The New Beginning

Shocking surprise.

Atem's POV

I walk downstairs to see what she wanted. I am so curious to see what she wants and why so late at that. I looked at the clock and it was passed 1 o'clock in the morning. I shook my head as I continued to walk down the cold stairs. I sighed and I finally opened the door to see her standing there while she was about to get the courage to knock on the door. I beat her before she could get the chance to knock on the door. I looked at her and I could see old tears on her face. Part of me felt bad, but at the same time I think she is being a little too dramatic. Then again I need to put myself in her shoes and when I think about it.... Yeah it would suck to be in her shoes.

"Hey Tea, what are you doing here so late?" I raised up my eyebrow as I welcomed her inside. It was pretty chilly and I didn't want to have this conversation in the cold. We went into the living area to sit down and I could tell she wanted to say so much but at the same time I could tell she didn't want to say a word.

"I know you have a lot on your mind and I am here so please tell me what is on your mind. I know things may seem different now, but I have never stopped being your friend. You may have stopped being mine, but that doesn't mean I have stopped." I smiled at her and I could see tears falling down her face. I know this hurts her knowing that Yugi and I are together. It's always been him and I. I know I may have given her false hope or giving her ideas that I was into her. I honestly feel bad, but it's nothing I could help. I then see her eyes look at me finally.

"Ate..em. It just hurts. I have been in love with you for so long and then once I finally get over you I end up falling in love with Yugi. Like it honestly took me by surprise. I had no idea. I am happy for you both, I really am. It just hurts getting my heart broken twice. I have fallen in love twice and I have been the only one who has been the one falling and not being caught. I just wanted to know what was wrong with me. Like you both have denied me and I have no idea why. Like I know you both have your reasons. I want to know from Yugi too, but I will save that for another time. I just need to know why you didn't feel anything towards me, was it something I could've done or..." I stopped her before she said anymore. I put my finger on her lips and had her take a deep breath. She calmed down and I smiled at her.

"There is nothing wrong with you. You didn't say anything or could've done anything that could've made me feel anything different. It's just I have always felt something towards Yugi and I never really knew what it was until it was too late. After that last duel we had that's when I knew our bond was something so much more. It took a long time before I realized it though, the longer I was away and the more I thought about our time together... I just knew it was so much more and I was too blind to see it when I was with him during those few years. It's like that saying 'You never know what you have till it's gone', and it is so true. I did everything and more to come back to Yugi. I have always loved Yugi, and I am so sorry if I led you at anyway. You're a wonderful and beautiful young lady with so much talent. You will find someone who is going to cherish you and love you for all that you are and more." I said with a smile.

She looked at me and she did something that I never thought she would do. She kissed me. She freakin' kissed me. My head was spinning. I didn't know what to say or what to think. I was actually very confused. I was not expecting to be confused...

What do I do?
