Starcrossed Lovers: Chapter Eleven
I know I haven't been updating in a while because I've been a bit depressed and all. Please help by reviewing!!! (I know this one's short, but telling me that isn't going to help, not one bit!!!)
Chatper Eleven: "I'm Sorry, Hitomi."
I can't breath…. It's cold… am I going to die? Why am I out here by myself?...Van…I love you…. I have to tell him that! I must keep…
Flashback:
Little Hitomi's waiting at a train station, holding her mother's hand. She watches as the watch on her mother's hand ticks. …tic…toc…tic…toc…
Suddenly the watch stops… her mom stops talking…everything just stops… Was she all alone? Why did she feel so lonely?
In the corner of her eye she sees a mysterious person that just somehow stands out. Then the person is gone and Hitomi can hear the 'tic…toc…tic…toc…'
End of Flashback.
I really never figured out what that one meant.
Flashback 2: Hitomi's POV from a dream
I'm floating…except I really don't know where. The surrounding is black… the air is cold on my face…I feel…all alone…I can't open my eyes…am I going to die? The air is harsh…or is there any air at all? Why?
I feel the hard ground… yet there is something different about it… like it has not been trodden before… …I try to walk and then…
End of flashback
So…this place…this strange place I'm at…that's what the dream was telling me… Oh…
Flashback 3:
It was Hitomi's tenth birthday. Her mother had given her a set of Tarot cards. Hitomi remembered her first reading.
Hitomi pointed at the reversed card. "Something bad's going to happen. Hmm… this card means—all hopes lost unless…unless I have the courage? Wait, that doesn't make any sense. I think I did this wrong… This card is telling me that if I'm not careful, I'll be sorry. Gosh, why is everyone out to get me?"
Hitomi remembered very well what had happened. The next day she had fallen off of her bike for the first time. Now it makes sense! Since I didn't see the rock in the road, my bike toppled over! Oh, these Tarot cards are so awesome!
-End of Flashback-
I don't think that reading really had anything to do with a bike…oh no… not at all…
Hitomi's eyes snapped open. She remembered why she was out there! It was to find Van! She had to let him know that she still loved him. She was now oblivious to the cold, the air, and any other factor that might serve as an obstacle. For some reason, Hitomi was glowing. Why? She didn't care. She had to find Van.
I have to tell him! He's gone through a lot, but I'm sure he'll understand if I tell him! He has to because I love him so much!
She saw him. The blob of red and black.
"VAN!" It was hard for her to keep her eyes open. "VAN!"
He was lying on the ground and didn't stir when she called him.
"VAN!"
Hitomi finally reached Van and kneeled beside him. "It's really not what you thought it was."
"It always is," Van replied. "You and Allen, you and Soare. Why are doing this to me, Hitomi? Why?"
She was sobbing. "Van, it's true. I did kiss Allen, but that was then. This is now. It's different now, I'm not like that! Really! You have to believe me. I love you, Van. I love you more that anything, anyone! Please."
"Hitomi…I'm sorry."
Suddenly a pillar of light sent Van back to Fanelia and Hitomi back to Earth.
Review Please.
(A/N: Right now, I plan on updating within the next 3-4 weeks. The more reviews I get, the shorter that'll be. Thanks to everyone that does review for me!! Bye now.)
