Skip to tomorrow:

I stood nervously in front of the amusement park, waiting for Kise to arrive. Glancing at the watch, I bit my lips. What if he decides not to come? What if he laughs at me? What if-

"Mae-cchi!" Kise shouted, running up to me. He grinned, and I could hear my heartbeat beat faster. Kise had a simplewhite shirt and gray jacket, with jeans. Also, he had on a brown fedora."You look really pretty Mae-cchi!" He grinned, looking at my outfit.

"Thanks," I smiled softly. I had on a white shirt, a dark blue skirt and a small belt fitted around my waist. Since we were going to go to an amusement park, I decided to wear white sandals. Comfort over fashion, is what I say. My brown hair was in two low pony tails, so that it would not get in my way.

"Let's go, shall we?" Kise grinned, pulling me by the hand into the park. My face turned red when I glanced at our joined hands. It really felt like a date...No! Snap out of it Hisako! This is only a friendly outing! "Where do you want to go first?" Even before he said that, my eyes were on the roller coasters. Kise followed my gaze and laughed, "Alrighty then~! Let's go on all of them!"

I laughed at that, "All of them?"

"All of them," he agreed cheerfully, his golden eyes gleaming with happiness and a bit of mischief.

"What are we waiting for then?" I grinned. Kise cheered and dragged me to all of them. A bright smile was on my face as I followed him. I'm glad. He looks so cheerful. It's as if their breakup never even happened.

Somehow we managed to go on all the rides, and decided to get some good ol' carnival grub. Hours on roller coasters do that to you.

I sighed in bliss as I bit into my cotton candy. "Oh yeah! I forgot, you really like cotton candy, don't you?" Kise said out of the blue.

I glared at him playfully, "So what if I do?"

"Nothing~! You just look so cute when you're eating it, that's all~!" Kise grinned. My face erupted in flames, as I looked at my cotton candy and resumed eating. "Ah! There's a little bit right here~!" he said, his thumb brushing the small piece away. If possible, my face turned redder from the close proximity.

"T-thanks," I managed to stutter.

"Mae-cchi! Look, there are some really cute stuffed animals there!" he shouted, pointing at the booth that had stuffed animals. I had to admit, they were really cute, especially the golden labrador. As we walked closer to it, I saw that it was ball shooting booth. Taking out some money, he asked the person at the booth, "Can I play?"

"Yeah, whatever," the guy said, not really caring. He looked up and when he saw me, his bored expression suddenly turned into a smirk. "Hey there cutie, would you like to play? I'll give you a discount if you give me a kiss, right here." He winked at me, tapping his lips.

My face scrunched up in disgust, and shook my head no.

"Aw, don't be like that. You know you want to," he sneered at me, looking at my ahem, boobs.

I crossed my arms over my chest, attempting to cover them, my face turning red with embarrassment. "Knock it off," Kise growled darkly. I looked at him as he stepped in front of me. His yellow eyes were narrowed as he glared at the person.

"Whatever," the guy snorted, "Bitch." he muttered. Uh oh, Kise looked as if he were about to snap. I placed my hand on his as an attempt to calm him down.

"It's fine," I muttered.

"It's not!" he growled.

"It's really fine. It's okay...Ryou-chan," I mumbled. I looked at the ground as my the tips of my ears turned red. I haven't called him that since the beginning of middle school. Well, it seemed to do the trick as he calmed down.

"You haven't called me that in a while," he smiled at me. Turning to the guy he said, "One try."

"As if you could do it," he rolled his eyes, "If you shoot one basket, then you get a small stuffed animal. Five, you get medium. If you shoot all ten baskets, then you can get a big one. You get 10 tries."

"Mae-cchi, can you pass the ball to me?" Kise asked. I nodded and passed the first one to him. Almost immediately he caught it and threw it. SWOOSH! It fell through through the net, landing at the bottom.

The guy gaped at it before muttering, "It's just a fluke."

