Amakute torokechau...

I pick up my phone. "Hello?"

"Amano?"

My heart nearly stops. Kashino...?

"I'm sorry, but I'm busy right now. Goodbye." I say hurriedly, hanging up the phone.

I sigh, tears pooling up in my eyes. 6 months have passed since I left St. Marie. And to be honest, I don't know if I can do this anymore.

A tear falls to the ground. Then another.

I miss Andou. I miss how he understood me even when no one else could. How he was always there for me, no matter the consequences.

I miss Hanabusa. I miss his playboy smile and the enchanting aura that always followed him. I miss how he was sweet and sincere, just like the roses in his garden.

And as much as I hate to admit it... I miss Kashino.

I miss his stupid caramel eyes and his stupid blond hair. I miss his stubborn attitude and his cold, bitter remarks.

But most of all, I miss how despite all of this, he has somehow managed to make his way into my heart. How his smile, like an invisible flame, is enough to light up my life.

I love him.

I just wish I had realized it sooner.

Days fly by. Weeks. Months.

The happiness that I've once known is gone. The smiles that fill my face are no longer real.

It's all dying.

I try to tell myself that I'm happy here, but...

That's the biggest lie I've ever told.

"Ichigo."

I turn around, forcing a smile on my face. "Oh... hi, Sho."

"I've been... thinking," he starts.

"About what?"

"Things." He seems uneasy.

I blink. "Is something wrong?"

He shakes his head. "No. It's just..."

He takes a deep breath. Then he says the words I least expect...
