Oh, and I switched between American and Japanese names, I just like some of them better. However, I finally got it out! Hurray! Here it is, and sorry if it sucks, cause I know it does:

GREEN TEARS
CHAPTER 1
*******************
Usagi covered her eyes in disbelief when she saw her best friend lying motionless in the white hospital bed. How could THIS have happened? It couldn't have happened to her, not Lita. She was the strongest of all five of them. ~ This has to be a nightmare. ~ Usagi thought, although she knew in her heart, it was frighteningly real. Timidly, Usagi walked into the room. Almost fearful that she might break, Usagi laid her warm hands over Lita's cold one's. "Oh, Lita. How could this have happened? Please wake up soon, everyone misses you. It has been a week, and the whole school is waiting for you to get better and come back."
Tears overflowed in Usagi's eyes. This was the first time she had seen Lita. For the first week, the doctors hadn't allowed anyone to see her because her condition was unstable. A shaky smile appeared on Usagi's normally cheerful face. "I have some good news Lita. You are not pregnant, and your ribs will heal in a couple of months. The doctors say you are lucky that they found you in time…" Usagi couldn't stand it. This pale, sickly person couldn't be her best friend, who was always energetic and healthy, always ready to go hunt boys. Usagi's tears flowed freely down her face, making a damp spot on the crisp, white, hospital sheets. Hoarsely, Usagi whispered, "Please, Lita, come back to us. We need you. We love you."
Usagi squeezed Lita's limp hands before drifting off into a fitful sleep, unaware that her tears had started glowing, but not before one word slipped out of her dry lips. "Please."
*******************
Lita felt a warm rush spread through her body. She closed her green eyes and smiled contently, the sun bathing her skin. She heard familiar laughter fill the air. Turning, she saw Ken, one of her best friends, and another girl, who looked a lot like the new girl at school, Rika, laughing. She called to them, her arms waving in the air. Eerily, they didn't call back to her. She ran up to them, but they still didn't look at her. Lita realized they couldn't see her! Grinning mischievously, she tried to pick up a bowl of pudding that was sitting between them, but her hand passed right through the bowl! Then, something they said caught her attention.
"Yeah, she is such a tomboy. If not for her long hair and breasts, she could pass it off as a boy!" Rika said, while laughing hysterically. Lita's mouth dropped in shock, not believing what she was hearing, but what she was about to hear next would surprise her more. "Yeah," Ken agreed, "I bet on her birth certificate, it says, 'born girl, should be boy.'"
Rika cracked up at this, her long, wavy brownish blonde hair tumbling over her shoulders. "I can't believe she is one of your best friends."
"Well, I consider her one of the guys, unlike you, who I definitely consider a girl." Ken joked before dipping a finger into the pudding and putting it in Rika's mouth*1. Rika's mouth smiled around Ken's finger before she placed one of her pudding covered fingers in his mouth as well. Lita watched as they both stared at each other from behind each other's hands. Both of them removed their hands from the other's mouth as they closed in for a kiss. Lita couldn't stand it. She screamed, wanting it to all end, but it wouldn't. In horror, she watched as the boy of her dreams making out with the new girl in town. "NOOOO!!!"
*****************
She couldn't escape, everywhere she looked, there was the vision of the two of them kissing and laughing, repeatedly. ~ I have to escape. ~ Lita thought as she ran through the dark corridors of her mind. Her green eyes lit up as she saw a bright silver light at the end of the corridor. A smile graced her lips as she ran full speed towards the light, impatient to escape this hellish hall. However, no matter how far or fast she ran, the light seemed to grow farther and farther away than closer. Suddenly, a tall figure appeared in front of her, making her skid to a halt.
"What!?" Lita shouted. In front of her, was Ken, his chocolate brown eyes*2 serious.
"Ken?" Lita asked as she held out her hand towards him, her eyes shining with hope. Ken just stared at her, not making any intention to take hold of her hand. Lita looked at him questioningly before dropping her hand. She was about to say something when he interrupted her. "Ken-"
"I'll never think of you as a GIRL, Lita. RIKA is the REAL girl, not you. You are just one of the GUYS, and NOTHING more" Ken said before he disappeared into the air, his words echoing through the hall. Lita just stared at the spot where Ken once was. She couldn't believe her ears. Tears started to well in her emerald eyes, but she refused to let them fall. ~ No, I will NOT let this get to me. I knew he would never think of me THAT way. Never. Never. ~
Blinking away the tears, she continued to run faster towards the light, his words echoing in her ears. ~ 'One of the guys?' 'ONE OF THE GUYS!?' I can't believe I- ~ Suddenly a voice stopped her again. This time it was, Usagi. "Please, Lita, come back to us. We need you. We LOVE you."
