"Damnit, I know it's around here somewhere," X muttered, reaching under her bed. She had written in her diary before that... that ass had decided to come over and rub her face in her misery even more. Now, she couldn't find it, and it was starting to piss her off.

"I had written in it; where did I put it? Damn damn damn!" Growling, she pulled herself to her feet. Where did I put it? She put her hands on her head as she tried to remember what she had done with it. I had written in it, then Zero came; I put it on the table, and then talked to him, then got pissed at him and...

"Shit!" she said out loud. "I threw it at his head!" Damn damn of all the stupid things I could have done this is probably one of the stupidest!

Suddenly, X felt tired. For the past 72 hours, she hadn't gotten any real sleep. And with everything that had just happened with Zero, she felt mentally tired as well as physically. Sitting on her bed, she tilted her head so it was leaning against the wall. Her eyes were burning, like she was going to cry again, but there were no tears. She felt like she couldn't cry ever again. Sighing, she closed her eyes, and within moments she was asleep.

She wasn't sure how much time had passed when she woke again. If she had wanted, she could have checked her internal clock, but didn't feel like it. Groaning, she stood up, wincing as a sharp bolt of pain lanced through her neck. "...Ow," she complained, rubbing it. Okay, maybe I shouldn't do that again... actually lying down would probably be better.

She walked over to her dresser and stared at her reflection. For what she had just gone through, she didn't look that bad... her hair, being so short, looked the same as always. Her eyes were slightly red, but that would go away soon enough. Yawning, she decided to take a shower to wake up some more.

She would have gone to the bathroom then if something hadn't caught her eye. There was something under her door. Sighing and cursing the horrible way humans had built the apartment, she bent down to pull it out.

It was her diary. X gasped and nearly dropped it. I... I threw this at Zero, I know I did! How did it get here? ... unless...

He returned it. "But... after I blew up at him, why would he return it?" she murmured to herself. Sighing, she went to put it back on her nightstand where it almost always was. Without thinking, though, she dropped so that it fell off the table. Cursing, she bent down and picked it up. She noticed then that one of the pages towards the back of the diary was bent. Frowning, she opened it up. To her surprise, there was something written there. The handwriting was horrible; she could barely read it, but after a few minutes she could understand what was written.

X

I have no clue whether or not you're going to read this. For all I know, you might rip this out and throw it away when you see it. I hope you don't though.

I did read some of your diary. I know I shouldn't have, but then again, you shouldn't have thrown it at my head, should you?

I think I understand why you got so pissed at me... I mean, it's obvious that you've felt this way about me for a long time. I'm questioning myself what exactly I meant when I said... you know.

I was an ass, or as you wrote, an insensitive prick. But X, I've known you for a while now... and I don't want this to end our friendship. And good lord that is about the corniest thing I possibly could have written.

So hey, if you really never want to talk to me again, that's... no, that's not fine by me, but I understand.

Zero

"... You ass," she muttered, staring at the note. Within a few seconds, though, she began to smile. My ass, she thought, laughing a little.

A Few Days Later

Ding. "You've got mail!" Zero glowered at the incessantly annoying email noise that had been coined far back in the 21st century. He briefly wondered how it had managed to last through out the last hundred years or so as he pulled the email up.

It was from X.

Instantly, he began to get a funny feeling in his stomach. She hadn't talked to him for the past few days, and had gone out of her way to avoid him. The fact that she had emailed him made him nervous. I bet she put a virus in this, he thought, opening it.

Um... hi. Yeah, I know I've been kinda not talking to you, have I? Sorry... but I mean, what is there really to talk about. Um.. that whole, well, ya... How am I supposed to talk to you? Should I pretend nothing happened? Okay, I understand you're probably still trying to answer some of your own question... erm... I still want to talk to you, but, well, I'm going in circles here! Do you understand what I'm trying to say? I think I'm just going in a circle here...

Dispite what has happened Zero....

I do still love you

He grinned after reading that. Okay, not what I thought. Quite a bit better then what I thought. Yeah.

Maybe it would all work out.

AN: Yes, it's true. This is the end of the story. No more after this. Sorry, but I mean, the first chapter was supposed to be the end, so it carried on quite a bit longer then it was supposed to. If any of you want to carry this on, go right ahead. You can use this story. It's fine by me. But, I'm sorry, this is the last of it by me. And yes, I apologize for the weak ending. But my muses were running dry for this story.
