It was afternoon after our sleepover that day. Rin and I both tried to look happy, but we both knew that we weren't happy at all. When we arrived at the airport with Rin's mom and Gou, we immediately were united with Kaito, who was there to pick me up after Rin leaves. I greeted him and hugged him, and he patted my head. He then gazed up and gave Rin a cold stare. When I turned around, I can saw Rin standing there, completely frozen in place because of my brother.
Kaito scoffed and got his expression softened. He went over to him and rubbed his hair. Rin's was shocked, because he never experienced Kaito acting that way toward him.
"Please, be safe, and hope you can achieve your dream in Australia." Kaito said
Rin's eyes glowed in excitement "Thank you Kaito!"
"Hmph, that doesn't mean I approve you or anything, so don't get too cocky..." he replied.
"Kaito!" I smacked him on his shoulder, "That is not a nice thing to say!"
"Whatever.." He said

Rin and I talked until the last minute, sitting down on the airport benches and holding each other's hands while Kaito, Gou, and Rin's mom gave us privacy. When the announcement was made for him to leave to Australia, we stood up and went in front of the gate. The silence filled the atmosphere.
"... Well I guess this is it..." He gave me a weary smile. He caressed the nape of my neck where he bit me yesterday. "I wonder the mark will literally stay there when I come back!" He chuckled.
I snickered for a moment "Well, you have my number and email right?"
"Yup! And I also have this!" He pointed at the locket he was wearing, the one I gave him yesterday. I smiled and he smiled back. "Well it seems like you are prepared!" I said.
I hesitated for a few seconds but I drew myself close to him and kissed him. His eyes were widened in surprise, but then closed his eyes, feeling the kiss. The kiss seemed like forever until I leaned away and stared at him and whispered "This is good bye kiss I guess..."
He smiled, he took a look at his watch, "Shoot! Well I will call you, (y/n)! If I don't leave now, I will miss the plane!" He ran to the gate.
"Bye Rin!" I yelled, waving. He turned around smiled to his fullest and waved to me.
Then the gate closed, taking my Rin away from me...

Since then, me and Rin had been calling each other and emailed each other every day. It seemed okay without him here in Iwatobi, because of the fact that we still communicate.
One year has passed and I am in 1st year of Middle School, and I have joined the swim team, and was keeping communicating with him.
One day when we were calling each other as we usually do, he sounded like he was depressed than usual, so I tried my best to cheer him up.
"... (y/n)?" Rin said.
"Yes?" I replied
".... I want our relationships to be over.... I am really getting sick of you calling me and emailing me every day. It feels like you are dragging me behind, I couldn't accomplish anything. You are such a bother to me. I also found someone I actually love... Being with her made me think that everything we did was childish act... So never call me again or talk to me.."
"..." I pressed the end call button. My heart sank. The world seems to spin really fast. Rin is breaking up with me... He has found a new love.... He says I am a bother.... He.... He didn't keep his promise.... I didn't know what to do.... I.. I can't breathe.... Only thing I could do, no, I need to do is to scream on the top of my lungs, and that caused Kaito and my parents to come upstairs and ask me for what happened. I don't want them to talk to me today. My head hurts, my heart aches so much, and my brain is processing every single word Rin said.
My mind is questioning me, 'Everything you and Rin did was nothing special at all.'
... It is not... Every single moments we've spend together was special! It was meaningful!
'Then why did he break up with you? Why did he say that you are a bother? Why did he found new love, huh? It's because you are meaningless to him.'
Stop... stop it... It's too much!!
My brain's inquisition gives me headache and massive pain to my heart. All I could see is my parents and Kaito trying to talk to me, but... I can't listen to them at all.....
I... Don't want to think about anything at all.... I abruptly ran outside of my room, tears rolling down on my cheek, and leaving my family behind. I can hear them calling my name, but the impact was too much for me to even care. I ran outside of my house. I ran and ran. I don't even care where I am heading to, I just don't care. I just want this pain to end.... It hurts.....
I ran until my leg throbs, and I stopped at the middle of the car road, trying to catch my breath. I looked up to the sky, looking at the stars. My mind gave me all the memories I had with Rin. I loved him... I really loved him... Now, these memories won't matter anymore. Because he doesn't love me anymore..... I don't even know what to do from now on,... It feels like my future has been taken away.... What should I do?
To my far right, I can see the light with honking sound....
........ Then, everything blacked out......
.
.

When I opened my eyes, everything was blurry. Apparently, I was in a room, covered with white. I smelled a really strong medicine. Am I..... in the hospital?
"Thank goodness (y/n)!!!" That familiar voice... Mom?
I turned to my right, and there were mom, dad, and Kaito, with expression of relieves on their face.
I tried to speak, but nothing came out of my mouth...
"You were in a car accident dear." My dad said. "Good thing is that it wasn't fatal, so it wouldn't give you too much impact on your life." He smiled.
Oh..... wouldn't give me 'too much impact' on my life.... My life had already been destroyed...
While they were giving me lectures, their worried thought, and their relieves, I was only thinking about what happened between me and Rin.
Thinking about the pain that happened to me drew me to a one, solid conclusion...
True love only happens in dream.
Thinking about that conclusion made my pain in my heart to cease away.
I muttered "True love only happens in dream..." And that made my family to look at each other, then me in utterly confused expression.....
True love only happens in dream....
