Chapter Ten

"I would make a bowling ball

float for you."

"That's impossible."

"I'd make it possible."

"Ikuto-kun…" I said, my eyes barely open, and the light shined in through my window, and it shined from behind Ikuto-kun, giving him a Godly look.

"Yes?" He asked, his voice sounding so gentle. He was watching me sleep.

"I love you…" I said, my eyes still barely open.

"I love you, too." He said.

"How much?" I asked, and my eyes opened the tiniest bit.

"I would make a bowling ball float for you." He said, and kissed me. A passionate kiss, not urgent, not forceful, but… calm. Peaceful.

"That's impossible." I said.

"I'd make it possible." He told me. I smiled.

"Amu." He said, sweetly. "Get up."

I did as I was told and rubbed my eyes, stretched, then yawned.

"You were watching me sleep." I said. "Why?"

"Because you're so beautiful. I couldn't help it."

I blushed. "I-Ikuto!" I said, and slapped his head--not hard, though.

He laughed. "What? It's a fact." His eyes softened, and filled with love.

He leaned down to my level, and kissed me.

My mom peaked her head in, and Ikuto-kun was in the closet already. He sensed she was coming. "Amu, you have a visitor." She said.

My visitor came in, and mom closed the door. "Hello, Amu-chan." He said.

"Tadase-kun…" I said. "Why're you here?"

"I can't visit my girlfriend?" He asked.

"Well… it's just…wait, WHAT?!" I yelled.

"You're mom told me… you wanted to be my girlfriend." He said.

"Oh…right…um, Tadase-kun… I don't know how to tell you this, but…"

"Oh, not that line again, Amu-chan! Last time you said that, I got my heart broken. Please don't." He said.

"But, you see, Tadase-kun, after those few weeks of being depressed, my mom came in and told me you were my boyfriend. But that's not what I wanted. Then, Ikuto-kun came in and… well, talked some sense into her." I explained.

"Amu-chan…" His face looked hurt.

"I'm sorry."

"Not again!"

"Tadase…" Ikuto-kun said, walking out of the closet. "Listen, I know you love Amu, too… but that's not what she wants. You do get what love is, don't you? It's letting the person you're in love with do what they want to do. Be with who they want to be with…" He went down and sat next to Tadase, and put his hand on his shoulder like they were brothers. "even if that person isn't you. Love is wanting them to be happy. To live a happy life. With the person she desires. And if it's not you, it's not meant to be, so, you'll find the person you'll truly, deeply love. The one you were destined to be with. You'll live happily some day, too, just like she will, going her own way. So cheer up, this isn't the end, or the beginning. But it's the end of the beginning."

I was feeling mixed emotions. Everything was calming down! But I felt bad for Tadase. And love was locked in there, not wanting or willing to move. It wouldn't. So it stayed in the center, while everything else was swirling around in there. Relief. Understanding. Thoughtfulness. Joy. Sadness. But thank goodness I was broke free of depression. Once in it's chains, I though I would always be stuck there, starving for love, comfort and happiness like a prisoner would starve for food, water, and warmth. But one thing I know would never, ever move from my brain, from my heart, from my soul.

Love.

~When Tadase left~

Ikuto-kun left for a while, leaving me to write in a journal I've barely written in. I wrote:

Ikuto-kun left for a while. Oh, well, while he's gone, I'll write in this. This whole big thing happened.

I fell in love with Ikuto after he saved me…after saving him. So I don't owe him anything. :p Anyway, I fell down lots of stairs, and he brought me home: "Amu, I don't want my heart to be broken… again." "Ikuto, then let me fix it… please."

So we got together, as a couple. I had to tell Tadase, but I didn't know how!: "How do I tell you this…Tadase-kun?" "Amu-chan? Tell me what?" I was silent.

Then, because of all the drama, Rima suggested we go to a dance club! It was fun, except I had some problems with Tadase… I wondered through the club, crying. But then Ikuto did a funny dance, and I felt better. And we danced together after that.: "Amu, may I have this dance?" "Ikuto… Yes. Yes you may." And we danced until sunset.

Then soon after that, I asked him if he liked me… or loved me. He told me he loved me. Then he asked me, and this is what happened: "Ikuto, do you not know?" "Know what, Amu?" "I love you more than everything in the whole world mixed together."

Then I had a dream Tadase-kun was my boyfriend. It was scary! Because Ikuto came in crying, and told my unbelieving face it was true. And I went over to Tadase and said yay. Yay! How could I?! But then Ikuto was there: Because Ikuto-kun was there, and everything was alright. Again. "Ikuto-kun."

We went to an animal shelter, without him knowing where we were going, and gave dogs baths! Guess what his response was?: "Out of every place you could have gone…" He said "You chose a place…with dogs." I laughed.

Then my mother ruined our happy day. We came home, and guess what? She tells us we have to break up! She didn't understand. Here's a little clip of what happened: "You're sorry? You're sorry?! You don't understand!" "Amu." Ikuto said, calmly, cooley. Even though he wantedto scream like that. He wanted to burst into tears.

Weeks passed. I was so depressed, I couldn't handle it! Then my mom, once again, made things worse. She told me she got me a boyfriend… Tadase! Ugh! But fortunately, Ikuto-kun came in and knocked sense into her! I love him: "Yes or no. Nothing more." "Yes." "Okay, does she look happy?" "…No."

Then today, Tadase came to visit me. He thought he was still my boyfriend. I tried to tell him, but couldn't, and luckily, Ikuto whipped out a lovely, beautiful speech. Tadase understood, and left. But before all that happened, when I woke up, Ikuto was sitting there, staring at me, watching me sleep. I asked him how much he loved me: "I'd make a bowling ball float for you." "That's impossible." "I'd make it possible."

~Amu Hinimori

Ikuto got back two minutes after I wrote it, which gave me time to read it.

"Amu." He said, and I turned. Something was in his hands.

I turned back to my book, wrote: P.S.: Today Ikuto bought me something. Something beautiful-

I turned back to him, sat in his lap, kissed him showing all my love for him, and listened to him.

"Red, romantic love. Pink, admiration, gentleness and perfect happiness. White, purity. Lavender, love at fist sight. Coral, desire. And blue, unattainable, and the impossible."

-Colored Roses.

I'M MAKING A SEQUEL, BABEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD!!

WUNNA PREVIEW?!?!??!? OKAY!!!!:

Chapter One

"I don't care what you think!

I'm going through with it."

"No, Amu, please...!"

My mom pleaded.

No one understands! Not my parents, not my friends, not even AMI! Don't they know how important this is for me?! I love him, and no one can change that! Well, I mean, there's only one person who understands and supports this, and that's Utau. She's so nice to me now; we're best friends.

And, yes, there will be bolds, italics, and underlines on the important part under the chapter one, like every other chapter, it's just that if I copy and paste this, everything will be gone... and I'm too lazy.

So, let me guess, you're thinking, "What?!? What don't they understand?! TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!" That's right. I know you. :3
