"You sure have a lot of fucking explaining to do.." I let him inside. I turn and he picks me up, hugging me tightly. I sigh and hug back. "Where the hell have you been?"

"Around the world," He lets out his boyish laughter. "I would've come much sooner had I know you and Stefan were alive." I nod. "So you explain your story, then I will mine."

"Violeta turned us. Then we got on a boat to leave Bulgaria. Your turn."

"Well, I met someone. Married now. But anyway, I was in love. I asked her to turn me. And honestly, I didn't want to go back. I love my siblings, but why stay in one place when I had all this time to go almost anywhere?" I look at my lap. I'm surprised I wasn't mad. But I knew why. "Are you upset?"

I shake my head. "No. I understand. Bulgaria sucked ass if you were poor. And Stefan and I have separated so many times, it's a whatever situation. I just wish you would've come back to say goodbye." He nods. "How long are you staying? Are we just gonna lose contact after this?"

"Just tonight. So I'm hoping Stefan gets home. Off chasing another lady?" He smiles. "And we have modern technology, so we'll stay in contact." I laugh a little.

Soon Stefan comes home, where he and Rumen catch up. We spent the night drinking and talking. Around 3 a.m. his wife comes by and we introduce ourselves. She was gorgeous. But he took off with him and Stefan and I were left alone. "So what made you in such a pissy mood?" I look at him as he asks.

"I fell in love. With a guy who took his new fiancée to the host club." 

He grabs a blood bag from the fridge before shutting it and leaning against it. "Was it that Kyoya boy? I'd say, if I was gay, I'd be all over that." He laughs a little. "So I can't blame you. But I thought you hated him." 

I sigh. "So did I. But I don't know, something about him just kind of... I don't know." I  lay back groaning. 

Monday seemed to come quickly. I decided to skip classes, making it to the host club when time. I walk in and all eyes on me. "What?" 

I look confused before Kyoya speaks up. "Your arm." I look down at my arm, seeing a stick protruding from my upper arm. I pull it out and throw it away. I was so raged on the way here, I must've been too upset to even notice. I clean the blood from my arm and walk over to my tea cart.

Kyoya comes over to me and looks at me and writes things down in his book. "Ms. Tremaine, how come you missed class today?" 

"I have nothing to say to you." I walk away and sigh, dying inside. Again. 

After the club ends, I do my usual cleaning and Tamaki approaches me. "Willow, are you okay? You were pretty spacey." He softly places his hand on my shoulder. 

I don't know what caused this, but I actually cried. I turned and looked at him and he hugged me tightly. I told him everything and he gave me another hug. "Why don't you tell him how you feel?" 


"He's engaged, Tamaki. Besides, it wouldn't work out anyway. Unless he decided he wanted to turn into a vampire." I look at him. "I don't know what to do." 


"I'd tell him. Would be easier on you I'm sure." He sighs and scratches the back of his head. "I really wish I knew the right answer to all of this." I smile at him.

"You let me talk to you about what's going on. You've done plenty." I kiss his cheek and get off the table we were sitting on. "Hey so question for you. What's with Kaoru's crush on me? It's really obvious. Have you noticed?" He laughs a little and nods. I laugh with him and put my bag over my shoulder. "I guess all see you tomorrow." I smile and head out, going home, going to bed.

---New York City, United States 1924---

I sat in a booth at the local speakeasy, smoking my cigarette and reading my copy of Ulysses. I scan the room and before putting my book in my bag. I get up and walk over to the bar and pull out a quarter for another drink. "One beer, please, Thomas." I sigh as he turns around. My eyes widen as I see Nicolas behind the bar. I blink a few times before Thomas is behind the bar again. I grab my drink before he sets it on the bar. I chug it and order another. 

---Tuscany, Italy 1963---

"This wine is amazing." I sat at a little table with my girlfriend, Anita. It was a secret relationship for obvious reasons. We were wine tasting outside a little wine shop. "I think I'll be buying this bottle. We can enjoy it back at your place." I wink and go inside to purchase a bottle of the wine we sampled. I pull out my wallet and drop it on the counter when I see Nicolas emerge from the back room. I look away before looking back, seeing the shop owner. I sigh and buy the bottle, walking outside and giving it to Anita. "I'm sorry, Anita. We can't do this anymore." I walk off, feeling awful.

---Puebla, Mexico 1998---

I lean against the building, watching the Cinco De Mayo parade. Stefan comes up to me, handing me a beer. "So how long do you plan on staying in Mexico?" He asks, taking a sip of his beer. 

"I don't know. Have a date tonight. So probably tomorrow morning." I laugh a little and sip on my beer. He nods as we watch the parade. A street performer comes down holding the Mexican flag. Again it was Nicolas. He turns his flag and as it goes past his face, it was the performer again. "I have to go." I walk off. 

---Present---

I woke up, thinking of my dream last night, three of the times I really missed my love. Proving that I still was in love with him every time I saw him. 

I get ready for school and stop by a McDonalds for something to eat on the way there. I pull my wallet out of my bag, stepping back in surprise as Kyoya approaches the cash register. "May I take your order?"

"I...Uh.." I blink and it's back to the employee. "Never mind. Not hungry. Sorry." I quickly walk out of there. I run to the school and go to class, taking my seat.
