A/N: OKAY! Chapter 18,…Hmmmm….. Well, I had an AMAZING time at camp! It was the most amazing week of my life! I got to see my best friend who I haven't seen in a year (we talked on the phone all year) and it was just gr8 seeing him again! P.s. I forgot how HOT he was!

Eh… Seattle was okay, I guess. It was rather boring and sad because I spent the whole time raving over how I have to wait another whole year to see Ethan (the guy at camp) again. The fireworks on the fourth of July didn't work out ether. The tub that was supposed to shoot the fireworks into the sky was blown to bits! Enough of me, here's chapter 18!

CHAPTER 18!

Oh, Namine…Riku thought holding her hand.

He felt Namine's hand budge a little and his whole body filled with excitement as he watched her eye's slowly open.

"R-Riku…?" He heard her quietly say.

He continued to watch her every move without saying a word.

She sat up and rubbed the back of her head as she looked around at the room she was in, "Where am I?" She said with tiredness in the tone of her voice.

Riku softy laid her back down in the bed, "You should stay in bed." He told her.

"How did I get here?" Nami rubbed her eyes and looked back up at Riku who was hovering over her.

"I brought you here after I found you behind the restroom building by the lake. What happened?" Riku whipped her hair out of her face.

"I've got this terrible headache…All I remember was-!" Namine shot back up in her bed," KIM!"

Riku made her lay back down in her bed," I said stay in bed! Wait-what exactly did Kim do to you?"

Even though Namine's headache was putting a big pain in Namine's head, it all was coming back to her. She began to remember what happened with her and Kim. She soon remembered EVERYTHING.

Namine tried her hardest not to cry…Those words…she thought, those harsh words…

She pulled the blanket over her head….Don't cry….please Namine…DON'T cry…

Kim's words cut deep.

"He doesn't love you. He's never said it, has he?"

Namine felt warm tears fall out of her eyes and role down her cheeks. She could hold it in anymore. It hurt so bad.

Riku heard her faint whimpers and sniffs she was trying to hide from him.

Riku pulled away the blanket to reveal Namine's face to him. Then he saw, she was crying.

She buried her head in the pillow, thinking maybe Riku didn't see her face. But he did.

He sighed to himself, it was killing him to see her so sad. It wasn't right to see someone as sweet as Namine crying. It just…wasn't right.

Namine began thinking to herself, He doesn't love me…I know he doesn't! I'm just another girl.

Riku clenched his fist at the very thought of Kim. She went way too far!

Then he thought, maybe it wasn't her physical actions making her cry, maybe it was words…?

As Namine continued to cry she got louder and louder until she knew now it was obvious Riku knows she's crying.

"Namine…" Riku whispered to himself as he grabbed her hand and forcefully turned her over towards him.

Namine only cried harder as she saw the worry in his eyes.

Then, what seemed like out of no where…she felt his strong arms wrap around her and lift her up against him into the tightest hug anyone had ever given her.

She put her arms around him too and continued to cry, even though she wanted to stop crying.

"Hey, Namine…" She heard Riku whisper in her ear.

"Yeah?" She said then waited for what seemed like forever for his reply.

"I love you." Riku softly whispered as she felt his lips just softly brush over her ear.

Namine gasped at his words.

She didn't have to say a word; he already knew what was tearing at her inside.

She continued to cry, but not of sorrow; of happiness.

"I love you too!" Namine said as she rested in his warm arms.

"I'm sorry if I didn't say it earlier." Riku apologized as he ran his fingers through her hair.

"Riku?" Namine looked up at his face.

"Yeah, what is it?" Riku asked concerned.

"How did you know what I was thinking? How did you know I needed to hear you say I love you?" Namine questioned.

"I didn't know," Riku started," I wanted to tell you. I mean it, I do love you, Namine."

Namine buried her head in his chest," I know that now."

"I have good news." Riku told her.

"Yeah? What is it?" Namine asked looking back up at him.

"I got Kim kicked out of camp, for good." Riku smiled at her.

"Really? That's great!" Namine exclaimed shacking him.

He stopped her from shacking him and said, "What'd I tell you. I'd get rid of her one way or another!"

"I knew you would!" Namine smiled at him and placed her arms around his neck.

"I'll always keep a promise I make to you, Namine." Riku said to her sweetly.

"Thanks." Namine smiled again back at him.

The next thing she felt was his warm lips pressing against hers and his strong arms tighten their grip around her tiny waist.

She softly rubbed the back of his neck and moved his lips as he moved his as the warmth of his tongue heated the inside of her mouth.

He pressed his lips harder against hers and they both deepened the passionate kiss.

After a while Riku pulled away and smiled warmly at her.

"No more crying, okay?" Riku said as he softly and sweetly caressed her cheek with the back of his hand.

Namine grabbed and held the hand he was caressing her cheek with and smiled," Okay. No more crying."

"Um…Riku?" Namine said as he hugged her.

"Yeah?" Riku questioned.

"Can I sleep with you in your room tonight?" Namine asked giggling a little.

Riku grinned, "Of course!"
