Hey thankies for reviewing! Quick-note: I'm not gonna put up another chapter until I at least get five reviews. I really hate doing this, but I feel as if I need to. It seems that noboby is reading my stories anymore...
Max:True, Serry only got one review for her last chapter! Thanks for reviewing; Odango Forever! Anyways, Serry doesn't own Beyblade!
My Friend, My Love, My Everything
Chapter19: I Missed You
Run. That's all I could is run. I was to weak to stand the pain, and not brave enough to face it. Some people auto-matically assume I'm strong because of my "No Mercy" style in Beyblading. But, those people...know nothing of me or what I feel inside.
To tell you the truth, sometimes...even I don't know what I'm feeling. Maybe...just maybe...I had made a mistake. Maybe, I shouldn't have angered my parents, let them abuse me, and ran away from home. I just don't know what to do anymore. All that I know is that I've made my decision to leave Tala, Kai, and the others behind...and never...ever...look back.
...:My Friend, My Love, My Everything:...
"Where, though?" Sharon searched around what used to be Serenity's room. "Ray, what if..." Sharon paused for a brief moment and pondered a thought.
"What if...what?" Ray questione his girlfriend. "Got something on your mind?" Ray stared at the blonde blader for some time. Wondering about what she could be thinking.
"Well, what if she left beacause of...me?" Sharon had a worried look. She hoped that her hunch was wrong and Serenity would be back by lunch-time.
"Don't be ridiculous." Sharon and Ray turned their attention to Tyson and Max who had just entered the room. "Sharon, you know for a fact that you two were tight. You two were like a rope." Tyson for once, had said something right.
"Tyson's right, oddly enough." Max smiled at the petite girl. "Serenity wouldn't leave cause' of you. It had to be something else." Max reassured her.
"I...think we have the answer to that." Tala stated as he and Kai walked through the white-oak door.
...:My Friend, My Love, My Everything:...
"Hey! You little witch! Come back here!" A grocery store man had at me. I maybe have stolen some food from his store. But, what was I to do? I mean, I can't live off water forever. At least...I don't think so. (Sigh) Why? Why me? Why couldn't I have been born into a nice family? Why did I have to get a negletcing mother and an abusive father? Why did I get stuck being poor, and living off what ever food I could find? I guess it was a curse. I know some where, there supposed to be someone who is worst off than me, right? But...the fact of the matter for me is...there isn't.
I started out alone, and most likely end alone. (Sigh) Well, whining isn't going to make this go away. Although, I wish it did. Better get going before the store guy finds and call the cops on me.
...:My Friend, My Love, My Everything:...
"I can't believe it." Sharon managed to break the long and akward silence that came once Tala and Kai had explained Serenity's leaving.
"So you...and him...and them...uhh...and she...huh?" was all Tyson could manage. He was a little confused at the moment.
Kai and Tala were not suprised at all by their reactions. Heck, they would be shcoked after what they had just confessed.
"To tell you guys the truth, we aren't to happy by the decision we made either." Tala said in his defense.
"If we could, we would take it back." Kai continued for his red haired team-mate. "I just hope she'll be able to forgive us."
"Guys, can I say something?" Saron asked innocently. Everyone nodded in agreement. "Well, that story as you all know isn't what's vital right now. What is vital, is that we find her before she leaves the city!" Everyone shook their heads.
"Sharon's right!" Ray agreed. With those words said and done, the six people who cared about Serenity the most set out to find their missing and alone friend.
...:My Friend, My Love, My Everything:...
I was breathing heavily partly because, I had ran who knows how many miles, and I was tired. It was getting dark fast and I had no idea where I was going to stay for the night. On top of that, I didn't know where in the world I was.
I guess this is what I deserve. Oh well, no sense in whining about it. I guess the only logical thing to do is to find shelter for the night. But, where? Ah-ha! I see a house! Civilization! I ran over to the house with the little strength I had left. It looked to me that noboby had lived here for years. so it was probably a good idea to stay here, since not a soul lived in the house.
...:My Friend, My Love, My Everything:...
The six remaining people decided it would be best if they split up into groups of three to search for their missing friend. These are the groups: Tala, Kai, Max is the first group. Ray, Sharon, Tyson is the second. Both groups have their own sector to search.
...:My Friend, My Love, My Everything:...
Group1...
"Serenity! Sernity! Where are you? Serenity?" Max shouted scouting the park. He and Tala were to search the park, while Kai was to ask anyone if they've seen her.
"She's about this tall, black hair with red streaks, icy blue eyes. Seen her?" Kai described Serenity to a man and his wife. The man and woman gave a quick glance at each-other and said.
"Well, as a matter of fact, we did see a cute little girl around your age out by the old warehouse." The brunette man nodded in agreement to his wife's words. Kai said 'thank you' and rushed over to Max and Tala.
...:My Friend, My Love, My Everything:...
So I had a couple of scrapes and bruises, well getting into this 'house' isn't the easiest of tasks. There were spiders, for one thing. Then, the metal bars and broken glass. Ehh, I've seen worse. At least I think I have. It's already night, so there isn't much I can do right now.
Wait a second...do I hear footsteps? Who could be here in the middle of the night? What crazy person would be dumb enough to come way out...here...wait a minute. I looked through the nearby window, and saw a dark figure. It was a boy, tall, and he was heading for the house. Uh-oh. What do I do? I can hear him coming, he's moving aside all the things that I was to weak to move.
Hopefully, it isn't some maniac or something of the sort. Ahhh, here he comes...huh? It's...it's...K...Kai? But, what is he doing here? Did they actually come looking for me? Kai soon spotted me and ran over to me. I couldn't move, I was frozen in place. I was still shocked to know they had come looking for me.
"You're okay." Kai let out a sigh of relief. I stared blankly at his figure. After all that, he...still cared for me?
"W-why are you here? W-w-why did you come?" I managed to say. Kai let me go and looked at me solemly for a couple of minutes, wich made an akward silence.
"You should already know the answer to that." Kai smiled at me. "You're my friend and I care about you." He continued to grin.
"Just a friend?" I muttered. Unluckily, he ahd heard my words. Kai glanced at the floor, then at me.
"Serenity, even though you saw me kiss someone else...her kiss meant nothing. It took a while for me to figure things out. But, while I was searching for you...I had realized how much I missed you." I gave Kai a questioning look. "I realized that I missed your laugh, your smile,your face, your company. I know what I did was wrong, so do you forgive me?"
"Kai...I-I don't know what to say." What was I supposed to?
