Aiden: yo peeps! Ikuto is still locked in a closet from the tenth chapter of my other story 'Humpty Dumpty' so I'll just get this over with. I. don't. own. Shugo. Chara.
Amu's point of view
Seconds
Minutes
Hours
Days
Weeks
Months
Years
Out of all these standard measurements of time no one could tell how long we were there like that. I was sitting in Ikuto's lap, his arms wrapped around me. I breathed in his scent, and let it fill my senses.
Love
I love
I love you
"I love you Amu"
Those words wouldn't leave my head. He said them so honestly. I've heard thousands of guys say them, but somehow when he said them they were different. I guess this is what true love feels like.
Trust
I trust you
I love you
"I love you too"
I replied with the words that burnt my tongue every time I said them. No matter what they would always come back to haunt me later in life. Never again. I love this one, this man, this boy, this entity, this heart that pounds against my ear. I love you Ikuto Tskuyomi. I always will.
We finally, though reluctantly, left the park and headed back to the dorm. When we got back we were in for a HUGE surprise.
I turned the door knob and pushed the door open, only to see Utau and Kukai on the couch lip locking, spit swapping, groping, and grunting.
"I'm sorry are we interrupting anything?" I asked sweetly, once Utau noticed us walk in and finally manage to push Kukai off of her.
"n-no" she stammered. I sighed and walked over to the kitchen and put down the food Ikuto and I bought at the super market on our way home. I found Kairi in there on the phone with his girlfriend. I motioned for him to hang up and join us in the living room.
"where's rima?" I asked walking back into the living room.
"upstairs with Nagi" Kairi said pointing to the stairs.
"should I knock?" I asked him, c'mon people I may not be innocent but I don't want to see that!
"you might want to" Ikuto said smirking. I sighed and walked over to the staircase.
"rima! Nagi! Get some clothes on and get your asses down here!" I yelled, then after about ten minutes we were all in the living room.
"okay" I sighed, "I need to tell you guys something" I said looking down at my knees. Ikuto put his hand on my back to give me courage to say what I wanted to say. I looked at him, then over to the others, then back at my knees. I sighed and put my hands on the back of my neck I un-tied my chocker to show my tattoo, everyone except Utau, rima, and Ikuto gasped.
"what is that?" nagi asked.
"Amu's tattoo, she got it a few years ago" Utau explained.
"um no Utau I didn't" I said looking down at the floor. She looked at me curiously. I sighed. God give me the courage to tell her. I sighed again.
"Utau, I haven't been completely honest with you." I said, this time looking her directly in the eye.
"wh-what do you mean?" she stammered. I sighed one again. I took her hands in mine.
I let it out
All of it
Her father, what he did to me, the lies, the truth, the pain, all of it. After I finished I looked at her eyes. Pain, fear, sorrow. She lunged herself at me and hugged me for dear life.
"I'M SORRY! I'M SO SORRY!" she cried into my shirt.
"shhhh Utau it's not your fault" I said trying to calm her down.
"YES IT IS! IT'S MY FAULT! ALL THOSE TIMES I DRAGGED YOU TO HIS GRAVE! ALL THE TIMES I WOULD PRAISE HIM INFRONT OF MY FRIENDS! IT'S MY FAULT!" I hugged her so tightly I thought she would break in two!
"Amu…" Ikuto said quietly, that's when I started to cry. Everyone joined in the hug, even Kairi! Once everyone was calmed down, nagi got up and made some tea for everyone. I took a sip from my cup and looked over at Utau, who was looking into her cup with sad eyes. I reached out and put my hand on her knee.
"hey you okay?" I asked. I was relived to see her look up at me with happy eyes, and a smile gracing her features.
"yeah I'm fine, I just didn't realize that my father could be that way." she said sadly. I put down my cup and hugged her again. Not a back breaking hug but a friendly sister hug. Everyone joined in for one last group hug. We all laughed when the weight of the group sent us down to the floor.
This is how I want it to be, surrounded by friends and relatives, the ones I love.
I guess life isn't as bad as I thought.
Aiden: sorry last chappie. I was going to just discontinue it but I didn't think that would be fair to readers, so I decided to end it here. I know it sucks but it's my first one! Thanks for reading!
