Chapter 15 Ikuto POV

I felt so horrible. Horrible wasn't even the right word, more like guilty. Amu seeing me and Julie together hurt me so much. I'm such an idiot, why would I be hurt? Amu must be feeling more pain than me, right?

But Amu didn't know that I was doing it all for her, how could she when I didn't even get the chance to explain? I shouldve explained to her, but how? Why..why did it have to turn out like this?

'Ikuto, do you really want to see Amu again?' Utau asked. I looked up from the book I was reading, 'First Love'. I remember the time Amu was crying over this book, so I decided to read it myself. It's pretty good actually.

'..What?' I asked. I wasn't sure if I heard her right.

'Do. You. Want. To. See. Amu. Again?' Utau repeated.

Of course I do, how could I not? She was the love of my life! 'Yeah. That'd be nice.' I said.

'Then do me a favor would you?' Utau replied.

'What kind of favor...?' I asked. I didn't dare agree to it right away. Knowing Utau, it's probably something to do with her friend(s).

'Go out with Julie for me.' Utau said. Ha, knew it.

'Julie.. your best friend?' I asked.

'Yeah, she's like head over heels in love with you. Go out with her for a day or two and then afterwards, you can see Amu. Your trip to the beach should do.'

'Yeah, okay deal. Wait,' I said, 'how did you know about us going to the beach?'.

'Ive heard from people' Utau said and left the room.

Geez, sometimes, she scares me. But I didn't care, I had a chance to see Amu... a chance to date her again, hug her again, kiss her again.. it sounded good to me. But is going out with Julie really worth it? Of course it's worth it! It's because of my sister that this all happened anyway!

I grabbed the notebook and pencil that was lying on the table next to me and started writing. Just in case I forget what to say to Amu when I see her.

'I..missed you,' I said as I wrote it down, 'sorry things got messed up.. let's get back together.'. I looked at the piece of paper with me handwriting and tilted my head back and forth.

Was 'sorry things got messed up, let's get back together' good enough? No, it wasn't. I ripped out the sheet of paper, crumbled it up into a ball, and threw it into the trash can. The piece of paper hit the wall, and went to the trash can.

'Yes! Good job Ikuto! You're the best!' I heard. I looked around to see where the voice had come from.

'It's probably just in my head..' I said aloud. Amu used to say that to me every time I won a basketball game. I guess I'm thinking about her too much.

I took out my phone and clicked on the 'missed calls' button. Still no call from Amu.. Is she too scared to call me? Or does she not know my number? I didn't change it..so why didn't she call? Every day, I wait and wait for a call from her. But every day, I get nothing.

I thought about it, and wondered why I didn't call her. Oh yeah, that's right, Utau would murder me if I did. I returned to the homepage and stared at my wallpaper.

It was a picture of me and Amu. One day while watching tv, Amu was clicking random stuff on my phone.

'Look here!' Amu said.

I looked up and saw a white flash. 'Ow..,' I said, 'my eyes.'

'Thats a good picture!' Amu said while giggling. I saw her press more buttons but didn't really care about it so I returned to my sports channel.

When she gave me back my phone, Amu set the picture as the wallpaper. Me, with my hideous looking face; and Amu when her long pink hair.

Before I realized it, I was smiling myself. I looked around to see if Utau was here, no sign of her. I sighed with relief; she would kill me if she saw me smiling like some creepy old man over a simple picture.

But Amu really looked amazing in the photo...Her hair was spread out on the pillow, she had a smile on her lips, her eyes sparkling.

That moment, I decided that I would do whatever it takes to see Amu again.

I looked up at the sky and sighed.

'Whats wrong?' Julie asked next to me.

'..Nothing nothing.,' I replied, 'okay head inside.'.

'But I don't want to go hhhoooooomeee; I want to stay with Ikuto.' Julie whined.

'Come on, if you stay with me, your mom will get mad right?' I said, a bit annoyed.

'They don't even care about me..' she said quietly.

'Okay, how about this - if you go home, we'll go on a date tomorrow alright?' I reasoned.

'Really?! Okay I'll go inside now!' she squealed excitedly.

Who knew changing a woman's mind was so easy?

'But, where will we go?' she said at the door.

'You'll have to wait and see.' I said. Truth is, even I don't know where we're going.

'Okay..' Julie replied, disappointed.

'I'll come back here at 11AM, okay?' I said.

'Okay!' Julie said, squealing again. She closed the door and I heard another squeal.

Girls... why waste your energy by squealing so much? I sighed again and started walking back to Okita's house - to get my clothes and such.

While walking, I thought about the date tomorrow. I wonder where we should go. To the aquarium? No, too cliché. Theatre? No, too boring. Theme park? Yes! That could work, since I'm pretty sure Julie likes roller coasters.

Roller coasters..I remember Amu likes them too. No, like wasn't even the right word. More like she loves them.

She would stare at the roller coaster, and drag me along so I could ride with her. During the line, she's all excited. Dut when we're actually on the ride and about to start, she starts to freak out and yell at me, saying 'Why did you make me go on this?!'. Ironic, I know. But after we get off the ride, she squeals and wants to go again.

Before I realized it, I had ended up at Kukai's house. 'Oh well.. I'll just walk over to Okita's.'.

But before I did.. I looked through the window and my heart nearly stopped. Amu was being hugged by Kukai, on the couch. They were both asleep, hugging and sleeping together.

I know Amu gave up on me, but a wave of jealously still washed over me. Don't touch her like that..don't sleep with her. Don't even touch her.

But I had a sudden realization; Amu didn't care about me anymore. She had thrown me away and went for Kukai instead. I felt a sharp pain in my heart. Like that feeling when a person takes something very important from you and no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you'll never get it back. Ever.

I clenched my fists and turned around and walked towards Okita's house. I shouldn't be jealous, I should be happy for her. At least I have a garantee that Kukai will treat her well. They've known each other since elementary school. Besides, Kukai is like my little brother.

But I wonder if Amu will think about me as much as I think about her. I just wish that one day, I can explain everything to her. How I feel, how I think about her everyday, and how I would do anything for her. Of course, I might never have the chance.

I knocked at the door and in a few seconds, Okita opened the door and led me inside. We both sat down on the sofa; a few feet away, I could see my luggage.

'How'd it go?' he said, giving me a bottle of water.

'It didn't go as I planned..' I replied as I was opening the bottle cap.

'Thats bad news.. but it's okay man. I'm sure Amu will come to her senses soon.' Okita said. Sometimes he can be a pervert, other times a complete jerk, but when a friend's in trouble - Okita will always try to help them somehow.

'Yeah... thanks.'. I took a sip of water.

'Mhm. Here's your luggage.' Okita walked over to my bags and carried them back to me.

'Thanks a million.' I said.

'No problem,' Okita replied, 'what are brothers for?'. We both laughed as I walked out the door.

'Night.' he said.

'Goodnight to you too.' I replied as he closed the door.

A/N: This chapter was basically full of flashbacks, sorry about that :P But I really felt like I needed to explain how Ikuto ended up with Julie. The next chapter - I think - will be explaining how Amu and Ikuto broke up, so you have something to look forward to! (I hope I didn't give out too much information xD)

Again, if you have any suggestions for the ending of this series, just PM me or put it in a review! All suggestions will be read and put down into my little notebook that I keep in a secret place (aka my drawer. Well I guess it's not a secret anymore o-o). And maybe your suggestion will be the ending!
