I took a bite of my chicken nugget and felt my eyes widen. "Mmmmmmm it tastes soo good!" Arashi and Anora laughed. My phone rang and I put it to my ear. "Hello?" "Hey where did you go?! Are you ok?" It was Ta-Kun. "Yeah Nora-Nee and Arashi-Nii took me to McDonalds." "WHAT?! I WANNA GO!!" I chuckled. "Well then you should join us." I told him where we were and then hung up. "It's nice when we can hang out like this....normally when we see each other we're all scared and can't wait to run away." I took a sip of my drink. And waited for Ta-Kun to get here.

Aaralyn started to walk away. My eyes widened. I didn't want her to leave. Before I knew it my hand reached out and grabbed her wrist. She turned around. I felt my face turn red, but I didn't let her go. "I...I don't want you to leave..." She looked up into my eyes. "I don't want to be the cause of anyone getting hurt." I shook my head. "Y...you know why I keep smiling..I do it cause if I don't...everyone will give up. I need to protect them. If I can act strong and draw his anger to me then I don't care what he does. But...if you leave...I might not be able to do it anymore. I like you...I like being your friend. Kanayuki's ruined everything else. I refuse to let him ruin this." She shook her head. "He can't get mad that you're here. If my family hires you he can't say anything!...Please...don't leave..."
