AN:I don't own anything, except my ideas and I'm tired of repeating it, so this goes for all chapters of this story.
Recap:"Oh we'll see who the police wants the most. We'll see what they will do once they find out all your crimes."
~Love~
He's there when you're not
You kissed her, when you should've kissed me
And now you want me back,
after all that crap?
Tadase POV
After receiving the call from Saaya, I headed towards my car that was parked on the street. I hopped in, started it up, and began the short drive to Amu's house. The clock just turned 2:45 as I joined in with the rest of the cars at the red light. With just about fifteen minutes left, there's no way I won't see Amu on my way to her house before Ikuto does. Turning on the radio, I flipped from channel to channel, until I heard a song that I liked.
"I'm only gonna break break your break break your heart
I'm only gonna break break your break break your heart
I'm only gonna break break your break break your heart
I'm only gonna break break your break break your heart"
It's one of my most favorite songs. I stared out the windows as I was driving, thinking about my past and seeing a flash of pink hair. Hey, that girl looks cute. Amu! I broke out of my trance, and immediately stepped on the brakes, screeching to stop right next to Amu.
Amu POV
I was walking down the street, ignoring everything that was happening around me. Of course, I avoided people because of what recently happened, by looking at the ground and watching everyone's feet move around me and directly at me. I dragged my feet with every step I walked, before I heard a loud and sudden screeching noise, as a car stopped right beside me. The window suddenly began to roll down, and noticed that it was Tadase by the blond hair and ruby red eyes.
"Tadase-kun..." I mumbled, keeping my eyes down.
"Hey Amu! Hop in!"
"T-thanks, but I'm almost at my house, I don't need a ride. Thanks anyway." I said, as I continued my walk home. There was a rock on the ground, and I kicked it, before hearing a voice.
"Saaya, I love you."
"I love you too, Ikuto." I froze in my tracks, like a deer caught in the middle of the road. I turned around to find Tadase holding up a recorder that was playing.
"No..." You could hear some small noises after they proclaimed their love for each other. I quickly put my hands over my ears, attempting to block out all the sounds that the recorder was making. No, no, no, no, no! It can't be Ikuto! It has to be another Ikuto! But I'm just lying to myself, trying to deny the inevitable. That is Ikuto's voice, and he is in love with another girl.
Ikuto POV
I walked down the streets, with my hands in my pockets of my jeans, the hood of my hoodie over my head as my bangs covered my eyes. How could I have kissed that girl? Why didn't I realize what Amu was feeling? My feet got dragged along on the sidewalk as I kept on walking. What if she doesn't forgive me?
"Ikuto, you should just come clean and apologize. If Amu doesn't accept your apology, then that's her choice, and you have to acknowledge that. But I'm sure that won't happen because she really loves you, she's just confused right now because of Tadase."
I hope you're right, Utau. I almost arrived at Amu's house, when I saw a flash of pink in the corner of my eye. Swiftly, I turned around to see what and where that came from. There was a car that was driving past me, and I swear, I saw pink hair in the back seat. Amu! I started to run towards the car, and I began to call her name over and over again, but she never turned around. No. The car was going faster and faster.
Tadase POV
I ushered Amu into my car, and began to drive in the opposite direction. Ikuto, Ikuto, Ikuto. When will you learn that you'll never be able to fall in love? Amu was quiet in the back seat, just looking out the window aimlessly, as we passed by cars, trees, and Ikuto. Wait, what?! I craned my head to the right, and just caught a glimpse of Ikuto walking the other direction. He began to turn around, probably because he saw Amu's pink hair. Oh, crap, better speed up. Maybe he didn't see us, just hopefully.
But there's no such thing. He began to run towards the car, shouting Amu's name. I looked back at Amu's reaction, and found that she was still staring out the window. I smirked. There's no way that Amu would want to talk to Ikuto. I faced the front and began to drive faster.
"Can you pull over?" Shocked, I looked back at Amu, and saw her staring at me with determination in her eyes.
"You want to talk to someone that cheated on you?"
"I need to hear his side of the story." I weighed the options. Should I? If I don't let her, then she'll suspect me. But if I do, then they'll get back together. But...
"Okay, if that's what you want." I quickly pulled over, and parked on the side of the street, turning on my emergency lights so I don't get a ticket. I looked back, and all I saw was a flash of blue before I was knocked down. I don't know how I ended up on the sidewalk floor, but I think it has something to do with the sharp pain on my left cheek. I lay on the asphalt, clutching my cheek with my left hand, and glaring up at the blue haired teenager that just punched me. He was about to continue his assault, until a petite voice stopped him.
"Ikuto! Leave Tadase-kun alone!" She clambered out of the car, and came to my side with a small white handkerchief. She carefully dabbed at my bruise that throbbed with every single touch, but I loved how it enraged Ikuto. When he saw my smirk, (Amu didn't see) he yanked her arm away from my face and pulled her close to him.
"Let go of me!"
"He's just trying to brainwash you!"
"No he's not! He was helping me when you suddenly came up to him and attacked him!"
"I was protecting you!"
"From what, huh?!"
"From him! He's trying to break us apart by separating us!" When he said him, Ikuto jabbed a finger at my chest. By that time, I already recovered from the blow and was listening to the two of them arguing.
"You're just trying to put all the blame on him!"
"No, I'm not, I'm trying to protect you!" Amu's face got red from anger.
"You know, I think I should get protection from you! You say that you love me, that you want to protect me. So what kind of protection is it when my own boyfriend goes out to kiss a whore?!" He looked speechless, and when he was about to speak, Amu held up a hand to stop him.
"I saw everything Ikuto! Don't try to lie to me and make this worse!"
"That kiss didn't mean anything! She kissed me! After we kissed, I pushed her away!" Ikuto defended.
"Really? Did you really?! Or did you just say I love you to her?!" Amu was screaming now, and there were tears streaming down her face. She pulled out the recorder I gave her and pressed play.
"Saaya, I love you."
"I love you too, Ikuto."
Amu watched as Ikuto listened to the recording of 'him' confessing his love to Tadase. Oh I sure am good at audio stripping, and the like. I just twisted around some words that he said, and made my own sentences. Then, I smoothed out the words so it sounds like something someone would actually say. (AN: Don't try this at home since I doubt this works cuz I saw it on tv xD)
Ikuto's eyes widened in surprise after he heard the recording.
"Amu... I didn't say that."
"There's no way I am going to believe you. First you cheated on me, and now you love another girl?" She whispered, as if the words were deadly.
"No. Amu it's all a game. I-"
"That's right Amu. It was a game. And Ikuto just admitted that he played you." I put in.
"No, I-"
"We're over."
"What?!"
"Do you need me to repeat that?! We're over!"
And then Amu ran past Ikuto, and didn't look back.
Go away, leave me be
I never want to see
your face again
AN: I'm soooooo sorry I didn't update in so long. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. I was lazy, had writer's block, and had no inspiration to continue this story. But after I got encouraged, I began to write again! This update would've been sooner if fanfiction let me save, but instead, it got deleted for like the 2nd/3rd time. So I got pissed and stopped trying, but I pulled through to give you this short chapter. If you're one of the few people who still read and review this story, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You reviewers make updates possible!
Oh, and sorry for the crappy chapter. I know it sucks, again writer's block. But I thought it was pretty good at the ending, even though it was short. I just didn't know how to make the story move along. There could be many mistakes because I really wanted to update this for you guys, so I'm sorry. Anyway, read and review please!
