'oh my god..what am I gunna do?' Reeni groaned, for the hundredth time.

'would you just shut up already?' Deseara said irritably from the front seat.

They were on their way to Reeni's house. They had told the boys that Reeni was feeling 'sick', and they didn't believe a word, but they had let them go anyways.

'we told you, we'll find a way to help you out of this mess,' Miko said from the seat beside her. 'just out of curiousity, though, would you choose Tala or Kai once it came down to deciding.'

'I really have no idea. I knew Kai way way longer than Tala but……...they're just so much alike.' She sighed.

The rest of the journey was made in silence after that, partly because the others didn't know what to say, but mostly it was because the bluenette didn't look like anything could cheer her up. Pulling up the driveway of the Kiwatashi Manor, the girls piled out of the car and waited as Reeni opened the door.

'um…..Reeni? your room is that way..' Adriena pointed out as she made to go the other way.

'huh? Oh yeah…' the bluenette replied sheepishly.

The girls looked at each other, worrying.

'here.' Deseara said, holding out the phone to reeni.

'what do I do with that?'

'this is a phone, Reeni, you use it to call people.' Deseara rolled her eyes.

'I know what it is!' Reeni snapped, but stopped herself. 'sorry, I mean why do I need a phone?'

'because you need to call Tala and explain the situation to him, or apologize.at least you'll get somewhere, it's the first step.'

Reeni took the phone uncertainly and dialed the number, putting the phone to her ear, she waited as the dialing tone sounded.

'hello?'

'um…tala?'

'yeah. Who this?' the redhead replied from the other end.

'it's Reeni….'

'oh. What do you want?'

Reeni winced slightly from the cool tone he was using.

'listen, im sorry, im deeply and sincerely sorry, I know I've made a mess of things. It was because I was confused….' She stopped and waited for the silence on the other end.

'whats the point of telling me this?' Tala finally replied, his tone cool as ever. 'what's done is done, and don't make up a whole apology thing if you don't mean it.'

'tala I-'

'I'm not something you can push away and take back when you feel like it.'

'its not like that! Tala listen-'

'no Reeni! Im finished here.' With that, he hung up.

Reeni burst into tears and ran from the room.

'give me the phone.' Deseara growled after a while. She dialed and waited impatiently.

'I seriously don't know what your problem is, but dude, you are one messed up person.'

'what is with you?' Tala replied, annoyed. 'what did I ever do to you?'

'oh you want me to tell you? Not only did you upset one of my best friends, but you broke her spirirts and you broke her heart. Is that not enough for me to be bitching at you right now? Huh?'

'but I thought-'

'don't screw with me, Tala, I don't care whether you think you're right or wrong, the problem now is that Reeni has ran off, to…who knows where. So I suggest, if you want to help make it better, tell Kai and send him over.'

'huh? Kai? Why?'

'just do it.' she growled and hung up.

'um…..i don't think you needed to do that much, De.' Misha said.

'and Kai? Why'd you tell him to come over?' Adriena asked.

'look, Reeni's upset with Tala right now. And Kai cares about her still. And if Reeni cant decide, Kai will be there to comfort her, then she'll probably go back to Kai, problem solved.'

'Deseara!' Miko said, horrified. 'but then you're just deciding for her!'

'I know it seems that way. But then if Kai is worthy of getting her back, then he would be able to make her feel better and be optimistic about this situation. And if Tala is worthy, then he would be able to win her back.' The bluenette explained.

'you have one weird logic, De, did anyone ever tell you that?' Misha said.

Deseara glared, 'at least it works….well…sometimes…..'

Reeni sat on the sofa in the living room, head in her hands. There was no point in crying, she realized, not over some guy who cant listen to reasoning. It was then she came to a decision, well sort of, she would go on with her life like nothing happened. But as she walked out of the room, Kai walked in from the front door.she stopped in her tracks.

'what are you doing here?' she said in a hushed voice.

He looked at her in confusion. 'Tala said that you told me to come, well, Deseara did.' He studied her face.

'there's something wrong isn't there?'

'no.' Reeni said and made to walk past him but he grabbed her arm.

'please let me go..'

'no, Reeni, I wanna know what's wrong. Tell me?' he said softly, taking her by her hand and motioned her to sit. Reeni flopped down onto the sofa again.

'I cant do this anymore, Kai!'

'do what?'

'I cant go on with life and pretend nothing has happened and I cant go on knowing that im just running away from my problems.'

'wait, wait, wait, im confused, you gotta tell me the whole story.' Kai said, stopping her.

She took a deep breath.

'when we….like….broke up. It was when Tala came. At first I was a little cautious, but as I got to know him, I kind of realized that I had feelings for him.'

Kai's heart almost froze right then and there as Reeni said those words. But she went on.

'but then I had never let you go, and I knew I was still in love with you, but I hadnt forgiven you for what you did. And I wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do. this caused me to be stuck in jam, I wasn't able to go either way. It wouldn't be fair to one of you if I chose, and now ive decided that I should choose neither, that way, it would be fair to everybody and we'll all be happy.'

'but I wont.' Kai said quietly. 'i'll always be seeing you but I can never actually be with you. And I don't want that. I want you by my side, I want to hold you in my arms and know that you are mine.'

'but…tala…'

'fine, this is what we'll do, I'll talk it over with Tala, and we'll come up with something. Don't worry.' He said, getting up and heading towards the door.

Miko watched as the door close behind him, and half hoped that this was all just a dream and she would wake up and everything will be back to normal, that everyone was just friends.

'I will get you back, I promise.' Kai vowed silently. 'no matter what it takes, reeni, I will make you mine again. im sorry Tala, this is just way it has to be….'
