It was around nine when I went to Ai's room, curled up next him, and slept. And I had the WORST nightmare ever.

I sat on a bench on the dorm grounds. It was a perfect day-the wind blowing slightly, warm sunshine touching my skin, nothing could ruin it... Or, at least that's what I thought.
I saw Ai, walking by, hands in his hoodie pockets, listening to music with one earphone in.
"Ai!" I called. I saw him glance at me, but he kept on walking.
What the heck? He complete gave me the cold shoulder, I thought.
"Ai!" I called, getting up. "Ai, teba!"
"Nani?" He asked in a voice I've never heard before.
"Ne, Ai. You don't seem happy. Doushita no?"
He glared at me. "Atarimaideshou!" He half yelled. "We lost because of you! You untalented, sorry excuse for a idol!"
"Ai!" I cried. "I know you don't mean that. I know that's not what you believe."
He shook my hand off. "Of course it is."
"Ai, onegai. Please don't say that. Onegai." I pleaded, grabbing his hand again.
"Hanashite! Hanashite yo!" He said.
"Iya da! Ai-" I started.
He slapped me. "Clingy. Baka. Demanding. Baka. Annoying. Most of all, baka bakashi!" He said. "Don't talk to me like we're familiar with each other. Use honorifics."
He walked away.

That scene faded away. A new one appeared.

I was sitting at a restaurant table, alone. I was waiting for Ai, he had reluctantly agreed to meet me here.
He was late.
I excused myself to go outside, and it was a very bad coincidence.
Ai was had in hand with my kohai, Haruka Nanami.
"A-Ai-kun?" I cried, remembering that he told me to use honorifics.
He looked at me, annoyed, obviously bothered that I ruined his moment with Haruka.
"Nani?" He asked.
"Nande, Ai-kun?" I asked, feeling the tears form. "Why are you with Haruka?"
He rolled his eyes. "Obviously, I love her."
A sword pierced my heart when he said that.
"Demo-" I started.
"Why you? Why should I pick you?" He asked. "What are you compared to her? She can create a happy pulse, she helped STARISH win. She cares for other, soft-hearted, pretty. And, you... You're (insert flaws here)."
My tears fell. "But I thought... I thought-"
"Sayonara, ________-san. Sayonara." He said, walking away with Haruka.

It disappeared. And one last scene came.

I was on the altar, alone. My makeup was running, my flowers were scattered all over the floor.
"Nani ga attanda?" I said to myself. "Why am I alone?"
"___________-chan." It was Rei-chan. "Gomen. Ai... Ai..."
"Ai... What?" I asked.
"He died in a car crash. Gomen nasai." Rei-chan said, trying to hold it together for me.
"How?! Why?!" I cried.
"Raging..." Was the simple, yet hate filled reply. "And, they're right behind you."
I turned as Rei-chan disappeared from the scene.
Raging was standing behind me. He stabbed me, then the HEAVENS member with the glasses, then the short one, and then the black haired one.
"Iie!" I cried. "Itai yo! Tasukete!"

The dream ended, and I sat up. "Iie!" I yelled.
I was immediately brought into an embrace. It was Ai.
"Daijoubu. I'm right here. I'm right here, _______." He soothed. "I'm not going anywhere."
I turned to him, and kissed him deeply. No, this isn't a dream.
"You had a nightmare?" He asked after we separated.
"Hai. Demo, it's gone. You're right here." I said.
A silence.
"Ne, Ai," I asked.
"Hmm?" He asked.
"Will you be by my side?" I asked, snuggling into his chest.
"Hai, eien ni." He answered. "Oyasumi, _____. Aishitemasu."
I nodded. "I know you do."
