"Give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you right now?" She store at me. Her brilliant heart shape pupils looked coldly on mines.

There we were, stuck in a small dark room. The grey cinder bricks accompanied our loneliness. They were both stuck together with no other choice.

"Because. Would that really be love?"

"..."

"You say you love me. You say you want to be with me no matter what. You go out of your way make sure that you can have me but do you actually give me a choice? Do you actually make me give the choice as to who I want to love. Love is something that both parties must agree to. This is something you should already know yourself but it seems you ignore it all."

She backed off and sat back on the bed.

"Why can't you just accept that I don't love you?"

She sat in the bed. Her light pink hair covered over her eyes. She began trembling.

"Because...because," a tear fell down her eye, "I was never loved."

"..."

"I never could feel love. My family never loved me. They never even came to my graduation. They never even came to my birthday parties. I never even got a happy birthday or anything." Her voice trembled after every word.

"Yamaoka..."

"I only love you because I see how you treat HER. I'm tired of seeing HER being loved. Im tired of seeing you guys hug, or kiss or even just spend time with each other. I just want that. I want to be HER. I want to be loved."

"Yamaoka..."

Her eyes went back to a light gray. Her form went back to her basic human self. She curled up.

I sat next to her. Never before has she appeared so defenseless.

I hugged her. She slowly stopped crying.

"I understand. I understand everything you're going through. I understand what you want. I go through the same thing sometimes. Before when I was a child I always wanted attention. My big sister always got attention. "

"..."

"This made me angry. I then tried looking for friends at school to feel more accepted. I desperately looked for friends everywhere until I couldn't anymore. I was a fool for doing that."

"That's heavy."

"Yes. But I learned that while it may suck I had to work on myself. I learned that you have to love yourself before you love others. You have to trust what you feel feel inside. That's how you will learn how to truly love."

She pondered on the statement for a while.

"So, you're saying I should trust what I feel in my body and learn to love myself first before I can love others."

"Yes."

"..."

"Okay. I will do that."

"Great!" I was delighted to hear she got what i was trying to say. I began getting up from the bed. She immediately grabbed my hand.

"But I have one more thing I have to ask."

Before I could fully turn around she kissed me. She gave me a bear hug and held me tight.

"Do you love me?" I saw her eyes. No longer was she looking at me in disgust or anger. Now she looked tame. Here she was now being a true girl. The blushing from her hidden female display was now in full display. Never have i seen her like this.

She never stopped hugging me that night.
