What's Love Without a Heart (Zanmau)

Chapter 1 - First day problems

I sat in the taxi, listening to the hard rain boom against the windows. I held my dog, Celesta, in my hands, slowly petting her. The taxi stopped at a tall building, he opened the window in front of me and yelled, "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY CAR!" My face was shocked. I took my collar and leash and put them on Celesta and opened the door. She jumped out, I walked out, carefully not to get slammed by the taxi driver. I slammed the door and glared at the driver. I walked over to the trunk, before he yelled, "SEE YA!" and drove off. I sighed, luckily I only put my hairbrush and things like that in it. Everything else was in a moving van, and with Katelyn.

Celesta turned to the building, pulling on the leash, I tugged her away. I opened my umbrella and walked, she walked with me. As we were walking, I turned my head to my surroundings. I saw to my left, a guy in a black, white, and grey jacket, with the hoodie reversed into a mask. He looked over at us, my eyes widened and started to run to the entrance. Celesta ran faster than me. I pulled down my umbrella and walked in. I walked up to the lady and ask her for B22, my apartment, keys. 

"Sorry miss, I don't have that key, well, I mean I do, but, you haven't clarified yourself." I started to talk when the entrance door opened, I turned. Celesta ran up to the man, it was the guy form before. He was bit taller than me. The lady smiled.

"Oh my goodness, Zane, how are you?"

"Good Mrs. Winston, how about you?"

"Fair, having trouble with this ladies key," the man named, Zane, eyes widened, or, eye as he looked at me.

"A-Aphmau?!" he questioned me.

"That's my name," I replied. I looked at the guy once more, before realizing.

"It's me, Zane, from high school!" I stood there in silence. Suddenly, I remembered. I gasped and my face explained everything. 

"I remember you!" I exclaimed as I walked over.

"Mrs. Winston, this is the girl I was talking about from-" he stopped as he saw the clock.

"Mrs. Winston, that clock is how many minutes slow?"

"Ten." Zane started to sweat and apologized to me as he ran to the buzzer.

"Zane, what's wrong?" he didn't bother to answer.

"Garroth, Dante, Laurance, anyone there?!" he yelled into the buzzer. He cursed under his breath as he pulled away from the buzzer.

"Yeah little brother, you need up?"

"Yeah- wait, is Dante there?"

"He's coming down, he was going to look for you." I listened closely to that voice and the names he stated. All from high school, in this building. Zane sighed and replied to Garroth with a thank you before he buzzed off. He waited by the elevator, I didn't bother, it seemed important. I walked up to the lady and once again asked for my key, she gave in and gave me it. The elevator dinged and I saw a guy with blue hair and a red jacket. I remembered him too, Dante. I was surprised and happy to know everyone Zane named, even him, but it wasn't a  good time to show it. Zane grabbed Dante's hand and rushed out the door. I heard a clash against the floor, his phone. I turned to Zane before he rushed out.

"Zane, you dropped-"

"Can't talk now, maybe later," he said before he ran out. I walked over and picked up the phone, access code, dang it. I pushed the elevator opened before it closed and went to push the tenth floor button. The elevator started to close, Celesta ran through it before it could smash her into the wall, becoming a sandwich. She jumped into my arms, I cuddled her. The elevator zoomed to the top, I read the numbers, 7, 8, 9, ding ding 10. The doors opened like it was some sort of grand opening to a movie premiere. I held Celesta as I walked down the hallway, looking for my room. I saw to my left up ahead, B22. I started to walk a bit faster, before I got hit by a door. I held my nose, dropping Celesta.   

"Oh, I am so sorry miss," the guy said. I knew that voice.

"It's okay...it was an accident," I replied to him. He took my hand and drew it away from my face. His eyes widened. He dropped my hand.

"A-Aphmau?! Aphmau?!" he repeated.

"Yeah, that's me," I said, still in pain.

"Garroth, who are you talking-" another guy said before stopping.

"Aphmau?!" he said. I sighed.

"Yes, that's me, for the third time." The guy questioned me.

"You mean second time-"

"No, I told a guy named Zane downstairs that I knew since-" One of the guys pulled my other hand away from my nose and told me to open my eyes. I did, it was them, Laurance and Garroth.

"Oh, my, Irene," I hugged them both. I heard Garroth crying a bit, I smiled.

"We missed you so much," Laurance said, holding me tighter. I felt his grey shirt rub against my chest, and his scarf, Garroths jacket did the same. I suddenly heard a door open, I started to let go before I heard a dog bark, Celesta.

"Shoot! Where's C-"

"Garroth~Kun, Kawaii~Chan found a lost puppy!" a high pitched girl screamed. It sounded so sweet, like cherry blossoms. I stopped for a minute, puppy, Kawaii~Chan. I turned away from the guys and looked at the girl, she was from high school too.

"A-Aphmau~S-Senpai?" she dropped Celesta. She ran to me, my eyes widened.

"Oh my gosh, Kawaii~Chan!" I ran to her, ignoring Celesta. I hugged her, she hugged me. I started  to hear buzzing noises, she was also crying, trying to cry over the noise. I suddenly heard Katelyn's voice.

"Katelyn~Sama? I hear her!" Kawaii~Chan said. I opened my door, Celesta rushing in. Everyone followed me. I followed the beeping noise, Garroth directed me over to my buzzer. I listened closely.

"Hey, the moving van's here, so am I, Aphmau?" I pushed the buzzer, nothing, I couldn't talk. I soon heard a buzz, Garroth told me to talk.

"Yeah, I'm here, so are a couple people," I smiled. Everyone yelled hi into the buzzer. I can just imagine Katelyn's face expression. I let go of the buzzer. I heard crying and screaming.

"AHHHHH! Oh my Irene! Is that Garroth, Laurance, and Kawaii~Chan?!" she asked, still crying and screaming. I replied yes, all I heard in reply was a bunch of screaming. I told her were coming now, she stopped crying and agreed. I grabbed everyone and rushed to the elevator, slamming the door, Celesta in my arms.
