I had just woken up in a cold sweat. That night kept replaying in my head, over and over again. Ikuto left to find his father and I felt lost and all alone. Sure I had my friends and family, but something felt like it was missing. I felt confused and lost.

Looking over at the alarm clock on my bedside table '4:29 AM' it read. Groaning I laid back onto my pillow. Curling up on my side and wrapped my arms around myself.

"Poor Amu.." Ran said while Miki and Dia were asleep. Su had been down in the kitchen, making some hot chocolate. She always knew how to help me relax. I loved my girls. They've always been there for me for as long as i can remember.

Su returned with the cup of hot chocolate and she flew up to me with Ran and we all hugged. "Amu, I made you some hot chocolate.." Su said softly. I gave the chara a soft thankful smile. "Thank you.." I said. "Both of you." I whispered. "Get back to bed, I'll drink the hot chocolate and try to sleep after." I hummed softly, while I looked out my sliding glass door, letting the hot beverage cool down just a little as Su always reminds me that the beverage is to hot yo drink right away.

I pulled my knees up, resting my chin on them, still looking out the windowed door while hugging my legs so they would stop dropping, losing myself in thought.

Its been a hard seven years without Ikuto. Mama and Papa are becoming more and more successful, while Ami is getting older. Rima, Yaya and I are still close but I don't really talk to the guys as much. Tadase started college, Nagi told me about his secret and its been confusing in if i want to forgive him or not for keeping it from me, while Kukai and Utau have been together for almost three years and they're both achieving their dreams.

I'm really proud to call everyone my friends and family, but lately I've been feeling off. I don't really answer my phone. I try to keep up with Utau though. Her songs are always my favorite. The charas are either over to hang out with Ran, Miki, Su and Dia or back at the Royal Garden. Once Easter was defeated, everyone gave up on looking for the Embryo.

I've been missing Ikuto more and more. Sometimes i think back to all the times I've heard him playing his violin in the park and i just smile. Papa has been playing music from this orchestra and the violinist sounds similar to Ikuto's style of play. If I'm not thinking of him and his violin, I'm remembering the time we went to the amusement park, and i was able to get him to ride the teacups with me.

Without realizing it, I had finished the hot chocolate that Su had made me, the mug empty on my side table, I lay back down and stare up at the ceiling of my room.
