Only Time Will Tell
Chapter 4: This Heart
By: Japanime Girl
"Jeremy, I feel awful, I know Ulrich told me not to blame myself but I can't help it" Aelita told him
"Aelita, stop worrying about that" Jeremy said comforting her "What's done is done, beside, if Ulrich told you that, it means that he knows it wasn't your fault"
Aelita sighed "I don't know Jeremy..."
"Look, let's just stop talking about this. I'm pretty sure that Yumi and Ulrich will solve this problem sooner or later" he said
"How do you know?"
"Because, if they truly love each other they won't stand being separated" he said
"I hope you're right Jeremy" she said as she got up "I better be going now, it's almost lights out"
"Uh... wait Aelita"
Aelita turned to him "What is it Jeremy?"
"I... I wanted to tell you something" he said 'This is it Jeremy, just tell her how you feel and get it over with' he thought, he grabbed her hand "Aelita I've been meaning to tell you this for a long time, and I... I think I should just come out and say it" he said
'Is he going to tell me that he likes me?' she thought as she smiled to herself "OK" she said
Jeremy worked up his courage "Aelita... you're really special to me, ever since I met you my life changed for the better... what I'm trying to say is that I..." he stopped when someone opened on the door
"Lights out!" Jim said
"But..."
Jim noticed Aelita sitting on Jeremy's bed "Aelita, go to your room now!"
'Your timing couldn't be better Jim!' Jeremy thought "We'll talk tomorrow Aelita" he told her
Aelita nodded and left his room a little angry at what happened 'I thought today was gonna be the day that Jeremy and I started dating! But Jim had to ruin the moment!' she thought
How can I retrieve your love?
How can I get rid of the pain in my heart?
My world only revolves for you
Yumi was laying on her bed, tossing and turning. It was already one in the morning and she couldn't go to sleep, why? One word... Ulrich 'I can't believe this! The first time I lived this day I was so happy and now... I can't even fall asleep' she thought 'How I wish none of this had happened' she thought
Meanwhile back at Kadic, Ulrich was the same, he couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he wanted to, all he could do at that moment was think of Yumi "What can I do for you to forgive me Yumi?" he asked himself quietly. He shut his eyes and pictured everything that happened
"I can't... we can't stay together after this!" Yumi said
"Don't tell me that Yumi! Please tell me you're joking!" he said
"No Ulrich, I'm afraid I'm not joking" she said "I can't stay with you knowing... KNOWING THAT YOU SLEPT WITH SISSI!" she yelled
"Yumi, please..."
"No Ulrich" she said "I know that you did it to help Aelita, and as a friend I think that's very noble of you, but as your girlfriend... I just can't forgive you"
'I can't forgive you' those words made Ulrich flinch with pain. 'This is all my fault' Ulrich thought 'If I hadn't agreed to do what I did... none of this would've happened...' he thought
'It wasn't as if Sissi put a gun to your head to make you sleep with her' a little voice inside his head commented
'Who asked you?' Ulrich thought
'I'm just pointing out the obvious Ulrich, you're gonna have to win back her trust somehow' the voice said
Ulrich sighed "I can't stay here!" he said and got out of bed, he grabbed his jacket and walked out of his room quietly.
How can I cure this profound hurt?
I feel your breath run through my veins
I'm so connected to you
That I see you even in my dreams
Without you I would die
Yumi had finally managed to fall asleep, but even in her dreams, she could not escape the torture she was living in the real world.
"What did you do? Just tell me" Yumi demanded
Ulrich took her hand "Yesterday... I... well, last night..."
"Ulrich, please stop avoiding the issue and tell me, what did you do last night?"
"I spent... I spent the night with Sissi" he said
Yumi tossed and turned, again she was reliving the whole nightmare in her dreams. Even though it was in her dreams it seemed so real. She finally managed to wake up, sweat all over her forehead. 'Why is this happening to me?' she thought. She got out of bed and walked downstairs to the kitchen to get a glass of water. When she went back to her room, she closed the door and someone grabbed her from behind, covering her mouth to prevent her from screaming.
