A/N: So sorry for the long updates! Here is the next chapter.. I hope that it was worth the wait..

New surf boards. Real nice ones. There's this blue and yellow one that would be perfect for Tori. Hot. Totally. Looks like I'll have to just put this one aside…

"Hey Kel.. I'm gonna put this in the back ok." I yell out to my boss. Kelly is looking at me like I'm insane. She raises her eyebrows.

"That for you?" She sarcastically asks.

I sigh, "Of course it is, Kel… you know me, the surf god himself."

Kelly laughs, shaking her head, "Sure thing, D. Go ahead."

Cool. I walk into the backroom holding the massive gift for Tori. I know she'll love it. And she'll love me even more. I set the board down, leaning it against the wall. Aaaaahhh .. that works.. as I walk towards the door, I catch a glimpse of my arm in Kelly's wall mirror. I let out a massive sigh.. Dude this scar is nasty. It's huge. It's so hard to ignore and pretend like this whole thing never happened when I have to live with this ugly scar. Oh man.. usually I'm fine until I really notice it again.. Uuuugghh.. I grab my jacket and throw it on. Now I'll feel less disgusting looking. I shake my head at my reflection and walk back out onto the floor to finish unloading the shipment boxes of surf gear.

Usually, the surf gear is fun 'cuz all I do is sort out what I'm buying for Tori. I'm such a spoiler… Oh. Dude! My phone….

I reach into my pocket and answer the loud, vibrating cell phone. Kelly looks over at me and laughs. What's so funny? Oh well…

"Hello."

"Bro…How's it hangin'?" Blake? Oh boy..

"Hey…um…ok.." My stomach is in knots.

"You alright? You sound…. I don't know…. Off." Blake speaks almost like he knows exactly how I feel. C'mon dude, stop acting stupid!

"Nah… I'm just working." What else do I say?

"Yeah? Hey, is it cool if I stop by later? Me and Hunter?" Blake asks. So I guess if he throws Hunter into the mix it's cool then, huh? Why am I acting like Tori? Uuugghh.. I'm so confused…

"Sure.. um.. yeah.. after 6 is cool " I say.

"6? Is that when you pick up Tori?"

What? How does he know she gets out at 6? Oh.. right… maybe 'cuz I kinda just hinted at it… my nerves are totally in defense mode… "Yeah, totally.." as much as I try not to sound weird, I sound even weirder.

"Cool. I'll see ya at 6." Blake smirks. I hear it in his voice.

"Ok."

"Later." Blake hangs up.

"Um… sure… yeah… later…ok.." I speak to no one. Well ok then… weird if you ask me. I dunno.. after that nightmare I had I feel different. I feel weird towards Blake. More than before. And knowing that he's still in love with her, makes it that much worse….

"Hello.." A tiny voice nervously speaks behind me. Ooohh.. a customer… hey maybe I really shouldn't be on my cell phone at work..

"Can I help you?" I ask as I spin around.

Immediately, my face drops to the floor. My heart, my lungs, my stomach… all seem to fail. My throat feels ripped out. No voice. Even if I tried, I couldn't speak. My eyes, pryed open. Glassy. My skin is burning. Red and flushed. This isn't… no way.. this isn't real.. I step back, staring at her in disbelief… Why is she here? Why? What.. what.. I think I'm gonna be sick… I stand trying to catch my breath. Oh my God… I stare at her like I'd stare if I'd just seen a ghost. And that's just what she is to me…

"Hi.." She dares to say another word.

She lets out a nervous smile. Are you for real? Stand there and smile up at me? Like it was nothing?

I try to speak, and I can't. My jaw is on the floor. I'm stuck in a permanent WTF face… this is so fucked on so many levels…

"Dustin.. I've missed you.. so much." Her eyes tear as if I care anymore. Good. Cry.

"Don't even….say that." I find my voice.

"But.."

