Molly : No, I'm not dead! lol I'm sorry that it took me over a month to update, but I had a lot of exams and the marks I'll get will decide if I'll be accepted in the program I want in college so it was very important for me to put all of my energy in it.

Thank you for being so patient. I'll update sooner the other times I promise!

I really hope this chapter won't disappoint you. If it does, please tell me why!

K'onix : I did :D

Moonlight Serenity : I'm so happy that you liked it! I have a lot of respect for your work so it's really gratifying to know you liked what I did. I really hope this chapter won't disappoint you.

no name : Yes poor Hilary… I wouldn't want to be at her place.

MarineDweller : Glad to know you liked!

Regin : I hope Hilary will be as you expect her to be in this chapter.

Silvercrimsonshadow : hehe glad to know you enjoyed reading it!

Keiry : I did :P

Distant Storm : Yeah you're right, it's not common to see an entire story in Hilary's POV. I don't think I've ever read one… Anyway I'm glad you found it entertaining.

sweet-ghyny13 : Oh no don't worry! I SO don't think you have to sleep with someone to become a woman. This is really not what I think. I know it wasn't like Hilary to do such thing and that it was pretty low, but I also know how far someone can go to have someone he loves. (but personally I wouldn't sleep with someone to do so) You're right, everyone deserves a second chance. I'm glad you thought Tala and Kai were in character. It's something I always try to do.

.angel.del.silencio. : You are so right. Hilary is a strong girl so I have to make her like this if I want to keep her in character. I really hope this chapter won't disappoint you. If you think Hilary is too this or not enough that please tell me. I don't know if you'll like this chapter because by reading your review, I knew how you wanted this story to be, but I stayed on my main idea. But I think your ideas were good you know and I'll probably use them at some point of this story. Your opinion matters a lot to me. Tell me what I should improve and what are the good points too.

Doc Sarcasm : lol if you kill them, this story will be dead too lol

I WANNA THANK EVERYONE! IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS THAT I'VE DECIDED TO CONTINUE!

I hope you'll enjoy this second chapter!

WARNING : REMEMBER THAT I SPEAK FRENCH SO I'M SORRY FOR THE MISTAKES YOU COULD FIND!

But you know, if you notice that I always do the same mistakes, you should tell me. It'll help me to improve.

My Mistake

Chapter 2 – Someone by my side

I don't know if it's the fact that I'm always alone or that everytime I see a blader he sends me a disgusted look that is the worst. One week has passed since this night. I spent the first days crying and wondering why they all left me like this. I stopped when I realized that Tala would probably be happy to see me hurt. Oh no, I wasn't going to let him ruined my life.

I can't say that I'm perfectly fine, but now I can hold my head high and show them that I don't care. I don't need them anymore. What kind of friends can abandon a friend in trouble? I knew Tyson would be angry since he has (or he had...) a thing for me, but I thought Max, Kenny and especially Ray would understand.

I haven't seen Kai since this incident, but I can't say I'm not relieved. I can stand everyone's glares and mockery, but I'm not sure I'm strong enough to deal with him right now. How could I have been so stupid? Kai isn't the kind of guy to like a girl who sleeps with every guy. He likes strong, independant and mature girls. I did the exact opposite of what he likes. I was such a fool...

"Hilary honey! Someone is at the door for you!" I heard my mother yelled. I wasn't expecting anyone today yet. I slowly made my way downstairs and my eyes widened slightly when I saw Julia from F Dynasty at the porch of my front door.

"I heard about what you have done at the party..." She trailed off. "Look if you're here to tell me I'm a slut or whatever just go away I already heard enough of it." I said glaring at her, but she just shook her head.

"No, I know how Valkov can be sometimes. He did the same with me." I stared blankly at her and she gave me a weak smile. "I just wanted to tell you that you're not alone." I slowly stepped aside to let her enter. "Let's go in my room to talk…" I told her slowly and headed toward it.

It surprised me that Julia came to tell me this. I mean, we practically never talk to each other and we're not even friends. She seems sad… I never saw her like this before. She always seemed to be a strong girl with a lot of self-confidence. I guess I just have to wait and see what happened between her and Tala.

We finally reached my room. She sat on my bed and took a deep breath. "Tala hasn't always been like this you know." I gave her a sceptical look and she rolled her eyes. "Look, if you don't want me to explain that's fine I can just leave." She spat coldly. "No, I'm sorry… It's just… Well anyway go on." She nodded and continued her story.

"I and Tala used to be an item you know." She waited patiently for my reaction which I can't clearly described what it was. "First, it was only about sex. Before an important match we would meet and do it just to relieve our stress. There was no engagement between us." She stopped talking when she saw I wanted to ask her a question.

"Why Tala?" She chuckled slightly before answering. "Do you need glasses? Tala is one of the most sexiest guy ever. I could rape him anytime." She licked her lips. "Having sex with him was always awesome. I could never guess what he'd do to me each time and I was addicted to his touch." I gave her a disgusted look and she smirked at me. "Yeah, well what can I say? He certainly knows how to please a woman like me."

"Anyway, like I said we weren't together at first. I realized I had feelings for him and he guessed it. Even though he'll deny it if you ask him, I'm sure he was in love with me too." I saw tears make their ways at the corner of her eyes, but she brushed them away. "I was going to Russia quite often to see him after the last world championship, but one day, I found him in bed with a blonde whore and it was over. He told me it was my problem that I thought we were together and then told everybody how much of a fool I've been." Her fists clenched and I felt bad for the girl. He didn't only besmirch her reputation, he broke her heart too.

