I felt during the series the person with the least interaction with Aelita was Ulrich so I had him go to her. Thanks to EccentricSuperchick for helping me out and thanks to the ppl who reviewed.
After trying in vain to find Odd and not getting him to answer his phone Ulrich raced out into the woods. It was freezing but right now he didn't care, right now another friend needed him. He stopped after a while realizing he didn't know where to go. If I were Aelita where would I hide? Lyoko? Nah. She wouldn't bother Yumi at this time of night. Might as well check the Hermitage. Ulrich broke out into a jog headed towards the ancient house. Still creepy as always. Ulrich never liked the Hermitage. He tiptoed upstairs and saw Aelita crumpled into a ball onto the floor. Ulrich took a deep breath. He wasn't really a good person to go to if you need a shoulder to dry on.
"Hey Princess," he said as he bent down beside her. Aelita took one look at him then resumed her fetal position. Ulrich sighed at helped her get up.
"C'mon you'd feel better talking about it,"
Aelita and Ulrich slumped onto an old sagging bed, which was in presumably her room.
"Ulrich am...am I a bad person?" she asked.
"No Aelita you're a good person," said Ulrich. "You save the world everyday against XANA and-"
"No not like that," she interrupted rolling her eyes. "I mean about breaking Jeremy's heart."
"Oh," Ulrich blushed a little at his stupidity. He put an arm around her shoulder. "Aelita when you love someone you can't help it. You couldn't force yourself to love Jeremy when clearly you didn't and as bad as a feel for Jeremy I feel worse for you." Aelita sniffed and nodded.
"I know but you should have seen him-"
"Yeah, I did," he said bitterly. "But if he truly loves you then he'd let you move on, because it truly makes you happy."
"You think he'd do that?" she asked.
"No," he said truthfully "but he needs to let this thing go and move on."
"How do you know?" she asked. Ulrich inwardly groaned. Too deep into this shit to pull out. Ulrich could tell her, what someone would do for love. The sacrifices one could make for the happiness of one you love. Even if you aren't the happy one.
"Well uh- you know how I...you-you know" he took a shaky breath.
"Uh no I don't believe I do," she said momentarily grinning. He released his shaky breath,
"I- love Yumi," he blurted out. Aelita stared at him.
"Well every one knows that," she said.
"Wait what? You know what another time lemme get to point," he said impatiently. "Well I'd do anything for her. I'll even just be friends if it makes her happy, even of it kills me."
"You would?"
"Yes, because I love her and if Jeremy loves you he'll let you go,"
"You sure?"
"Erm...no actually but it's a good guess,"
Aelia shrugged it was worth a try. She turned to give him a hug.
"Thanks Ulrich," she said. He smiled as he watched her leave the house. He sprawled out on the creaky bed. Maybe I'm not so bad at this comforting stuff.
Meanwhile
"Hey Aelita did you hear what-shit," Odd had tried to find Aelita after hearing what happened to Jeremy. He left his phone in his room and didn't want to go back for it because he knew if Jeremy saw him he'd be dead. So Odd went the completely opposite direction to find Aelita. Why do I have to sleep through everything? Odd reached her room and opened the door. He'd expected to see his pink haired girlfriend but was surprised to see a pissed off looking blonde boy sitting calmly on her bed.
"Shit," he repeated. Odd backed up but accidentally backed up on the door closing it shut. Fan-freaking-tastic. Jeremy slowly made his way over to Odd.
"Hey buddy," said Odd. "Haven't seen you in a while...hehe." Jeremy picked up the clock and threw it at Odd, who ducked just in time. His hair, however, now had a big gaping hole in it.
"Wow that's some arm you should try out for baseball," he said nervously. Jeremy picked up the desk lamp and swung it. Odd dropped to the floor as it collided with his skull. Odd looked up at Jeremy with the last bit of strength he had left.
"Yea," he said weakly, "you should definitely try out for baseball." And then he fainted. Jeremy stood over Odd with malice in his eyes. I could beat the shit out of him right now; injure him till the brink of death. Aelita would come to me and I would comfort her. Then she'd realize her mistake and we'd be back together again...forever. No Odd to stand in the way. Jeremy smiled as the twisted thoughts went through his mind. Then he looked at Odd again. He had a large gash in his head and blood was trickling down his face. Jeremy's smile faded and he stared at the bloody desk lamp still in his hand. Oh no what have I become. He felt the world spinning before him. He tried to grab them but fell forward. Mon Dieu I injured my friend. Jeremy sat up and looked at Odd again. Jeremy tossed him over his shoulders. Thank God for adrenaline. Jeremy felt an unknown sense of power replace his rage as he carried Odd furtively out of the dorm room and to the secret passage way in the school. He dragged Odd's body threw the sewers to the computer room. He laid him down. Oh shit, please don't be dead, please don't die. Jeremy slapped Odd a couple times. Odd groaned and his eyes fluttered open.
"Thank God, Odd say something," Jeremy yelled into Odd's face.
"Ugh...something...tehe," Odd said weakly. Jeremy laughed although it was a crappy joke. Odd joined, their laughter filling the room.
Yep they're friends again, sorta. So last update until next year. I'm going away for Christmas and you probably won't hear from me for three weeks but the story will continue so don't worry
