What if we didn't meet the way we did before? That's a question I constantly asked myself. I can't help but feel miserable. I know, what retard wouldn't feel miserable after breaking up with their boyfriend? But that's beside the point. I felt it becoming more and more difficult as the time goes on and I sit here waiting for him. It's stupid really. It's my fault that I lost him to begin with.
I shouldn't have let my pride and anger get in the way. Even still I miss Toshiro so much. I know back then I would bounce back up and think how stupid of me to waste my time and energy over a guy, but Toshiro is different. I'm different – now.
It's been years since I let myself be hard to the bone. In any case I'll continue waiting here for the day he'll come back. I know he will because our feelings for each other are as strong as it could get. Not a single lousy argument could bring us down. I'm sure of it.

Hitsugaya steadily walked down a road trying to avoid any possible place he could bump into Karin. It's been days since she let him go. He hasn't bothered to go and check on her. Why should he? He is free now. Karin did let him go. That meant he is free to do what ever he liked. So why isn't he?
Hitsugaya just didn't have it in him to go on his own, see new places, meet new people. What was the point? The only reason why he was still in the human world was because of Karin. He cursed to himself thinking of how much of a jackass he was for hurting her like that. He was her boyfriend. He wasn't supposed to hurt her. In fact he was supposed to take care of her and not make her worry. But he did just the opposite of that. For that, he officially hated himself.
He also didn't have the guts to go back to her and apologize. He missed her so much. More than anything. He had loved her and he still did. He would give up anything and everything for her.
Hitsugaya silently halted as he realized that he was standing right in front of the Kurosaki residence.
It was only a matter of time when Soul Society finds out that he over stayed in the human world having no intentions of returning to his previous life. He knew he was already in trouble but he refused to be away from her any longer.
"Toshiro?" a voice said.
Hitsugaya whipped around standing face to face with the emotionless soccer ace before him.
"I'm sorry," they both said out of the blue. A small grin played across their faces as a faint blush emanated on their cheeks. The feeling of butterflies in their stomachs appeared unexpectedly once again.
Karin's hands began to feel a bit clammy just as it felt before when she first met him. Her heart thumped louder and more violently the longer he stood there beside her. Unable to contain herself any longer she jumped to Hitsugaya and glomped him. Hitsugaya felt the warmth of her body enveloping him protectively and lovingly.
"Please Toshiro I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me," a whole water fall of tears escaped from her dark gray eyes and poured down her pale cheeks as she continued to apologize franticly for being such an idiot.
"It's alright Karin. It's alright," he whispered back.
In that moment, Hitsugaya knew he wouldn't ever let her go. That was his vow.