"Just don't!" I scold. I look around at the handful of customers browsing in the store. There's Kelly helping a tall blonde guy with skateboard stuff. This is all a dream. I'm still asleep, I swear it. And Tori's gonna wake me up any minute. I scratch at my head. God, I've never wanted to crawl under a rock more than I do right now… C'mon Dustin, wake up…

She stands there….Euyi…. you fucking piece of shit…

"Can we talk?" Her low tiny voice hasn't changed one bit.

And as much as I hate her, I want to talk. I need to talk. To tell her exactly how much I hate her. Does she really know what I've been going through? I mean, honestly. I swallow hard. Staring at her like she broke my heart into 500 million pieces 5 times over. Oh wait…..she did.

"So… what… you wanna talk now? Now? After 3 years?" My tone isn't consolable at the present. My brain is mush. My whole life just haulted. I don't know if I can deal with this right now.

"Dustin.. I am so sorry for what I did to you.. Dustin, please.. just let me explain… let me tell you everything.. please.." Euyi stands there. All 5 feet of her. Pleading. And all I wanna do is punch something. I'm nervously twitching and leaning against things. Standing, twitching, leaning, repeat. I can't feel my body. I'm numb. Somewhere else.

"Oh.. you're sorry?" I sarcastically blurt, "Oh wow.. that's great.."

"Dustin, I .." Euyi reaches to hold my hand. I pull away.

"Don't touch me!"

A tear runs down her cheek. Yes. Cry, you fucking bitch…

"Is there a problem?" Kelly defensively walks over to me and stares at Euyi. Euyi is staring at me. I stare right back at her.

"No problem." She says. I stare. The sad thing is, she's still beautiful. Even more than ever. Since I called her my girlfriend.

"I thought so." Kelly says. She turns to me, "Dustin.. you need to sit in the back for a few? You look…"

"Hey, actually… can I?" I sigh "Um.." I pause.

"Are you okay?" Kelly asks.

"Yeah.. I'm fine, Kel." I say, shakey.

"Take a break. Get some air." Kelly orders rubbing my back.

Euyi and I just glare at each other. I take a deep breath.

"You wanna…. Get some… um… air.." I stutter. What do I feel? Anger? Hurt? Smitten? What? Fucking worse timing ever! This dumb bitch!

"I'd like that." She smiles. I roll my eyes and walk away towards the exit. Euyi follows me. She better not expect me to respect her. No… I'm a big jerk.

Kelly stares at Euyi as she walks out the store following me. Dude, I need to smoke a fat blunt right now! Damn Shane and his broken bones! I pace outside of storm chargers. Euyi stands there, watching me. Should I yell at her? Should I grab her and forgive her and hold her forever? Tell her I love her? Should I strangle her?

"Dustin…you look… really…really..good." Euyi blurts.

"What?" I stop in my tracks. I turn and walk up to her. I clench my fists and walk away.

"Wait!" Euyi runs up to me. I unlock my car and climb in it, slouching over the steering wheel. Euyi climbs into the passenger seat.

"Why are you in my car?" I sternly ask.

"Are you serious?" Euyi asks. What?

"Am I serious? Wait, hold on…. Am I serious? No… are you serious? Are you seriously just showing up, after 3 years, at my job like its nothing? Like you didn't break me? Like you didn't emotionally scar me forever? Are you serious? You've got to be kidding, 'cuz….'cuz this is fucking crazy! Either that or you're even more of a heartless bitch than I though you were in the first place! Hey, pick one!" I scold.

"look, you have every right to be mad with me." Euyi says, her face red with shame. Or hurt..I can't really tell.

"Mad with you? I think that's an understatement. Huge understatement." I nod, looking over the wheel.

"We were moving back to Japan and-"

"It doesn't matter anymore." I cut her off. It's too late.

"Would you please just listen!" Euyi pleads. Her tiny voice, loud.

I sigh. That is what I wanted all these years. Closure. A reason. A good fucking reason.

"Go ahead." I say.

Euyi takes a deep breath, "We were moving back to Japan. And I didn't want to go. It was so hard for me. You were everything to me and the thought of having to say goodbye to you ate me alive. I just couldn't do it. I couldn't face you. To say goodbye to you would've been the most hurtful thing I could've ever been through. It was just easier for me to go. Easier for us. Me and you."

