♥ MY NUMBER ONE ♥ FINAL CHAPTER

May 25, 2009 16:49


Chapter 16
A month has passed and the JUMP rehearsal room had never been the same again
since Andrea stopped attending their rehearsals and it seems that she had completely
dissappeared from their lives. All of them tried calling her but her phone was always dead.
Hikaru & Chinnen had made it a habit to pass by at her house and check if she's in but they
always spot a dark empty house with flowers withering at it's garden just like how the two of them
picture theirselves without her. Daiki was also surprised to see no trace of Andrea in school.
Everybody had no idea where Andrea is and they are all worried with what's happening to the band.
The band had cancelled all their photoshoots, magazine interviews, gigs and TV appearances.
It's most likely been out in the media that the band had broken up. Articles & Rumors about how they
broke up filled a lot of magazines and the worst part is that they thought Hikaru was thrown out of the band
and the agency because he was seen again with Princess Kumie Kiyo. Paparazzi photos of Hikaru and Kiyo
in the rain hugging each other spreaded in the internet. Even Johnny himself was convinced by all the paparazzi
photos that he called out the whole JUMP to see him in his office.
They all started out greeting him formally. Tense and curious that they were~ they thought they would hear
news about Andrea. They were also scared if Mr.Kitagawa found out about what happened between
Hikaru and Andrea. They would all be pulled into a catastrophe if he did and so is Andrea~ since they
did stated in their contracts that they cannot have romantic relationships within the collaboration and
that they would only be associated in doing their work and if that did happen~ JUMP would all be suspended.
Andrea might lose her job and career knowing how powerful Kitagawa was and how strict he is with contracts.
They all remained standing there for 5 minutes as they wait for Kitagawa to speak. Kitagawa with his elbows on the table
fingers crunched together covering his mouth. His mad little eyes scanning 10 scared and impaired faces.
''I would like to inform all of you that Akiyama Andrea's management had cancelled their contract with the collaboration
and that the song and video would be released as Jump's. We've already voiced it out in the media that the band
is completely done and Jump would continue to be the old boyband that I established the 10 of you to be~ ''
he spoke with his subtle cold voice. JUMP felt sorrow and emptiness as they continue to hear. Andrea is like
a family to them. She's the one who brought life and quirk in their boring and lifeless days. The stubborn
tomboy that they all enjoyed being with and working with. Now the fun times they had with her are all over.
Gone like a bubble. Now they're all back to encounter the same old life they had.
Hikaru and Chinnen both died on the inside as Kitagawa explain more things. ''I'll arrange a Winter Concert Tour around the nation and I want all of you to...''
Hikaru was too surprised with the announcement of Andrea's cancellation of contract that he wants to know more about
it '' Sir! May I interrupt?'' Kitagawa nod and faced him. ''Can you let us know more details why Andrea had decided to cancel her contract?'' ''Im sorry~ son but her management havent told anything about it~ they just informed us that they want to cancel the collaboration and that's it''
Hikaru felt hopeless~ ''I see~'' Kitagawa looked at him strangely but he slowly felt merciless as he pulled the paparazzi photos from the printer and shoved it to their faces. ''The reason why I also called all of you here is because of this''
They all gasped and covered their mouths as they saw the photos. Chinnen as an exception though.
''This had spreaded like wild fire through the internet.''
Hikaru was caught guilty and he apologized. ''I'm sorry for causing trouble..Sir.'' he dropped his head.
''Didn't I told you.. not to see the Princess anymore? Her father and the Kumies would start another
conflict stating how irresponsible I am for my talents and you know how he threathens the Jimusho to be
taken down have you? Have you thought about your job and the agency before canoodling with that tramp?''
''I apologize Sir~ I swear to God I'll never do it again~'' Hikaru kneeled down the floor and pleaded.
The BEST members kneeled with him and started apologizing. ''Please dont fire Hikaru~ Johnny-sama''
Johnny gaved in after a few pleads and cries. ''Fine~ I wont throw you out the agency~ but you are suspended
for 4 months after the Winter Concert Tour~ and BEST wont have a solo concert unlike 7. BEST wouldnt
be given a summer vacation in South East Asia. BEST would be cleaning the Jimusho's basement for the whole summer
and be instructors for the juniors~'' ''Areh? We will have a solo concert?'' Yamada's eyes widened.
''A summer vacation?'' Yuto was also astonished. ''In Boracay?'' Chi's knees weakened. ''We'll have a concert without BEST?'' Morimoto was shocked. ''BANZZAIII!!!!'' Keito jumped and rejoiced unexpectedly.
Everybody was surprised even Kitagawa. ''Sorry~'' Keito stopped. ''..atleast youre still part of JUMP..Hikaru-kun!''
