Chapter 3 (Sad ending): I Wish That I Could Turn Back Time
'What should I do now? was all Rika could think.
'Should I marry Ryo or….?' Rika was troubled, not knowing what to do, she looked at Ryo who was expecting her answer.
He seemed impatient and Rika thought 'Could I really be happy with Ryo?'
*******************
I know, I know I've let you down
I've been a fool to myself
I thought I could
Live for no one else
Takato was walking to nowhere special, he was thinking in the events that occurred just minutes ago. He had finally told Rika how he felt about her, he had opened his heart to her and all she did was remain silent, as if she did not cared at all what he just said, he would have preferred being yelled or being called stupid goggle-head even if he doesn't wear those goggles anymore, any insult would have been than the silence. And now he was sorry, he regrets what he just did.
'She must love Ryo and now I have ruined her wedding' Takato thought sadly.
But now through all the hurt and pain
It's time for me to respect
The ones you love
Mean more than anything
Takato felt tears treating to spill and closed his eyes to restrain them, he felt broken so he did the only thing he felt like doing and ran as fast as he could towards the only place he felt at peace.
Takato soon arrived to what used to be Guilmon's shed and seated in the floor, he could no longer held the tears, he cried, he cried his heart out, it was impossible to be with Rika now, she didn't loved him and he couldn't stay and see her marrying another, that would hurt to much, he only could hope for her to be happy with Ryo, even when he wished with all his heart that it could be him who gave her that happiness.
'But that is not possible, she loves Ryo' Takato thought bitterly.
So with sadness in my heart
I feel the best thing I could do
Is end it all
And leave forever
*******************
'Could I be really happy with Ryo?' Rika asked herself again, she knew the answer, she would never be happy with him, she only would be the old Rika hiding her emotions from everyone, even from herself. She knew who was the one she loved but… what would she tell Ryo.
"Are you alright? You look troubled Rika, did affect you whatever Takato told you?" Ryo said as walked towards Rika.
"I just need to think so just give a minute" Rika said before he could get to close and looked away not wanting to look at his eyes or answer his question.
"He finally told you, didn't he?" Ryo said with a serious tone.
"You knew?" Rika asked surprised.
"Well… no but what else could have he told you to make you be like this" Ryo said walking closer to her.
Rika just closed her eyes, trying to clear her mind 'I wish I could turn back time, I wouldn't have hided my feeling like I did, I wouldn't have been such a coward, I just thought that Takato would never feel the same, he seemed more interested in Jeri than me, I was afraid to be hurt, to hear him say he didn't love me, to hear him said that the best thing they could do was not seeing each other anymore, I was afraid of losing his friendship, he was the first person that tried to be my friend and I didn't want to lose him, but that's what just happened now, I have lost him, if I don't go after him… I will lose him…. I.. I don't know what to do..'
Ryo sighed braking Rika's train of thought and said "You should go after him Rika, I understand"
"Thanks" Rika said smiled and left but not before giving a hug to Ryo who smiled back and said "No prob" And with that Rika left running as fast as she could wearing a dress and high heels.
*******************
Takato was still crying and sobbing, he was now hugging his legs and resting his head on his knees.
'I wish I could go back in time. Maybe if I had told her earlier how I felt….no, that wouldn't have mattered, she doesn't love' Takato thought and started to cry harder.
What's done is done, it feels so bad
What once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again
My world is ending
*******************
Rika was running as fast as she could and thought in going to the first place that came to her mind, the park-at what used to be Guilmon's shed, she was sure that Takato was there, she tried to ran faster and crossed the street but she didn't saw the car coming at full speed…
"Takato…." Rika whispered with tears rolling down her face, she felt so tired, how much she wanted to close her eyes and rest, the agonizing pain was starting to fade.
'I didn't…… got to tell him….. that I lov…' was the last thought in Rika's mind before closing her eyes and rest forever.
It all returns to nothing, it all comes
Tumbling down, tumbling down
Tumbling down
*******************
"Takato…."
Takato raised his head, he thought to have heard someone calling his name, he looked around but saw no one but not to far he could hear now sirens and for some reason he felt like going to see what was happening.
He ran towards the noise and saw a crowd of people near the ambulance. He felt his heart racing for some reason that he couldn't explain, and he felt the need to make his way trough the people and see what was happening.
And when he was in front of the crowd, his heart stopped, lying on the ground was Rika, the paramedics were now carrying her on the stretcher towards the ambulance and Takato went with her.
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
Letting me down, letting me down
Letting me down
*******************
'I wish I could go back in time and had never told her, this is my fault' Takato thought sadly as he saw her coffin being buried, tears fell freely down his face as well as everyone around.
Takato closed his eyes not bearing to see her family crying the same that all his friends and most than all, not daring to see how she was being buried.
Slowly and one after one, the people attending to the burial, left. Takato felt a hand resting on his shoulder and opened his eyes to meet Ryo's sad ones. Ryo just gave a nod and left Takato alone.
Takato couldn't stand it anymore and fell on his knees crying in despair.
In my heart of hearts,
I know that I called never love again
I've lost everything
Everything
That matters to me,
Matter in this world
'This is all my fault, this is all my fault' Takato cried with all the pain in his heart, he would never see her again, no one would ever see her again 'And it is all my fault, I wish that I could turn back time'
I wish that I could turn back time
Cos now all the guilt is mine
The End
A/N: So…what do you think? Like I said I liked more the happy ending even when some emotions are better explained in here….
I made Rika hug Ryo *shudders*….
One last thing…. Please don't kill me, in fact I had planed 3 different endings, the happy one, this one and the third that ended in Ryuki-I only had the idea of how write it but never dared to actually write it and Rika hugging Ryo was the most I could write of the as a couple *shudders again*. Anyway, feel free to tell me what you think. R&R.
