It was one of the stormiest days she had seen all summer. The morning had been pretty misty, which Aya joked a lot about, ‘misty just like what your name means!’ she had said. Aya made references to her and the weather, ‘its almost as dark as your hair!’ Except her hair was jet black, which made her snort at the other.
By the time it was noon, it was storming. Even through the slight darkness, Aya pointed at a figure that was seen outside the window.
“What’s a teenager doing out in this weather?” Aya was surprised and worry was evident in her voice.
“Huh?” Kasumi turned to look. She saw a boy crouched against the wall of the building next door, with a flimsy yellow umbrella over his head.
“Kasumi you have to go to him…” Aya paused and bit

It couldn’t be. Kasumi wasn’t listening to what they were saying. Her mind was in chaos. The people in uniform covered Aya’s face with a sheet, while Kise was trying to calm crying children, who thankfully didn’t see anything, down.
“Aya why…” She immediately ran over to her side and knelt down to check Aya’s pulse.
Nothing.
She couldn’t believe it… it was simply unreal. Her death was impossible, but yet she died.
It finally caught up to her. Tears started to roll down her face, and they fell and fell, not seeming to end.
“I’m sorry…” She choked out.
She grabbed Aya’s cold hand that almost seemed foreign to her and lightly squeezed. “For everything. For being so awful when we met. I-I’m so sorry. I n-never had the chance to tell you how important you are to me and o-oh god we never had the chance to...help you...walk. Please forgive me.”
No one else said a word. There was a quietness and stillness in which no other sound was heard other than the cry of one Kasumi Morita. She cried more and more, the loss hurt her heart. Someone she admired, respected, believed in, and supported… was dead.
What was she going to do?

She slowly fluttered her eyelids to see there was also a girl at the end of the bed. Her friend Laila had invited herself in once again.
“Hey sleepy head! What are you doing here? It’s time for schoo!”
She strolled in with a basket that seemed very familiar.
“Why are you not in that pet...shop?” Kasumi asked her friend but her throat was still sore from crying and yelling.
“What pet shop? Today is the day! We’re going to give our teachers a surprise~ did you forget?” Laila grinned.
It can’t be.
“W-what day is today?” She slowly got up but then rushed out of the room.
Laila was startled but followed her anyways, “It’s the last day of school! But where are you going? At least change out of your pajamas!” She yelled.
“Hey! Kasumi!” Her friend’s voice was fading fast as Kasumi rushed down the stairs and opened the door to get out.
Her eyes began to tear up as her emotions began to take over. She wouldn’t be gone right?
She quickly ran through the sidewalk, bumping into anyone’s shoulder who was near her. People stared at her curious at her choice of attire.
She willed her legs to move faster. Please be
“This ones going to kill my story. It was so happy and magical.” Elizabeth fluttered to the front of the room.
Sarah shook her head and climbed beneath Lucy-Lou’s bed, as though having already seen it. Lucy-Lou kneeled down and peered underneath. She held out the plate of cookies. “Sooner or later, you’re gonna have to come out.”
“Brother dear why are you so sad?” she said voice full of love and concern for her brother.
Her heart was beating quickly now and her body became warm. Tears welled up in her eyes but she continued gazing at her daughter, hoping she had made a connection, a break through.
Lily jumps up and makes it to the front door; dropping her camera. “Mom!” She yelled as her mother turned around.
“I’m sorry if I’m being nosy, but may I ask what happened sweetie?” the woman asked.
This was her first response to the news of his death. She would not had grieved over someone she did not love. Even in the heat of her passion she thinks about her lost love.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t understand.” declared Alice. “What happened to you?” she asked again.
“All the usual ones. But it’s weird. I could swear that the Cat moved, ‘cause now it’s twining around the base of the Flower.”
“Lexie, sweet heart, what’s wrong?” I asked as I looked at her face with soaking wet cheeks. She then looked up at me with bright red eyes, tears still spilling out.
She opened her mouth, but then to my surprise closed it quickly again and stomped back up the stairs to her room.
"Wh-y?" A broken whisper cried. It had been an eternity since I had last heard her voice. My eyes began to dampen for I had forgotten the sound of it. I faced back towards my mother in shock. She just stared, unseeing. Her m...
