( Albel's POV )

It's so dark outside, maybe it's going to rain. So much the same as my mood today. Dark and gloomy. And it's all because one person, Fayt Leingod. The one who changes my life drastically. That fool... he makes me start to trust him, and then he left me all alone again here.

Today is the day. He will go back to his own world with that annoying, clingy little bitch. I hate her, why she always gets his attention. He's mine to begin with. Well, I never fond of his friends anyways. They're all worthless maggots.

Maybe his presence really influences my existence. Maybe, just maybe, he's the one who gives me the reason to live. I've never found someone who can defeat me that easy before, it's not that there's anyone who had defeat me before beside him. That bastard… Why did he do this to me?

Likes people who need oxygen to live; I need him to continue my life. Damn! Since when I become sentimental like this! It's all thanks to him. I continue to sulking and glaring at the window. Then, suddenly, someone knocked the door.

"Albel, open up! I need to talk to you, NOW!"

"Go away...Your friends are waiting for you right?"

"I don't care! All I want is to talk to you! Why are you mad at me?"

"I'm not mad!"

"Yes you are! Now open the door or I'll force my way in!"

I stall still, didn't even move a bit. He continue to banging the door. I don't care, just do whatever he want. I don't want him to leave! I can be such a stubborn bastard if I want. Be that way, I won't bothering myself to open the door for him anyways.

"ALBEL! You've forced me to do this, Blade of Fury!"

That IDIOT! Did he really want to destroy this castle? Not that I mind though, this is the castle of Aquaria we're talking about. The next minutes, he stromed into the room through the broken door. I keep my eyes on him, but didn't say a word.

"Albel!Are you mad because I'm going to leave?"

"..."

"Answer me!"

"Why should I?" I smirked "You're nothing to me,"

It seem that the words but him, because the next thing I know, he slapped me hard on my cheek. I glared at him, only to meet his teary emerald eyes. Why is he crying? Then he reached out my hand and put my hand on his chest. I can feel his heartbeat against my palm.

"Albel, can you feel it?"

"No…."

"You're lying,"

"I'm not!"

"Then, why won't you look at my eyes?" He asked softly.

"Because… I can't stand your tears. It's make me hurt to think that you're going to leave me any time soon. It's killing me… I need you Fayt. You make me feel so weak and vulnerable."

"Albel…I'm sorry. I must leave to save my father and Sophia too…"

"Fine! Just go! Forget about what I said before!"

"It's not like that! I don't want to leave you…that is why; I want to tell you that I'll be back after I finished…"

"Liar!"

"I'm not! I'm telling you the truth!'

Without any warning, he threw himself to me, and held me for a moment before he released me again. He grins sheepishly when he saw my frowned expression. Well, of course I was shocked, first he slapped me and then he hug me the next time. How weird…can he even make up his mind? I was going to say something but he put his finger on my lip and shocked his head.

"Don't say anything… I know what you are going to say. But please, trust me. I promise that I'll back, and you know that I always keep my words,"

"I already told you to do whatever you want..."

"Thanks Albel," He smiled and was going to continue his sentence when he heard the blonde ape's voice.

"Fayt! Where are you! We're going to leave now! Maria is started to get impatient you know!"

"Oops…I guess it's the time," he walked to the door frame, and then he stopped again

"Albel?"

"Yes?"

"I need you too, as much as you need me," He smiled again then added "I'm going to miss you… See you soon Albel!"

With that he disappeared from my sight. I just stare at the door frame for a moment, and then I walked to where I sat before. I look through the window again, but this time, with a smile on my lips. I'll be waiting for you, Fayt.
