So I watched Dear John the other day, and it was a complete tear jerker. Great movie though.
Thank you so much for the reviews
"Hello, it's Amu." She said trying to sound as happy as she possibly could.
"Amu, what the heck is going on?" Kukai said a confused and panting hard.
"What do you mean? Why are you breathing hard?"
"Well I tried calling Utau over and over, but she wouldn't answer. Then, I tried Ikuto and he wouldn't answer. So I figured I'd go over to their house, and some people with suits wouldn't let me in. And, they were chasing me out of nowhere because someone inside their household told me to escort me out, by force. But, those suckers can't compete with me." Kukai boasted.
"Sounds like you're praising yourself." Amu laughed a little.
"Well you know… but I'm not here to talk about that, I'm talking about Utau and Ikuto, do you know what's going on?"
Amu paused a little and rethought if she was to tell Kukai about their brake up, and Ikuto's sudden marriage. She took a deep breath and things started coming out all over again.
"Ikutosaidhedidn'tlovemesinceLulucamebackand he'sgettingmarriedwithher."
There was some silence, and Kukai was freaking out all over again. "What, why did you have to say that in one breath, say it slower, calmer."
"Iku-Ikuto said he didn't love me ever since Lulu came back, and-and he's getting m-married with her." Amu sniffled a little and said it slower, with the pain in her chest increasing.
"What? Ikuto would never say that. And Lulu's back? This just doesn't sound right." Kukai said putting a fist on the table.
Amu took the time trying to wipe away her tears. The tears wouldn't stop, just mentioning Ikuto's name hurt, and she felt the urge to cry, it was painful.
"I just don't see why Utau has to be involved in this." Kukai said with a sigh.
Amu's eyes widened. She remembered Utau was trying to tell her a message before Ikuto interrupted.
"Well the thing about being hitched. Don't you-."
"She tried telling me something before Ikuto told me about being married." Amu said slowly gathering her thoughts.
"And what did she say?"
"She said to me about Ikuto being hitched don't- and she just stopped there. And, before she left she said she was sorry for me and had tears in her eyes."
"She must know something." Kukai said leaning on his desk and cupping his chin.
Utau slammed her magazine on the table. "I refuse to go back to school."
"My lady Utau ,what do you mean you want a transfer?" Mr. Amakawa said puzzled.
Ikuto stepped in the room sitting on the couch. "There's no need for that."
"How can you go back to that school?! You know through all my years I have never met a great person like Amu, she has no right to be hurt! How can you just go back to school seeing her suffer like that?" Utau said screaming at Ikuto.
"Well I'm switching my classes to make sure I don't have her anymore." Ikuto said sternly.
"And then what? What about when you see her in the hallways, or if you see her in the mornings then what?!"
"Then I'll make sure I get as far as possible away from her, I'll make sure I won't see her face, I will make sure I'll forget every…memory of her!" Ikuto said angrily and stood up.
Utau gloomed at Ikuto sadly. "You know she really did love you right? You were her first love."
Ikuto bunched up his fist and hit the wall. "Yes, I know, it was the same for me too."
The next morning Amu sat up in her bed hugging her knees. She felt depressed, she felt gloomy, and she felt as if she was on a rain cloud.
"Amu, I don't want you, I don't need you, and I don't want to see you, goodbye."
As she walked with Yaya, she tried playing a smile all over again. Even when she ate lunch with her friends, it was worrying for Rima, Yaya, and Naghiko to see her trying to be strong, and eating large amounts of food.
"Amu are you sure you're okay?" Yaya said looking at Amu oddly.
"Why wouldn't I be? Lunchbox is a person's happiness." Amu said happily and engulfed all her food. She then looked at Rima, Naghiko, and Yaya not touching any of their plates while glaring at her oddly.
"Are y'all going to finish that?" She pointed and smiled happily.
In classes she didn't show she was hurt, but she didn't talk as much anymore. When she reached Chemistry early as she usually did, she frowned not to see Ikuto or Utau in her class.
"Hello Class, it seems Utau and Ikuto are no longer in our class." Nikaidou Sensei pretended to act sadly.
Why? Aww it's not going to be fun anymore. It must have something to do with Amu. People caused an uproar asking questions and making comments. Amu just sat staring, looking pale, ignoring what some rude girls said.
"You're just going to let them talk to you like that?" A boy just asked Amu surprised.
She only nodded and proceeded to stare in space. She raised a hand and all eyes were fixed on hers.
"What about Utau?" Amu said quietly.
Nikaidou Sensei smiled. "She's transferred to a girl's private academy."
Amu felt even worse, she never thought Utau would transfer. But, for what purpose? Why must she do that, were they not friends anymore?