"It's me Yumi" Ulrich whispered in her ear to stop her from fighting to get free
Yumi shivered as he held her, he finally let go of her "How did you get in here Ulrich?" Yumi asked quietly
Ulrich pointed to her window "It was open" he said
"Ulrich, that's called trespassing! Leave now!" Yumi said angrily
And this heart that you stole when you left me
You left with my kisses, my kisses and my dreams
And this heart is beating slower every day that passes
I am feeling inside of me that this love is still alive
Ulrich shook his head "No, I'm not leaving!" he said "I know you can't sleep because of what's happening to us" he said
Yumi laughed "Yeah, right" she said sarcastically "Ulrich, I've been able to sleep very well" she lied "Now leave"
"Yumi, stop lying!" Ulrich said desperately "Just tell me the truth, I know it's been a living hell to you too since we broke up" he said
Yumi sighed, she felt tears running down her cheeks "Why are you doing this to me Ulrich?" she asked "Why can't you just leave me alone, we already had a talk over this"
"You wanna know why I won't leave you alone?" he asked "Because I know you love me, and I love you too, and I just want us to be together again"
"No Ulrich, I already told you! We can't get together again!" Yumi said
"Yumi, I know what I did is unacceptable, especially since I wasn't forced to do it... but I truly am sorry, and I promise you that I would never do it again" he said
Yumi sniffled 'Just forgive him!' a voice said to her 'No, don't, if he did it once, what makes you so sure he won't he do it again?' another voice said "Ulrich... I..."
How can I calm this profound obsession?
How do I explain my soul that this is over?
Ulrich brought his finger to her lips "No, don't say anything now, just please think about it" he said "If you decide to forgive me, you will make me the happiest guy in the world, but if you don't I will stop insisting." he said
'Should I forgive him?' Yumi asked herself 'One part of me wants to forgive you Ulrich, but every time I decide to do it, another part of me takes over to prevent me from doing so' she thought
I am going crazy for you
That I see you even in my dreams
Without you I would die
Odd walked up to Halyn and grabbed her arm "Halyn, can I talk to you?"
Halyn turned to see him "Yeah, what's up?"
"Come on, let's go talk somewhere else"
He took her to an isolated area of the school "Odd, what's going on?" Halyn asked him
"I need to talk to you Halyn, it's really important" he said
Halyn smiled "About what?"
Odd hesitated for a moment "About... us"
"Us? What about us?" she asked him confused
"I really don't know how to tell you this Halyn..."
"Tell me what Odd?" she asked
"I uh... I... like you" he said
Halyn just stood there looking at him with a shocked expression on her face
"I'm sorry" he said "You probably didn't wanna hear that" he said desperately "Just pretend it didn't happen" he said as he walked past her, but stopped when he felt her grab him "Wait Odd" he turned around and before he knew it, their lips were met in a kiss
"HALYN!"
Immediately Halyn pulled away from Odd and turned to her brother "Haru, what are you doing here?"
That's when Odd woke up, he sat up and looked at the clock, it read 2:30 am. He stretched and pulled the covers off him 'That was the best dream I've ever had in my entire life?' he thought as he looked towards Ulrich's bed "Where in the world could Ulrich be at this hour?" he added, he shrugged and got out of bed. "OK, so it's official: I like Halyn, but... her dumb brother had to ruin my dream!" he yawned and left the room.
As he was making his way outside, he heard someone whispering his name. He looked around and saw a shadow standing behind a corner wall "Who's there?" he asked
"It's me Odd" the person walked towards him revealing to be Halyn
"Halyn, what are you doing up at this hour?" he asked
"I was thirsty and I couldn't sleep" she said "What are you doing up?"
"Me? I uh... couldn't sleep either, I'm heading outside for a walk" he said
"Oh OK, well I guess I'll see you tomorrow" she said
"Unless" Odd said to stop her from leaving "you wanna come with" he said hopefully
Halyn thought about it for a minute
"Of course if you're too tired..."
Halyn stopped him "No, I'm not tired, let's go. I could use some fresh air" she said
'I hope Haru doesn't come to ruin this moment as well' he thought as he remembered the dream
"Odd?"
Odd snapped out of it "Sorry, let's go" he said as he grabbed her hand and walked outside to the starry night
They were both walking with no direction when all of a sudden Odd spoke "Halyn?"