They all simpered and embraced Hikaru. Everybody was a bit relieved but the guilt is killing Chinnen and Daiki.
It really was their fault Hikaru & the BEST members got into it. If only they could tell them but it feels like
they wont ever forgive them.Finally they we're all sent out of the room~ while Johnny was touched by their togetherness he was sobbing on a dozen kleenex as they get out.
''Thank goodness~ Hikaru~ you didnt got fired..'' Takaki clinged his arm around Hikaru's neck.
''We shall celebrate~''Yabu suggested. Celebration isnt really on Hikaru's mind right now.
He felt a bit happy that his friends stand up for him and prevented him from losing his job and career.
Even though he got them into some big work and a tiring summer. But Andrea kept on crossing his mind
and it's making him still feel miserable. ''OH~come on Hikaru~ you must move on~ we might never see
Andrea again~ we dont even know where she is and she just left our band without even telling us''
Yabu spoke. ''You are aware that I am obviously the whole reason why she left us?''
''You know I have to ask you something~'' Takaki continues ''..why would you see Kiyo when youre really
inlove with Andrea?'' ''I know this was the most stupidest thing I've ever done~ cause I gaved in to temptation
when I shouldve had prove to her that I am DEEPLY and MADLY inlove with her~ but you know what.. I realized how
much I love her and how different she is from every girl out there now that she is gone~'' Hikaru cant help it but to cry
on Takaki's shoulder. It's also been 4 weeks that Hikaru was crying on his shoulder that Takaki was kinda getting
used to it but everybody's scared that this wouldnt end until he saw Andrea again which seems quiet impossible now.
The 7 members parted ways with the BEST members as they reach the exit of the Jimusho. Daiki also bid goodbye
saying he still has this thing in school that he has to take care of and the 4 BEST members we're left there standing in the exit waiting for Hikaru to pick his self up together. They heard loud manly laughters coming from behind~ they all
turned their heads and saw their sempais [NEWS, ARASHI,KAT-TUN, KANJANI8 and etc.] with batallion of juniors.
Nishikido Ryo accidentally bumped into Takaki and Hikaru while he was talking to the juniors ''Watch where youre going!'' he yelled as the 3 of them fell on the floor and the juniors started laughing. ''Sumimasen~'' Takaki and Hikaru apoligized. Hikaru's eyes we're still puffy and a rush of sympathy ran to Ryo's veins. ''What happened to him?''
The other sempais came closer and started questioning. Hikaru was their baby especially when he was like 7 years old
they treated him as their younger brother. ''Hikaru~ daijoubo?'' but Hikaru just bowed his head and tried to paint a fake smile.''He almost got fired~ and.. he lost his girlfriend~'' Yabu spoke. ''Oh that's the Princess Kiyo right?'' Yamapi
asked. ''Oh~ I saw those pictures in the internet too'' Kame widened his eyes. ''The one where the 2 of you we're
like kissing in the rain?'' ''We're not kissing~ and she isnt my girlfriend~'' Hikaru's guard turned on. ''Whoa~ easy
easy Hika-chan'' Nino tried to calm Hikaru down. ''Sure now he's on denial~''Koki chuckled. Takaki and Yabu glanced at
each other knowing that everybody in the Jimusho wasnt really aware of Andrea's presence.''Dont mind him~
you dudes wanna go at my house? We're holding a party tonight?''Ryo invited. The 4 of them just dazed.
''Come on~ the juniors would be there too and we're going to hold a Guitar Hero competition for all you younger ones
and we'll have lots of fun~'' Taguchi insists. ''..and it's also a surprise farewell party for Ryo's cousin who would be
leaving for Germany tommorow.'' ''Yeah~ and maybe you guys could meet her too~ you know Hikaru she just broke up with her moron boyfriend a month ago and maybe you guys can connect with each other~ huh? What do you think about that?'' ''Is she HOT?'' Takaki asked with a grin. Ryo just flashed a half smile. ''Well if her cousin is THIS hot~
how would you imagine her to be?'' ''Sorry~ Ryo~ but Im not into meeting girls now~ there's only one girl in my mind and she's already driving me crazy~'' Hikaru tried to walk away but Inoo and Yabu stopped him. ''Come on man~ you should move on~ besides imagine a hot female version of Ryo-san wouldnt that be like~total madness?''
''I told you I'm commited only to one girl~ only to her and she is~ Aaaannnddd...'' Yabu covered Hikaru's mouth.
''We're coming~ ''Yabu accepted the invitation. ''..okay we know youre commited to her~ but let me ,Inoo and Takaki have this chance to meet that girl too~ if you dont like her~ then we'll have her~'' Yabu whispered in his ear.
''but I still dont wanna go to that party!'' Hikaru yelled. ''I just wanna go home~''
''..but we presented ourselves to stick with you the whole summer havent we? Hikaru~ we've been living this misery and dread with you for the past 4 weeks~ we should all move on and face the new opportunities...like this one~'' Inoo
reasoned. Hikaru felt helpless he doesnt want to do the same things over and over again. He doesnt want to get to
know a new girl. He knew he's still inlove with Andrea and she's the only person he's longing to be with. ''Im not gonna
