Amu rushed home, tears gathered in her eyes, threatening to spill. Miki, Ran, Su, and Dia tried to keep up. "Amu! Wait!" Miki called out. The others yelled out after her but she didn't stop. She got home and slammed the door, sliding down. She let the tears roll. "Amu?!" Her mom ran to her. "Amu what's wrong?!" Amu looked up. "I...just made...a huge...mistake." She said between sobs. Her mom sat on the floor next to her and held her. Eventually Amu stopped crying and explained what happened. "Amu, it's not like you to explode like that." Amu looked away. "I know. I don't know what happened it just...did." Her mom hugged her. "You have to make this right." She said. "But, how?" Her mom looked at her. "You'll figure it out. You're Amu." There was a push on the door. They got up and Amy's dad came in. He looked at Amu's swollen eyes and crossed to the pair silently, pulling them into a hug. They stood there for a while. Ami came in. "I wanna hug!' She came over and Amu's dad swept her up and they stood there as a family for a while.
Ikuto stared at Tadase as Amu took off. "Great. Now look what you did!" Tadase yelled. "Me? You are the reason we were fighting. You just couldn't let me explain." Ikuto stated, calmly. His voice was not agitated. "You were-" "Both of you stop." A sad voice interrupted. They turned to see Aika. "It was my fault. OK? Don't blame Ikuto. It was an accident. But, you were both out of line. Like Amu said she's not an object. Have you ever thought how hard it was for her? Being caught between two guys? How she felt? And now, thanks to your little argument neither of you will win." Aika's voice was calm with a hint of sadness. "It wasn't meant to be a competition." Ikuto was the first to speak. "Well it is." She sighed. "It is." She said, quieter. "Who are you again?" Tadase stared at Aika. "No one." Then she turned and walked away.
Amu went to school. It had been a week since the thing with Tadase and Ikuto. She had avoided Tadase and hadn't seen Ikuto. Today was the last day of school. She walked to the entrance. "Amu!" It was Tadase. She kept walking. "Amu, please!" She didn't stop. She felt a hand on her shoulder. "Amu, don't do this, please." She shook him off and turned around. "Tadase, I'm sorry. But I don't know what to do here." She stared at him. "Amu, I'm sorry. Please forgive me." He pleaded. "Maybe Amulet Heart will but not me." Ouch. That one hurt. Tadase sighed. "Amu, I thought we fixed this a long time ago!" Amu turned. "Whatever." And she was gone.
Ikuto put his stuff into the back of the bus. He sighed. A whole month and he had gotten nowhere with Amu. Nowhere. He shook his head. "OK! Five minutes! Make sure you have all your stuff because we're not coming back!" The conductor cried. "Not coming back." Ikuto whispered to himself. "Ikuto!" Utau ran up to him and hugged him. "Good luck!" She said. He smiled at his sister. "Thanks." She pulled away. "OK! Everyone on! Now!" He got on and watched as the others filed in. Then the doors closed mad the bus started and began moving forward. He turned and looked at all the friends and family waving goodbye. But, as there was a person missing from the crowd, there was a person missing from his heart. "Goodbye Amu." He whispered to himself.
Don't worry! This is not the end! Nowhere close! Just please don't kill me *hides*
