Wow, only one review for the last chapter. I must be losing my touch =( Anyways here's chapter 7. Very dark and god damn it its a little OOC but love makes you do crazy shit. Long ass chapter. Enjoy.

Aelita slowly made her way to the factory her tears leaving trails behind her. She took a good look around, she liked the forest. She continued walking until she reached the Hermitage. She entered through the rusty ivy covered gates and went inside the ancient rotting house. She stood in the living room and closed her eyes, breathing in the musty ancient scent, feeling the presence of her father.

"Good bye daddy," she whispered to the empty house. She went out through the back door and went into the sewer through the secret door way. She took her sweet little time in the sewers. She'd miss them even if they were disgusting she loved everything on Earth ever since the day Jeremy materialized her. The young girls paradigm was great. Jeremy, she thought. She felt bad for doing this since what he did was about to be in vain. She reached the factory at last and swung on the ropes one last time and entered the elevator one last time. She took it to the top. She climbed out through the hole in the top of the elevator, hopped on a ledge then entered through a vent. She didn't stop crawling until he reached the roof of the factory. She sighed and looked at the town, alive. The poor girl drank in the artifical vista laid before her eyes. She'd miss that too, she'd miss it all. Aelita stood on the edge of the roof and peered down into the roof at the river below. She took somethings out of her sweater pocket. Four pieces of paper, and a pencil. In them she wrote her goodbyes to her friends

Yumi,

You've always been so kind to me. You taught me many things about being a human girl. For that I am grateful, you were the first person I told my most disgraceful secret too and you still excepted me. You excepted me even though, my secret could have ruined a perfect friendship. You were the sister I never had, always protecting me from the world's dangers. I'm sorry Yumi.

Next she wrote Ulrichs

Ulrich, I first have to thank you. Thank you for protecting me all those times on Lyoko and on Earth. You were like me protective older brother making sure I stayed out of trouble. You taught me to defend myself, but I can' apply your teachings now since the very thing trying to harm me is myself, by the time you read this I'll already have been harmed. Goodbye Ulrich

Now she composed Jeremy's

Jeremy I can't thank you enough for what you've done. Bringing me into that wonderful world of yours. The sights, smells and sounds, the different things I learned everyday. You worked on it every single waking moment you could spare for over a year, all for me. I can't thank you enough, it would be respectful if I thanked you again in person but...I couldn't bring myself to do that. I couldn't face anyone. I also apologize for being a bad girlfriend. Sorry to leave you hanging but I can't tell you why. Thank you Jeremy.

Finally it was Odd's

Odd. You've been my best friend. Whenever I was down you could always cheer me up. I always felt a strong friendship with you. And then you told me something that drive me insane with confusion. But it made me think about somethings. So thank you for that. Thank you for you love. The two months I was with you were the best of my short lived Earth life. I remember the first words you said to me. You said I was cutie. Odd you've made me so happy the transitory time I was here and I wish that I made you just as happy as happy as you made me me. I love you Odd.

She finished the letters. A giant load was lifted off her shoulders but it came back and re-entered her heart. She took the letters down to the computer room and left them on the chair before returning back to the roof. She took a deep breath and reached into her sweater pocket again and pulled out a knife. She stole it from the cafeteria on her way there. Why the cafeteria was open this late was lost on her. The looked down at the river. She never learned to swim, if the knife didn't kill her the river would. She stared at the knife gleaming in her hands. The metal was shinny and glistened in the moonlight, mocking her, teasing her while she rethought her plan. She looked at her reflection in the knife and glance at what she saw. A sad, sad, little girl. She had fear and pain spilling from her eyes as invisible tears. Her face was pale and seemed to sink in. Ruining the whites of her eyes was a splash of red from the tears that had fallen and were still falling. She made up her mind, she was gonna do it. She placed the blade of the knife on her left wrist. It was cool and smooth and deadly. Just as she was a bout to drag it across her tender skin a voice from behind startled her.