A month later Amu roamed the hallways feeling lonely, and still depressed. She went back to her daily routine of doing nothing but reading manga, bottling up her feelings, and pretending to smile. When she really was dying inside, as she walked to her math class, she noticed Ikuto walking down the hallways and stopped walking. Ikuto smiled at her direction, and Amu grinned back at him waiting for him to come, but Ikuto passed her; hugging and walking along with Lulu. Amu looked at the couple ahead of her smiling weakly and clenching her shirt.
Amu's relationships with people started to dissolve slower, and painfully. She no longer saw Utau ever since the night Ikuto announced his marriage, Kukai was busy leading his soccer team to victory, and sending college applications, Rima and Naghiko always went to Dance lessons, Yaya tried her best to woo Kairi, and she no longer had any contact with Ikuto.
Amu proceeded to the park after school and sat on the swings. She swung back and forth slowly, and then dragged her feet sighing. She was lonely, she was hurt, she was broken… She felt like she was on rock bottom again, her wings had disappeared, her joy was swallowed. Amu felt crushed, lifeless…
"Amu, are you okay?" Tadase said smiling and sat down beside her on the swings.
"Oh Tadase, I'm fine just swinging ha-ha-ha so how are things?"
"If you mean with me and Saaya nothing, we broke up two weeks ago."
Amu stopped dragging her feet and shot up. "Oh I'm so sorry I didn't mean to let you bring up that… I mean I knew she was a bitch *cough but I thought you really were compatible with each other." Amu said coughing.
"It's okay I guess you're kind of right she is one, ha-ha but I kind of wish I had fallen for you sooner." Tadase said stopping on h is swing.
"What…what do you mean?"
"I'm sorry I didn't know an obvious thing…but as I spent more time with you, I began to understand." Tadase grabbed Amu's hands.
"Understand what?"
Tadase looked at Amu and smiled. "Before I liked Saaya, but then something hit me.
I always saw Saaya shining and I was in vane and couldn't see the real you or your feelings. But the both of you are really the same..."
Amu crooked her neck confused. "How in the heck are we the same?"
"Ah I mean I gradually started to notice you shining all along, I just can't believe I missed out on such a great person like you. I've realize I do have feeling for you. These feelings blossomed and grew; I want to be with you Amu."
Amu was shaken up; she didn't know how to respond to Tadase. She gulped and turned pink, a little wary and confused.
"Um Tadase, I appreciate it, but I-I'm not ready yet." Amu frowned and Tadase let go of her hands disappointed.
"I understand, but I will wait until you're ready. And I promise to never hurt you like he did." Tadase put his right hand on her cheek and kissed her lightly on the lips.
The next day after school Amu was reading manga online on Manga Fox. Downstairs in her basement her friends and family had a secret group meeting.
"You guys may know why I have brought you down here, and I want to resolve Amu's current state of depression." Ami said whopping out a stick and board.
"Ooh group meetings, I feel needed." Papa joyfully clapped his hands.
"But, just how do we resolve her problem?" Mama asked worriedly.
Ami slapped the stick on the board pointing to Stage 1: Figure out why they broke up.
"Ooh me, I know me!" Papa said excitedly raising up his hand like a little kid.
"Yes Papa." Ami pointed at her enthusiastic Father.
"Because he had a chain I knew it from the start!"
Mama lightly hit him in the head. "I fear something happened because of a marriage I suppose? That's what I heard from Rima and Yaya."
Rima and Yaya responded nodding.
Ami raised her stick and cupped her chin. "Indeed Mama, I have also heard that too, good information."
Papa slumped down in his chair mumbling. "Man, it was like this in school too."
"I knew Ikuto since third grade, we were best friends. I think it has something to do with Lulu coming back, or his family's company." Kukai said sitting up straight in his chair.
"Yes, Ikuto would never want to marry Lulu she's just come on…she's Lulu for Christ's sake!" Naghiko said waving his hands in the air.
"I agree too, too much shimmer and L.A plastic look." Rima said bluntly.
"So what should we do for poor Amu Chan?" Yaya said sobbing.
Ami held up her hand and saluted standing tall. "We as Amu's dear family and friends will never let another fall, we never give up, we will vanquish, and we will go investigate and go undercover."
Everyone clapped at a maturely Ami.
"SO here's the thing, we need to find out why Ikuto is really marrying her. Who's willing to go undercover and up for business first?" Ami said smirking.
Everyone rose up their hands, Papa was practically screaming out of his chair yelling pick me pick me all over again.
"The first mission we will need to crack the beast." Ami said with a smugly smile.
Everyone was quiet for a moment.
What beast just who is it? Who?
"Ikuto guys, Ikuto." Ami said with a deepened sigh.
"I freaking knew it!" Papa said standing up, and causing odd glances.
Ami returned back to her smug smile. "So who knows better to crack the beast, than the one who knows him the best?"