I smirked at that, passing him the next ball. Again and again, it went sailed through the air before landing in the net. Nothing but the net, the ball didn't even touch the rim.

The guy at the booth scowled before grumbling, "Take whatever one you want." I glanced at him curiously. Which one was he going to pick? Kise scanned the stuffed animals before his eyes brightened.

"I want that one," he pointed to it. I narrowed my eyes, trying to see it. Which one did he choose? I couldn't really tell- I screamed a little when something was pushed onto my face.

"What?" Looking at it, it was the golden labrador that I saw.

"You wanted it right? Here you go," Kise grinned, handing the stuffed animalto me. I quickly grabbed it and hugged it close to me, pressing my head against it. It was really big, but I still held onto it. After all, Kise had won it for me. The only reason why I even liked it was because it reminded me of Kise. Golden labradors were always happy and loyal to their partners, just like him.

"Thank you," I mumbled, burying my head into it.

He smiled at me, "No problem. What are you going to name it?"

"Ki-chan, so that it's a reminder that you won it for me."

Kise smiled at me, and ruffled my hair. Pouting, I followed him.

We walked around the amusement park, the sun was about to set. The perfect time to go on the ferris...My eyes widened as I saw what was in front of me. I dropped the stuffed animal. "Mae-cchi, what-?" I wrapped my arms around him tightly, surprising him. After a second, he wrapped his arms around me. "Mae-cchi? What's wrong…" His arms fell slack. No no no! Please don't look! But it was too late. I looked up and immediately the first thing I saw was Kise's heartbroken look. My heart cried out to him. I wanted to do something to stop it, but I couldn't.

In front of us was Yuriko hugging another guy, laughing at something he said. She glanced over in our directions and promptly froze. Her eyes met Kise's and then looked at me. Almost immediately, she turned around, wrapped her arm around the guy's and walked away.

"Kise-kun…" I mumbled, looking at him. I could see his eyes glaze over with tears, a pain screaming within them.

"It's okay, Mae-cchi," he tried to say, but his voice cracked at the end. "I'm sorry. Let's go on the-"

I pulled on his arm, "Why don't we go home? I'm getting pretty tired after all, we did go on all those rides." His face looked relieved as he nodded. My heart broke as I picked up Ki-chan. I lightly pat it to brush away the dust. He really did still love her, didn't he. The smiles that he gave me, the things that he did...he was trying to forget her by pretending that I was her, wasn't he? He probably didn't like even enjoy...whatever this is. I am such a fool, falling in love with someone that already love someone else.

Against my own will, tears started to form and fall down my face. I lowered my head against the stuffed dog, following Kise a few feet away. "Mae-cchi? Why are you crying?" he whispered.

Shit. "I'm crying for your sake. Since you won't cry, I'll cry for you," I tried to smile, lying between my teeth. My heart screamed at me, telling me to confess, but I ignored it. Push it down, push down the love that will never be returned.

His eyes softened with sorrow, "Thanks, Mae-cchi." Don't thank me! I'm being so selfish! This isn't why I'm crying! Why can't you realize the horrible person that I really am? Im a selfish person! Why can't you just hate me?

I shook my head, "It's fine." It's not fine! Why can't you see how much you're hurting me by being nice to me?!

We walked home in silence. Kise's hands were in his pockets, staring at the ground as we walked. I was tempted to reach out and hold his hands like we did today, but I stopped myself. I'm just the replacement until he falls in love again. I can't let myself fall any deeper. But that sounded empty even to myself. There was no way I would ever stop falling in love with him.

"Goodnight," I whispered to him. But I doubt he could hear me within his own barrage of emotions. I was right, he simply walked past me into his own house. My clutch on my stuffed animal tightened but I refused to cry. Crying isn't going to change the situation. He will never love me. I promised anyways, to give up on him after today. Today...would be the last time where I would love him, even if it would pain me to do so. His happiness...his happiness is more important.

I fell asleep that night, holding the Ki-chan close to me. For the first time in a while, I didn't go to sleep with tear stains on my face.
