I am strong.

I am strong.

I am strong.

I am strong.

I am strong.

I am strong.

I am

Crying?

No, I am not strong.

Tadase.... You left me.....

Ikuto..... Where are you when I need you?

I was sobbing now.

No, no. Sobbing was the wrong word.

Snobbing.

Snot sobbing.

I hate you, Tadase.

Flashback:

"Amu-chan? May I speak with you?" Tadase-kun asked.

"Hai!" I replied, smiling. I felt like I was on top of the world. I had the best boyfriend....

"Amu-chan, I feel like I.... I was wrong."

"Huh?" I tilted my head, smile fading.

"I don't love you, Amu-chan. I don't even like you."

I started crying.

"Wh-why? Tadase-kun..."

"I love someone else, Amu-chan."

"Who?" I asked.

"Sayya."

I smiled, a fake smile. "I hope you can be happy with her." And with that, I ran.

End Flashback.

I hate him....

I snob some more, untill I hear tapping at the window.

I wipe off my face and put on a fake smile. I walked to the window, and opened it.

"Hello, Ikuto..."

"What's wrong, Amu?" Ikuto asks, looking at me.

"Nothing," I lie, trying my best to make this smile seem real.

"You were crying..."

"Why are you still here? Just leave!" I yelled.

"It's Tadase, isn't it? I'll kill him...." Ikuto growled.

"No! No, don't kill him... He did something horrible, but I fell into it, right? I should have know... I'm so stupid..."

"Yes, you are."

"Pardon?" I ask, becoming angry.

"I agreed with you. He never loved you! I did! I still do! You are so stupid not to see it, everyone else did! That's Tadase, he uses people, then throws them away!" Ikuto yelled, glarring at me.

"What? Tadase isn't like that!" I yelled back.

"Didn't you just hear me?!" Ikuto shouted. Then he added, quiter, "Amu, he hurt you. Tomorrow he'll talk to you, and smile at you, and flirt with you again- just like nothing happened! Amu, he'll just keep hurting you! I don't want to see you hurt. Ever."

He was frowning.

I started crying again.

"Ikuto," I sobbed, "why are you always here for me?"

He pulled me to his cheast and hugged me tight. "Didn't you hear me, idiot? I love you."

I looked at him. I'm sure that my swolen eyes were huge, but the tears stopped.

"You.... You what?"

He frowned at me. "Are you hard of hearing? I said that I love you."

I sniffed. "I h-heard you! I just..."

Now he was glarring. "What? You don't believe me?"

"Actually, yeah." I smiled. "Are you lying?"

"No..."

"Good. I don't think I could handle another heartbreak. I think I love you, too."

He tilted my head up, and captured my lips. I kissed him back.

I'll have to tell Tadase to go screw tomorrow. I don't care about him. I love Ikuto.
