Sad to say, this is the last chapter people. Depressing isn't it!!!

I just want to say thankyou to all the readers that stuck with this from the beginning.

Now I own Dannie but nothing else.

Chapter 17

"HUH!" I heard someone yell as I came out upon the steps that lead down to the soccer field.

I looked down to see his head of brown hair bobbing up and down as he ran across the dark grass field, soccer ball rolling in front of him, the moon light hitting both, making it look like a dream.

A smiled spread across my face, as I knew just where he had to be, because I was the same way about this. The soccer field cleared my mind, and that is what he needed.

I watched as he made a goal on the opposite side of the field while I slipped off my high heels, unable to stand in them any longer, and I didn't want them to make any noise.

I quietly started to head down the steps as I saw him collapse down on the field, sobs coming from his mouth. Man, that hurt me a lot. Out of the time I had known him, he didn't seem like the crying type. But he was crying right now because of me.

I dropped my heels on the grass before I stepped onto the field. I loved how the cool soft prickly surface felt against my feet as I stepped across the field.

I forgot everything though as I made my way over to him, not really caring for anything, just wanting him to stop crying.

When I was right behind him, I realized that he was on his knees, hands over his eyes as he cried out into them. I slid my hand into his soft luscious hair, trying to calm him. I loved how it felt in between my figures.

My movement seemed to startle him. He shot up on his knees and turned his head around to look at me. His eyes where swollen red, his faced covered with streaks of wet and dry tear trails; he looked horrible. It hurt me. It hurt me at how upset he was, how much pain he was in and it was my fault.

"What are you doing here?" he asked in a husky voice from crying so much.

I moved my hand to his cheek, rubbing in with the palm of my hand. His eyes closed and a small smile spread his lips as he leaned into it.

"Why do you torture me so?" He asked through his lips silently.

"What do you mean?" I asked as I moved to sit on the ground, taking my hand away from his face. He opened his eyes and his lips went back to a frown, wishing that my hand were still there.

"I mean... even before I met you, I knew I was in love. Odd telling me all about you, about how big a fan you are of soccer, how good you are. EVERYTHING! The problem was I was supposed to love Yumi, not some one who I would probably never meet. So I forgot about what Odd said, until he started to show pictures of you to me. That only made things worst, causing me a Yumi to grow distant and her to find William." Taking a moment's breather to choke back more tears, he continued.

"After that was when he asked me to come and visit where he lived when summer came. That led me to meeting you. You were beautiful, even more in sight, but I'm not suppose to feel that way. I HAD to love Yumi. That was the way things where suppose to be. So then I had to hate you, hate you with every last fiber in my body for the two weeks I was there, and then go back to forgetting you again when I went home and then back to school. Yumi and I where growing closer again, until you came again, taking my heart without even asking. All I could still do was hate you, and hate you, and hate you. But that kiss, that kiss changed everything. I knew I couldn't hate you anymore, I knew you had my heart and there was no way of getting it back, even if I pretended to hate you."

"I chose the wise choice; I fell in love with you while you still hated me from me being such a jerk. That's where it hurt. That is where the torture began. With you and Odd going out, and I couldn't take it! I was in love for you only to love someone else. Each moment I saw you with him just hurt me more and more. You broke the heart that you took from me. But that one moment on Lyoko gave me hope, just a little. But taken away again."

I sat there, taking in everything he said, analyzing it, understanding it, except for one piece. "What kiss?" I asked, not understanding what he meant by that or if it happened.

He shook his head with a small smile and gave a little laugh.

"I should have known that you wouldn't remember that. It was before you became part of the Lyoko team. There was an attack where Xana set his monsters into the real world. I was left behind to make sure no one got hurt. You had been sitting in the woods, trying to relax from the soccer game the day before. One of them came up to you, ready to shoot you, and then I destroyed it. I grabbed your hand and we ran to get away from anymore that could be coming. I saw one coming our way though, causing me to tackle you into a bush to hide you and me. When it left, I looked into your eyes and you looked into mine. We kissed before we went to the past and you not knowing it happened, but me remembering everything," He said, explaining it all in a daze, remembering the moment as if it was yesterday.

I stayed silent, not sure what to say. I couldn't remember any of it, as much as I wanted to.

"So what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Odd at the dance?" He asked as he came down to earth, his smile fading as he looked to the ground.

"Why should I be with him when I don't love him," I replied, knowing that I was speaking the truth. I knew that I was in love, in love with the Ulrich Stern. The Ulrich Stern that had been a jerk to me, the one that had always seemed that he thought that he was better than me, the one I had danced in the pail moon light with, the one who had shown me Lyoko, the one who supposedly was my first kiss, the one that I thought about all the time, the one that sat in front of me.

His face had gone to shock as his head had shot up to look at my face. "You love me?" he asked quietly, almost silent.

I gave a small smile and a nod of the head to answer his question. I was surprised at what I got though. In mid nod he had grabbed my face softly with his hands, causing small sparks to spread through me. This caused me to open my eyes in shock and look into his face, caught in his beautiful brown eyes. Slowly he moved towards me, closing his eyes as our lips met.

The kiss felt amazing! He felt perfect to me, like he completed half of my soul as we kissed. I slowly moved my hands around his neck to soon wine them into his hair that I loved the feel so much. We spread apart soon though, even though we both wanted more.

He rubbed his thumb on my cheek, a smile on both of our faces.

"So are we together?" He asked as he moved his hand down to pull me into his lap.

"I think so," Was my simple reply as I looked up into his loving eyes.

"Great," He spoke before kissing me again.

As much as I loved soccer fields before, I love them even more now.

Reveiw and tell me if you like it or not. I want ALL the opinions on this. How I could have made it better, what I should write next, what should I don next time to help you understand better, ANYTHUNG!!! JUST TELL ME!!

I am sad to have this come to an end. I loved writing it. But all great things come to an end at one piont.
