Flashback

A ring started up as I set my clothes on the bed. Walking over to my desk I saw Miki's sketch book opened to dress drawings. Picking the book up and flipping through I picked up my cell phone, flipped it open, and rested it on my shoulder. Sitting on the bed a started going through the drawings, "Hello?"

"Ah Hinamori-san," it was Tadase-kun. I almost dropped the book, but instead my jaw dropped.

Amethyst Eyes

Amu's POV

No freakin way! I can't believe he called me, why did he call?

"Uhm Hinamori-san?" Tadase sighed.

Crap I wasn't listening, "Ah uh hi Tadase-kun. What's up?"

"I just wanted to make sure you were ok."

"Yeah I'm totally fine."

There was some silence on his end .. "Ikuto is back in town."

"Oh?" I decided to act stupid and not say anything.

"So you haven't seen him?"

Damn I can't believe I'm about to do this, "No, no I didn't even know he was in town .. "

"Oh, alright. Well it's my turn for the bath now. Goodnight." Why did he sound so relieved?

"Night." The phone went dead. I shut it and tossed it onto the floor. Setting the book down on my dresser I turned back to the bed and finally got dressed. Picking up my cell I dropped it into my new black clutch and walked out of the house. Locking the door I began to take a stroll down the street. Until I accidentally bumped into somebody.

"Ah!"

"I am so sorry," I looked at her face. Staring back at me was a pair of amethyst eyes. She looked like she wasn't from around here so I decided to ask, "Are you lost?"

She smiled, "Yes I am! Can you help me? My name is Miyagi by the way, Miyagi Aarin."

Aarin? "Nice to meet you, I'm Hinamori Amu. Where are you trying to get to?"

"My friend's house. I haven't seen him in soo long!"

"Who is your friend?" It can't be ..

"Hotori Tadase," she blushed a little.

"Oh." Damnit

"Do you know him?"

"Yes I do." He's my boyfriend.

"Yay! So you can take me to his house?"

"Sure." Why me?

"Oh thank you so much!" she smiled even bigger. I started to walk to Tadase's house with her following behind me. I turned and gave her a small smile to be nice. So this is who he is ditching me for. Well even I do have to admit she's cute. Her lavender curly hair and snow white skin. Of course he would rather take her.

"Tadase!" she ran up and threw her arms around him, "I've missed you so much."

He hugged her back and smiled, "I missed you too, and I was just about to come find you. I'm surprised you didn't get lost."

She let go of him, "Oh I did but I bumped into Amu-chan and she showed me the way." A big smile came to her face when she turned to me to show off her guide.

"Hinamori-san?" Tadase looked stunned.

"Goodbye Tadase-kun, goodbye Aarin-chan," I just walked away. I had too.

It hurt. But at least he wasn't following me. But I actually wished he did. Grr right now I just want to punch him in the face! Walking up the street I decided to take a turn and began to walk to my park. Our park. Ikuto's face flashed into my mind and I began to blush. If he was here he would probably be trying to make me laugh.

Right now what I need to do is think about my current relationship. Back there .. it seemed as if we aren't boyfriend/girlfriend. He looked so happy seeing Aarin-chan .. Ugh! I just plopped down onto the closest bench I could find and just hid my face in my hands.

End POV Start Utau's POV

"Amu?" Startled eyes darted to my face. Yup it was her alright.

She took a deep breath and let it out, "Hey Utau." It looked like she wanted to cry.

I put a comforting hand on her shoulder, "What's wrong?"

Shaking her head she searched my eyes wondering if she should tell. Then she opened her mouth, "It's a veery long story."

"It's ok I actually have time today." I patted her back as she began. Ahh boy problems .. As she went further into the story I started to understand why she looked so distressed. That boy could be so heartless and not even realize it.

As she finished I gave her a tissue from my purse, "It will be alright. It will be hard, but it will be alright. Time heals all wounds." Well that is major crap and I'm not helping at all.

"I know but I still don't know what to do." Amu looked defeated and blew her nose.

"Have you thought about breaking up with him?" she just nodded. "Well from what it sounds like it seems like you two aren't even together anymore."

She sighed, "I know. But I guess I can't just accept it right now that it pretty much is over."

I gave her another pat on the back, "Just give it time so you can accept it and take it from there."

Amu smiled, "Thanks for letting me vent, getting older can be so complicated when you add in boys."

That made me laugh, "You got that right but it makes it fun too."

Standing up she turned to me, "I have to go home but I'll see you later Utau."

"Bye bye," I waved as she began to run on home. It felt good to talk to Amu. Today I got to feel like a normal girl, but tomorrow it's back to work. Getting up to stretch I yawned and turned to go back to my apartment. Looking up at the sky the sun was starting to go down.

End POV

As the sun set on this busy town the night life is starting to stir up. And as Amu and Utau reach their homes the night life reaches full blast. The main thing going on was the buzz about a certain performance tonight by Tsukiyomi Ikuto.
