Last chapter!! finally!! hope you like this one!!

Anyway before I start, I would like to say sorry for the late update. I was really planning on posting this earlier but unfortunately my laptop got infected with virus. Reformatting it was the solution. Thus erasing all of the stories I have written. Chap 11 and my original ending for The Letter, Chap 2 for My Stepmother and chap 3 for Rain... kinda frustrating cause I haven't printed out a hard copy. So I have to remember everything once again. And having three different stories makes it really harder for me.. This will be short. This is the closest I can get in remembering what I had written before... so I hope you would be nice with the review, that is if you're planning on reviewing... with that said..

Let's start!!


Chapter 11

Michiru's POV

Two months had passed since the day I had let go of Haruka's arms and the last day felt the warm touch of her lips. What I have with her is worth it. It is worth every lonely night, every tear I cry from missing her, and the pain I feel from not having her close. It is worth it because she is my one and only. When I picture myself years from now, I see only her. No matter how painful distance can be, not having her in my life would be worse. That's why I keep waiting for her to come back. I'll wait no matter what cause I know she's the only one I want, I need, I wished for and I have ever loved. And nothing will ever changed that fact. Nothing...

But when you think about the past months, It's really ridiculous to fall in love with her this fast since we've just been exchanging letters. Then again, It's more incredible than the ordinary one. Cause in this way, you know that you have fallen for something that's beneath its surface. Not the face, Not what you can see, but what's deep within that person and that is what one should look into. I love her in that way and it's unbelievable; It's surreal; and It's remarkable. Nothing will ever comes as close as to her.

I walk inside the library and greeted the librarian. Everytime I finish my day job, I always go to the library and stay, in hopes of the possibility of her being here or the possibility that she might walk in. I always sit on the same chair I always have been sitting on and start reminiscing the past months that had occurred in this magical world called library. The time I picked the red book and read it. The time I decided to reply onto the letter I found. The moment I shared myself to someone I haven't met. The times I laugh because of her. The time she had gotten me the snow globe. The moment my heart experienced an indescribable feeling. I don't regret everything that happened and what I did. I know cause I'll do it over and over again. Everything. It felt like everything that happened in my life had occurred in this little place and it's all because of the red book.

The red book. I asked the librarian for that book since I haven't seen it when I looked for it in the novel area. She told me someone had already borrowed it. That book, holds something special in me. That book lead me to a place where I felt wanted, needed and loved. A place where there's someone at the other end waiting for me. The red book led me to her, my future, my forever. I gaze at the sky outside the window and felt some peace within me. Cause somewhere, somehow, I know that she's looking at the same sky and knowing that we're living under it. Even though she's far way, her love still remains; I can feel it around. It embraces me and holds me tight, night after night.

After a couple of hours the sun started to set down, I stood up and walk towards the door. I stopped and my eyes widened in surprise as I saw a familiar face walking towards me. I smiled at her and she smiled back at me.

"Michi" she greeted me as she gave me a hug.

"Mako." I said her name as I hug her in return. After a couple of seconds, she released me from the hug and looked directly into my eyes. The look in her eyes made me feel uneasy. She then led me to sit back on the chair for us to have a talk. I sat down on the chair and waited patiently for her to talk. The quiet surrounding didn't help at all. It made me more aware of the fast beating of my heart. If she's here, Haruka must have arrived! But why isn't she here? She stayed quiet and still on the chair as she only gave me a worried stare. I'm getting agitated by the situation every second pass. I closed my eyes and inhaled and exhaled deeply before opening my mouth.

"Where's Haruka?" I finally asked her. My heart only kept beating faster and faster. I saw her sigh and then spoke

"She's still in the hospital."

"Is she fine?"

"She's recovering from the operation."

"Will she be okay after? Can she return to her normal life?"

"The doctor said, she'll be that is if her body accepts the heart. Right now, she's able to stay alive because of the machines attached to her." her words slashed through me. My heart suddenly felt heavy. Pain growing inside of me that tears started to dwell up in my eyes

"But-" I cried before I even finished what I was trying to say. I felt her hand grabs mine and heard her spoke in a mild voice

"She'll live. She's trying her hardest to stay alive, Michiru. So please don't cry as if she's dying." again I was told not to cry. But how could I not when you know there's something wrong and it pains you so bad that crying is your only refuge. Haw can I be strong in times like this? How can anyone be? Even if you try, It won't stop cause you know that the only one who could stop this is the one who started all of this. I tried to stop but it only got worse. She then moved and sat beside me. I cried unto her as she only stroke my back in sign of comfort. We stayed an hour until the librarian approached us.

