Hello everyone! How are you? Sorry this chapter is super late as well, _ To much stuff going on haha…

Well, nothing else to say but I hope you enjoy the chapter as much as you can :)

**Flash back**

As soon as we turned around, they to walked around the corner and I stopped in my tracks. Ikuto looked at me to see why I stopped. Then Tadase looked up from talking with his girlfriend and his eyes found mine and he stopped, as well.

"Amu?" he asked, and I just stared at him with wide eyes. Ikuto looked up and saw him, too. I sighed internally, only one word came to my mind in that moment.

Crap.

**End of flash back**

Because I…?

It felt like time came to a complete stop in that moment, like my brain couldn't process that this was all happening. I just couldn't grasp that we could all be here at the same time. This had to be a dream, it was the only explanation. Soon I would wake up and I would go on the real date with Ikuto where there would be no Tadase and nothing like this would happen, but the longer the silence dragged on, the more I came to realize that this couldn't be a dream, and I couldn't just wake up to get out of it. As I accepted this, time seemed to start back up again, and Tadase spoke.

"What… What are you doing here?" he asked. I swallowed, still trying to absorb the situation.

"I-I should be asking you the same thing," I replied weakly. He gave me an odd stare, like it was obvious.

"I'm on a date," he told me, glancing at the girl he was with. "But why are you-" he started speaking, but abruptly stopped and I saw that he was looking down at my hand, which was interlocked with Ikuto's. Then he suddenly let out a short burst of laughter.

"Don't tell me you two are together now?" he asked, acting like it was so hysterical that we were.

"Why would that matter to you?" I asked, aggravated that he was acting like we were a big joke. He smiled at me, obviously amused.

"Well, the second those divorce papers were signed, you just hooked up with the nearest person possible, didn't you?" he taunted me, and I snapped at him.

"Th-that's not true!"

"At least she waited until they were signed," Ikuto quickly said after me, but Tadase just rolled his eyes.

(A/N: They got divorced, I just didn't include it because it would have been a boring chapter and I couldn't incorporate it into the storyline).

"You two are still talking about that?" he sneered. "Come on, the past is the past, and you should just get over it," he said, waving his hand at me. I scoffed at him in disbelief.

"You are telling me to get over it?" I asked, shocked. "Who was the one that came crawling to my door, begging me to take you back?" I demanded.

"I don't know what you are talking about," he replied, but I knew he was just playing dumb. He knew exactly what I was talking about and was just trying to cover up in front of his date.

"I don't even understand you," I said, shaking my head.

"What are you talking about?" he asked, always acting like he was clueless.

"That is exactly what I mean. You always try to act like nothing is wrong, and as long as you're happy, you don't care what you have to do. You don't care if you have to lie, keep secrets, or hurt people," I explained. He looked at me without speaking, like he was trying to come up with a comeback. After a few seconds of thought, he let out a small laugh.

"Oh, stop acting like I'm the bad guy," he said.

"What are you talking about?" I asked questioningly.

"If anyone here is the bad guy, it's you," he told me. My eyes widened at his words.

"How am I the bad guy?" I demanded, my voice rising, and he let out a light laugh, smirking slightly. How could he possibly pin this one me?

"I may have cheated on you," he paused, glancing at Ikuto for a few seconds, but then he quickly looked back at me, "but dating someone because you pity them and because you are lonely is just low," he finished, smiling in satisfaction.

I stared at him in shock, I couldn't believe what he had just said, I couldn't even come up with a response. I didn't understand how he could think for one second, that I was the worst out of the two of us. I continued to stare at him in silence for a few moments, and then his girlfriend spoke.

"Umm, Tadase, can we please leave?" she asked in a quiet voice, breaking the silence, and Tadase let out a small chuckle.

"Well, it appears I've left them at a loss for words, so I guess since we have no more business here, we can," he told her, grabbing her hand and starting to walk away, although I wasn't about to let that happen.

"Don't you dare walk away from me!" I yelled after him, and he stopped to look at me. I let go of Ikuto's hand and stormed towards Tadase so I was right in front of him.

"What? Finally found you voice?" he taunted me, and I glared at him silently, and he just laughed at this. "What do you want now?" he asked me.