"Hmm?" she let out, admiring the stars in the sky
"Why doesn't your brother like me?" he asked
Halyn turned her attention to him "Why do you say that?"
"Well, he treats me a lot different from the others" he said
'I know why, he thinks I like you' she thought 'And he's right, I like you a lot...'
"Halyn?"
Halyn snapped out of her thoughts "Odd, must be only your imagination" she quickly said
Odd decided to let the matter drop "Do you wanna sit down?" he asked, they were already in the forest
Halyn nodded and sat down on the grass, Odd followed, he turned to see Halyn who was staring up at the stars once again, she sighed "They're really beautiful" she said
"Not as beautiful as you" Odd said and gasped 'Did I say that out loud?' he turned to see Halyn, who had a shocked expression on her face
"What... did... you say?" she asked
Odd was speechless 'What do I do?' he kept asking himself "I... uh..."
Halyn got closer to him and wrapped her arms around one of his arms "Don't worry Odd" she said as she leaned her head on his shoulder
'OK, this is to good... way good to be true' he thought, he laid down on the ground, pulling Halyn with him, he wrapped her in a tight embrace as they both continued staring at the stars.
It's still burning...
While love exists...
The fire will still burn...
"I better leave" Ulrich said "I'll see you tomorrow"
"Ulrich, wait!" Yumi decided to forget everything that was happening between them at that moment and kissed him. "Please don't leave me alone Ulrich" she pleaded "Stay with me tonight"
Ulrich hugged her "Are you sure you want me to stay?" he asked her
Yumi nodded, she pulled back and looked him in the eye "Let's just forget about everything for now" she said as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him for a kiss
The Next Day:
Haru walked to Jeremy's room and began knocking loudly on the door
"I'm coming!" yelled Jeremy from the inside, he put on his glasses, as soon as he opened the door, Haru grabbed him by his shirt "Where is Odd?" he asked him
"Odd? He should be in his room" he said as he tried to escape from his grasp
"He's not in his room! And neither is Halyn... what a coincidence don't you think?" he said sarcastically as he let go of him
"What? You think they're together?" he asked Haru
"No" Haru said "I don't think, I know they're together"
"Look, calm down, let me take a quick shower and we'll go out and look for them" Jeremy said
"SHOWER? There's no time" Haru said "Halyn is my responsibility and she's out somewhere with that scrawny Odd!" he said
Jeremy grinned 'Boy if Odd was here, I know what he'd say' he thought 'I'm not scrawny I'm svelte!' "OK, fine, let's go look for them, we'll search the factory first"
Yumi stirred a little while she slept, waking Ulrich in the process. He stretched and smiled when he looked at Yumi, a minute later, Yumi's alarm clock went off, waking Yumi. She reached to turn it off and opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Ulrich.
"Good morning" he said
Yumi quickly climbed off the bed "Ulrich, what are you doing here?" she asked
Ulrich was confused "What do you mean? You asked me to stay with you last night" he said
Yumi recalled the events that happened "You're right, I'm sorry" she said "But you have to leave now, if my parents find you here, there's no telling what might happen!"
Ulrich got off the bed and walked over to her "All right, I'll leave, but please think about what we talked last night" he told her
Yumi nodded "I will Ulrich"
Ulrich cupped her face and kissed her softly "I'll see you at school" he walked over to her bedroom window and carefully climbed down
Yumi sighed 'What do I do?' she asked herself "Last night was amazing, I missed spending time with Ulrich" she said. She walked towards the bathroom and locked the door "I know what I have to do now" she said with determination as she fixed the water for her bath
Aelita walked out of her room in time to see Jeremy following Haru "What's going on?" she asked him as he went by
Jeremy stopped for a second to grab her arm "Come, I'll explain on the way" he said
When they reached the forest Haru almost had a heart attack when he saw Odd and Halyn sleeping on the ground
"Oh uh, I don't like this one bit" Jeremy told Aelita
Aelita nodded "Things are going to get messy" she said
Haru stomped angrily towards them and shook them violently "I WANT AN EXPLANANTION NOW!" he yelled angrily