talk to the girl or connect with her whatsoever but I'm going to come with you but I'll leave right away~''
''Yoish~ fine~ we wont let you near her if you want to~'' the NEWS members laughed.
and they all left and drove to Nishikido's residence.
Meanwhile,
Daiki just got out of the school library cause he borrowed a novel for a book report.
The sun was about to set but there we're still a few students roaming around the corridors.
He was trying to read the first chapter of this novel that he picked.
He was so into the book that when he passed the principal's office the door hit his face as it
opened. He fell and roll on the floor. ''ITTAI!'' he yelled with pain.
''Sorry~'' a familiar voice ringed in his ears..she offered her hand to stand him up. ''Andrea~'' his jaw dropped.
''Daiki..'' she quickly turned hear head and walked away with a bunch of papers in her hand. Daiki took a grip
and followed her. ''Wait~'' he also noticed that she wasnt wearing her uniform and she's wearing her own
clothes and her hair were all tied up in a bun. She doesnt look miserable at all unlike Hikaru who looked 10 years
older now. ''Matte~ Andrea~ all of us we're worried with what happened about you and Hikaru~''
''You know Daiki~ you shouldnt really worry about me~ cause I'm totally fine now~'' she was still walking
and he was still chasing her. ''.. and I bet he's completely happy now too~''
''What do you mean? He's totally messed up ever since you left~''
she stopped walking and faced him with a straight face. ''That's not true~ He must be more happy
with Kiyo than with me~ I mean you and I know he's still inlove with her~''
''He's not inlove with her~'' Daiki came closer. ''.. you know the last words that he told you was real~
He really does love you~'' ''I dont wanna talk about this anymore Daiki~''
the papers on her hand caught his eyes and what's written on it totally shocked him out.
''You didnt just bailed out of the band~ youre dropping out too? Are you leaving the city? Leaving everything behind?
Leaving all of us behind? Have you thought about Hikaru?'' Daiki was already shaking her~
''Look!'' she pushed him ''..Im doing this for all of us~ and especially for Hikaru!''
''Well this doesnt help at all!'' ''It does~ once I get out of here and let all of you forget about me youre lives would all
be better~ I knew that ever since I appeared in your lives all I brought was drama!'' she screamed.
''That is so not completely true...ever since we met you our lives HAD become more better and exciting~
are you aware that you brought quirk and fun in our lives that reminded us that we are a TEAM.''
she was strucked. ''.but you know Daiki~ Im doing this for Hikaru too~ If I leave.. he can carry on with his life
with Kiyo, so that I wont ever get involve with the two of them again~'' Daiki's heart broke apart. He knew it was Kiyo who got involved and it's all props to him and Chi~ ''..and you know what.. I'll be leaving tomorrow~ Im going
to move with my aunt in Germany and I'd probbably be gone for a very long time~''
''How about your career and dreams?'' ''You know Daiki~ I dont know what I want anymore and that's why
Im going to take breakaway from here too~ to go lifesearching and find myself~''
''Please dont do this Andy..'' ''Im sorry Daiki but I finally made my desicion..''
''Now~ I wanna ask you this..'' Daiki's eyes pinned to her ''..do you really love Hikaru?''
It took her a moment to look back into his eyes. She took a breath and answered straightly.
''I do~ and that is why Im doing this~'' Daiki swallowed and it kills him not to tell her the truth.
He was about to tell her how he's also part of what happened but a black Ferrari stopped in front of them.
''Andrea~'' Nishikido Ryo waved. ''Oh Arioka~ youre friends with Andrea?''
Daiki just nod. ''I see~ Im throwing a farewell party for Andrea tonight~ wanna come?''
'Uhh~ I still have a book report that needs to be done~'' he refused. ''A party?'' Andrea got a bit upset.
''Ooops~ it's supposed to be a surprise party~'' Ryo covered his mouth. ''Why'd you have to throw a surprise farewell
party?'' ''What? I thought it was a great idea?'' the cousins we're already arguing. ''It's actually a very stupid idea!''
''Come on~ atleast be appreciative'' ''Uhh...'' she was about to go inside the car but Daiki pulled her arm
''Are you really leaving?'' ''Im sorry Daiki~ but thanks for the memories~ I'll miss you a lot~'' she turned, faced him and gave him a big bear hug. Daiki started crying. ''Dont cry~'' ''But I might not see you again anymore''
''That's not true~ hopefully one day~ we'll see each other again~ I promise this isnt the last time we'll see each other~
and oh.. say goodbye for me~ to the others especially Hikaru and Chinnen~'' ''Andrea~~''
''Sayonara..'' she removed her embrace and waved goodbye to him as she and Nishikido Ryo drove away.
Daiki was wping his tears~ he didnt know he could get this emotional~ and the fact that he cant stop her from leaving
hurts so much. And how he tried but didnt succeed to tell her the truth. He took a moment to breathe and reached for his phone and dialed the digits of the person that he knew he should inform the news first.
''Moshi-moshi?''
''Hello~ Chinnen I have to tell you something..''