"Thank you for telling me this Julia. I know we have never been really close, but I appreciate what you did." She smiled weakly at me. "So, you want the blue-haired Russian heh? Good choice too. I'd let him take me anywhere, anytime." She smirked and I punched her lightly on the shoulder.

"You're such a sex addicted Julia." She chuckled before becoming serious again. "You should talk to your friends." I looked down at my feet. "I already did and more than one time, but they didn't want to listen. I just don't understand… I thought they would be there for me…"

"They all have their reasons. Tyson is jealous because he would want to be the one fucking you." I gave her a hard look at her choice of words, but she shrugged it off. "Ray can't be near you because of Mariah. She's afraid you'll steal Ray from her. Max is just doing what everyone else does. Kenny doesn't understand since he's too young and well… nerd and he'll do everything Tyson tells him. Kai, well… I never actually understood him so I can't tell."

I nodded as all the information entered my head. "What should I do?" She glanced at me and started to think hard. "I think… You should talk to Mariah. If you make her understand you're not some whore who will jump on Ray to rape him then you'll be able to talk to him after. That could be a good start."

"When are all the teams leaving?" Everyone had been invited for the reunion party held here in Japan, but I knew they weren't staying very long. "You have one week girl." I nodded and she got up. "Look, I must go. I hope you'll be able to sort everything out." I smiled at her and we hugged. "Thanks for everything Julia." She nodded at me and left my room.

You just gave me the strength I needed not to give up…

…

Okay Hilary, you just have to knock on this stupid door and talk to Mariah. But what will I tell her? How am I supposed to make her understand that I'm not a whore and even less a boyfriend stealer?

I think I've been standing here for almost half an hour now. I know I can't screw this. My life was so simple before all this… I took a deep breath and knocked lightly. Nothing… Maybe she's not even there. I sighed and knocked another time, but this time much harder.

I was about to leave when I heard a familiar click. I turned around slowly and my eyes widened at the sight before me. "R-Ray." I stuttered. The neko-jin glared at me. "What the fuck are you doing here?" He asked harshly, but he was whispering.

"Ray? Who's at the door? Come on get rid of him you know we haven't finished our… conversation." I heard the voice of Mariah said. I knew what their 'conversation' was about. Ray was shirtless and sweat was covering his body. He had only put his pants up without attaching them. His hairs were a mess and his breathing was faster than usual.

My cheeks reddened and I looked away. "It won't be long I promise." He told her before stepping forward and closing the door behind him. "What do you want Hilary?" He crossed his arms over his chest and looked down at me. There wasn't any word able to get out of my mouth.

He sighed in annoyance. "Look, I have better things to do so talk or leave." I wasn't used to hear Ray talk to me like that. He was my older brother, the one who was always comforting me when I was hurt.

"I'm sorry… So sorry… I…" I trailed off and looked up at him. I knew my eyes were watery, but I couldn't care less right now. "I know you're ashamed of me and that I disappointed you greatly, but I… I'm asking you this one thing… Can you… Can you stay my older brother?"

"Hilary..." He began, but I cut him off. "I know you don't want to talk to me because of Mariah and that you're scared of losing her if you do. I understand Ray, but I need to know…" I looked down at my feet.

"I don't deserve to be your brother Hil." My head snapped up at this. "Everything you said is true. I still can't believe you really did that, but it doesn't matter. I should have support you instead of leaving you alone. I should be the one sorry. I'll just have to make Mariah understand you're just my friend. I hope you don't hate her, it's just because she doesn't know you. I mean, the real you. Not the one Tala described." I smiled weakly at him.

"Does that mean you're not mad at me anymore?" He smiled back. "Come here…" He put me into a bone crushing hug. I wasn't expecting this to happen so fast. I finally had one of my friends back.

"You fucking whore! Get your hands off my man!" I suddenly felt my hairs being pulled backward and I fell on the floor. "Mariah it's not what you think! Please listen to me!" Ray grabbed her arms before she could hit me and she struggled against him.

"Let me go! Let me show her not to touch my man!" She yelled and glared coldly at me. "Mariah stop!" Ray tried to resonate her, but she seemed deaf by her rage. "Hilary, leave! Please, go away right now!" Ray sent me a pleading look and I did what I was told. I ran as fast as I could toward the exit of the hotel. I put my hands on my ears as I heard her started to cry hysterically. I couldn't stand this sound.

Why did I come? Because of me Ray is now in trouble. I just hope she'll understand. I know she had never really like the idea of me and Ray being so close so it's why every time she was near, I would just leave them alone. Seeing us hugging must have been horrible for her since I don't have the best reputation.

I stopped to run when I pushed the door open and exited the hotel. With all the luck I have, it was sure it would rain cats and dogs. I put my arms around my small body and started to walk slowly toward my house.

Everything is a blur for me now. I don't know what to do. It's better if I don't go pay a visit to Ray for a while. Who should I talk to? Max maybe? Tyson? I just feel like nothing will be like it was before. I have one week…

One week to show them who I really am.

One week to win my friends back.

One week to kick Ivanov's ass.

One week to tell Kai I love him deeply and that I'm the girl he needs.

One week to stop my life from being a nightmare.

A week, it's all that I have…

"Hey Tatibana, you need a lift?" I slowly turned my head and glared at the owner of the voice. "Hn, you may hate me, but you know you'll get a pneumonia if you don't climb in." I raised my eyebrow. "Oh really? And why do you care Ivanov?" He smirked at me. "You'll never have the answer of this question if you don't let me drive you home, Tatibana…"

How was it? Even if you didn't like it, tell me why or else I'll never improve. Thanks again for the reviews. You're all awesome!

By the way, I only saw one episode with Julia so it's possible that she's not in character. If she's not and that you know how she should be, please tell me!
