A/N: OHMERGER, 3K VIEWS. I AM LIKE OVERLY HAPPY RIGHT NOW. LIKE SUPER HAPPY; I COULD HAVE A HEART ATTACK RIGHT NOW XD But if I did, I wouldn't be able to write anymore chapters so I'm hoping I don't get a heart attack. Again, this chapter was not edited (I don't want to cause my editor trouble 8D) so it is not the best. BUT THIS IS WHERE THE CLIMAX IS PEOPLE ~
This chapter is dedicated to the Suicide Provoking Daythingy majigger; I don't know if you know about that, but it's a day where people usually think of committing suicide and stuff. Yes, I did in fact wear a yellow shirt (RIN&LEN ~) and I wrote 'Love' on my wrist when I got home because I forgot to in school. Don't think about committing suicide people, you will be missed in the world. This chapter is also dedicated to the 9/11 accident.
Enough with the sad stuff, LET'S GET ON WITH THE CHAPTER ~ 8D ENJOY
Chapter 12 Julie POV
Today was probably the best day of my entire life. We had gone swimming again, shopping, we ate some ice-cream, and went on the rides at the amusement park. Sure I'm super tired and can't move a muscle without it aching like crap, but it was a good day.
We were in the car, driving away from the glorious beach. Ikuto had his head on my lap and was sleeping.
How cute and peaceful his sleeping face looked. I wondered, did Amu ever see his sleeping face? Or am I the only one? She probably has. His friends (Okita and Mizuki) has already seen his face while he was sleeping, so I bet Amu has seen it too. Of course she's already saw, they probably slept together; I mean, that's what couples do, right?
For a moment, I thought I was something special to Ikuto. But of course, I'm just lying to myself. I've been lying to myself all these days - saying Ikuto loves me, when he doesn't; saying he'll never leave me, when he will. I know that he will come running to Amu, but for the time that we're together, I want to believe that he loves me.
Our whole relationship, is all a lie. Its all fake. One sided love. But I just wish, that Ikuto would only look at me. Only me...
I gently put my hand on his head and felt his hair. Soft, blue hair. I wonder if Amu did this - if she felt Ikuto's hair. She probably did. Ikuto probably felt her hair too. As I looked out the window, my eye lids felt heavy, my head was bobbing back and forth. I leaned on the window and closed my eyes for a moment. 'Just a little nap' I thought.
When I opened my eyes, it was nighttime and the lights were on in the van. 'Are we home?' I asked, not really at anyone.
'I guess so.' Ikuto said sleepily, lifting his head off my lap. We both climbed out of the van and looked around.
'The sleepy heads are awake!' Suzuki screamed out as soon as he saw us. Everyone started clapping.
'Oh shut up.' Ikuto said. The whole group burst into laughs and giggles.
Everything was going well; the boys were joking around, the girls were in the background talking about how idiotic they were. The whole group turned silent as a stranger holding a garbage bag walks up.
As he stepped out into the light, I realized I know who he was.
'Kukai!,' Ikuto yelled out before I could, 'what are you doing here?'
'First of all, I live here. Second, what are you doing?!' he said. He took Ikuto's left wrist and started dragging him away.
'Hey! Kukai! You can't just drag Ikuto away!' Okita and the group yelled out.
'It's fine guys,' Ikuto replied calmly, 'I'll be back soon. Okita, drive everyone back home and keep my baggage for me.'. Okita nodded and told everyone else to get back in the car. They hesitantly obeyed and looked back to Ikuto as they all climbed in the car. Except me, I wasnt going to let Kukai drag Ikuto away like that.
I guess Okita sensed that I had to stay so he didn't make me go in the car and drove away. 'Hey Kukai! You can't just drag Ikuto away like that!'
'I can if I want to!' Kukai said.
'Kukai, let go!' Ikuto yelled. Kukai broke his grip and turned around to face Ikuto.
'Ikuto, do you think it's right to break all contact with Amu and go out with Julie?! She was crying for days when you left! She deserves someone much better than you!' Kukai screamed.
'I...I - what right do you have to say that to me?! What, do you like Amu or something?!' Ikuto argued.
'What?! H-how could that..' Kukai started saying.
"Oh right, 'like' is probably not the right word – you probably love Amu." Ikuto said, scretching out the 'love'. Clearly, Ikuto was not 'keeping his cool' at the moment.
Kukai... love Amu? That would make sense, since they've been friends since elementary school.
'I-I...' Kukai said. He took his hand and put it over his mouth, attempting to cover the bIush on his face.
'Ikuto.. I think you went too far..' I said and put my hand on his shoulder.
'Shut up!' he said. He shook me off and shoved me to the ground. I looked at him with pleading eyes. I was about to burst into tears - has Ikuto become a monster or something? Did he usually shove and push Amu like this? Or was he doing this all for Amu? Did he really love Amu that much that he has to push me to the ground like that?
'S-sorry..' Ikuto said. He put out hand for me. I took his gentle hand and was about to pull myself up, when I heard a door slam to my right. I looked over and saw my enemy, Hinamori Amu. I froze in the spot, so did Ikuto and Kukai.
Everyone on the scene, frozen. Not able to move, no one able to say a word.
'A-amu..' Ikuto whispered, breaking the silence. 'Ikuto.. hi.' Amu said, walking towards us. I pulled myself up and brushed off the dirt and pebbles on my pants.
'Hi, you must be Ikuto's new girlfriend, yes?' she said, extending out a hand to shake.
'Yeah..' I replied and shook her hand.
'Amu, it's not what it looks like! It's a misunderstanding!' Ikuto said.
'What's to misunderstand?,' she replied coldly, 'Come on Kukai, let's give them some privacy. Nice seeing you Ikuto. Oh wait, I never got your name.'.
'Julie. Julie Osomoto.' I said.
'Nice to meet you Julie. I'm Amu. Amu Hinamori.' she introduced.
'Yeah, I heard from Ikuto.' I said. 'Hmm.. do you really tell her about your ex-girlfriends Ikuto?,' Amu asked, 'you better treat her well.'
I heard her choke a little as she said that line. Amu dragged Kukai back in his house and closed the door. But before the door could close, I saw tears dripping down her face. And I'm pretty sure Ikuto could see it too.
