*Maki's POV*

Time has passed.. Day after day, we slowly drift apart.. Why don't you look my way anymore..? I feel lonely you know.. Why did you have to follow that idiot... It hurts.. so much..

Just.. why..?

Each morning is a pain and each night is just as tiring as the one before. Don't do this to me..

Please come back... I miss you..

I turned the corner only to see Nico and Kimida walking home together. She looks so much happier without me.. Of course.. She hates me, doesn't she?

Maybe she is better off without me..

*Nico's POV*

I followed Nozomi's advice to just follow Koichi-kun but is it fine? I feel like throwing up knowing that I'm doing this to Maki.

"Tch. Are you even listening?" Koichi-kun said, obviously pissed.

"Nico~ Nico~ No. Go bother someone else." I said.

"Whatever. I'll just tell your dad," He snickered, grinning like an evil gremlin.

"Jeez fine! Talk all you want! Not like I would listen! You won't have a reason to go to Father!" I snapped.

I could feel the students gazing at us. It made me very uncomfortable. Turning my head to look down on the floor, embarrassed that I just shouted in the hallway infront of a bunch of people.

I hope I get to see Maki soon.. Please forgive me Maki... I miss you..

*Eli's POV*

"So? What are you going to do? Nico probably won't do anything since you told her you'd do something about their relationship," I asked.

"Silly Elicchi. It's simple. I just need to convince Nico's father," Nozomi grinned as if she had a genius plan, "Are you going to doubt my communication skills?"

"Of course not! It's just.. are you sure this is the best way?" I have to be honest, I did doubt her a bit.

"I never take my words back," She smiled at me, with her loving and trustworthy turquoise eyes. Her smile being as gentle as ever. I stared back at her. The tension just raising higher and higher.

My worry for Nico and Maki slowly left. This is Nozomi we're talking about, she always keep her promises, and when she doesn't.. well I'm the only one who knows that side of her.

"Just promise me that you'll stop me if I go too far or take on something that's too much for me to manage," She said.

"Of course I will," I promised.

A.N. ~ Hello all! How's life? Good? Bad? Well you see, this chapter was pretty rushed. I couldn't find a way to put this section into words. I do apologise for such a late update and how short this chapter actually is. I've been pretty busy with homework :') I'll try my best to make the next chapter good as a compensation.
