up, gotta go!" He hugged me and ran out the door closing it behind him
I laughed to myself "Wow..."
The next person came right away, I didn't have to wait. She opened the door softly "It's Nadehshiko, may I come in?"
"Yeah"
I smile at her, she comes in and sits down next to me "Are you doing okay?"
"Yeah"
She giggled "You're the same ol' Amu-chan, aren't you?"
"Yeah"
"Were you crying?"
"Yeah"
"You do know we're all here for you, don't you?"
"Yeah"
"Is that all you can say now?"
"Yeah"
She laughed and I laughed aswell "You're a great friend"
"You are too" She hugged me and I hugged her back
"If I tell you what happened to my dad, do you promise not to tell anybody?" I whispered
She thought for a minute then said, "I don't believe in keeping secrets"
"Not even if it's for a friend?" I gave her my puppy dog eyes
She shook her head "If you want to keep secrets and lie to your friends, you have to prepare for the consequences"
I sighed "I know"
"But if it means that much to you, I will keep the secret" She finally gave in
My face lit up "Really?"
"Yes" She nodded
"My dad..." I took a deep breath "Was freaking out when my sister got hit by a car. He was running around in the road screaming, my mom tried to warn him that a car was coming. He didn't listen and the car eventually came. So he, too, was ran over by a car. But this car... was a truck, he didn't... he didn't make it" I started crying again
"I understand" A tear rolled down her cheek "I can't tell anybody. I made a promise, nobody will know unless you tell them"
I hugged her and she, too, checked her watch "It's time for me to go. I will see you later"
"You too" I thought for a moment "Why does everybody have watches?"
She shrugged "I don't have a clue" then she left closing the door softly behind her
I sighed and layed back looking at the ceiling. I hit the nice, cozy sheets on the bed and was so tempted to fall asleep when the door opened. I sat up. It was Tadase. He closed the door as he came in and stood next to me gesuring for me to stand up. I stood up and he hugged me "Are you feeling okay?"
"Yeah, I'm feeling fine. You guys are really helpful. I don't know what'd I do without you" I hugged him back
He rubbed my back "Do you still feel like crying?"
"I'm pretty drained of tears, I did most of my crying when Nagihiko was in here" I giggled
He chuckled "Well, just know, I'm always here for you if you need someone to talk to"
I smiled to myself "I know"
"You're one of the best things that's ever happened to me. You're one of my best friends... Hinamori-san, we'll always be friends. I promise. I'll always be here for you if you need a helping hand" He tightens his hold on my hugging me tighter... I could barely breathe but I didn't want him to know that
I continued trying to breathe normally by taking deep breaths "I know... I know I can always count on you"
"I just want you to know that I promise to always be here, I'm not going anywhere, you'll always be around and so will I" He continues to tighten his grip
The door flung open "Your time is up" is was Kukai and he went downstairs. Tadase kissed me on the cheek and followed him closing the door tightly
I felt my cheek where he just kissed and I slightly blushed. I sat back down on the bed as the door flung open again. It was Ikuto. He pulled me up off the bed and hugged me tighter than Tadase ever did. I really couldn't breathe "I-Ikuto... I can't b-breathe"
He let go "Sorry" I gasped for air and panting "It's alright"
It was silence for about a minute and then he hugged me again but lightly "Are you okay?"
"Y-" I cut myself off and thought for a moment
"Amu... it's a yes or no question" He stated
"No" I plainly put it as tears started rolling down my face and landing on his shoulder but he didn't seem to mind. I tightened my grip on him "Ikuto..." I whisper
"Yeah?" He hugged me a little tighter aswell
I took a deep breath "Will you always be there for me if I need a shoulder to cry on?"
I could tell he was smirking but then it disappeared, he thought for a moment and answer, "Yes, as long as you are still around, so am I"
"Th-Thanks" I sniff trying to blink back my tears
We hugged for about 2 minutes not saying a word and then pulled apart. He put his hands on my shoulder and slightly nodded "You'll always be around, I won't let anything bad happen to you" but then he quickly grabbed my wrist and lifted up the sleeve "Why would you do this to yourself?"
I pulled myself out of his grasp "Why? What's it to you?" I snapped "It doesn't concern you! It doesn't concern any of you! I just wanted to have a nice life with my family and friends! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR!?"
He stared at me, shocked, "No, Amu, I didn't-"No! Save it! Get out!" I growl
"Amu, I didn't-"Get out!" I point to the door as silent tears rolled down my face
He shuffled his feet to the door. "Wait" I said quietly, he heard and turned around "Yes?"
"Are you the last one?" I ask him, he nods "You already talked to Kukai down there"
"Good, tell him I'll be down in a minute" I sigh as my bangs shadowed my eyes
"Amu... wait, are you gonna let me explain or not?" He asked, impatiently
I wiped the tears off my face with the back of my hand "No" I answer plainly
"Amu! I didn't mean-"NO! GET OUT!" I point to the door again as I looked down at my feet and gritted my teeth "NOW!"
He opens the door "Bye" He whispers and walks out
"What's with him!?" I walk over to the door and open it. I shuffle my feet outside the door and shut the door behind me

Kukai's POV:
Everybody here looked so worried, we were all waiting for Ikuto to come down. He finally did and Utau rushed over to him "What did she say!? She wouldn't tell me anything!"
"Well, I asked her why she did it and she over reacted. She asked me why I wanted to know, what's it to me, and it's none of my concern. I tried to explain what I meant by it but she sent me out, she didn't really tell me why though. The last thing she asked me is if I was the last one to go up. By the way, Kukai, she said she'd be down in a minute" He explained
All the girls started jumping, I sighed "Don't crowd around her when she comes down, girls. She is probably gonna walk over to one of you and want to talk, so let her choose"
All the girls nodded except Yaya who just crossed her arms and huffed. Rima sent her a death glare then Yaya gulped and nodded "A-Alright"
We all heard the door open upstairs and close. We heard shuffling of feet come down the stairs. We were all staring at her and she was staring back, she finally got down and looked around the room. Her eyes stopped on Nagihiko. She walked over to him and immediately hugged him "Thank you"
Nagihiko was surprised but rubbed her back "You're welcome"
Everybody looked confused except Nagihiko and Amu. Even I probably looked shocked. All the girls shot me glances and I just nodded in return, they all nodded. Saaya came back downstairs and walked over to me "So... what's going on here?" she stood right next to me holding onto my arm
"Amu's crying because of something with her dad, nobody knows what though" I explained pulling myself out of her grasp and moving over. She walked back next to me "Oh? In that case..." she thought for a moment
'What're you planning, you little she-devil?' I thought as I stared at her
She caught me staring at her and she smirked "I know you want me"
I didn't even blush, I stared at her continuously "Why would I?"
She looked hurt but then she cleared her throat "Amu... can I speak with you for a second?"
x-x-x-x
I know it's short but bare with me, school is hard and it makes me wanna puke... literally. I really hate it and I just wanna be in my bed all day on the computer! Breakfast in bed, lunch in bed, and dinner in bed... never gettin' up is my dream life
Amu: Wow, some dream life ya got there
Laura: I know! Isn't it wonderful!?
Rima: Define wonderful
Utau: If by 'wonderful' you mean completely weird and strange then yes, it's wonderful
Laura: *laughs nervously* can someone tame Rima?
Amu: We've tried, believe me... if you even try then she'll bite
Utau: Yes, she bites
Rima: *growl*
Laura: Oh yeah? Well I bet her bark is bigger than her bite
Amu: Think again
Rima: *growl*
Laura: *gets dragged away by Rima*
Utau: *sweatdrop* Laura doesn't own Shugo Chara!
