Dear Diary,

It's been awhile.

I have so much to write about; but where do I begin?

Well we'll start with this: Izumo hurt me very badly. I've never felt so betrayed in my life.

Let me explain what happened. He hangs out with a rather questionable group of individuals who spend their time drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, and speeding down the freeways 'because it's fun'. I'm sure by now, Diary, you know how I feel about breaking the 'rules of the road' from my incident with poor Kuri...

Either way, Izumo thought it might be fun to go on one of their high speed little chases and spend the entire night doing crazy non-sense like that. Turns out there's a few trashy girls who hang out with that group of guys. Needless to say, I ended up hearing about how they were both drunk out of their minds and basically got it on in the backseat of one of Izzy's friend's cars.

Izumo, the perfect gentleman, cheated on me. He didn't just hold hands or flirt with another woman; he straight up screwed some piece of trash. Needless to say, the fact that when intoxicated he was willing to go further with some stranger than he ever was willing to do with me, well... that upset me. Ontop of all of that, he cheated on me. How can that ever be forgiven? How can you say 'it's alright, I understand' and just let it go?

I don't know how, I've never been in this serious of a relationship before though, so I figured I'd break it off before it got too bad.

Love notes in my locker, flowers at my doorstep, letters by e-mail; he's really trying here, but those cute little things won't make up for the horrid decisions he made, regardless of how intoxicated he was.

In the name of love,

Chihiro.

Looks like things aren't doing too well for our little heroine. Maybe something good will happen soon.
