Patching things up

"I'd rather die with someone than let that person die before my eyes. More so if she's a girl like you."

"Sometimes the things that matter the most are right in front of you."

"Just consider hardships as another part of training and keep working hard."

"No matter what my heart will be forever yours and I will fight until the day I see you again."

My eyes water as I finish the two seasons of Sword Art online. Kirito and Asuna are one of the best couples I've ever seen. Stuck in a virtual game by the game master they fight for their lives in this game - that's not really a game anymore. If you die the game, you die in reality and there's no coming back.

Two warriors bent on winning the game and setting free the SAO players they fight boss after boss trying to make it back to reality.

It's a wonderful story and I'm sure many people would love to watch these two's love story but few don't.

The thought of watching an animation or "cartoon" as many like to classify them as... Which is totally wrong because Cartoons don't have a story line they are just random episodes leading up to nothing whereas Anime is more coordinated and there is always something to look forward to that big climax at leaves you wanting.

Some people hate the idea of watching anime because they see it as childish but I argue if you can sit and watch a Disney animation that 99.9% at times ends in happily ever after why not take the time to anime? - It's more realistic... Sometimes.

Shaking my head I dry my tears before reaching over and taking up the remote. I eject the disc and sigh.

"Those two played my heart like a violin," I say as I stare at the blank screen.

Kirito and Asuna retained their love even in such a life threatening situation, they never gave up and believed with all their heart that they would make it out alive and find each other when they get out.

Love... A word that has so many meanings... A word that can be the most beautiful yet the most destructive.

I look out my bedroom window and sigh at the sight I saw. The sunlight shines into my room brightly as it's noon now. Dust particles dance around haphazardly in the light as it shines on my bed. I reach my hand out trying to touch them just to have them drift away.

So close yet I can't touch.

A knock on my door pulls me from my thoughts and I sigh before telling them to enter. Lexi pops in with a smile on her face and I smile at her reassuringly. It's been two days since Lexi and I's heart to heart and it's been good. We've been spending time together talking and we even had that talk. At first she didn't quite understand why I left but after half an hour of explaining she understood.

She told me that my actions may have their justification but it wasn't the best thing to do. I had left her and not to mention Johnattan into a bad place. She'd explained to me her pain but when I asked about Johnattan's she refused to tell me saying I should hear it from him.

And she didn't look too happy when she said that. Many thoughts ran through my mind but I shook them away. I couldn't jump to conclusions I needed to talk to Johnattan but when is the question... When will I be brave enough to look him into his eyes and speak to him?

Lexi makes her way to my bed side with a knowing smile. "You've got visitors."

I raise my brow with a confused look on my face. "Visitors? I thought you went all mother goose and scared them off."

She rolls her eyes as she defends herself. "You needed to rest, their visits wouldn't allow that so that gave me every right to go bird shit crazy on them."
