I literally wrote this chapter in just a few hours. So why did it take me so long to update? Because I forgot about it.
Oh, and before I forget. I will be going and fixing my previous chapters. No, I am not going retype the entire chapter. I'll just fix some errors and rewrite a paragraph or two. If anything, it would be less than minor changes.

Blossom's POV

Brick had given me strange look. It was like a cross between anger and fear. I didn't know what I had done wrong.

Unless... He had found out.

I knew I had to prepare for this moment. Eventually he would have found out anyway. I tried to act tough, like Kaoru always did, but to no avail, I wanted to sit in a corner and cry.

Deep down, I had wished he would just accept who I was.

I knew that he knew. And, he knew that I lied.

"Blos-" he had started to say, but oddly stopped in the middle of the word. It was my name that he wasn't able to finish saying. I looked down in grief, hoping that this was all just a dream. Why did he make me like him so much? I never had any feelings for him until he came to our school and decided he liked me.

"Urgh," he moaned, fell on his knees, and clutched his head. He ended up taking off his hat, letting it fall to the ground. He started pulling his hair.

"Brick? Are you okay?" I kneeled down to help him. I put my hand on his back.

"M-Momoko? What... What happened?" he muttered. He called me by my real name? What's going on?

"Are you alright, Brick? Do you feel sick?" I asked. He shook his head and shrugged. He grabbed his hat and struggled to stand up on both feet.

"I'm... fine, I think I only got a little dizzy. I just got this major head ache. And I can't... can't remember anything from a few seconds ago... What was I just thinking about?" he asked himself. Brick groaned once again and stared at me.

"Hey, Momoko, why do you always wear that bow in your hair?" he asked suddenly. What?

"I don't know why I'm asking, but I think that's what was going through my mind just few seconds ago," he explained. I paused. This isn't good. I don't know what happened, but I think he just forgot that he learned I was Blossom. But, how could he forget something this important to him?

That's it. I have to stop doing anything that is similar to Blossom. For now, I won't wear this bow.

"There is no particular reason why I wear it. I just do," I gave a half-hearted laugh with this explanation.

It'll have to do for now, but until then, I'll have to slightly change my appearance. No more red bow.

I'll also have to warn Miyako and Kaoru.

"Brick, I don't think you're feeling alright. Maybe you should go home and rest," I encouraged him. He didn't seem to have enough strength to object, so he only nodded.

Afterwords, Brick decided to walk home by himself. He said something about being a man or being strong enough.

"My, my, wasn't that a close one?" a high pitched voice said.

I knew that voice all too well. It sent a shrill up my spine. For the Summer-Fall feeling that once surrounded me, the air now was as cold as ice.

"Him," I called out, hoping someone else would answer back. But there was only silence. Him shouldn't even be here. We destroyed him two years ago, this is impossible!