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At Nishikido Ryo's house,
The lights we're all turned off. They we're all hiding in different places. KAT-TUN we're the ones who baked the cake.
ARASHI was the one in charge of the decorations,the 5 NEWS members we're the ones who cooked the steak,
KANJANI8 prepared an intermission number and the 4 BEST members along with the other juniors hid under the couch. Nakamaru who was hiding next to the 4 decided to chitchat for a bit while waiting. ''Wait a second.. you guys know Nishikido's cousin right?'' ''We do?'' they harmonized. ''Yeah~ I think I saw her before in the Jimusho~ entering your rehearsal room and I saw you guys performing with her in a show in NHK?'' The 4 of them almost faint by hearing that. '..I heard that she moved here with Nishikido last month because she went from a very painful breakup and
her parents asked Nishikido to take good care of her because he's the only family she got here in Tokyo~ and now
she decided to move out of the country~ maybe her exboyfriend was such a jerk! Cause I met Andrea too~ and she's a very sweet person..she doesnt deserve that douchebag at all~'' The 4 of them almost died and Hikaru felt really ashamed of himself. The door opened and a not so surprised Andrea entered the house. ''SURPRIISE!!''
''Sup~'' she raised her hand and smiled but as her eyes glanced over him. Him who's jaw is dropping. Him
who's standing there frozen. Him who's the last person she wanted to see. Him who's always been inside her head.
Him who's the only person that can make her feel vulnerable but she pulled her eyes away as KAT-TUN offered the cake to her. ''Oh you guys baked this? You guys shouldnt have.. it's not even my birthday~'' she was laughing and he
cant stop looking at her. KANJANI8 started singing. Arashi dropped the confetti and the NEWS sempais brought the steak on the table. ''Thank you guys~'' she expressed her gratitude. The juniors formed a huge circle around her and started asking her questions. ''Miss Andrea~ so Nishikido-san is your uncle?'' Shintaro asked naively. ''No~ he's my cousin..'' ''Hey! I do not look like any of our bald uncles~''Ryo tried to defend himself 'Well~ not yet..'' ''Shut up!'' Everybody was laughing and having a great time~ well except for the 4 BEST members who seems
so left out especially Hikaru who felt like the world has crushed upon him. ''It seems that she doesnt really care about me anymore..'' he thought. ''Tell me guys..'' Yabu faced the 3 bored faces. ''..why did we came here again?''
''Well honestly isnt it because of her..'' Inoo pointed at the vibrant girl gaffawing and being the center of attention in the room. The vibrant girl they used to throw high fives with. The vibrant girl whom they shared the best 4 weeks of their lives. The vibrant girl who became part of their lives. And now
she's this vibrant girl who they cant even get close to now~ because of the awkwardness and pain.
''Hikaru~ dont you wanna talk to her?'' Takaki asked. Hikaru is dying to talk her and get close to her but it seems
so hard. He cant even move and he just stood there watching her moving on without him. He's witnessing this
moment that he'd always pray to never come. She's right there~ sitting there with a smile painted in her face
..she didnt even dared gazed at him again. It cuts so deep inside. And to realize it was his fault anyway.
And she's leaving tommorow he cant just let this moment pass him by. She's there with her shining eyes.
She's only footsteps away.

