I know! But i think the best thing about writer's block is that you gotta keep writing and then it comes to an idea you never even thought about! :)

Chapter 4: The Unexpected Past

The summer heat was sizzling in the air. Her golden locks flew in the wild wind. She stared into his dark eyes he stared back. No movements made. They knew the end to their relationship was near so they'll be savouring each and every moment together. For a minute, everything was still, silent, and perfect. But even though how much he tried to conceal how worry he was, it had showed.

She stared at him with such intense love that you couldn't even imagine, and she asked in her ever so soft loving voice, "Are they here?" Her dream shattered when he gave a nod. All that time of hoping to elope together, all that time of planning to escape and go to the wondrous-

Black, the screen was black. The thought didn't proceed in my head properly or quickly enough. I just sat there in front of the computer, which was now shut down. I don't know what to do first. Screaming seemed to be a good idea at the time and place. Alternatively, yell for Natsume to come, which was also very reasonable. How did I get the culprit would be Natsume? Please, I did not surmise that. It's like this, Koko's out to work, I would never shut down the computer without saving and obviously I was in the middle of writing, and that leaves Natsume.

Innocent Natsume. Devilish Natsume. Dead Natsume.

"NATSUME! GET YOUR SORRY BUTT HERE RIGHT NOW!" I screamed out the door, hoping to see that raven headed artist running up the stairs to see what was the commotion about. Rather, he was walking up the stairs calm and collected, and a tad annoyed. When he finally reached my floor in the room I had settled my writing place in, he cross-examined, "What is it little girl?"

"What is it? Look at my surroundings and tell me what's out of place." I said in a very sharp tone. I crossed my arms and was tapping my foot anxiously as he's eyes scanned across the room. Minutes have passed and he still hasn't said a word. He was still gaping around. Finally, he opened his mouth to speak. A fantasized apology ran through my brain foreseeing that's what he would say.

A flat tone came out from his mouth. "Your picture is crooked."

Bewildered, I turned around facing my family picture that was hanging on the wall crooked. However, that totally wasn't what I wanted him to say. Completely different from what came out of his mouth.

I jerked my head back at him, furious as ever. "No, my computer is shut down, DOWN!"

He barely glanced at my computer, "So? Turn it on."

I took deep breathes before I answered, "It was on, but then it shut down when I was in the middle of writing, I suspect you pulled the plug, didn't you?" I glared.

"I did pull a plug,"

"Ha I knew it! Why would you do such a thing? How terribly of a crime have you committed?"

He rolled his eyes. "You're too dramatic; I never knew it was connected to the computer."

I waited. And waited. And waited.

"Is that all?" He asked, he was eager to get back painting but I simply don't care.

"What do you mean is that all? Do you realize you deleted about two hundred pages of my hard work?"

"Don't Microsoft Word recover it for you if an abruptly shut down happens?" Natsume pointed out.

I stayed quiet.

"I'm leaving." He said as he walked down stairs.

I had no choice but to turn on my computer again, this time, he actually put the plug in.

I felt so unfocused I went onto my Skype account hoping to see Hotaru, Sumire, Anna, or Nonoko on. I miss my girls. Luckily, they were all on. Who knew? Especially at two in the morning over there.

When we did the webcam chat, I noticed they were all in different locations, Hotaru was in her living by the fireplace, Sumire was on a plane, Anna was in her bedroom, and Nonoko was in her lab.

"Permy, why are you on a plane?" I asked.

"Shh! Keep your voice down, I don't want to have Koko overhear."

"Perms, Koko is out right now."

"So you're alone?" Anna butted in.

I shook my head, "Natsume's here."

"Who in the world is Natsume?" Sumire asked. From the screen, I noticed the people around her turned to her in annoyance as she whispered a little sorry to them.

"Natsume Hyuuga?" Hotaru questioned.

I nodded my head.

"He's Ruka's best friend, I think he attended Gakuen Alice high school with us."

"He did!" Sumire exclaimed.

Hotaru gave a nod.

"Wait! Hold on, you don't mean the Natsume Hyuuga don't you?" Nonoko asked.

Hotaru nodded again.

"OMG!" Sumire shouted forgetting all the dirty looks people were giving her.

"Wow!" Anna said catching a breath.

"Um…guys who is Natsume Hyuuga exactly?" I asked in a very timid voice. They were freaking out about Natsume, which I have no memory of.

"The guy you had a crush on for three years in high school. I can't believe of all people, you forget?" Sumire said.

Guy I had a crush on… guy I had a crush on… guy I had a crush on…oh my freaking god. I felt the blood in my cheeks rushing like crazy.

"Oh my god. Oh my god" I murmured. Flashbacks of seeing him with this blonde girl flashed, me with my geeky glasses flashed, my confession flashed.

From the computer I heard them all muttered, "She remembers."

"I got to go now." Sumire said, "People are getting pissed." Still in awe of the past, I waved good-bye with the rest of my girls as Sumire logged off.

"I got to go as well." Nonoko said sleepily.

"Same." Anna yawned.

Then it was just Hotaru and me. "Tell me, does he remember you?"

"I-I don't know. I never even thought about high school, about him in my past till now." I say, my voice was cracking thinking about all those three desperate high school experience, only had I changed myself in my senior year. The rest was terrible.

Hotaru gave a small smile. "Maybe there's a reason he's here. Maybe it's fate."

I shook my head. "It can't be."

Good conclusion my dear Hotaru, how can you conclude so precise? But it is just so sad that it won't be the fairy tale that it should be. It's just not the way we do it in Cali.

To those who wonders about my writing schedule. I try to update every week, either on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

Leave a Review :)

With Love,
