A/N: *Whew* I finally found time to update this story! Enjoy!

The school year was quickly coming to an end. And sadly, as much as I hated to admit it, so was Kari's life.

Kari and I were at her house, enjoying each other's company while we still had the chance to. Suddenly the doorbell rang. "I'll get it." I said as I stood up to open the door. When I opened the door I was surprised to see my former best friend Daisuke, and Kari's best friend Yolie. "What are you doing here Daisuke?" I asked a bit angry and confused at the same time. Kari slowly walked to the doorway entrance and her eyes brightened when she saw Yolie.

Yolie darted her way to Kari and gave her a hug. I could see unshed tears in her eyes. "Kari… I've missed you so much!" Yolie sobbed. "Me too." Kari said as she smiled. I then brought my attention back to Daisuke. "You still haven't answered my question." I said impatiently. "I just came here to see Kari." He said. Kari welcomed Daisuke in.

I was surprised at what happened next. There were actually tears in Daisuke's eyes.

"I can't believe--your actually…"

"It's okay," Kari said and smiled.

"I came here to say-- good bye and I want you to know that you've got the biggest heart of anyone I've ever met," he said to Kari, his voice cracking. "and even though I took it for granted and wasn't always nice to you, I wanted to let you know how I feel. I've never been more sorry about anything in my life." He paused and swiped the corner of his eye. "You're probably one of the kindest people I'll ever know."

Daisuke was fighting back tears. Yolie had already given in to hers and sat weeping on the couch unable to speak. There were also tears forming in Kari's eyes. Kari opened her arms as a gesture of forgiveness. Daisuke went to her willingly. "Let's forgive and forget, I would rather forget and gain a new friend then reminisce about the bad times." she whispered. Then it was Yolie's turn.

"You'll always be my best friend." Yolie said. "And you'll always be mine." Kari answered.

When Daisuke and Yolie were ready to leave, the pulled on their jackets and looked at Kari one more time, as if to remember her forever. "I hope that our friendship's not dying too," Daisuke said too me and patted me on the shoulder." I nodded. "Me too." I answered. As I watched them walk out, I knew I've never been prouder of both of them.

I waited for a miracle.

It hadn't come.
