The moment Tora was out of sight, Travis rushed to Ariella's side. She awoke at the sound of his footsteps.

"Thank you," she said weakly, "for saving me."

"Huh?' Travis asked.

"After I fell, you saved me," she explained, trying to jog his memory.

Travis didn't remember saving her because it wasn't him who saved her.

After her world went black...

"Igarashi," he heard the single word escape her lips. He sprinted toward her in sheer panic. Her head barely kissed the pavement before he slid underneath her. He heard her head hit the pavement, "Shit!"

He quickly checked to see if it had cracked open, thankfully it did not. He scooped her up in his arms and carried her over to the boy standing leaning against the building. He handed her with utmost carefulness to Travis.

Tora pulled out his phone and called the ambulance. After putting his phone in his pocket, he turned to Travis, "If they ask, she passed out because of stress. You heard her scream and ran to her. You called the ambulance and then carried her over here to wait."

He waited for Travis to respond before continuing, "She is going to thank you. When she does, tell her it was no problem, that you couldn't live with out her and say I love you. Make sure when you say I love you to say her first and last name. But never, under any circumstances mention my name."

"But why?"

Tora ignored him, "Here is my phone number, call me when you get to the hospital."

"Why are you doing this?" He asked again.

"I had my chance, I gave it up. She is not mine, I see that now. You are what is best for her. She makes you happy. You make her happy. It is simple. You just need help becoming her knight in shining armor. I came help with that. I know her better than anyone."

"I see," Travis replied.

"You see, but do you understand? I'm giving her to you. I am trying to let her go, so you two can be happy. All I need you to do is to protect her, love her and make her happy."

"I understand."

"Good, I just need to tell you one more thing. If you fail to do this, do not put it past me to come and take her back. She is my Ella and will always be my Ella," he hastily added before disappearing into the shadows.

Present time...

"It was no problem, I couldn't live without you. I love you Ariella James," Travis told her just as Tora had instructed him.