This is the last night.
This is the last chance.
This is the last chance he can prove to her that she means the world to him.
The last time he might see her again.
''Let's just go home~'' Inoo suggested as he got bored watching Hikaru watch Andrea ignore them.
The 3 of them we're about to head to the door but Hikaru raised his head,swallowed his sorrow and
took a step forward.
It was 10 more steps away.

Inoo, Takaki and Yabu all stopped on the door.
8
The juniors turned their heads.

Ryo smiled and hand signalled him to get closer.

4
Andrea was still avoiding his eyes.
3
Everybody gasped.
2
He knelt on his knees.
1
His head hit the floor.
''IM SORRY!!!''
''Hikaru-chan what are you doing?'' Ryo's jaw dropped.
The Sempais who were eating cake dropped their forks.
Andrea just rolled her eyes.
''IM SORRY ANDREA! I know you dont wanna see me anymore
and I know it's impossible for you to forgive me~ but Im still
gonna do everything for you to forgive me~ and to prove to
you that you're the only one I want~''
He continously bowed and apologized.
She cant stand to see him bowing and apologizing like this but she's still not sure if she can
forgive him.
''Stand up Hikaru~ please..'' She finally meet his depressed face and searched for his hand.
''Im telling you.. Im 100% inlove with you and not with Kiyo~.. Youre the only one.. Please~ GIVE ME ANOTHER
CHANCE~ DONT LEAVE!'' he was tearing up as he bow.
''Hikaru.. just stand up~'' she was trying to reach for his hand and save him for the embarassment his getting.
''So youre the a-hole who broke Andrea's heart?'' Ryo stood up threw his punch and grabbed Hikaru's shirt.
''But I totally regret it Sir~''
Ryo clenched his fist
''Is that true?'' he turned to Andrea who shaked her head.
''Nobody messes with my family!'' He throw a forceful punch and hit Hikaru's nose.
''STOP!'' she screamed but her cousin was too full of rage to hear her cries.
''I'm sorry Andy~'' we're the words that kept on coming out of his mouth as Ryo throw his fists harder.
''Ryo~ please! Dont do this to him!'' she kept on crying.
Hikaru's face we're showered with blood and the stains continued dropping on the carpet.
The other sempais tried to get a hold of Ryo but he was too aggresive.
It kills Andrea so much that she courageously ran over between her ex and her cousin and
slapped Ryo on his left cheek and he had also fell on the floor. ''I SAID STOP!''
''Please get him outta here~'' Andrea asked the sempais to take Ryo outside and they did.
The juniors we're all horrified with what happened.
She turned and cupped his bloody cheeks with her hands.
''What we're you thinking huh?!'' she shaked him gently. She took her hanky and wiped it all over his face.
Hikaru grinned even with so much pain. He felt like his pain we're all taken away when he heard her voice again.
''Youre face is all cut up, and youre happy about that?!'' she raised her eyebrow.
''So you still care about me?'' he asked smiling.
''Of course naa...'' and he locked her up with his arms.
She felt his warmth and he felt hers. Like back when they we're still together.
They both know they missed this and she lost her power to push him away.
She still doesnt know if she would forgive him. But her feelings for him
are still so strong and she just cant stop it. But she's still unsure.
She pushed him for a bit and turned to Inoo, Yabu and Takaki.
''Could you guys please get a towel, a bowl of warm water, alcohol and a box of band-aids''
With their mouths wide open they nod together and do as their told.
''Hikaru~ please stop crying..'' she wiped away his tears rushing from his eyes.
''I miss you Andrea~''
''I predicted youre gonna say that~ but arent you already happy with your life without me?''
''What are you talking about? A part of me died when you walked away from me~''
''but I thought youre already happy with Kiyo?''
''I told you~ I'm not inlove with her... I cut off every connection I had with her.. and I just dont love her no more~''
''Why? She's got everything that I dont have~.she's rich.. she's beautiful.. she's a princess and she's..''
Hikaru pressed his finger on her lips to interrupt her.
'' but she's not YOU..''
Hikaru's big brown eyes we're shining right in front of him and she's starting to feel his sincerity.
He took her hand and hold onto it. ''And youre everything that I need~''
They we're swimming inside each other's eyes again. She forgot what she was about to say.
and she felt so weak. It felt like they we're the only persons in the room.
His face was about to touch hers when..
''Ehem~'' the B.I Shadow boys coughed.
''Get a room~!'' the HIP HOP JUMP kids yelled with their hands covering their eyes.
''Ewww~'' the other kids we're still kids to think of this as romantic. ''You'll get cooties~''
Both Andrea and Hikaru laughed it off.
The 3 BEST members appeared with the things that Andrea asked them to get and
Andrea took Hikaru in Nishikido's room.
It was dark and narrow. The AC was turned on and Hikaru laid on the bed.
Andrea sat on the edge and start cleansing the wounds on his face.
She was about to press the cotton with alcohol on his wounds but Hikaru kept on yelping.
''Dont be such a baby!'' and she accidentally squeezed the whole bottle on his wound.
''ITTAAAAAAAIIIIII!!!!!!''' he cried while spazzing on the bed.
She hurridly took the towel and threw it to his face. ''Sorry~''
She grabbed his arms to stop him from spazzing. ''Come on~ dont mess up Ryo's sheets
he's so gonna be more upset~'' he didnt stop so Andrea held his arms tighter and moved her visage closer
to his. He stopped spazzing. Smiled. Reached for her lips and stole a kiss from her.
''There~ I'm feeling better now~'' he smiled.
She removed her grip and stabbed Hikaru on his shoulder. ''Why do you always do that?''
