Crossing the Line: Chapter One (Action Taken)

(Oh, btw, I've taken out all of the dialogue in my author notes because I don't want this story taken off. Just in case you missed them)

Hope this is easier to read!

All I can feel is betrayal, anger, to put it simply.....emptiness. When I was with you, you opened up emotions in me that I had long since forgotten. You helped me to be honest with myself and trust the world once again. Why did you have to leave? Especially for her. How can you stand her? Now, I've never had anything against her, until she stole your heart, and left me with nothing but bitterness. And you bounced back quite quickly, didn't you? Did you ever love me? Or was it simple attractions and lust? So I'm really sorry Ryou, because all though it seems like you can live without me, I cannot live without you. I still love you very much, but I can't pretend to be happy for you when all I feel is pain. I also refuse to compete with her. So, this is something I have to do.

Rachel Kaiba felt slow tears run down her cheeks as she wrote the note- her suicide note. If Ryou wanted to leave her for someone else that was fine, but like the note said, she couldn't live without him. She wrote one more note.

Seto, Mokuba, I'm so sorry. I know you may think this is selfish of me, but I can't help it. I love you both, please be strong and don't forget me.

She slashed one of her wrists, and as the crimson flowed, she thought back at all the good times she and Ryou had spent together. That thought only made her cry harder. "This pain is so intense, but soon it will all be over." She slashed her other wrist, and as she lost consciousness she had one last thought.

"Ryou, Tea, I hope you're happy together." She collapsed and drew her last breath.
