Pain flooded into Amu's eyes instantly as Ikuto's jaw fell apart. He was shock. It was obvious.

She should have known it from the start. He had never seen her that way since the start . It was always her wishful thinking.

Her hands tightened into a clenched fist as tears began to rise up into her eyes. Using every ounce of energy she had , she tried to force the tears back down.

She gave a small shaky laugh , trying to cover up how much she felt like breaking down and cry like there was no end "Ahaha.. I knew it.. Its okay.. Just pretend you didn't hear me say that..."

He's eyes went even wider as disbelief floated into the brim of his eyes "A-amu?"

No..no..no..no..no! He's going to reject me! I just know it!

I have to get out of here.. Or else... Ikuto...

Letting out a strangled sob , a tear fell down her cheek as she spun around and ran with all her might out of the bar .

"W-wait! Amu!" she could hear Ikuto's voice shouting with panic and concern. But she didn't care. She just wanted to find somewhere , somewhere where she could cry , scream and release all her feelings without anyone interrupting her.

She ran aimlessly throughout the streets , ignoring every single stranger whom she had bump into and every single person who was eyeing her oddly as she sped down the streets sobbing , not stopping untill she finally reached the park.

Panting and hiccuping at the same time , she moved a hand up and rubbed away her tears roughly . She looked up and immediately felt like crying again as she remembered the small memories she had shared with Ikuto here.

She took small , nostalgic steps as she closed her eyes , remembering the times where they had met coincidentally over and over in this place as though it was fate at work.

She let out a pained stiffled cry as she crumpled onto the floor , hugging her knees . She closed her eyes tightly as a scene of her singing to Ikuto's violin immediately flashed past her head. One small sob escaped her lips. It led to an unstoppable rush of tears and sobs as she sat there alone , shaking in pain .

She felt as though a dam in her had been broken. The tears that she had been forcing down ever since her parents and Ami became the victims of the tragic plane crash and left her alone forever was breaking through the barrier she had set for them. Ikuto's return was the only thing that kept her alive. By thinking of him , she felt as though she could live each day with anticipation without having to be haunted by the sadness left by her family over and over again.

But.. Now that she was faced with the truth where Ikuto had never seen her the way she wanted him to .. She felt as though she was being pierced over and over again. She didn't like the feeling. It made her feel as though there was no longer any meaning in living...

"Amu-chi?"

Her head jerked up , reacting immediately to the familiar voice filled with concern . The moment she saw the brunette girl, her best friend , standing in front of her , she broke down and ran into her arms , crying loudly , her whole heart asking for the girl to not ask anything. And to just stay there , with her. She didn't want to be alone anymore. She used to be brave because of Ikuto. But right now , she felt shattered. She didn't even want to think about being by herself. The thought of being alone frightened her. So much that she'd rather die than be alone again.