''Ouch! Well~ youre kisses are my medicine..'' he grinned ''..so keep on hitting me and i'll steal more from you''
''Uhh~ stop it~'' she laughed as Hikaru pokes her cheeks.
''Andrea~..'' he tried to sit up and tapped Andrea on her shoulder. ''..do I still have a chance?''
She looked through the windows of his soul and wanted to say 'yes' so badly.
Its like she just cant help her feeling for him.
But she's still doubting if she can really trust him.
''I dont know Hikaru.. I dont know if I can trust you'' she looked away and stood out of the bed.
''I promise I can be faithful~ I wont ever do this again.. No one's ever comparable to you and I dont wanna lose you''
''No.. dont promise~ I dont wanna hope and believe on your empty promises when you dont really mean them.''
''Andrea~ please.. I'll do everything to prove to you that Im seriously inlove with you~''
''Talk is cheap..Hikaru..''
Hikaru saw her wiping her tears as she walks out of the room. ''You can go now~ I still had a lot of packing to do~''
''Andrea...'' he tries to follow her but the door shut right up his face.
''Do shi yo'' he purposedly hit his head on the door and cry. ''..I dont want you to go..''
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chinnen went to walk at her old apartment once again but failed to see any sight of her again.
It's been months and weeks. And he thought his plan would work out and he would have her
but things just got worse. He walked up the porch and remembered that time when they we're fooling
around in the garden and having fun. He remembered how cute she laughs back then. And how she would
call him everynight and tell him everything. She may not know but her voice is the sweetest lullabye
he ever heard before he fall asleep. When they walk side by side laughing and talking about
senseless things. Then they would play tag and chase each other on the streets. And if she's about to get
hit by car which happens usually..he would always save her and push her off the other side of the road.
While she smiles and push him away and then they would continue to play tag.
Chinnen sat on the porch and rested his head on the walls.
He really does miss her so badly.
Suddenly when he was about to leave.. his phone rang.
''Moshi~ moshi?''
''Hello~ Chinnen I have to tell you something..''
''Oh Daiki?''
''I've talked to Andrea a while ago~''
Chinnen paused and went speechless.
''She's gonna leave tommorow and she's moving to Germany~''
''What?! Why?!'' Chinnen felt his heart breaking.
''She said she's gonna go soulsearching and she said she's doing this for us..and Hikaru..''
''Hikaru..''
''Chi~ this is killing me~ I want to tell her that everything was our fault!''
''I need to find her before she leaves..do you know where she is now?''
''Well..Nishikido-san turned out to be her cousin and he said theyre gonna have a Farewell Party for her''
''Do you know Nishikido's place?''
''I dont really know~''
''Now how am I suppossed to find her?!''
''I dont know~''
''Thanks a lot Daiki~''
and Chinen hunged up.
He took a deep breath and decided to look for her even though it's impossible.
''Oh I know..'' he had an idea. He tried calling Akanishi Jin which he remembered he
has a number of since he worked with him in Yukan Club. He dialled up Jin's number
hastily and hoped for him to answer his phone. ''Pick up.. pick up..please..''
but he only reached voicemail. ''Shoot~''
he was so determined that he decided to walk around the prestigious apartments
and see if he can spot any sign of Andrea.
He passed by a couple of apartments and still saw nothing.
He felt like giving up but he knew he cant.
So he struggled harder even though it started to rain.
And he's drenched with his school uniform..freezing and started coughing.
His blue scarf was also soaked and drenched.
But he cant let this stop him so he continued to find her.
He knew he's already trying to make a fool of himself.
But he doesnt want to let her fall away and never see her again.
He never thought ever in his life will he do this for somebody
but life is unpredictable.
It was dark~ he knew it's already late~
he's already receiving a dozen phonecalls from his mom and dad and
he just ignored it.
The sound of the cars and the streetlights we're the only things around him
right now.
He was too tired but he kept on walking.
The streets we're wet and slippery and he tripped on the ground.
When suddenly he heard a group of guys talking in a porch.
It was his sempais. ARASHI, KAT-TUN, NEWS, KANJANI8 surrounding Nishikido Ryo.
''Nishikido-san'' he moaned as he stand up. All his sempais turned their heads and we're
surprised. '' Areh?!''
''Nishikido-san~ do you..'' Chinnen was panting ''..know..where Andrea is?''
''What do you want from her!?'' Ryo was still in his pyscho mode.
''I..I just want to..'' he was still breathing heavily. ''..talk to her.. please...''
''Why? Did you cheat on her too?!'' Ryo ran closer.
''Stop! Ryo!'' Jin pulled his arm. ''Chill man~''
''Youre a friend of her right?'' Taguchi asked smiling trying to ruin the awkward mood.
''Hai~'' he nod.
''She's inside~''
and the sempais hold Nishikido as Chi walked near and when he was about to
turn the knob. Chi caught her inside Hikaru's arms. Her eyes filled with tears but with
her facial expression he can tell that she's happy. Chi didnt hear what they we're
saying but he cansee it from the window how beautiful Hikaru and Andrea is together.
Isnt this the beautiful scenery that I ruined.
How could I be so selfish?
How can I do this to them?
They we're so happy and inlove~
and if I come inside and make things worst
I would make everybody more miserable.
How can I do this to her~
I cant force her to fall in love with me..
It's so horrible of me..
The only thing I can do now is..

