Christmas Break Diary Chapter 10 = One Last Breath
Hey Journal,
Yesterday was fun, but…I don't know. Ryo was dared to kiss me. I didn't know how I felt when he did my dare. I just felt…lost…confused… It was like I was in my own world. I need someone who can help me. I need someone to tell me if I'm in love or not. Who could help me? I can't stop thinking about yesterday. It was strange. Oops, Jeri's awake. Bye. ~Rika~
Rika shut her journal and looked up to Jeri. " Good morning!" Jeri said happily.
" Yeah, you too."
" Last night I got a call from my parents. They are sending the extra key down! Isn't that great!? It'll be here in a few hours. They sent it down a few days ago just in case. I think we're really lucky!"
" Mm hm, lucky…right."
" Oh come on Rika! Everything is going great! I have news you'll like."
" Oh tell me. I really wanna know!" Rika said sarcastically.
" Lacey has to go home. When the key is delivered to the door, this one guy is slipping they key under the door. Then we'll unlock it. That's when Lacey has to go. Her father and mother are going on a vacation to America, California, and she has to go." Rika, for the first time (maybe…), was really happy!
" Good, she's been getting on my nerves." Rika said.
" Rika, do you like Ryo?" Jeri asked.
"…I don't know… a part of me says I do, but the other part says," Go to hell Ryo!"…"
" Oh, I see. Hmm, everyone thinks you two would go terrific together. What do you think?"
" Jeri, I said I didn't know if I like Ryo or not. Ok? So, lets just change the subject."
" Okay Rika."
" Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!" A voice screamed from the large room.
" What the?" Jeri and Rika said together.
" I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME YET!" Rika and Jeri went into the large room. They found everyone else was awake, and the key was by the door.
' yay…' Rika said to herself.
" OH RYO! I'M GOING TO MISS YOU!!!!! I WON'T BE BACK UNTIL FEBUARY!" Lacey cried. Her tears were like a waterfall.
" I'll write to you." Ryo said. Lacey's arms wrapped around Ryo, and she hung onto him.
" I don't wanna gooooooooo!!!!!!!" Lacey said crying onto his shoulder. Jeri unlocked the door, and opened it. They found a man in a black suit waiting by the door.
" Who are you?" Kazu asked.
" I'm here to pick up Ms. Lacey, young man." The guy said. " I'll take your suitcases Ms. Kilkist. (That's her last name)" The man said.
" Okay." Lacey said as she handed the guy her suitcase. Lacey stepped out into the cold, cold, cold outdoors.
" Bye Lacey." Ryo said.
" Bye Ryo." Lacey said as a tear drifted down her pale cheeks. Jeri shut the door.
" Thank Goddess!" Rika said loudly. The room went quiet. " What?"
" Rika! Someone just left! You don't have to be that mean…" Hollie said.
" What are you talking about?! Lacey's not even from this planet!" Rika said.
" I KNEW IT!!!" Kazu yelled out. Everyone turned there faces to Kazu.
" O-kay…." Takato blurted.
" Anyways…" Kenta began.
" How about we finish our game?" Kay said.
* RING…RING…*
" I'll get it." Jeri said. Jeri walked into a different room.
" I don't want to play that anymore." Kenta said.
" Yeah, yesterday's game was really gross…." Takato said.
~~~WITH JERI~~~
" Hello?…hi…what….can you say that again please…really?….*gasp*….Oh my gosh…ok…sure….I will…ok…few hours?…alright…sorry…bye bye…yes, yes, I'll tell her…I know…right away… repeat what you say?!…fine…I will…begin now?…ok…I…will tell her…once I go back into…the room…there you go…I repeated you…ok…bye bye…I WILL!" Jeri hung up the phone. ' Why are parents so rude?'
~~~BACK WITH THE GANG~~~
" How about we sing?" Jay said.
" No! Who wants to sing anyways? *Kazu raises hand* um… besides Kazu." Rika said. Jeri walked into the room.
" Rika." Jeri said.
" Yeah?" Rika answered.
" Your mother just called. She said you have to go to the hospital in an hour. Your gramma had a heart attack." Jeri said sadly.
" Oh my goddess…" Hollie said.
" Are you okay Rika?" Kay said. All the girls went up to Rika to give her support. Rika started to have tears in her eyes. Rika pushed everyone out of the way, and ran into a different room and shut the door.
Rika pulled out her journal and began to write…
Hey Journal,
This may be the last time I write in here. I can't take it anymore. My life really sucks… I'll write a letter in here to my friends. Hopefully they'll read you…
Dear Jeri,

Dear Takato,

Dear Suzie,

Dear Ryo,
Hi Ryo. Good luck with you and Lacey. Sorry for being mean to you all the time. I'm also sorry for being rude to Lacey. I guess you found your queen. After all these years, you actually found her. I'm happy for you Ryo. I'll miss you, and don't worry, I won't haunt you Mr. Legendary Tamer. Well, See ya, I guess. Love, Rika Nonaka
Rika slammed her journal shut. She stuck it on the bed near her and went to her bag. She walked to it, and pulled out a knife from it. She placed it on her leg, and pushed it deeper and deeper onto her skin. Blood came out dripping every where. Rika heard the door open.
" Rika! What are you doing?!"
" Goodbye Ryo…" Right then Rika fell to the ground. The cut was deep. Ryo ran over to Rika.
" SOMEONE CALL 911!" Ryo yelled.
" Why?" Kazu asked as he came to the door." Holy crap!"
" HURRY! GO DO IT NOW!" Ryo yelled again. Kazu rushed off to a phone. " Rika, don't go. Please…I love you…" Ryo noticed a journal on the bed. He went over and picked it up. He flipped through the pages until he came to the last page where Rika had written the letters. He quickly read his…
Dear Ryo,
Hi Ryo. Good luck with you and Lacey. Sorry for being mean to you all the time. I'm also sorry for being rude to Lacey. I guess you found your queen. After all these years, you actually found her. I'm happy for you Ryo. I'll miss you, and don't worry, I won't haunt you Mr. Legendary Tamer. Well, See ya, I guess. Love, Rika Nonaka
" Rika, why did you do this?" Ryo said softly. Soon an ambulance came. Paramedics came rushing into the room. They told Ryo to go somewhere else. Ryo ignored them They told him that she wasn't going to make it.
' Rika, I really love you…' Ryo thought, hoping it'd bring her back… he watched as they lifted her up and put her in the ambulance. He watched when they left too…
Dark Shadow: There's gonna be a sequel…don't worry…It'll be called " Be Mine"