"Aelita, Aelita, Aelita," I said in a tsk tsk kind of voice. "Someone as smart as you should know what your doing is god damn stupidity." Odd turned and saw Odd standing there casually, hands deep in his pockets, his face as serious as it had ever been. Aelia was almost over joyed to see him until she remembered the reason why she was was up here...him.

"Stay away," she warned removing the blade from her wrist and waving it in the air in front of him. He disobeyed and took a few steps towards her.

"Aelita give me the knife," he said.

"No, don't come any closer,"

"Princess please just tell me what's wrong,"

"No I...I can't talk to you right now,"she said. For a second Odd stopped his advances.

"Ok," he said. She turned back to river readjusting the knife to her wrist when it was grabbed from her hand. Odd took the knife and chucked it off the roof into the river below. He grabbed Aelita by the waist and picked her up and took her away from the edge of the roof. She thrashed and kicked him but he refused to let her go. When he put her down she punched his chest over and over again letting out all her anger on him. Odd winced every time her blows struck him but for Aelita he'd take her pain and anger and sorrow any day. He then felt his shirt get moist. They stood there for what felt like eternity and a day until her crying stopped and her ragged breathing evened out. Odd picked her up bridal style and carried her back to the dorms. It wasn't that late but late enough for him to get suspended for roaming a round t night with his sleeping cousin in his arms. He surreptitiously carried her in her room. As he closed the door behind him she woke up.

"Odd?" she asked. "What are you doing."

"Sshh," he said. "Go back to sleep. I'm saying with you tonight." Too tired to argue she was lulled back to sleep. First he tucked her in and got into bed with her throwing the covers over both of them. Sh snuggled against him instantly and he smiled and pulled her closer to him. Odd layed there, listening to the sound of her shallow breathing and the soft thud of her heart, think how the both could have stopped if he hadn't gone to apoligize that night. He pushed those thoughts away. He to was exhausted but he refused to sleep, wanting to enjoy and savour this sweet moment. He glanced at the clock, 10:13. It was late but he didn't care. A few hours later he looked at the desk clock again, 1:55. Yep it was time to get some sleep.

Aelita woke up groggy and confused. The events of last night were a blur. She remembered the knife and that was it. A few rays of light was making its way throught the closed binds on the window. Is this the heaven Ulrich and Yumi were talking about? She thought. Look a lot like my bed room. Or...maybe I"m in hell? Seems nicer than they said it would be. She sat up on the edge of her bed when two svelt arms snaked around her waist. She jumped and turned around to see Odd sitting up as well.

"Why are you here?" she asked.

"A good morning to you too," he smirked before kissing her cheek. "I stayed the night with you. I want you to tell me what happened on the roof last night." The pink haired girl broke down and confessed why she tried to kill herself.

"I thought you were angry at me," she finished. Dumbass how could you make her think you hated her! Ugh you jackass. Odd mentally kicked himself. Odd pulled her into his lap and wrapped his hands around her waist. She buried her face into his warm neck and entangled her hands around his shoulders.

"I was never angry at you Princess," he said rubbing soft circles in her back. "I could never be angry at you."

"Who were angry at?"

"I was angry at Jeremy, for being to needy and confusing you," he told her. "I thought you were angry at me."

"No! Never!" she said. He smiled. Aelita then suddenly remembered something.

"Where you going?" he asked.

"I have to get somethings,"

Aelita hurried to the factory Odd barely keeping up. She had to get t the factory before Jeremy did. Finally they exited the elevator into the super computer room and she rushed over to the chair. She picked up all four notes and stuffed them into her pocket, except Odd's.

"Here," she said handing it to him. "I want you to have this."

"What is it?" he asked taking the piece of paper from her hand.

"Just read, its not too challenging for you, is it?"

"Hey no need to so rude," he said. He sat on the large chair and Aelita took her usual seat...on his lap. He read the letter, then re-read it, then triple read it.

"Oh, Princess," he said before engulfing her in a hug.

"It's OK, I could never get angry with you," he told her. She nodded. The continued to sit there in each others arms.