"We will be closing soon."

"Hai. We'll be leaving right away. Gomene for the troubles." I heard my friend replied back I stopped myself from crying and looked up at Mako. She smiled to me gently and spoke softly "Michi, we should go now. You're late for your night job." I nodded and looked at my wrist watch. I was late already for an hour.

"Yes, you're right. I'll be leaving now. Thanks for visiting me." I stood up and gave her a sincere smile. She smiled back and nodded in return. We then left the library together. I headed straight for the coffee shop and she in turn maybe headed for her apartment.

The walk to the coffee shop was long and cold. It was already February and I still feel cold. It wasn't supposed to be this cold in this month. Then I wonder if it's the surrounding or the feeling deep with in me. I miss her my heart keeps saying it aloud. I want to see her. I want to touch her. I want to feel her touch, warm this cold feeling of mine.I walk alone thinking over and over again about her. Wishing for her to be holding my hand, making me laugh and assuring me with her kiss.

I finally arrived the coffee shop and saw that the light were all closed. I walk closer and looked inside through the windows. It was dark making it harder for me to see what's inside. We're closed? I wonder why. Nobody said about having a day off today. And even if there is, why would it be on the hottest selling day of the week? Curiosity was killing me. I walked towards the door and tried to open it. And to my surprise it was unlocked. I walked inside slowly and looked around. I stopped as I felt myself stepping on something. I picked it up and it felt silky and soft. Then it started, tiny green lights started to show up. Fireflies.. The surrounding started to glow radiantly. My eyes widen in awe as everything around me began to unfold. White petals everywhere; on the floor, on the chairs; and so are white flowers. The same bell shaped flowers as before. I felt my heart beating faster and faster. I looked around trying to find any sign of her. None. But then on the counter table, I saw a rectangular shaped gift laying on top. I walked towards it and grabbed the gift. I tear the wrapper, unraveling what's inside. This is.. the thing I have been looking for was right here in my hands. I hugged the red book closer to me as tears again made its way down my cheeks. I looked down the book and saw a piece of paper in between the pages. I smiled as I picked the paper up.

"I'm Home...

H.T"

My eyes widen in surprise as I read those two words. How magical those words of her that my heart only felt warm again. I circled around in my position to look for her. I stopped facing the door. I saw her outside, smile on her face as her hands placed inside her pants' pockets. I felt my mouth forming a smile, wide enough for anybody to know what I'm feeling. It was like everything around us has stopped and disappeared, and only the both of had stayed. There was a feeling of exuberance when I finally saw her face. I dropped the book on the table and walked towards the door as my heart only kept warmer and warmer. I opened the door and stepped forward her. We're a feet apart, though it might be close , it's still is too far from me. I saw her open up her arms and I in turn only threw myself in her. It's warm, It's ecstasy; It's bliss; It's everything there is in her arms. She released me from the hug and leaned down to me. I moved forward and caught her lips. The nostalgic feeling have been erased once I felt her warm lips touched mine. The kiss was simple; subtle and it's priceless. Everything I need to know is in that kiss. I missed her.. I truly did... We stopped ourselves from kissing, and placed her forehead over mine. Teal eyes looking straight into my blue ones, she then spoke

"Tell me." she smiled at me. I closed my eyes indulging the sound of her voice, her heartbeat and the warmth of her breath. Her voice I missed, so hypnotizing; her warm breath, so tempting, so alluring; Her heartbeat I longed to feel. I opened my eyes and smiled.

"I love you Haruka Tenoh." I said in my utmost compassionate and loving voice. She then kissed me again; more passionate than before. I've been searching for that someone, to show me the way, to take my hand and tell me that everything will be fine; I've been searching for that someone, and now I know it's true, I've found that special someone, I've found that someone in her. This fits.. This is right.. This is love after all...


Love is the greatest feeling you will ever have, yet it is also one of the greatest sorrows. There is so much suffering, but then there are times when the crying, pain, and heartache is worth it. Those moments are perfect, they are right. Those moments make all the suffering worth while. It's those moments we should live for. So I say to you give love a chance to swallow you up. Don't just think it will happen in a instant, it will surprise you before you know it, but it will be the most rewarding experience you will ever have. Trust me, I know and I did...

Lastly know that there are many books in the library. Each book sure has a wonderful story that will never happen in reality. But as you fall in love, reality becomes a wonderful story better than any novel. It did. This is our story. The book of our lives. And in every chapter it just gets better and better...
