I woke up to Kaoru sitting on the floor. Looking at me!

Reika: Whoa!

Kaoru: What had you so upset last night?

Oh right! I wonder if I should tell him? I mean after all it is my past... besides he didn't tell me what bugged him about the empty picture frame or when I almost got hit. Then again if I don't tell him, we might not get that trust state that I want. I want him to trust me as much as I trust him. Besides its not like he's gonna tell anyone.

Reika: Well yesterday when you said we could get out of here is set off some memories in my past. I mean it's just I will be by myself again. I mean I will get use to it but it's just...ugh this is hard.

I felt tears stream down. I just can't I haven't thought of him in years.

Reika: I was in love once. The mans name was Akuhei Horiuchi I adored him. Yet he wasn't in love with me. I don't even know how we met. I just remembered him encouraging me to take photos and sell them. He even bought me my first professional camera. So I took photos and sold them, I also started going to college for photography. Soon enough I got popular. I put all my money away. Eventually we had a lot and I was so in love with him. I was also happy after I graduated and he proposed to me. I thought I had it all together.

Kaoru: ...

This is harder then I thought it would be...

Reika: One day I came home and everything was gone. Even the camera. I had no money he took it all. Every last bit of it. The only thing I have of him was the memories. I threw the engagement ring in the river. I called my Grandmother and bawled. She told me to come live with her so I did. I was depressed for weeks. I didn't want to do anything. For a about eight months. Before to long my birthday came up. My Grandma had made me get out of bed and to come to the kitchen. There was a cake that was just so pretty. It tastes good too! I remember that! It was even homemade. She then came out with a gift box. I opened the box and inside was a professional camera. It wasn't much better then the one I had but it was just as good. I cried. I can't believe I just let everything go. She then told me that she spent her life savings on me. She also told me that obviously he didn't deserve me and there has to be someone out there who does. I then went to apply to be apart of Seaonelle. When I got the job my grandma was so happy! I remember our last adventure! We found a box of kittens to young to eat normal cat food. The mother was no where to be found! We took care of the kittens and handed them away when they were strong enough. All of them except one. I think we know who the little kitten was. I moved out shortly after that. It was the hardest thing of my life.

That was almost three years ago. I mean I graduated college two years early because I took college credit classes for two years plus all the internships I did. My birthday was pretty close by. I would be back and settled by then. I remember when Shusei found out. He over heard me talking to my grandma. Next thing I know is Minato brought me with him to a very long interview. When we got back there was a surprise party waiting for me. It was nice. I honestly love my coworkers.

Reika: That's pretty much it! I am happy with my life now.

Kaoru: Do you believe what your grandma said?

Reika: About what?

Kaoru: He doesn't deserve you someone else does?

Reika: No. I believe that no one will take me for who I am not the things that I do.

Kaoru: ...

He stayed quiet for a moment before clicking on the tv. It was a news channel. I don't know about Kaoru but I sure gasped. There was another bombing.

Authors Note: I know I sad no sad back stories but we all have something sad in our life's that's why we relate more when someone has a sad past. Besides in my eyes my other characters have sadder backstory. Anyway this one I wanted to show how she bounced back up and it also shows why she's so protective of her camera. I honestly really thought long and hard for this. I hoped you guys liked it!
