Here's chapter 11, I meant to update yesterday- but I ended up drawing Chase a million times instead… So anyways- I had no idea what to write anyways, but now I guess I have a pretty good idea of what to write next.

Akari POV

I screamed like a little girl- literally. Everyone in the room held their ears trying to block out my high-pitched yelp. I was so embarrassed! It was bad enough I liked Chase- but now everyone in Town knew- What if- What if- Chase heard!? Grr! Maya! I held my hands over my head as I ran for the door, Gill was racing after me. Calin and Luke both got up from their seats to join the chase, but Owen was faster- he jumped up and down then ran and tackled Gill.

"Ouch!" Luke Called, "That looked like it hurt Gill." Gill struggled to sit up once Owen had gotten off of him, "That's because it did, idiot." Luke gave a hurt expression when Gill had insulted him. "You were supposed to stop Akari, Owen." On no, they finally remembered I was here, I silently slipped out the door before they could even try to come catch me. I swore I heard Luna giggle at me as I ran past her. "Good luck." She called after me, then continued to giggle.

I could soon hear Gill and the others shouting from behind me, and I rounded to corner and sped up towards the Inn were I suspected Maya to still be. I was reaching for the handle, it was so cold. I realized Chase would be inside the Inn right now too, I sighed. I knew I could never face him again after Maya's big announcement. I turned away from the door and sped up the path to Caramel River District and into my house. Like I had done so many times, I hopped onto my bed sadly.

The tears were falling again, all too often I wished they'd stop.

I knew I loved Chase- But Maya did too. I am just a poor farmer who has no family and all my friends are foolish very often. Maya was bright, she always shined. She was always positive, and the people around her could always laugh easily. She was strong- she doesn't cry the way I do. When she realized she liked Chase- she took action. I didn't. I was a coward, and I cried- in fact- I'm still crying. For all these reasons- she deserves her love much more then I do.

I give up.

I wouldn't get between them.

In fact, I won't talk to either of them.

Ever again.

They deserve each other.

I was never good enough for someone as wonderful as Chase anyways.

I'll kiss my feelings goodbye.

I don't want them anymore.

Then I can forget him.

And then I won't always have him on my mind.

Then I'll never fall in love with anyone again.

Because that way, I won't be hurt anymore.

Goodbye love. Goodbye happiness. Goodbye Sadness. Goodbye Anger. Goodbye stress.

From now on, Nothing can touch me.

"Goodbye Chase."

My doorbell ran, I expected it to be the guys wanting me to return to the clinic. I ignored it and laid in bed wanting this stupid day to be other, no, more then over. I wish I could re-do it. Then I could get it right. But at the same time, I really didn't want to end up hurt. I thought no emotion, but my heart still hurt. And I couldn't bury my feelings for Chase.

It was hours before I finally drifted off to sleep. My dream turned into yet another nightmare, Maya and Chase kissing. Forever- it felt like eternity before the scene changed. Chase and I- Outside. Kissing again. I couldn't get him out of my head, I needed to with him again. Even when my parents had died, never once had I once felt so lonely. Maybe it was pain from both- Losing my Parents, and Giving up on the first person I'd truly been able to love since then. I'd lost my beauty. It was all gone. I had none left.

What could I do now? Absolutely nothing, the game was over, I lost. There was nothing I could do about it. I had to face the facts- The world was an ugly place. People were nasty. And- I was the ugliest of all.

I have no idea if this has been clichéd or not- so either way don't get made at me. I'm just adding spice, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE drama! I wonder who will come to Akari's rescue? Plus- the whole time I was writing this- I was listening to "Need You Now" by Lady Antebellum. I guess that might have influenced a lot of my choices…

Stupid me- I know I should never write under the influence of the MUSIC! *Bangs head on her bedroom wall* If you liked it please tell me. If you hated it, or thought it was clichéd feel free to leave a flame.