"You think you can just insult me, and him, and then just casually walk away?" I demanded.

"Why do you care if I insult him? You are only with him because you pity him, anyways," he said, trying to infuriate me, and it was working. I felt like I was about to snap.

"Is that what you think?" I asked him, trying to control my voice, and he could tell.

"No," he paused, "it's what I know," he replied, getting in my face. I could feel myself about to lose it. I clenched my hand into a fist, trying to control my anger.

"Don't tell me you are going to start crying," he said, chuckling and in that second, I snapped.

The next thing I knew Tadase was on his knees, holding his face in his hands, his girlfriend was frantically asking if he was okay, and my fist was throbbing from punching him square in the jaw, but I was still far from being done with him.

"How can you act like I am the one who is being cruel?" I yelled at him. "Do you not remember you were the one who cheated one me? Do you not remember that you were the one who came crawling back, begging me to give you another chance? Do you ever process anything? Or do you just live in your own little fantasy world where everything is perfect for you, and you just lie and cheat to make it better for yourself? You don't care who you hurt, because as long as you're happy, everything is okay, right?" I asked, pausing for an answer I knew I wouldn't get because he was to busy crying and cursing about his precious face, although he finally looked up at me. His face was red with pain, rage, and embarrassment and after another second I continued speak. "Well, it's not alright, you can't just assume things just so you can look better and feel better about yourself," I glared down at him, and he still said nothing, his façade wiped off his face in the blink of an eye. "I am not going out with Ikuto because I pity him, or because I am lonely. I am going out with Ikuto because I-" because I love him. That was what I wanted to say, but there was no way I could bring myself to say it in front of everyone here, I knew that I would be embarrassed about all of this enough later. I quickly recovered and thought of a new response. "B-because he actually cares about me, unlike you. He has always been there for me from the very start, even when I wasn't there for him, even when I was with you, so I know I can trust him not hurt me," I said, starting to calm down. Tadase looked at me for a moment, but then stood up shakily, trying to regain his balance. "You are an arrogant, conceited, selfish little brat that will do anything to get what he wants, so stop trying to make me the bad guy," I finally finished speaking, my adrenaline wearing down and my anger fading away. At this point Tadase was just glaring at me, and he continued to do so while he spoke.

"Yeah, that's me, the arrogant little brat," he said, pausing as he stared me down, "so just wait, and I will get what I want and I will break you," he threatened me, but I continued to stand my ground. He continued to glare at me for a few more moments until his girlfriend tugged on his arm, and after another second and a final glare, the two of them began to walk back towards the entrance.

I watched them walk away until they were out of sight, and the moment they were, I sighed loudly. I felt like I had been holding my breath since I first saw them here, and now that they were finally gone, I could finally breath a sigh of relief.

I stood there, trying to catch my breath, and after I did, everything slowly started to hit me. All the things I had said, the things that I had done, the things that I almost said. I can't believe I almost said 'I love him' in front of all of them! Wonder if Ikuto noticed how I paused? Wonder if he noticed me being paranoid now?

I tried to calm down and build up the courage to glance over at Ikuto, because I couldn't just stand here all day. I knew he would be starring at me, I knew it, but I still hoped he wouldn't be. I took slowly counted to three in my head and took a deep breath, then I quickly looked over at Ikuto for just a second. Of course he was starring right back at me, and I immediately looked away, the blush finally rushing to my face. I heard him chuckle, and then heard his foot steps walking towards me. I still didn't look at him, even as he drew closer, and when he was only a few feet away he stopped for a few seconds.

"Come on," he said, and then started walking again, but this time in the direction that we had originally been going in. I waited a few seconds before I turned to look at him, and by then he was already a few feet away from me, but I quickly caught up and followed closely behind him.

We walked in silence as we made our way to the exit of the house. I was just looking at the ground, trying to avoid looking at him at any cost. I was so embarrassed about earlier, I couldn't bear to look at him, but I could feel his eyes on me. He was obviously thinking about earlier, and was probably going to question me about everything I said later, and it's not like I regretted any of the things I said, but it was only now that I realized how many embarrassing they were. I still couldn't believe I almost said I loved him! I don't even want to know what would have happened if I had slipped up, even if it was the truth, I still didn't want to say it.

