He couldn't… What had it been? A week? Two weeks? Had she replaced him already? His heart ached. He hoped not, he hoped she reminiscence awhile longer, he hoped – he hoped – He hoped she never will get over him. But then, she would be alone, like her. Alone. She didn't deserve this punishment. Only he did. He deserved to be alone. To never have someone to care for him… He felt like crying. "Usa-ko…" How beautiful the name was. Did she let another call her by that? The name he had given her as a sign of complete love for the other as she had given him Mamo- chan? Could the name get anymore personal than that which he had called her? His head banged. His heartache. "I miss you…" The days had went by ever so slowly. The month passed by. The seasons began to change. It was winter. ~~~ Romantic. That was what winter had always been. A romantic season. She could help but feel as if the icy snow has finally reached her heart. How romantic can it be when you had no one to sit next to warm up with? She shuddered, it was so cold… she looked out the window. How was he doing? Was he in love with another yet? Or was he like her? Still lingering upon the past that had been broken. But still be able to become mended by a single phone call. She sighed, clutching upon the stuff rabbit doll that she had. Mamoru had bought her it the previous Christmas, knowing how much she loved stuff bunnies. "Usagi-chan!" A voice called from the other side of the door, she had walked towards it and opened it, and roses touched her noses. The arousing smell had caused her to shudder. A bang to her heart. Memories – Mamo-chan… "Don't you like? Seiya said he was embarrass to give this to you… so he told me to give it to you!! (giggles) Mamoru has already have some competition, if only Seiya knew you were destined for another…" Minako's sweet voice had told her as she stared at the roses mesmerized. 'Destined for another…' She was suppose to be destined to Mamo-chan. But now that he had left her, whom was she destined for? Seiya? No – he was just another 'Mamoru'… but not her Mamo-chan. "Hai…" She softly whispered, taken the roses into her room. "So, Usagi-chan! Has Mamoru written to you? Sent you anything for Christmas?" Her throat restricted. "Iie… he's been busy, and Christmas is still a couple weeks away. He told me that he's busy, and that school has been hard, but knowing Mamo-chan, he'll be fine." She said, as Minako nodded with a smile. It hurt. She had not heard from Mamoru since he had left her. She had asked Motoki if he heard from Mamoru, but his response was similar to hers. He didn't. "Rei wants to know if you can come to the shrine… she wants to come up with something to do during Christmas weekend." She didn't feel up to it, going would only bring the others to ask question about Mamoru and how was he doing. She didn't feel up to it. "Iie… maybe not today, I'm waiting for Mamoru's call." She giggled profusely, "Okay Usagi, don't want to keep you from your man." She had waved and started down the steps. She watched her friend disappear, as she clutched onto the bunny harder, as the dozen roses fell from her arms and into the trash as she began to bundle up to go out. ~~~ 'Ice Prince.' That's what they had labeled him. He froze at the touch of a girl, quickly pushing them off and saying, "I have a girlfriend back home." He never warmed up to anyone in the opposite gender. He laid down on his bed, his eyes looking at the picture of her. Beautiful. A goddess… And she was once his… Once… "I want to see you again…" If he was only to make an effort. ~~~ She put the key into the doorknob, opening it. She entered it, her eyes looked into the apartment. Mamoru's apartment… Mamo-chan's apartment… Her heart ached… "Mamo-chan…" She closed the door, walking around his apartment, touching everything that she could put her hands on. She opened the balcony, and took in the roses he had left. They were practically freezing… almost dead. She couldn't let that happen. She took a deep breath, as she placed the roses onto the kitchen counter, hoping the heat isolated in the apartment could warm it off. She sighed, as she walked into his bedroom, her heart going to an immediate stop. She could almost smell him in here… But maybe it was because his bedroom was the most personal place of his. She walked in it, touching the clothes within his closet that he didn't bring, rubbing the sweet scent of his cologne onto her, as the exotic smell of roses and Mamo-chan filled her lungs. She crawled into his bed, clutching the blanket around her so tightly as she tried to take him into her – or at least his memory. Tears sprawled upon her eyes. They fell upon the pillow. 'Mamo-chan… I… Can't… Live… Without… You…' ~~~ Ahh… another chapter done… it's pretty sad ne? But hey, it has a simple 'mood' and atmosphere that I like… hehehe… email me! *eternal angel
