Everything was changing so quickly. She wanted Toji, right? This is who she has fought for, pined over, longed to be with…
But why, as soon as they find themselves alone the passion she felt between them was gone? Where has everything gotten to?
She was becoming so fed up with her feelings jumping back and forth between Toji and Kiley. Maybe I should just drop the both of them and try to find something new. But wasn't that giving up? She has worked so hard to be with Toji, but Kiley has spent so much time helping her. Was there anyone else? This was becoming so complicated.
Now she finds her self on a beach, holding hands with Kiley. Has this finally settled; is this the man she will be with? She would feel more relived if she knew everything had calmed down.
An image of Sae popped up, shattering all thoughts of a normal steady relation ship. It was Sae's fault, wasn't it? She ruined everything, yet somehow it all worked out for the best. She's with Kiley now, and nothing short of Sae could possibly change that. And wasn't it Sae who made this possible?
It wasn't till the image started talking to her that Momo realized Sae was standing in front of her with a questionable grin.
"Are you happy now? I hope this is what you wanted. You did tell me that Kiley was the one you wanted in the first place." Sae had a shine about her that Momo didn't often see. Momo could not resist a lopsided grin. After all they've been through, all the wrongs Sae had caused, Momo could not hate her. It was quite the opposite. She recognized Sae as a lost girl who was finally turning around. Maybe this friendship can work.
"That couldn't have possibly been your plan from the beginning. So don't act like everything turned out fine because of some master plan you concocted." It was so faint, but Momo noticed a slight blush taint Sae's generally pale skin.
"Every genius makes a few slight errors along the way. But so long as everything turns out right in the end, doses it matter how it happened?" She stuck her tong out, teasingly, to emphasize her light manner on sever rather serious subjects.
Momo could not find a way to respond without bringing up their painful past together. The lies, stealing, cheating, faked rape, black mailing photographs, and scams. It was all too soon and far too hurtful. Thinking everything over caused a part of Momo to wonder why she wasn't pounding Sae's face into the pavement at this very moment.
Luckily Kiley was able to lighten almost any mood. "I found the greatest little ice cream shop!" he screamed as he made his way back to the girls. "Let's hurry before theres a line." His childish approach brought Momo back to the present with a smile upon her face.
Maybe Sae was right. This could be the start of a loving relationship with Kiley, and a new found friendship with an old rival. At least now, after the hurricane of troubles she had faced, Momo felt ready to take on any new challenge. After all, there couldn't possibly be a weirder situation then the ones she has already overcome.
Sorry for the blatantly obvious foreshadowing. We all know what's going to happen; it's just a matter of time before we get there.
Sorry it took me so long to come up with a new chapter. For a while I just thought of giving up the story since I prefer to just read what everyone else wrote. But sometimes there's no one else out there that is willing to write what your in the mood to read.
