Scarlett: Booyah, I'm back!
Amu: I thought you said you won't be updating?
Ikuto: Cause you're at school
Scarlett: Well…
Amu: Don't tell me you skipped school for us?!
Scarlett: Never! It's just that, I feel very guilty since I didn't update last weekend!
Amu: Oh, now it reminds me, why didn't you update anyway?
Ikuto: Maybe she's making a lemon story…
Scarlett: As I say, Never!
Rima was still sobbing as she lay on her bed while hugging a huge pillow. She couldn't believe that her mother could judge Amu like that; heck she doesn't even know a single bit about her! Sure, Amu isn't feeling so well but she'll turn back to her cheerful self, so her mother has no right to say that Amu is bad influence, how dare she!? Her mother never acted like a mother, she would always work and argue with her stupid Dad, they never had a time for poor little Rima, and here she goes, babbling about as if she knew everything that happened to her life, as if she was there the whole time the incident happened, shit no Sherlock, she wasn't there so she should stop acting like she was.
Rima's hand quickly took a grasp at the mobile phone beside her, only one thought rang in her mind, talk to Utau.
The phone rang once, twice, thrice; Rima was thinking that maybe Utau has no plans on picking up her phone. But then, she did.
"Hello, Rima?" Utau spoke on the other line.
"Yeah, Utau, can I come over tonight?" Rima asked, her voice wavered and she sniffed often.
"Rima, are you alright?" Utau asked worriedly, she was sitting on her bed, picking more clothes for Amu just to keep her happy when suddenly Rima called.
"Yeah, just a little argument" Rima sighed.
"I'll be guessing, is it with your mother?" Utau asked, she knew Rima hated the topic.
"Yeah. So, can I?" Rima quickly changed the topic and Utau agreed.
"Sure, should I pick you up?" Utau brought up a sleeveless black shirt and stared at it.
"No need, I can handle" Rima reassured the blonde who was getting worried for both her friends.
"If you say so, what time are you coming over?" Utau then smiled in satisfaction and tossed the shirt on the pile of other clothing she was supposed to give to Amu.
"It's already 5, so maybe, around 7" Rima sniffed once more, she wasn't so sure that her mother would allow her, but who cares? She's going anyway.
"Sure, I'll be preparing your room" Utau smiled and stood up as she opened her closet.
"Make it beside Amu's" Rima requested as she grabbed a box of Kleenex from the table just beside her bed.
"No problem" Utau grinned and grabbed out dozens of shoes, make-ups, more clothing and stuff and threw it all on her bed.
"Thanks Utau, I knew I could count on you" Rima smiled genuinely.
"Of course, that's what friends are for!" Utau grinned widely on the other line as Rima laughed forcedly and ended the call.
"So, when should I start?" A male asked with his phone on his ear.
"As soon as possible, we must get enough information" Another male replied.
"Got it" He answered and leaned on the wall.
"Oh, and make sure you do a good job this time" The other male muttered.
"When haven't I done a good job?" The man grinned.
"Yeah, I suppose you do have a point this time" The other man grinned as well. "Well then, you better get going"
"Okay, if you say so" The man sighed and flipped his phone close.
"Amu?" Utau peeked in Amu's room though the pinkette wasn't there. "Amu? Where are you?"
"Here" A voice called and there was Amu, her body wrapped in a towel as she stepped out of the bathroom.
"Oh, there you are" Utau sighed in relief, for that instant she got terribly worried.
"So, what do you need…?" Amu asked and opened her closet.
"I just came to bring you clothes" Utau smiled cheerfully and brought the huge pile of clothing in.
"More clothes?" Amu muttered, she wasn't really a fan of fashion.
"Yep" Utau grinned and started hanging the clothes in Amu's closet.
"Don't you think… they're too many?" Amu murmured.
"Many?" Utau laughed. "Oh please, this is just 1/10 of all my clothes" She boasted.
"Oh, I see" Amu nodded, she didn't looked impressed at all. "Well, I'll… be changing"
"Oh right! Sorry about suddenly barging in!" Utau exclaimed.
"It's alright…" Amu smiled, the truth is, she just wanted to be alone.
"Well, I'll be going" Utau smiled and headed for the door but then quickly stopped. "Oh right, I forgot to tell you something"
"What… is it?" Amu asked softly though inside, she was fuming with annoyance.
"Rima's coming over tonight" Utau turned and smiled. "She's having problems with her parents"
Amu's face fell, so Rima still dealt with her parents arguments, how come those two never had divorce?
"Oh, I see…" Amu muttered "Is she alright?"
"I guess so" Utau shrugged but then smiled. "Just go change; we'll deal with it later"
"Okay" Amu nodded and Utau closed the door and left.
"Where are you going?" Rima froze; her mother was glaring at her with her hands on her hips.
"Nowhere" The petite girl huffed and turned away from the woman.
"I doubt that; tell me, where are you going?" The woman asked once more.
"You don't need to know" Rima snapped, she hated her mother.
"I need to know" The woman said firmly.
"And why?!" Rima raised an eyebrow and turned to her mother.
"Because I am your mother!" The woman exclaimed.
"I don't see the point, you don't like my mother so don't care like one, and I know it's not the reason" Rima crossed her arms; she had this feeling that it was about Amu again.
Fine!" The woman threw her arms up. "I don't want you going anywhere with that girl!"
"Why?" Rima asked coldly, her mother was truly annoying but she could play the same game as hers.
"Rima, we have already talked about this, I don't want to repeat it all over again!" Her mother exclaimed.
"Then don't, I'm not forcing you" Rima hissed.
"Why have you turned to some bratty little girl!?" The woman pointed at her.
"I don't know! You don't know either, and you know why?" Rima growled.
"Yes, I know the reason why you've turned to some bitch; it's because of that girl!" The woman shouted.
"No! Stop including Amu to this mess! To our mess! To your mess!" Rima shouted as well. "It's your fault, you've never been there for me, you never knew what happened, you're too busy fighting you never noticed your daughter! So stop acting like you love me very much because you don't, you never did!"
Rima then ran out her house, with all her luggage, she wasn't staying for the night; she'll be staying at Utau's house forever if only it's possible!
Rima seems to be having a very bad day since it started raining hard and soon, she was soaking wet, she wasn't able to find shelter and she was pursued to continue her way towards Utau's house no matter what.
Scarlett: I still have class tomorrow but I still updated so hooray for me!
Amu: Hooray…
Ikuto: Hooray…
Scarlett: Well, thanks for reading, sorry I'm a bit in a rush sooo bye!
