Chapter 13: My Love for You Was There Then, Now and For All Eternity Now I'm a fourteen year old girl going to an all girl school with Chau. I miss Kouji as I always have. It's like having a constant pain in my heart.

Chau was the only person who was able to help me through. She was there for me. She may not have understood me like Kouji did but she was a good listener. And when she didn't understand she told me. She wasn't like one of those people who pretended to understand and at the end gave you the most pathetic advice. And she didn't pretend to care like some other people. No, she had the gift of kindness, caring, understanding, and love. I don't know what she'd be without those quantities.

The problem was every time I was asked out by a guy I refused. Not because I didn't like them; none had bad breath, body odor of any of those things; and all of them were pretty hot. No the fact was, every time I was asked out I felt a surge of guilt. The guilt of seeing Kouji hurt. That guilt stopped me every time from saying yes.

It's not that I didn't hang out with guys. But when I did it was in a group, playing sports or at a party.

Now that we're both in high school, Kouji and I barely have time to spend together. It saddened me, the fact, and for a while I suffered from depression. At the end I was able to get out of it. I still wish he were at my side. But it's just a wish.

~Kouji's POV~ It's been about four years since Asia entered my life back in Japan. I long to see her again. The last time I saw her was two months ago in the Digiworld.

I still remember the day she left. Her last words were, "You can always call on me. I'll be waiting. Count on me, I'll always be there." Those words are just a memory now, fading away like the sunlight.

Only one thing gets me through the day now. Summer is coming and I have a huge surprise for Asia.