As we turned an incoming corner, I squinted after being greeted by light from the outside, we were finally at the exit and I sighed, relieved that we could finally escape this crazy place, but I was also spiked with panic because I would not longer have the darkness to cover me.

As we walked outside, I became even more paranoid now that I could no longer hide my face. I took a quick glance at Ikuto, and he was looking right at me, smirking, and I quickly looked away.

"W-why are you smirking?" I asked frantically. He laughed at me.

"Nothing," was all he said, still smirking, and I started blushing, knowing that it was far from nothing. I waited for him to say something else, so that we wouldn't have to walk around in this awkward silence anymore, but he didn't say anything else. I looked down at my feet and sighed.

"I'm sorry, Ikuto," I said, feeling more blood rising to my cheeks. He stopped walking and I stopped, too, looking up at him, and he stared back at me with questioning eyes.

"Why are you apologizing?" he asked, confused.

"Because, Tadase had to go and show up here, today of all days, and say all those things," I replied.

"True," he paused, "but it's not your fault."

"But still, I feel bad about all the things he said," I told him, looking down again.

"It wasn't that bad," he reassured me. "Plus, I did get to hear some, interesting things," he said, smirking, and I looked up at him, confused.

"W-what do you mean interesting?" I questioned. He couldn't be talking about what I think he was, right? He didn't notice my pause earlier, did he? My heart started racing as I waited for him to say something else, but he just laughed and smiled. Even though he didn't say anything, I didn't feel any less paranoid, because I knew he knew that something was up, and this wasn't over.

We started walking again and I was just looking around, trying to pull my thoughts together when I notice how little people there were and how many others were starting to walk towards the exit of the park. I had completely lost track of the time, I didn't even notice that the place would be closing soon.

"Too bad we never got to see the rest of the park," I sighed, looking around, Tadase had to go and ruin everything…

"We still have time to see the rest," Ikuto replied.

"How? The park is closing soon," I asked, puzzled. There were still so many places we hadn't been to yet, there was no way we had enough to time see them all.

"It hasn't closed yet, so we still have time,"

"But to we really have time to do everything?" I asked, not really sure what he was planning.

"Do everything, no. See everything, yes," he said, a smirk crawling across his lips, but I still couldn't figure out what he was trying to say.

"What are you talking about?" I asked him, lost.

He suddenly stopped and pointed forward. I followed to where he was pointing, and then it clicked. He was pointing at the Ferris Wheel. From up there, even if we couldn't actually do everything, we could see the whole park from up there, which in a way, was what I had been asking

"Oh…" I exclaimed, finally understanding what he meant. He laughed lightly, and then continued walking and I followed after.

As we got to the front of the ride, there was almost nobody there, so we barely had to wait in a line. I looked up at it as it began to slow to let people on and off, it was definitely taller then the free fall we had been on earlier, but at least I could actually enjoy this more since I wouldn't be dropping me to my death.

After a few minutes of waiting, one of the ride attendants gestured us into one of the seats and I climbed in. When the ride started moving, I jumped in my seat, paranoid that the odd sounds it was making meant the wheel was going to fall off the tracks and we would go rolling away. Ikuto just laughed at me, and I started blushing, I became conscious of how close I was to Ikuto, there was barely an space between us on the seat, and I was confined in this small space with him, if he were to ask me something, or say something, there was no way for me to escape, and this only made me more frantic and paranoid.

I was now so anxious to get back down, it felt like an eternity to reach the top, and when we did, I started panicking when the ride stopped, until I remembered that they had to let people off. As we sat there, I looked around, trying to calm my nerves, and I noticed that the sky had gotten much darker and the sun had already moved across the sky and was now nearing the horizon. I couldn't believe how much time had passed, it felt like it had only been a few hours, but almost the whole day had gone by without me even noticing. I had completely lost track of time, and this made me smile, it must have been because I was with Ikuto. Time always seemed change when I was with him.

"What are you smiling about?" Ikuto asked, disrupting my thoughts.