"No. not easier for me. You were selfish. That wasn't fair. It was fucked up. So fucked up." I say.

"You're right…selfish.. I was a selfish bitch.. and if I could do it all over again, I would've gone about this whole situation a different way. The right way. The way I should have. I was young and in love and I just didn't know what to do. I didn't know what to do. I am so fucking sorry I hurt you, Dustin. I hate myself for every day that has passed since I left you." Euyi cries. Good.

"Oh.. we have something in common." I laugh, "I hate you every day, too."

"I deserve that." Euyi says through tears. I'm not gonna hug her. I'm not gonna comfort her. No way.

"I wish you could've felt what I felt. I wish I could make you feel the pain you put me through. God, I wish…. I wish…. I never loved you." I confess. Euyi breaks down. She cries harder. Holding herself. My instinct is to comfort her. The way I used to when she was the only thing that mattered to me. When I'd throw myself in front of a speeding train for her if she'd ask me. I could say I'm sorry.. but no, I won't.

"How.. how can you say that?" She mumbles through her tears.

"How can I not give a shit anymore? Oh, I don't know…. Bitter, maybe? Just a little bit." I coldly blurt. Oh man…ok.. now that I'm venting and the anger is lifting, I feel like an asshole. I hate to see females cry. And God knows how much I still care for her…

"And you know… I told myself you would say things that would hurt… but wow.. this really hurts." Euyi cries.

"I'm sorry." I break. I give in. Why do I have to be a nice person? Why?

"Huh?" Euyi stares at me, her eyes watery. Her skin, flushed. Her thick straight black hair, just touching her shoulders. I can smell the sweet scent of her hair from here…

"Look, I'm … sorry… I'm way overreacting. I mean, I'm not.. but.. I am.. you know?" I attempt to explain myself. Mostly to myself.

Euyi sniffles, wiping her tears with her hands.

"There's tissue in the glove compartment." I say. She pops it open and wipes her face with my Kleenex.. Yeah, tissues. You never know when you might get stabbed at. Just in case. I stare at her. What do I say now? What do I do? My face muscles slowly start to relax. God, I miss her. I miss her smile. Her laugh. Her kiss. Her .. yeah… I do.. but I moved on. And that's that.

"Thanks." She says, checking herself in the mirror.

"So…" I blurt, "I mean… did it hurt? Like.. it.. hurt me?"

Euyi gazes at me," God…every single day… every waking minute without you killed me, Dustin.." She looks away, "It still does." She sighs, "I can't believe you're sitting here next to me right now. It's so..surreal."

"Yeah." I say, "This is uh… kind of… a smack in the face."

"I had to see you." Euyi stares at me. Oh man..

"Oh.. ok.." what do I say… I don't know what to say…

"Actually, my cousin told me where to find you." She forces a smile.

"Your cousin? Ok… I'm way confused." Cousin? Huh? Dude… this is too freaky..

"Cameron. Cameron Watanabe." Euyi says.

"What! Cam! Cam is… your cousin?" I spaz. What the hell? And he didn't tell me? I can kill him so lovely right now…. Just fucking wait…

"Yeah. He was in Japan with me and my family just a couple of months ago. I hadn't seen him since… God.. before I can even remember. And he saw the pictures of me and you that I have all over my bedroom. He bugged out." Euyi laughs. "It's a small world, huh?"

"You have… pictures of me..still in your room?" I warmly crack a smile. Wow.. don't tell me that…

"Of course I do." Euyi blushes, "You don't know how happy I was to hear that you and my cousin are best friends. I think he got tired of me asking about you." She giggles, "So… I saved up and .. here I am. Its..uh.. kind of a suicide mission.."

"Woah.. this is all just .. a lot to take in at once….I'm sorry." I sit back.

"It's ok." Euyi rubs my leg. Oh man… oh boy..

"Um.. so… you came here to see.. me?" I ask.

"Yep.. all for you." She giggles, "I'm old enough now to do what I want and make my own decisions."

"Oh." Well… that's not good. So not good.

