Disclaimer: Chapter one. I also do not own the song: Wishing For an Eternal Sky.

Hey everyone! Looks like things are back to normal. (Bye, bye spring break…L)

Thanks to all who reviewed, and thank to those who gave tips. I sure appreciated it!  This chapter is mostly about Rain and how she's taking everything. Anyway, here's chapter 8: Wishing For an Eternal Sky.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Emotions will brighten, emotions will cloud.

Nothing comes easy, but I'll keep on believing.

Hope will turn into wings…

-----------

"Dear Diary,

Things haven't been the same since Domon left me. Somehow, I feel that he'll come back to me. I keep on thinking that someday I'll return to safety of his arms and live knowing he'll be right by my side. It all turns out to be a momentary dream. I think what has Allenby got that I don't? I don't even want to think about her. My tears have been painted onto my face and can't get rid of the crying! I don't know what to do anymore. I just wish someone could help…

The clouds were crystal clear in the sky, but to Rain, everything faded a dark gray; a gray no one could paint over.

" Did you hear the news?"

" Yeah, Domon Kasshu and Rain Mikamura broke up!"

" I heard that it was because Domon was cheating on her!"

" No way! It was because Rain was too demanding."

" What ever it was, it sure wiped the smile off Rain's face." And so the rumors spread.

" What happened to you Domon? I worry about you sometimes."  Kyoji thought.

----------

Catch a rainbow,

And chase a shooting star.

Like a shapeless cloud,

Look into the distant sky,

And see yourself in your dreams.

Allenby became overjoyed with the news. However, she did feel sad for her new friend, Rain. Everything just brought her closer to Domon.

" Now that Domon is free, I should ask him… no. It's not right yet. Yet…"

 So, stand with your face against the wind

As you sing with a smile on your face.

You still don't realize

It'll guide you though the map of tomorrow.

Dear Diary,

Allenby seems happier each day. I guess it's because I broke up with Domon. I'm starting to dislike her now. No, hate her. That's a better word. I can't believe how everything is going! My grades are falling, my social life is falling, and I even started to write in a diary. I was never too fond of writing. My heart has become like ice. I can't feel anything anymore. My life is crashing down. I don't know what else to do…

---------

" Wow! What a beautiful day! Days like this never come very often! I feel just horrible about telling Rain all that. Now, I just feel relieved. A huge block has been lifted from my body. I feel lighter in my heart. It just doesn't feel complete though. There's just something missing…" Domon said to himself.

------

The breeze blew from Rain's hair. It cooled her in a way. The heat of her misery had been burning in her for the longest time. It felt nice to feel a cool wind through her burning heart. " My dear Domon, when will you ever come back for me? Why can't I realize that you won't be coming for me?"

--------

Dear Diary,

The black still never seems to fade. I wish I could paint the whole world white. White, just the opposite. I want to live in a world filled with white and other different colors. Anything but black. I hate black. I've been seeing much of it lately. I'm just tired. Darn it all! I wish I could get out! Get out! Someone help me…

-------

So, stand up to the wind,

As the tears dry from your cheeks.

Wishing for an eternal sky,

A vast sea of endless dreams.
