I Was In My Room As Usual When Someone Knocked On My Door

It Was Locked And I Groaned

"They Just Don't Quit Do They?" I Thought To Myself

"Team Meeting" Said The Voice On The Other Side

It Was Lloyd

"Ok Ok..." I Answered

I Heard The Footsteps Recede And I Opened  The Door And Made My Way To The Meeting, My Arms Crossed

I Saw The Team And They Were All Looking At Me

I Awkwardly Sat Down

"So, I Guess You Are All Wondering Why We're All Here" Started Lloyd

They Looked At Me

"I Get It, This Is About Me" I Said, Bitterly

Lloyd Nodded

"We Understand That You Are Upset About Nya's Absence But You Can't Just Give Up On Everything" Chimed In Cole

I Scoffed

Upset Is Such A Small Word

"You Wouldn't Understand" I Said

"Maybe We Won't, But You Need To Open Up To Us, You'll Feel Much Better If You Shared Your Feelings" Jay Piped Up, With A Small Smile

"He's In A Better Mood, Nya Must've Meant Nothing To Him" I Thought, Angerly

"And Give The Villains An Advantage In Battles? No.Way." I Shook My Head

"They're Not Going To Use Your Feelings Against You, Why Do You Think That?" Asked Lloyd

"They Would Use Whatever Advantage They Had With Me. Toying With My Emotions Is A Most Definate Advantage. I Would Know" I Said, Thinking About Past Adventures

"We All Know How That Feels Kai, You're Not Alone Here, I Can Definately Relate To Having Emotions Toyed With" Said Lloyd

He Must Be Talking About Harumi

"She's Long Gone Lloyd, Just Like Her..." I Looked At The Ground

Lloyd Sighed

"You Can't Keep Going Like This Kai, And You Know It" Accused Jay

"She Meant Nothing To You Didn't She" I Growled

"She Meant Literally Everything To Me As Well, I Miss Her Everyday, Its Called Moving Forward" Said Jay

"Moving Forward Means Forgetting The Past! That's The Last Thing I Want To Do, I Don't To Forget Her!" I Yelled

"GROW UP! It Was Her Choice And We Have To Deal It Whether We Like It Or Not!" Retaliated Jay

"OH PLEASE, YOU'RE PRATICALLY THE REASON SHE'S GONE!" I Retorted

"YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE BEHIND ME! WHERE WERE YOU THEN!?" Jay Yelled

"I HAD OTHER THINGS TO DEAL WITH! YOU WEREN'T THE ONLY ONE IN TROUBLE YOU KNOW!!"

"I TRUSTED YOU!"

"I HAD FAITH IN YOU THAT YOU WOULD BE OK!"

"OHO, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FAITH NOW? HAVE FAITH IN NYA, IT.WAS.HER.CHOICE"

"SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE!
I WISHED THERE WAS ANOTHER WAY!ANOTHER CHOICE THAT DIDN'T HAVE HER TO LEAVE!" I Cried Out, Tears Forming In My Eyes

Jay Looked At Me Surprised

The Team Looked At Jay, Then Me

They Too Had The Look Of Surprise On Their Faces

My Wall Has Been Broken Down

Before I Knew It, I Was Crying

"Kai... Im-Im Sorry" He Apolgized,  Awkwardly

"I Can't Do This Anymore" I Said Softly

"Do What Anymore?" Lloyd Asked

Without An Answer, I Got Up And Ran To The Front Door

I Tore It Open And Ran Outside, Leaving It Open Behind Me

I Heard The Team Running After Me

"Kai Wait!"

"Where Are You Going?"

I Ignored Them And Just Kept Running Ahead

I Reached The Forest And Just Kept Moving Forward

I Came Here A Lot When I Reach My Breaking Point

But Now, I Just Sped Through The Forest

I Looked Up At A Tall And Large Tree Then Back Behind Me

I Couldn't See Them

I Quickly Climbed Up The Tree And Hid On A Branch That Was Conpletly Covered By Leaves

I Was Pratically Inside The Tree

I Couldn't Run Forever So I Just Waited For Them To Pass Under

I Heard Their Footsteps And Stayed Very Still

I Then Heard Talking

"Why Did He Run Away Like That?" I Heard Cole Asked

"Im Not Sure, He Never Acts Like This" Said A Confused Lloyd

Jay Sighed

"Its All My Fault, If I Hadn't Accused Him..." Said Jay

"Jay It Is Not Your Fault, Its All Of Our Faults, We Pressured Him Too Much That He Couldn't Take It Anymore" Consoled Zane

"He Does Things For A Reason, We Were Too Occupied To Notice Those Reasons" Admitted Lloyd

I Felt Guilty For How I Was Acting

But Zane Was Right, It Was Too Much For Me

They Talked Again

"So What Do We Do?" Asked Cole "Should We Keep Looking For Him?"

"Kai Is Reasonable, He'll Come Around, Besides It's Sundown" Said Zane

I Looked Up At The Sky

He Was Right, The Sky Was A Mix Of Orange And Pink

When I Directed My Attention Back At Them They Were Already Gone

I Sighed

Maybe I Should Stay In This Tree Till I Get My Feelings Sorted Out

Now That Is Gonna Take A While
