Second chapter! Thanks to the people who read and reviewed :) I really appreciate it. This one ends on less of a cliffhanger, but I hope you'll still look forward to the next chapter. Reviews would be appreciated!

I might be able to update this on Monday, but chapter 3 will probably still come next Saturday.

Chapter 2: Unheard Confessions

Usui's PoV

I don't care anymore. I don't care.

I know maybe Misaki didn't want to kiss him but he just kissed her anyways, but I can't think rationally now. There's nothing to think rationally about. Just look at the facts.

Misaki and Shintani kissed.

I saw it with my own eyes.

I only wish that she were chasing after me right now feeling just as angry and depressed and confused as I am. I only wish that that kiss meant nothing to her. I only wish that Shintani could get out of my life and get over Misaki because she was mine.

But there's nothing I can do about it. Misaki will choose. Misaki will make the right decision. Besides, I just want her to be happy right?

In that moment, the whole world stopped. Right before me, I swear. Every sound I heard was muted, every motion I saw slowed down, I could only hear the solid slapping of my feet against the ground and the faint trail of tears that followed me, sliding down my face.

I'm not supposed to cry. I'm not supposed to cry.

But Shintani wasn't supposed to kiss her either.

I don't know where I'm running to right now. I don't even know why I'm so upset. A kiss shouldn't mean anything. Because once I start thinking straight I'm sure I'll figure out that Misaki was just as surprised at his sudden advance as I was. But maybe she doesn't want to be with me, a perverted outer space alien stalker.

All I know is that there's a throbbing pain in my chest, and that I want Misaki to be here right now.

Misaki's PoV

"Usui! Wait!" I desperately shouted.

But it was only an attempt to shout, because my voice was caught in my throat and I don't know if he'll listen. He probably won't. I don't know why I let Shintani get that close to me in the first place anyways. I'm so confused. I don't get it. What's there to get?

I'm too confused to cry. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel. But I know that I feel torn. Torn, because maybe Usui won't think in is logical, alien stalker way, and think that I like Shintani. Torn, because I don't want to hurt Shintani's or Usui's feelings. Torn, because two idiots are in love with me and torn because I don't know what to do about them.

Come back, Usui. I may never say it…

But I love you.

(Back to 3rd Person)

Misaki desperately ran, her shoes pushing off the concrete, running across the street, dodging cars. The only thing she could pay attention to right now was the bobbing circle of blond hair in front of her. She couldn't stop running, or she might never catch up to him. She couldn't look away, or she might never find him again.

Every sound she heard was magnified. She could hear the angry smacking of Usui's feet, though he was barely within seeing range of her. She could hear her heart pounding unevenly, because it didn't know how to pound anymore. She could hear her breath catch in her throat every time Usui turned around a corner. She could hear the wind whispering, "Don't give up."

None of them paid the slightest attention to what time it was, or how much time had passed since they had been running. They were exhausted, but they had to keep going. What else was there to do?

Usui was running away from the pain, and Misaki was running because of it.

It was only when they realized that it was pitch black that they stopped running.

"USUI!" Misaki screamed, and collapsed on her knees, crying, "Baka Usui… Come back, Usui, come back…"

The teardrops rolling down her face dripped on the floor rhythmically while her bloodcurdling scream continued to echo.

Usui silently stopped to catch his breath. He sat down on the floor and looked up at the sky. "Why?" he muttered, "Why…"

"Misaki?" Shintani came around a corner, "Misaki? I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" he called.

He saw a still figure sitting on the floor.

"Misaki?" he shook her.

"Shintani, why did you do that," she asked bitterly.

"I'm sorry, Misaki. I don't know."

She choked again, and the tears that she had fought so hard to stop began dripping onto the floor again. It was an endless waterfall of tears, washing down her face, trying to cleanse her soul from the pain. Silently, Shintani wrapped his arm around her, but this time only for the sole purpose of comforting her.

"I'm sorry."

Silently, each of the three fell asleep, thoroughly and completely lost in their own conflicts.

I love you, Usui thought, I hope you know that.

In her sleep, Misaki quietly uttered, "I love you, too."
