Ice: Here's part 3 of 6. Love Song and Painted On My Heart can be switched around, but you have to read them first to know what's going on. This is Mai's POV. I still don't own anything either. Just imagine the song playing in the background.


One warm evening close to dark, a girl stood outside her car looking at the ocean. It made her calm as she watched its rolling blue waves. She started to remember her life back when she met Joey for the first time. She couldn't bear to face him after what she had done with the Doom organization.

She knew she had caused pain and suffering to everyone. As soon as she could face her demons of the past she would confront them. For now, she proceeded to hitchhike her way out of town. She remembered the last song she heard on the radio before being dumped off at the coast. It was called Runaway. Perfect, she thought, just what I needed to hear.

"I wish I had a home to run back to. If I go back now, they'll hate me", she thought.

"They know I would never mean them harm. They'll doubt me for sure now."

"I have to be a runaway. I'll go back when the time is right."

"I can barely face anyone on the streets for what I've done."

"Oh, Joey, I'm so sorry. Maybe you'll forgive me one day."

"I hope I didn't hurt Valon when I left either."

"One day I'll come back and fess up to what I've done."

"I'm such a fool. I had everything I could ever dream of back in Domino and now it's all gone."

"I need a job. Anything to get me away from this."

"I wish I never did this. I want to go back even though I can't."

"I wish I could see Joey's face one last time."

As she said this, she saw headlights from a car in the distance. I could use another ride, thought Mai as she prepared to lure the driver. A minute later, the driver was almost to her. She could see through the windshield. She saw his face and gasped.


Ice: Let me know if it's good or not while I work on the next one. Please review!
