Skyl3r-M0on: After I read all the reviews I felt so motivated to work on the next chapter. Even if it's not that long I loved working on this one, I thought it was so cute! And I don't know if I've ever thank you guys, but thank you! Thank you so much for encouraging me to write with all the reviews and favourites and follows I get. They mean so much to me, so thank you :) I love you guys 3
Ikuto: And me too right? Ahaha, who am I kidding, you love me more than anyone in the world don't ya ;)
Skyl3r-M0on: Shut up you're ruining the moment! *sigh* whatever, just enjoy the chapter...
*Amu's P.O.V.*
When we got to school. I was almost bursting with joy. It felt so stuffy in the car since we didn't talk at all. Which only made me feel like he regretted the kiss. I sighed.
'What did I really expect?' I asked myself. 'That he'd suddenly confess his undying love for me after? Yeah right.'
I trudged my way into the school completely ignoring Ikuto's calls for me. I don't know why I felt really upset right now, but I didn't want to lash out at him. He didn't do anything and quite frankly, that might have been why I was upset.
'Why didn't he take advantage of my? Am I not good enough for me? Does he not think me worthy of the all mighty Tsukiyomi Ikuto?' These were the thoughts that ran through me head as I finally arrived at my locker. To no surprise, the words 'skank', 'slut', and 'whore' were painted on it. When will they grow up. Honestly.
Ignoring the words, I opened my locker and got my books for my first class. History. I wasn't to thrilled about it either seeing as I had that class with both Tadase and Rima. It also sucked that I had to sit between them.
I groaned. This is gonna be a long day.
!
Just as expected, history class was really awkward. I didn't look at either of them, or anyone else for that matter. Even when they constantly threw things at me, so of course when the bell rang I was the first one out. I didn't waste a single second, but I guess because I was walking so fast I wasn't looking where I was going and bumped into someone. I would've landed flat on my ass if someone hadn't caught me.
Looking up, I was met by dark blue eyes that I would've recognized anywhere. Ikuto.
I mumbled a thanks before brushing past him, but he wasn't having any of that. He grabbed my wrist and jerked me back. Panic filled me at his rough behavior and I began to have flashbacks from all times my dad would drag my to his room. My breathing picked up as I shrank back from him, I wanted so badly to scream so I placed a hand over my mouth and closed my eyes. I didn't want people looking at me and seeing me like this. I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of seeing me in such a weak state.
When Ikuto saw my reaction to his actions and immediately let go of me. He then placed an arm around my waist and guided me to a secluded area where no one could see up. I don't know how far we walked or for how long but I just remember opening my eyes and being hit by rays of sunshine. We were on the roof.
He pulled me to the bench under a little sun shelter. After he gently set me down he knelt in front of me and placed his hands on my knees. "Are you okay? I didn't mean to grab you like that."
I shook my head. I knew he didn't mean to, it was just my fault for insinuating that he wanted to harm me. "It's fine. I just got a little freaked out."
"Did he used to grab you like that?" He asked softly. I flinched at the question. I hated thinking about that man. I couldn't even call him dad anymore. No dad would ever do that to his daughters, he lost the privilege to be called a father years ago and I hope he rots in jail.
I stiffly nodded and looked away. I didn't want to look into his eyes in the fear of seeing pity or disgust. I hated being pitied and I expected him to be disgusted by me because I was so weak. I broke down at the very thought of that man and it made my blood boil. I hated knowing that he had that power over me.
Ikuto suddenly stood and sat next to me on the bench. He pulled me into his lap and held me around my waist and hugged me close. I didn't push or struggle, I just laid my head against his shoulder and enjoyed the comfort.
"Amu, I'm so sorry that you had to go through that." He said after a moment of silence. "But I need you to know that I would never hurt you. Ever. I care about you and would never bring you in harms way."
He turned me so I was straddling him and he grabbed my hands. Looking me straight in the eyes he continued. "I promise to always be there for you no matter what, and most importantly,"He ran a finger against my left wrist under my bracelets. My eyes widened. How did he know about those? I waited for him to finish. "I promise to mend your scars. Each and every one of them."
Skyl3r-M0on: Was that creative or what? I've always wanted to do that. Put the title in a line in the story! It's makes me laugh.
Amu: AWWWWW even I have to admit that was cute!
