Later that night, Minako was sitting on the couch watching TV, alone. Darien had gone out to pick up Usagi half an hour before. She was feeling especially lonely tonight, she didn’t know why though. Maybe because all of her friends were doing something with their families and her only family now, Darien, was out with the one he loves. She got up then and turned off the TV. She walked out onto the deck and just stared at the lights of the city.

Soon, the lights got blurry and she began crying. She finally realized why she was crying, it was because she was in love with Darien. How could she be though? How could she fall in love with her best friend’s boyfriend? Not only that, but it was their destiny for them to be together, how could she mess with fate? But it felt all so right, these past few weeks had been the greatest. Minako and Darien had done everything together, that is, except when he was with Usagi. She thought that they had really connected, especially since their lives were so similar now. He had no one, she had no one, why not be together? Minako knew she had to stop thinking like this, she would do nothing to hurt her best friend.

“Maybe,” she said, “I should just leave their lives forever. I’ll go where I can’t hurt anyone. I’ll go to where my REAL family is...” With that, Minako climbed up to the edge of the balcony. The lights of the passing cars below were so pretty, so very pretty. She closed her eyes, breathed in a big breath, and leaned forward.