"Whats wrong?" A frightened look takes over Euyi's face.

"Um… I'm still just.. kinda shocked.." I smile. My stomach hurts so bad right now. I'm a wreck inside.

"Well… I though… um.. we could maybe finish where we left off." Euyi blurts. Oh no.. , "I'll move back here, and…. We can be together again."

"That's a little farfetched, don't you think?" I say.

"No. Not at all. I love you, Dustin Brooks. I never stopped. I always have and I always will. We were meant for each other. I've never felt for anyone what I feel for you. I'm half a person without you. True love is forever, Dustin. No matter what." Euyi smiles at me. Gazing at me. What? No way, dude… uugghhh…this is way too much…

"You can't just come back out of nowhere and expect me to let you back into my life!" I bark, "You just can't do that dude! That's bogus!"

"Love conquers all .. I love you so much." Euyi grabs my hand in hers. She throws a flirty smile my way, "Plus.. you're even hotter than ever !"

"Why am I finding this all so offensive?" I ask out loud, "Look.." I sigh, "I love you.. despite the hate.. and fucking anger I have towards you… I love you. And I always will. I cherish the memories I have of you, and I wouldn't trade them for anything else in the world… but.."

Euyi's glowing smile turns into a nervous glare.

"..I'm in love with someone else now..and you know… I really think she's the one.. no.. I know she's the one. And no one is ever gonna take her place. I'm finally, truly happy. I'm sorry." I let go of her hand.

"Dustin. Don't you see? I waited for you.. we never even officially broke up! So, that means that you're still mine and I won't give you up without a fight!" Euyi barks. Oh, dude… this bitch is crazy…

"You waited for me? Dude, I'm not the once who just…peaced out, like.. like it was nothing! We are not together anymore! And you made that decision 3 years ago when you boarded that plane without telling me! You ruined this! Now deal with it. I have a girlfriend." I vent.

"How can you say that? I'm your first true love! You still love me Dustin, you said it yourself!" Euyi cries.

"Yes, I still love you... You will always have a place in my heart. But, I'm in love with someone else." I say.

"We took each others virginity! We shared the purest act of love! Doesn't that mean anything to you?" Euyi scolds.

"Look… Euyi.. you're lucky I'm even giving you the time of day , right now.. which reminds me… I gotta go." I glance at the time on my cell phone.

"Can I call you?" She begs.

"That's not such a good idea. Maybe its better if we just leave this alone. I'm sorry." I try to say it as kindly as possible.

"Dustin.. I just-"

"I'm really sorry." I open my car door and climb out. I motion for her to follow me.

"I'm not going anywhere until you give me your number. Give me another chance." She begs with her arms crossed.

I lean in my car, "No, you really gotta get out of my car." I laugh. I'm not kidding, dude…

"Dustin, please… I just-"

"You gotta get out. Now." I say sternly. This chick is crazy..

"Fine." She pouts. She climbs, angrily out of my car and slams the door. Ouch.. harsh..

"Hey! Don't get pissed at my car!" I kid.

"Whatever, Dustin. I'll see you around." Euyi says, walking away. She looks back at me with an evil smirk, then keeps walking. Her head down.

What the fuck was that?

My adrenaline is going ape-shit. My heart rate, speeding. How do I even begin to make of what just happened? How does she come of out nowhere like that? Euyi… my first love. My first… everything. A piece of me wants her to come back. To stay here. A piece of me wants to take her up on her offer. No questions asked. She can come back to me and stay with me forever. Just to hold her one more time…. But no! No way! Never! Tori makes me so happy.. I love her. Fuck this! Fuck Euyi! I don't care how beautiful she is! Oh dude….

And now I have all this crazy stuff floating around in my head to deal with for the rest of the day. My nerves are going insane. My blood boiling and my skin tingling. And not in a good way. I'm way short of breath. What the hell is going on? And to think if she had come just a couple of months earlier, I would've melted in her tiny little hands. Uugghhh.. I cant even think straight right now. I turn to walk back into Storm Chargers. I sigh as I cant help but turn around to watch Euyi walk away from me…. For the last time.