I guess I have to let her go...

Chi withdrew his hand from the knob and turned his back on it.
''You're not gonna go inside?'' Koki questioned.
''Im not~''
''Why? She's leaving tommorow~ if youre gonna say something to her~ tell her now!'' Nakamaru adviced.
''There's nothing else I wanna say to her~ but goodbye~''
''Coward!'' Ryo screamed.
''Moo teokure yo~'' and Chi started to walkaway.
He knew it was best if he leave Hikaru and Andrea fallinlove.
He shouldnt really get involved in it anyway.
He shouldve realized it from the start that he shouldve just remained her bestfriend
and that's all that he can be.. and that's how she only see him.. a friend.
but he still hopes that one day she would share her world with him.
Someday but not now.
or somehow..
probbably.
or not.
He faced the rain with his broken heart.
Let the puring rain.. drenched him out so that he can feel something
even for a bit.
He had already lost everything.
He didnt really cared about whatever could happen to him anymore.
He doesnt care.
Love had totally forgotten him.
Tears kept on falling like the rain.
His chest kept on aching but the image of her happy
melts him in despair.
He was about to cross a street.
He felt so out of himself and his head we're high up on the clouds
refreshing memories of her and Andrea.
when suddenly..
a bright light flashed against his face and..
''Look out!''
and somebody pushed him on the ground.
It was too fast he didnt really what happened.
''Chinnen!'' Chi looked up to this person's face as the streetlights lightens his face.
''Hikaru~'' Chi dropped. ''..you just saved my life?''
Hikaru smiled gliding his fingers on the band-aids plastered to his face.
''Chinnen~ are you alright?''
''Hai~ Hai~ Daijobou desu'' he hugged Hikaru ''..Arigatou''
''What are you doing walking around the streets this late?''
''Anou.. I should ask you.. why are you here either..''
Hikaru dropped his head and ''Andrea is leaving tommorow~ and she wants me to prove to her
that I really do love her and she can trust me~''
Chi shaked his head.. puts on a smile and left Hikaru's chin.
''I have an idea~'' he smiled. ''..I did promised you before that I would help you win her heart~''
'You'd really help me?''
''Uhuh~ we're friends after all and I know I'm doing the right thing~''
''Thank you so much Chi~!''
''Oh~ and Hikaru.. Im sorry~ for inviting Kiyo and telling her that you miss her when you actually
are inlove with Andrea~ I'm so sorry~''
''Past is past~ Let Bygones be Bygones.. All I care about now.. is Andy and our future..''
''Yoish~ then!''
and the 2 of them joined forces and began working on their special plan.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was 6 o'clock in the morning and Nishikido accompanied Andrea to the airport.
''Your passport?'' ''It's here..'' ''Your clothes?'' ''It's here..'' ''The omiyage for auntie?''
''It's here..'' '' Your shoes?'' ''It's here...'' ''Your phone?'' ''It's here..''
''My goodbye kiss?'' Nishikido leaned his face.
Andrea pushed his face away ''A goodbye hug could do~'' and she hugged him.
''Thank you for taking care of me~ cous''
''Anytime~'' he smiled. ''.oh and I'm sorry I beat the hell out of your exboyfriend last night~
I was so drunk that I didnt notice~''
''It's okay~ but you totally scared me,,you know~''
''Im sorry~''
''Just dont get drunk too often~ next time I know youre in NHK headlines and stuff'' she widened her eyes.
''I wont drink too often~ i promise~''
''Dont promise~ just take action on it okay?''
''Yes~ maam''
She was about to enter the airport when..
''Andrea! This is for you!'' The 8 JUMP members met her on the entrance.
''What in the world..'' Andrea and Ryo both dropped her baggages.
There was a platform on the center and Hikaru was standing there with his mic
and Keito with his guitar.
''I'm gonna prove to you that I'll do everything for you!'' he spoke with a straight face.
''This is a song me and Chinnen wrote for you..''
''Chinnen..'' she gazed at him as he pulled her near the platform.
''Andrea~ youre gonna miss your flight!'' Ryo screamed.
but Keito started strumming his guitar and Andrea couldnt move her feet.
and Hikaru began singing.:


Dont Leave This Place - Sponge Cola

"

Don't look at me
And i won't look at you
I won't mind you
I am neither honestly

Don't leave this place
Where we learned to stand on our feet
Don't leave this place
Where our lives were once entwined

Common sense of the morning
As mere remnants of the past
Little nothings left behind
Back then we would talk,and we'd talk
And we'd talk about,how real it could be

I wish i could stay

Repaint my orange sky
Squeeze it out and i'll
Keep it all together
Hold it in forever
Where our lives were once entwined
I wish i could stay
Keep it all together
Hold it in forever
Where our lives were once entwined
Wish i could stay
Were only just passing thru
Were just passing thru
Where our lives were once entwined
Wish i could stay
Dream of something better
Dream of something bigger
The people on the airport began aplauding and Andrea just frozed.
''If I cant stop you from leaving.. then I would like to thank you for everything
you've showed me~ all those laughters and tears we've shared. Every moment
we had~ Every single memory of you~ I would always treasure everything.
Even if you're so far away~ you'd always be here with us~ inside our hearts.
And even though I know youre getting tired of hearing this from me but
you are the only person who made my heart beat 7x faster than usual~
the only one who can make me smile even when I'm feeling down.
You're the only one I ever cared so much about more than me~
The only one who can punch me a million times in the face and I'd still be
happy about it. You're the only one who can make me feel this feeling.
You're the only one I always wanna be with. You're the only one I'd do anything for.
You're the only one I would wait for even if it takes the rest of my life...
Youre the only one~ youre my number one...''
Andrea reached for his hand and climbed on to the platform and embraced him.
''I still feel the same way about you Hikaru~'' she sobbed. ''.. I'd always be thinking of you
and I'll miss you~''
''Please dont forget about me Andrea~''
''That would never happen~ I'll come back for you soon~ I just hope you'd be waiting for me~''
''I'll wait for you~ Andrea~ that's the only thing I know~ and I could do~''
''Thank you so much for everything too~ '' she turned to thank the 9 members. ''Thank you~ Chi~''
''I'll miss all of you~'' she wiped her tears and flashed a smile.
Hikaru, Andrea and Keito al climbed down the platform ''Wont you get in trouble for this~?''
''It's okay~ Inoo's sister works here~'' Hikaru kissed her on the forehead.''Dont worry~ ''
''Come on~ Andrea~ you only have 3 minutes and you'l miss your flight already!'' Ryo butted in.
''Okay~ okay~ '' Hikaru picked her bags and carried it.
Andrea ran back to the entrace and hugged Chinnen. ''I'll miss you Chinnen~ I'll try to call you
when I get there~ I'm sorry I didnt answered any of your cals these past few days~ I've been feeling
so introverted~ that I ignore everybody~ but I'm really sorry~ I'l try to call you.. okay?''
''Un~'' Andrea removed her arms and ran back to Ryo and Hikaru ''Good bye Guys!'
''So this is it~'' Hikaru was gazing at her red and puffy eyes.
while Andrea hurridly stole a kiss from him '' Did you just stole a kiss?''
Andrea giggled and squeezed his hand. ''Good bye Hikaru I'll miss you so much~ I dont want you
to cry and frown everyday that I'm gone okay~ and I want you to do your best in everything you do~
I love you! and I'll always be praying for you~ See you again soon~'' she waved as she was about to depart.

''Sayonara~''

Tears kept on falling as he watch the plane fly... far far far away from him.
He placed his hand on his chest and felt it beating faster~
''She's still here~ Andrea is always here..''

END.

Not the one,not the wave
Not the call you failed to make
Consequently left unsteady

Class pictures
Faded scribbles
Not the bane of my existence
Just the canvass of what was"
