------------------------------------------------

It was not a warm or cold day in particular, it was just normal. Everything seemed to be normal, actually, or that's how I woke up thinking it would be. As usual, I got up and went on my way to school. The day slugged by as if time was dragging it's feet. However, when I went to go see Tamaki, everything changed. I remember looking up at the oaken door and knocking hurriedly, as usual. On a typical day, it would've been Tamaki who swung open the door. He would've started talking my ear off about what went on during the day and asked of me the same. This time, however, his mother slowly opened the door. She peered out from the crack in the door before opening it wider. Anne-Sophie looked as if she was anticipating something menacing rather than a scrawny fourteen year old girl. Nevertheless, she smiled at me and asked me to come in. She guided me to the couch and offered me tea, to which I declined. I was too anxious as to where my partner in crime might have been.

"Where's Tamaki?" My voice trembled and her eyes teared up.

As if tending to a wounded animal, she began to explain everything to me. Tamaki had moved to be with his father in Japan, he would not be coming back. At this news, tears swelled in my eyes and my breathing hitched.

"He left without telling me? He didn't even say goodbye!" I yelled so loudly that it echoed in my own ears.

"Sweetheart," She gave me a weak smile. "He didn't get to say goodbye to much of anyone."

"But, why though? Tamaki never even said anything about his father. Why now?" She motioned for me to go sit by her and I obeyed. She hugged me as if I had been Tamaki, feeling the pain after practically loosing a child.

"Tamaki's grandmother didn't like me very much when Tamaki's father and I first met." She began. "Once Tamaki was born, she'd very rarely let us see each other. I'm getting sick right now sweetie. So, she said that if Tamaki went to live with them, she would pay for my treatments."

"So you just let him leave?! You gave him away?" I interrupted.

She shook her head. "Tamaki left on his own, he wouldn't let me not be taken care of, he said. I desperately wanted him to stay, but you and I both know that when Tamaki has his mind set on something he won't let it go."

I nodded my head, knowing that Tamaki would do exactly that. However, by now I was in tears. I couldn't see, but I blindly ran down the street and stopped when I reached the park where we met. I remembered so vividly the bullies beating me down and I never did anything to stop them. Tamaki, though, he had no problem standing up for me, a random girl that he'd never met before. Remembering this, I had a very sharp pain in my chest, it was sob provoking. I looked up and all of the other children were living in their bubbles of happiness. What I didn't understand was how could they all be so happy when I felt like dying. I knew that Tamaki wouldn't want this, he wouldn't want be to behave this way. I knew I had to man up, to tough it out, and to find a way to somehow see him again. I went home and ignored my parents when they asked how Tamaki was. I ignored them every time they continued to ask. I went to bed that day, my heart torn to shreds, and my confidant, my hope, my happiness, everything, was torn from me on that day.
