I hit my head on the floor. The pain was unbearable but I didn't make a sound. My head had already begun bleeding. I was already use to this. It had

happened for the past 10 years. Another hit with a glass, beer bottle hit me with indefinable force. I was starting to black out but not before I was

punched in the stomach. I was gone to a completely back world.

Flashback…

"Mommy, can I go outside?" the little girl asked

"Sure honey but be careful and don't get hurt." replied the mother.

"I will Mommy. I love you." Said the girl

"Love you too." The mother smiled

The small girl with bubblegum pink hair walked out of her fairly big house. She saw her neighborhood friends were already playing. She walked up to

them and was soon having so much fun. Then another person came out to play. It was Saaya. "Oh, look who has come out to play, the little pink haired

freak of the neighborhood", taunted Saaya. Saaya was a bully.

Despite being the richest of the neighborhood she love picking on others. She especially loved picking on Amu. She had light brown hair and green eyes.

"Wait, do pink haired losers even play?" mocked Saaya.

Amu felt tears in her eyes. Why her? Why did her of all people have peculiar pink hair? She could have had blond hair or brown hair but no she had to have pink hair.

"What are you going to do Amu? Go tell your mommy?" teased Saaya.

She laughed her high pitched laugh as she watched Amu run away in tears. "What a loser" she snickered

Amu ran into her house and asked her mother "why do I have pink hair?"

"Well honey, you have pink hair because you are special and your grandmother had pink hair too. Remember only awesome people have pink hair" her mother replied.

"But I don't want to be special Mommy. I want to be like everyone else."

"If you are like everyone else then you won't be my special little cupcake anymore" reasoned her mother

Amu smiled. "I always want to be your special little cupcake Mommy, Always" Her mother smiled at the little four year old girl.

End of Flashback

Amu P.O.V

I woke up from my blackout to find out that Father had passed out from having too much beer. I got up to walk to my room any to find out I had broken my foot. I was forced to crawl quietly to my room. I picked out all the glass from my wound to my face and washed it to keep it from getting infected. Now it is time to fix my broken foot. I hand broken my foot so many time I know how to make a cast. The last thing I need to do is wash my once pink hair back to its original color and not the dark red it is at the moment. With that I got myself to fall asleep in to a deep sleep.

Mysterious P.O.V

She has been gone now, for the past 14 years. Despite the fact that I only knew here for the first year of her life I love her. I miss her. I never knew what it was like to love your soul mate. I always thought it was a lie, that it would never feel good to love another like that. Now I understand because I know who mine is and, I won't stop till I find her again. She is to be the queen. She is to be 16 in about one year. I will find her, this 'Amu'.

Amu POV

When you wake up in the morning, are you supposed to feel great, refreshed, and ready to tackle the day? Well, when I wake up I feel pained, depressed, and suicidal. I better get dressed. I grabbed the clothes that were on top and put the on. Then I grabbed a baggy sweaty sweat jacket and sweat pant. Apparently I will be sweating a lot today.

I found the crutches that I keep since Father breaks my leg bones so often and I am already pretty clumsy. I was ready for school. I walked in to the living room. Father must have woken up and took himself to his room. I made him breakfast and said goodbye to that hell of a house. Only four more years and I will be 18 and be able to leave.

I hobbled the two miles to school. I entered at the wrong time because Saaya had got of her limousine and was about to open the door when she saw me. She was with her gang as usual. Her group involved only three people named Yumi, Akiko, and Miho. Her boyfriend Tadase was no where in sight. He was the bad boy of the school. Only lucky popular pretty girls go to go out with him. That lucky girl at the moment was Saaya.

She had changed little since childhood. She was still a bully and was still rich. The only thing that had changed is the way she dresses. She used to dress innocently but now she dressed in skimpy little outfits. It is not a mystery that Tadase would go out with her. He could probably sleep with her every night without her really caring. She wouldn't mind as long as he doesn't break up with her which is so sad.

Anyway, when Saaya saw me she said, "Oh look what the cat dragged in, deformed ugly Amu." Look I might wear ugly nerd glasses that are huge and ugly, but they are the only thing Father would buy for me. I tried to hop away buy she got in my way. A teacher saw what was happening but didn't do anything. She couldn't.

Saaya's 'daddy' was the principal. He fired teachers who tried to get his daughter in trouble. So, Saaya never got in trouble.

"Where are you going?" questioned Saaya.

"Yeah, where are you going?" repeated Yumi, Akiko, and Miho.

"I'm going to class," I replied.

I can stand up for myself, but I find it so pointless to fight with them. I would only get in trouble. Since they didn't let me pass, I made a way for myself. The teacher that had been watching made sure I wasn't late to class. I made it to class on time.
