Kuki's View

I ran out of the apartment, shoving my jacket on. I didn't mean to leave Abby like that, I just had to leave. When Wally said he came up to check on me, I felt so bad. I ran down the stairs, forgetting the elevator. On the last few, I felt the cat's head on my slipper catch my ankle and I came tumbling down, hitting my head on the railing. The reaction.. I could feel tears spilling out but I knew if I made a scene, it wouldn't be pretty. So I held it all in and awkwardly got to my feet. Then I took a deep breath then exited the apartment building. People busily dodged at me as they walked. I bit my lower lip, a habit, then shoved my hands in my pockets and hurriedly walked. I knew exactly where I wanted to go. But should I really go? Walking out of the city area and more into a neighborhood, I glanced around. He still lived with his parents because he was saving up for his own house rather then an apartment. The autumn wind blew my messy hair back, as I folded my arms making my jacket sort of useful.

I knocked on his door. I glanced around the neighborhood and smiled. It was so familiar was she couldn't place it. Maybe we all hung out here?

"Kuki?" I heard my name with the familiar british accent. I looked over to him and smiled.

"Hey Nigel.." I said. He looked worried.

"Are you alright? You're really pale.. Here come inside." He took my arm gently and led me inside. The house was comforting since it had family touches. It made me miss my family.

"Uhm.. Nigel, thanks for.. letting me in. But can I see that tree house we all made when we were 15?" I asked. We had all made this somewhat bad tree house in Nigel's backyard a long time ago. It wasn't much but just a sturdy board with walls and a ceiling. Enough to fit five people. Nigel looked at me and grinned slightly. He wore baggy jeans and a grey hoody. He was dressed for fall but I wasn't.

"Sure. C'mon.." We walked through his kitchen where Mrs. Uno was busy making pie. I smiled and waved.

"Hello Mrs. Uno! Wow that smells really good!" I said and smiled. Mrs. Uno smiled.

"Kuki, dear! How wonderful of you to stop by! Stay longer and you and Nigel can have some pie!" She said and smiled a mom smile. Nigel rolled his eyes.

"C'mon Kuki." He said, just so his mom wouldn't pull out the old baby pictures. I grinned and followed him out. We walked over to the old tree house and climbed up the ladder. Nigel helped me up, then I glanced around. It was still full of stuff when we used to all hang out here. Nigel glanced to me.

"Are you and Wally okay?" He asked me. I flinched gently at Wally's name. Tears instantly filled my eyes. I don't think I've ever cried so much all in one day.

"Uhm.. I don't really wanna talk about." I smiled gently trying to say that I would be alright. We took a seat in our bean bags and sat in silence.

"Hey Nigel.. You and Lizzie..You're relationship is serious.. What would you do if you knew you loved Lizzie with your whole life, but you were in love with someone else?" I asked, hoping he wouldn't ask stupid questions like if that was what was happening to me. He got that far away look in his eyes.

"Well.. I do love Lizzie. And we should be moving in together here, soon. But.. if I loved someone else, more then Lizzie, I would have to tell her because it would kill me to lie to her like that." He said. I was confused.

"Huh? Lieing to her?" I asked. Nigel took off his shades and rubbed them on his shirt.

"Well, guilt would eat me inside. Because if I say 'I love you, Lizzie', then right there is a lie." He said. He raised his eyebrow at me.

"Are you..?" Nigel looked shocked. I raised my eyebrow back.

"I.. Uhm.." I looked down at my fingers. He raised both eyebrows.

"Wow.. Kuki.. I'm sorry but I don't like you like that." He said, stopping his cleaning to his shades. I got a strange look on my face then burst out laughing.

"No, silly! I don't love you! I love Hoag-" My eyes got wide and my hands instantly came up to slap across my mouth. Nigel dropped his shades and stared at me.

"What?! You love.. Hoagie?" Nigel quickly returned his shades and scooted up. I bit my lip and stood up, a little too quickly and hit my head on the ceiling. We definately have grown since 15.

"Ow.. I.. I have to go!" I can't believe I was running away from everyone like this. Nigel shook his head, standing up, hitting his head as well. His expression looked pained.

"Are you okay!?" I asked. I forgot all about what had just happened. He nodded.

"You're not going anywhere until you tell me what in the world is going on!" Nigel said, grabbing my wrist. I sighed, trying to keep back tears.

"I can't. Things are so weird right now! Yes! I love Hoagie! I've loved him ever since I set eyes on him! Ever since we were 13! What happened in my childhood before then? I don't know! But I know he was there!" I buried my face in my hands and sat in my bean bag again. Things were so weird..
