Okay, so I took a long time to update. Its because my computer got messed up and lost the document. So I had to restart and all that crap. But now I think it's a little better than before.

Cloud and I kissed for a long time. For almost five minutes the two of us kissed, and then we broke apart quickly.

"I'm sorry." Cloud said. "You're just such a pretty girl…and I think I love you."

"Thanks," I said. "I think your….cute too…." I blushed.

I shouldn't have done that, Cloud said to himself in his mind. It didn't feel right. And besides, isn't there somebody waiting for me…back at…that place? Cloud could remember her voice perfectly, as if it was drove into his mind a million times. He just couldn't remember what her name was…He couldn't even remember what she looked like….

Oh well. Cloud thought, deciding to put his fluttery mind to a rest for awhile. I'm sure she wasn't important.

Cloud's kiss was….amazing. Just amazing. I felt like….wow whenever he touched me. And whenever we kissed, I felt like nobody else in the world could lay their hands on me and hurt me. And that was all just from one kiss. If that's what one of Cloud's kisses brought…imagine all the rest….if he's truly telling the truth that he loves me. But off of love for now.

I stared at Cloud. He seemed deep in thought about something. Something important. So, I paced around the alley for a while as the sunset began, and the sky turned a mix of beautiful colors. Finally, Cloud spoke again.

"Sorry," he said. "I was lost in thought about…..the place I came from. Home."

Home….Crap…I had to get home! I pulled my watch out of my pocket. 3 AM. Damn….Dad would go crazy if he was home.

"Cloud, we've got to get back to my house. I'm not sure if my dad will be able to see you, since your from a different world, but your staying even if he can."

"What's the sudden rush?" he asked.

"My dad. He's basically a drunkard, and if I'm not in bed when he gets home, he flips. Big time."

"I see…" Cloud said. "Well, I I'll find a place to stay. I don't want to take the risk of you getting in trouble. Do you have a cell phone?"

"Yeah," I replied. "Why?"

"I can call you in the morning." he said. I jotted down my number on a piece of paper, folded it, and handed it to Cloud. "Here's mine." he said, handing me a piece of paper. I stuffed the paper in my pocket and got onto Cloud's motorcycle. He drove me through the streets and around to my house. As he pulled into the driveway, the headlights of the motorcycle hit the garage door. That's when I noticed it.

Dad's car. I was screwed. Big time.

"Thanks, Cloud." I whispered. I got off of the motorcycle, ushered him away quickly, and walked around into the backyard. Luckily, the window to my room was open. I slipped inside and closed the window. Just as I stepped inside, the door opened.

"Aika?" came a voice. Strangely enough, the voice was calm. A little too calm for my liking. As I guessed, my father stepped into my room. A half full beer bottle was in his hands, and a cigarette and lighter in the other.

"Uh, yeah?" I replied to my father.

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" he suddenly screamed. His face got extremely red, and he took a long swig of his beer, finishing the bottle.

"Um, I was…out with some friends."

"LIKELY STORY, AIKA!" he yelled. Dad clenched his teeth tightly. This wasn't a good sign. He clenched his teeth, and beer bottle harder. He then got so angry he threw the beer bottle at the wall. It flew fast, and with great intensity. When it finally hit the wall, it smashed into humongous pieces that flew around the room. One hit me in the arm, and made a deep cut. Another flew right under my eye and made an extremely long line right under my eye. Another flew at me, and made a line that went down, directly under the other cut on my face.

The blood quickly dribbled down my face, and I quickly lifted my hand up to cease the bleeding. Now I would probably have a T shaped scar on my face and a scar on my arm. Dad walked closer to me.

"Where have you been, Aika?" he asked. I could tell he was drunk. He was slurring his words heavily.

"I already told you!" I yelled.

"Don't lie to me, Aika." he said. He grabbed me by my left arm. He gripped it hard, and more pain shot through my body.

"Let…go of me!" I yelled. I shrugged my arm out of his grip and landed a punch to his cheek.

"Damn it, Aika…I could get you in some serious trouble for that…you could get taken out of this house 'ya know."

"See if I care, bitch!" I yelled angrily. "Any place in the whole world is better than this place!" Dad stormed out of my room. Once he was out the door and headed back to the bar, I walked to the bathroom and took some cloth. I wrapped the cloth around the still bleeding cut on my arm, and placed two bandages on my face. I hurt so much…..the pain was almost unbearable.

I need to get out of here I thought. Too much crap happens here. I don't need this. I don't need dad. All he ever does is throw beer bottles at me and hurt me. It's not like he's life changing in anyway.

Deciding to put my mind off of my father, I pulled out my crappy silver cell phone that turned off by itself and when I did turn it on, a really cool red light also turned on. (. inside joke) I flipped the phone open, I added the number to the phonebook. The phone suddenly became red hot, and I dropped it onto the ground. My hand practically felt on fire. Great. A burn. Another injury to add to the list. The phone hit the ground, and it exploded into a puff of pink smoke. I coughed and fanned the room, and the smoke evaporated, leaving the cell phone on the ground. I bent down to pick it up, and found that my phone now resembled Cloud's phone, only mine was pink.

"Awesome!" I cried, jumping up and down. "This is awesome!" A sudden urge for sleep filled my body. "I'd better go to sleep." I said to myself. I walked into my room, changed into a nightgown, and laid down in bed. I yawned loudly, and a voice struck through my head.

Aika…Find me. Help me, Aika…Please……