~ They, need ME? ~ Lita thought unbelieving. Abruptly, the bright light at the end of the hall stood glowing in front of her. She squinted. On the other side of the blinding light, she saw all her friends laughing and playing, each holding hands with a handsome guy. The tears she had been holding back now spilled out of her glistening eyes as she felt a dull ache grow in her heart.
~ Why can't I have that? Why am I always the one without a boyfriend. Why? ~ Lita thought dejectedly. Shakily, Lita backed away from the light, back into the shadows of the long, foreboding hall. Turning around, about to flee, she was stopped by Ken's voice. "You are just one of the guys, and nothing more. NOTHING MORE!"
Lita was confused, she didn't understand what was going on. She had to escape. She couldn't, WOULDN'T go back to the light where all her friends their boyfriends were. It hurt too much to watch them kissing and holding hands, while she was utterly alone, but she couldn't go back down that cold, dark hall where Rika and Ken were. She was trapped. Either way, she would have to suffer, knowing she'll never have what her friends have, and the guy of her dreams didn't even think of her as a girl. Suddenly, a glint captured her eye on the floor. She glanced down. It was a knife. A little timidly, she stooped down and picked it up, tears flowing down freely down her face. Lita cradled the knife to her chest. Looking back to where Ken and Rika were, then returning her gaze to her friends, Lita raised the knife, preparing to plunge it into her chest. ~ Never again will I have to feel the pain of being alone. ~
Just as she was about to plunge the knife into her bitter heart, one soft word stopped her. One, single word. "Please."
The knife clattered to the floor, forgotten. Lita grabbed the sides of her head, as words and pictures flashed through her mind.
~ "Nothing more." Ken's smiling face.
"We need you." Her happy friends.
"Just one of the guys." Ken and Rika laughing.
"Come back to us." Usagi and her laughing in the kitchen.
"Never as a girl." Ken and Rika kissing.
"Please." A crying Usagi holding out her hand. ~
Lita screamed in agony as she felt her body catch on fire as she was pulled into the shining light. Unknown to her, Rika's blue eyes had flashed an eerie red before her vision turned white, than black.
********A Day Later*********
Lita stared fondly at her friends as they laughed while standing all around her hospital room. She couldn't even tell it was a hospital room with all the balloons, flowers, food, and cards covering every open surface. Lita felt a warm, large hand touch her shoulder gently. She looked up; it was Darien. He smiled softly at her, his blue eyes asking a silent question. Lita just weakly grinned. Darien smiled an equally weak smile before handing her a bouquet of red roses*3. Lita smiled up at him, before taking the roses and squeezing them between a giant teddy bear from Usagi and a couple tens of balloons from Mina. "Thanks, Darien. They are beautiful."
Darien looked at her, his eyes seeing right through her façade. Just as he was about to ask her a question, Usagi grabbed onto his arm. "Darien! I am so happy to see you! Rei doesn't believe we've kissed yet, you have to tell her we have."
"Why don't we show her, Usako?" Darien whispered jokingly in Usagi's ear as her smiled a fond smile at his beloved. Usagi blushed deep red before nodding eagerly, much to Darien's surprise, then she took off to tell Rei and the others. Darien left, but not before nodding at Lita, a little bit uneasily, afraid what the bubbly blonde was going to do to him now. Lita gave him an encouraging smile and a weak laugh as she watched her best friend drag her boyfriend away. Lita felt a small tug on her heart as she saw them holding hands. One lonely tear slipped down her cheek as she remembered she would never have what they have. It was her destiny to be alone, forever. Sighing restlessly, she fell into a light sleep, a certain chocolate eyed boy on her mind.

Ok, that is all folks! Hope you liked it, if not, well, sorry. I hope that I'll get the next chapter later this week. I already have an idea. This was 1,577 words. Oh, the next chapter might be even shorter than this, sorry.
~shyne~
*1. I know, very corny and gross, but hey, I need it to be sickeningly "sweet."
*2. Are Ken's eyes brown (I changed it from green b/c I looked and I think they were brown…)? If not, tell me in your review, cause you WERE going to review anyway. lol
*3. Obviously!
I am so SORRY I haven't updated, and hopefully you don't die, but I have been busy (school and updating other stories).
