Reiji"s P.O.V

I opened my eyes to see bright flashing lights in the sky out showing their midnight background.

The sounds of the trees filled my ears as their leaves rustled in the wind. I didn't know what I should have thought about first. The fact that I was outside or the fact that I didn't know where Lucy was. 

Flashback

Two Days Ago

I opened my eyes to see Lucy sleeping next to me. My lips curved upwards in happiness as I saw her peaceful expression. It had been a while since I last saw that.

I allowed myself to look away and at the clock to see that it had been six in the evening, which had been strange. I could have sworn when Lucy confessed to me it had been after school. 

Was it a different day? I stood up and grabbed a shirt before looking at my calendar to see that this day was not marked out, meaning that what I saw before didn't happen. If anything it must have been a dream. 

"Shit" 

"Reiji" I turned around to see Lucy looking at me with curiosity. 

"If you are going to lecture me about my language then I do not want to hear it." She grabbed her shirt and put it on before she stood up and walked over to me. She stared into my eyes with an empty look. 

"You are changing you know." I arched a brow.

"What are you talking about?"

"You're becoming subjected to your own demons which I will not allow to happen." She walked past me. "I do not know who you are anymore, nor if you are the man who made me consider staying but I want him back."

"Want me back?"

" I want Rini to see her father for the great man he is. Not for who he once was." 

Her words stuck to me. They always did. Whatever she said I did and whatever she did I watched. Everything about her was important to me. I still didn't know if she loved me or not but the fact that we had to at least get along for our daughter made me realize that loving her had no use. She may have cared about me but she was doing it for Rini.

 Something that was better to accept than to deny. I just had to allow it. No matter how bad it hurt to think about. I had to allow it.
