Recap
My eyes slowly open. I didn't understand. Who was that boy? And what did he mean by 'wake up from your deep slumber full of pain'? The world is pain. And I am awake. I just can't wake up from this nightmare. It haunts me.
End of Recap
Utau POV
Great, all of us screwed up and now we can't help. Wonderful...Note sarcasm. Maybe I'll just pair up with Rima then, since the boys basically have about the IQ of a peanut and can't watch their mouths.
"Hey Utau?" Rima's petite voice asked.
"Yea?"
"Do you want to ditch the boys and go to Midori's?"
I smirked.
"You read my mind, didn't you?"
"Eh, guess all girls have the same thoughts then..." Was Rima's reply.
I nodded and we grabbed our bags.
Let's just hope we can watch our mouths and at least HELP this time... I thought to myself.
Nagihiko and Kukai POV
What have I done? And now we can't help at all...
Rima and Utau POV
Hehe, sucks for you...
Midori POV
The phone rang.
"Hello?" My words slurred a bit from the lack of sleep.
I yawned loudly as I stretched. My arms stopped in mid-air as I heard the response.
"We're coming over, 'kay?" Utau's cheerful voice said.
"B-but-" My sentence got cut off when Utau hung up.
I groaned. Let's just hope they can do some good this time...
Normal POV
Utau and Rima arrived at the Midori's house. Both were praying that they could help. Midori's tired and concerned face appeared at the doorway.
"Hey Utau and Rima. Amu won't come out and she stopped eating and Ikuto...well Ikuto just doesn't want to see you. He heard our conversation and he locked his door and won't come out. I had to leave his breakfast at his door today." Was her response.
"What? Amu stopped eating?" The girls said in unison.
Midori nodded sadly.
"And at night she would scream and say stuff like 'Who are you?' and 'Where am I'? And I'm just not sure if she could handle you guys coming over. Besides, both of them are locked in their rooms and won't budge."
Rima and Utau's shoulders sagged.
"Can we just try?" They asked hopefully.
Midori nodded, still unsure about it, and let them in. The girls bounded up the stairs. They knocked on Amu's door.
But meanwhile in Ikuto's room...
Can't believe they have the nerve to come back. The blue-haired teen hissed, clenching his fists.
Okay, calm down. It wasn't their fault. Well not entirely, anyways. Give them a chance. Ikuto's reasonable side said. He sat, cross-legged on the floor with his bed supporting his back, and he looked at the clear morning sky. He sighed.
Get better Amu. Believe in who you are.
Amu POV
I walked calmly through the forest, unlike last time, and sat down in a clearing. The dim moonlight shone through the leaves and lit the littered forest floor. I waited. Waited for the mysterious boy who my heart had opened to. The one who understood me. My pain and fear. The leaves rustled behind me.
"I see you've waited." A silky voice spoke out.
"Of course..." I whispered with a small smile on my face.
Arms wrapped around my waist and I stiffened at the touch but relaxed when I turned and saw that it was only the blue-haired boy.
"You know, you need to eat to survive." His comment surprised me.
"How did you know? Besides, life is cruel. I rather never wake up and just stay with you." I confirmed confidently.
"I'm in your life already. Your fear just blinds you so you can't see me. If you don't wake up soon, I will disappear too. You just can't win unless you find the strength to break through your fears. You cower at the face of fear and you just pity yourself. I cannot help you anymore." He spoke his last words and he melted into the surroundings.
I tried reaching out to him but just doubled over, sobbing.
"Why can't I just be happy? Just once..." I searched blindly.
The pain returned to me as the mysterious boy faded. I gasped at the sudden jab. The night that I was raped came back to me.
'Hey hon'
'Calm down you stupid bitch'
'Cover her damn mouth, you slow bastards'
The sickly voices swarmed around me. I tried covering my ears but they just kept getting louder and louder. Buzzing in my head and ears. I felt invisible hands muffled my mouth as I screamed for help and they touched me. This was just like that night. Red, glinting eyes peered at me and voices laughed, taunting me. I feel to my knees, clutching my sides as I slapped the non-existing hands away.
"Get away! Just get away!"
'She's mine'
One voice rang out, full of venom and hatred. That familiar voice. But who was it?
Loud bangs boomed in my ears. I screamed as my eardrums popped. (Utau and Rima's knocking!)
"Go away! I don't want you here!" I screamed.
Bullets pierced my skin, spilling my scarlet blood on the floor. I felt a blow on my right cheek and I tasted the iron of my own blood. The world began spinning and I saw a faint light. I seemed to whisper to me.
'Come in here, it's better than real life'
'You'll find your dreams in here'
'This is the light you've been searching for'
I shook my head and the light grew.
This wasn't the light. It just didn't seem right. Life wasn't that perfect.
"No!" I screamed at the opening brightness. It began to fade. Two voices harmonized together.
'It's not your time, sweety. We love you and we will wait until it is truly your time.'
Mom? Dad?
I sat up in sweats. My right cheek was aching and I realized that I had fell off the bed. I rubbed it. I was confused and hurt. And not only from falling off of my bed. I felt...violated. Remembering my dream, I shivered and my body felt sticky. My heart sank like an anchor when I remember the mysterious boy. He had left and he was the only one who made my heart mend and jump. I pulled myself off the floor and stood shakily. My knees gave out and I fell again, hitting my temple on the table corner. I immediately fainted. (If you didn't know, if you hit your temple, you can faint and if you hit it hard enough, you can even die.)
Ikuto POV
My ears pricked up as I heard a bit thump coming from Amu's room. Utau and Rima had left a few minutes ago. I could just tell that they were really depressed. I peeked out of my room. I brought a paperclip and picked at Amu's lock. It clicked open and I cautiously walked in. My eyes widened. Amu's frail body was lying at beside her bed and her head was bleeding. I looked up a bit and saw that the table corner also had a bit of blood on it. I seemed that she had fell and hit her head on the table and fainted. Not died, thank goodness, because her chest was slightly rising and falling. I rush over to her and set her on her bed. I ran into her bathroom to get a towel and I wet it. I pressed it to her head and the bleeding stopped. I added an extra pillow to support her head and pulled the covers over her.
I don't know what came over me but I brushed my lips on her forehead and whispered, "Wake up Amu, wake up from your pains and fears."
I left quietly and slipped into my room.
"Just wake up, Amu." Were my last words before I fell asleep.
Cali: Sigh...
Amu: Does it get better? Cause everything is just plain depressing right now...
Cali: Yea, maybe in like the 12th chapter...
Ikuto: Good...
Cali: Haha, by the way, this is kinda cheesy but you guys get married in the end.
Amu: WHAT? You just spoiled the ending...
Ikuto: Who cares? No one reads this anyways...
Cali: *depressed* Your right...
Amu: That's not true! You have 25 reviews!
Cali: *scoff* Yea, 25...
Amu: People! Review to make Cali happy!
