Zanmau Mystreet: I'll Alway Be The One By Your Side

Chapter 17: The Talk

Pretend that is what Gene looks like in the picture, without highlights...

Zane's POV

Ivy stared at me with her light blue eyes. Her eyes sparkled, but she kind of looked sadden for some reason even though we are together, I guess.

"What's wrong Ivy," I asked curiously. "We are together...you shouldn't be sadden, right," I mumbled. I stared straight at her awkwardly though and feeling my chest hurting.

"Your right, but why did you lie to Aphmau? You still...remember right," Ivy looked down making her light blue eyes sadden a little. She said,"I know I hated Aphmau, but I guess I change. I changed ever since I met you. Aphmau is still really sweet, but there was no need to lie."

I intertwine my fingers to hers and brought both our hands up by each other's side. I closed my eyes and whispered,"I don't know. Probably because the reason I came to this college was because I was running away from..Her..You see Ivy I loved her."

"Do you still...love her," she mumbled looking up at me.

"I-I-well I don't know exactly, but I think it is best if her and I stay apart," I sighed and open both my eyes. I stared at Ivy and saw light blue eyes started having tears forming in her eyes. She let goes of my hands and embraced me in a warm hug. "Don't cry," I smiled slightly, but awkwardly.

"I love you Zane," she said. She laid her chin onto my shoulders.

"I like you too, Ivy," I replied.

"Aphmau, Why did you have to come here...," I thought. I sighed by that thought and laid my hand onto Ivy's pink hair. I began to stroke her hair gently. "Aphmau...I'm sorry," I thought.

Ivy's POV

"Zane...you still love her, right? If you do...I want you to only look at me. I have to be better just for him to like me more," I thought to myself as Zane held me in his warm arms. "I know you love her still, because you only said...I like you to me...please just say I love you," I thought kind of angrily.

Aphmau's POV

I looked over at Gene and stared down at his cold pale hand that held my wrist. Gene pulled me away from the building and pulled me toward a park which seems to have a few people there. They were having picnics, jogging, yoga class, exercising, bringing their kids, bird watching, or just chatting. There were a lot more, but I couldn't see what else everyone was doing.

Gene pulled me toward the pond that was nearby,"Almost there."

Once when we reached the pond I looked around the area in awe. The pond had a lot of shade by the trees surrounding it. No one seemed to come here, because it was well hidden by the people. There were koi fish, catfish, and a few other fish I saw swimming in this pond. The water was clear, and the rocks inside of the pond seemed to make the pond shine brightly even though the sun didn't shine onto the water. Many purple and white flowers surrounded the area. There was a few crimson as well that was place oddly away from the flowers, however there was one very odd flower that is black. Just a single odd, mysterious black flower right in the middle of the pond where there was a small little land.

"Why did you have to take me all the way out here," I mumbled.

"I come here to always clear my mind, the aura coming from this pond always help me calm down," he slightly smiled.

"Um, can you let go of my hand now," I mumbled.

"Oh right sorry," he said quickly and let's go of my hands immediately. He stared at the single black flower and mumbles,"So....what's wrong, kitty?"

"Why would you care," I whispered quietly, but loud enough for him to hear. I walked closer and closer to the pond and keeled down by the water.

"I care because your my kitten," he said and looks down at me staring at my back. "Also, I'm worried about you and wondering how Dante is doing," he said.

"Thank you for showing me this place, Gene," I kept staring at the water.

"Hey Aphmau tell me, What's wrong," he said more sternly and walks closer to me. I didn't say anything yet, so he walked closer and closer. Suddenly he grabbed me by my shoulder making me slightly jump,"Sorry, wait...why are you crying more?!" He grabbed onto some part of his sleeve that was on him and brings it up to my eyes. "Please don't cry," he said in a worried tone.

"I-it's just...when I saw Zane, he didn't remember me. I think there was something else to...b-but it's just...He...I came here for him...I-," I began to cry more and more.

Gene suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward him. He wrapped his arms around me and stroked my raven color hair. He said gently,"Say no more...your crying and your hurt. I will be by your side..right now. Yes, we didn't get along so well on the past, but let me help you."

"Okay," I whispered and cried in his cold strong arms.

PLEASE READ

Would've been longer but my dog died today...He had died...I can barely think! His name was Mini, he grew too old. No one was there when he took his final breaths...we don't know what time he died, my dad only saw him in the morning alive..He left to do other things...and came back to see him gone...gone on a green blanket...

PLEASE do me a favor and pray that he will be in a better place..

Yes...he's in a car right now...meaning we are taking him to something called cremation..meaning he is going to be burned and put into a urn...His ashes...

At least...He will still be alive in our hearts and as long as we still remember him..

One thing for sure he had a liver shut...He lived up to 9 years which was rare...dogs usually die at age 4 to 5 with a liver shut...He was a Chihuahua shih Tzu mix...I love Mini..!!
