Special thanks to Nickesha, Elle von Werner, some things, who I think is Wolfblood9, and MyNameIsSara for reviewing! I'm so sorry for taking so long to update. I will explain about my absence at the end of this chapter so you guys can read first~ Also, the story will be a little shorter than intended.

Sorry, uploaded the wrong chapter eariler...

Quick recap:

Ken left the school and headed for home. After a while, he made it home. Nobody was there like usual so he went to his room. He reached into a real bottom under a fake bottom in his nightstand and grabbed a picture book.

"These were happy time" Ken said as he flipped the pages "Now I don't even have those"

"Okay, so is everyone ready to go?" Yuuri asked as he saw his friends walking towards him and Wolfram at his locker.

"Yup!" Monlina said cheerfully.

"Then let's go" Yuuri said, closing the locker and Wolfram held Yuuri's hand in the most gentle way. They walked out of the school to see it snowing

~Another Chance~

They were having small conversations about school and homework. Everyone was talking except for Yuuri. He also seemed to be spacing out which worried Wolfram but he didn't say anything about it. He knew that Yuuri was probably thinking about his father since Ken's house is across from his old home, where his father still lives.

Wolfram's thoughts were interrupted by laughter. He looked back at his friends but it wasn't them. They all looked at the direction of where they think they heard the laughter. They saw Yuuri's father and some woman.

"He doesn't even miss mother" they all turned to Yuuri with concern. They all knew that Yuuri was very close with his family and it was hard for him to get over his mother and brother's death. Wolfram could see tears brimming in his eyes.

They wanted to say something to comfort him but they couldn't find the right words to say. Even Elizabeth felt sympathetic. Her parents were never there for her, only her grandmother cared about her.

Yuuri felt Wolfram squeeze his hand reassuringly. He looked up to see his boyfriend smile at him.

"He's a cold-hearted man. Don't mind him. Everything will be fine, okay?" Wolfram said firmly, yet in a gentle, persuasive way.

"I'm fine, really" Yuuri said. He quickly wiped away the tears and smiled at his friends. They didn't trust him but they just dropped the subject since it will only bring sadness.

~Another Chance~

Ken did a little redecorating by rearranged his room. He took down anything colorful on the walls and he sat there with blanket wrapped around him. Laying in front of him was a book of photos, turned to a certain page where there was a picture of a man whose face was cut off at the smile and had his arm around a smiling Ken.

"Why couldn't you have stopped it? Why did you give me that face?" Ken said, sounding broken. The doorbell rang and he quickly shut the book. He put it back in its original spot and got up to get the door as memories flooded back.

'What took you so long babe?' The voice echoed through his head as he slowly opened the door, peeking out to see his friends.

"Oh, hey you guys" Ken said, trying to push aside the sad memories and thoughts.

"Ken, are you okay?" Hana asked, worried about her friend.

"Yeah, sorry for lashing out at you guys. It wasn't your fault… I'm just going through a rough time"

"It's fine, it happens" Yuuri said, having his share of sad memories "May we come in?"

Since Yuuri been to his house before, he led everyone to the living room while he went upstairs. Ken went to the kitchen to make some tea. He returned to the living room and handed his friends steaming yet warm tea.

"Sorry for the wait. It's cold out today" Ken said, looking out the window at the falling snow "Did you walk here?"

"No, we hitched a ride on magical unicorns" Carlos said and Yuuri giggled. It was an inside joke between him, Yuuri and Ken so the rest of them were confused.

"You guys shouldn't have come. It's cold and walking in the cold is not good"

"We were worried about you" Yuuri said gently, it still pained him that Ken was keeping secrets from them. He had secrets too but they were not that important.

"Since you just ran off and you wouldn't even talk with us" Monlina said.

"I'm sorry everyone, it's just a stressful year"

"Then what happened to your hand?" Elizabeth asked. She's very impatient but usually keeps her mouth close in situations like this since she would most likely make everything worse.

"Truthfully, I burned it while I was cooking. But I'll be better sooner or later"

"Oh well then… where's your parents?" Monlina asked.

"Work"

"I see. Then want to help us decorate Wolfram's house" Monlina asked, excited.

"Today is only Tuesday! The party is in a week!" Wolfram fumed "I don't want you guys messing up my house now"

"We just want to help! Besides, it's not like your family is at home at the moment"

"No"

"I'll decorate the house" Yuuri said, hopefully calming down his boyfriend "But I don't think that Wolfram would mind if you guys helped with shopping for the stuff"

"Fine" Wolfram mumbled. At least they weren't going to his house and 'decorating' his house.

"ALRIGHT" Carlos jumped up like an excited little child and Hana bit back a laugh.

"Eh… hm" Ken smiled, but his smile turned to a frown still think of that man.

'I HATE YOU GET AWAY' Ken remembered and hid his upset face by laying his face down on his propped up legs.

"Ken are you okay?" He lifted his head to see his friends looking at him worriedly.

"I'm just a bit tired"

"Do you want us to leave so you can get some rest?

"No, I'll be fine"

To make it up to you guys for no posting anything in a long time, I'm going to post another chapter sometime soon. Cause I need to write it!

So I would like to thank you for still following and supporting Another Chance enough though I'm horrible for not updating in a long time. Thank you for reading and reviews are appreciated! Feel free not the read the stuff below because it's about why I was away for so long.

~Terrible long excuse~

Okay, so first things first. My main reason for not being here is because I was very active on another site, an art site, called DeviantArt. I'm not very skilled at art but I still try~ I made a lot of lovely friends there and it's extremely addicting and time consuming. I was drawing a lot and trying to improve. Btw, the link to DA page is on my profile, or you can on go DeviantArt and look for Yumichan216.

Another reason was because I had writer's block. When I tried to write, my mind went blank. Nothing came to me. And I thought I would stop writing for a bit and get back to it after to get my brain a little break but I got distracted with art again.

The last time was school. Over summer all I did was draw. I wanted to write but I owed people things so I need to get that done. Then I had school again. I had Science this semester and I'm not a Science person, I don't get it at all. It just confuses me. But this year, it's really demanding and I really needed to work hard to get a good or decent mark.

So all in all, I'm trying to get back into writing. For those who have a DA account, feel free to comment on my page and tell me who you are from Fanfiction, comment on this chapter and tell me your username or just PM me~ And lastly, one thing I picked up from DA was using emoticons. If you don't know what it is, there are emoticons - c: ;u; :3 which is basically little faces. I'm trying not to use them but they are just kind of a habit now. So thanks for supporting me still and I hope you enjoyed the chapter!