"Ah, n-nothing," I quickly replied, although I knew he wouldn't just drop it like that. I waited for him to question me, but he just sighed and chuckled, and I found it odd that he just let it go. Both of us remained silent, but then he spoke again.

"What were you going to say?" he asked.

"What?" I asked, trying to play dumb, not wanting to tell him anything embarrassing.

"Earlier, you were going to say something, but then you paused and said something else," he said, eyeing me questioningly.

"Y-you mean just now?" I asked, feeling myself starting to blushing, I didn't want to tell him that I lost track of time while I was with him! No way was that happening!

"No," he started, smirking more, "back in the haunted house with Tadase, you said 'I am going out with Ikuto because I' and then you paused, like you were trying to come up with and excuse." He finished, he didn't even finish speaking and I could already feel my face getting redder.

"Just because I paused doesn't mean I was coming up with an excuse!" I replied frantically, trying to defend myself even though I knew I had been found out. I looked away and down at the small crowds of people below, avoiding looking at Ikuto, but out of the corner of my eyes, I could still see him smirking.

"You made it to obvious," he said, chuckling and I started blushing more.

"I-I don't know what you are talking about!" I quickly replied.

"I think you do," he said, still looking at me.

"No, I don't think so," I said, avoiding saying anything that would embarrass me further. He laughed at my weak attempts to stall. When he didn't say anything, I turned to face him, but the moment I did, he spoke.

"Admit it, you were going to say you were dating me because you loved me," he said. My eyes widened at his words and I started blushing more.

"I-I never said that!" I quickly replied, looking away again. He laughed at my pathetic response.

"Ah, but you don't deny it," he said, and I could hear the smirk in his voice. I froze, taken aback by his reply. I could feel myself blushing more and I groaned loudly, putting my face in my hands, beyond the point of embarrassed and Ikuto started laughing again. How did he always find a way to turn everything around on me? After a few more seconds, I felt the ride stop and sighed in relief that I could finally get off.

I stood up and walked off the ride without saying anything, still extremely embarrassed. I heard Ikuto stand up behind me but I didn't dare turn around to look at him, as if I wasn't flustered enough I didn't need him to say or do anything else to make it worse.

"Are you going to wait for me?" I heard him call out, but I didn't reply, I was so embarrassed, I just wanted to be out of the public eye before he did something else.

I kept walking without out checking to see if he was following me or not, I just figured he was walking right behind me, until I heard him speak.

"What?" I heard him ask, and I turned around to see he was still standing near the Ferris wheel a few yards away. I stared at him, confused as to what he was doing, and he spoke again. "You're not still embarrassed about that whole 'I love you' thing, are you?" he managed to say extra loud so that everyone around us could hear. My eyes got bigger and I was frozen for a moment, but then I quickly started walking towards him.

"Sh-shut up! Don't say things so loudly!" I hissed when I reached him and I could feel my face getting redder as more people looked our way. He just laughed at me, completely indifferent to all the stares and 'aws' being shot our way. After a few seconds he started walking and walked beside him.

"Why did you do that?" I asked demanded, utterly embarrassed.

"You weren't waiting for me," he pouted, although I could see the hint of a smirk on his lips. I groaned a his excuse, and he laughed at me and continued to tease me as we walked out of the park and towards his car.

"You're face is still red," he said, taunting me more as we got in the car.

"Ugh, shut up," I replied, to embarrassed to even freak out anymore, and he chuckled, but then he finally decided to drop the teasing act, for now.

After a few minutes, I finally felt calmer as I looked out the window, watching the sunset and the scenery flash by in silence. I closed my eyes and thought about everything that had happened on this crazy date, and I smiled.

'Today was fun.'

Alright, I think I may have come up with a plotline for the story, finally! Although it is probably the cheesiest, most shoujo-y thing in the world XD But it may actually get the story somewhere, maybe not. Not even sure if I am going to use it or if I will continue to be stuck on my stupid, endless writers block hahaha who knows!

Thanks for reading again, review if you want and I again apologize if this chapter wasn't that great, I know it should be really amazing since it is really important, but I have been working on this section for way to long and my brain is about to explode so yeah…

I'll try to update as soon as possible, although it might be a while with school _

Anyways, bye~
