I forgot to do the disclaimer! Eeep well, "Shugo Chara!" Doesn't belong to me. All characters belong to Peach-Pit, I just own the plot ^-^ thanks for reading.

Oh, I forgot to mention, in this story, they don't have their charas. They're like normal people. If you can't stand this type of depression stuff, I suggest you read other stories. It's rated "T" for a reason people.

CHAPTER THREE

She ran into the kitchen only to be met by Utau and her other friend Rima standing at the stove with their blonde hair in a messy bun. Amu was thankful that they were always there to help her and pick her up. Utau and Rima were practically the sisters she never had. Utau was more of a big sister type, while Rima was the youngest so she was obviously the little one. That, and the fact that she was the shortest of the three.

The three girls embraced and all sat down to breakfast while they talked. Utau and Rima were determined to break Amu away from this gloomy atmosphere and go shopping like they always did. Amu allowed herself to be dragged out, dressed in actual clothes, and drove to the mall. Every time they turned the corner, they could see couples hand in hand. This was like a blow to the already shattered heart of Amu. All she could think about was Tadase. His soft hair, warm lips, strong arms, and beautiful smile. She kept thinking about how happy they were. Until everything turned to dust.

Utau and Rima could sense Amu's depression coming back. They quickly started talking about things Amu was interested in to keep her mind off of Tadase.

It was working, until the three girls went into a store and smack-dab in the middle was Tadase with his new girlfriend snogging each other's faces off. Amu felt like her already shattered heart just dropped into her deep dark pit of nothing. She felt nothing but pain and sorrow. It hurt. It hurt like hell to know that the man she loved had treated someone else like the way he had treated her. She knew how sweet and gentle Tadase was. He promised that she would be the only one he loves and the only one he would treat like that. Lies. All lies. Here he was, snogging away at some other girl who was much prettier and slimmer than she was.

Note: Just in case you didn't know, snogging is like kissing/making out.
