It's not fair! He's supposed to love me, not her. I'm his "cute fiancée," that's what he's always told me, so why is it then that he's marrying Akane and not me.
You know, in a way, I'm not really surprised that it happened. In my mind I knew that it was only a matter of time before the two of them admitted their feelings for each other, I just wasn't planning on it happening so soon. Who am I kidding? I was hoping that it wouldn't happen at all. I was hoping that I could convince Ranma that I was the right one for him, that he should love me, not her. But no matter how much I may have wanted that, I know now that it will never happen. You can tell just by looking at them, how happy they are together. I don't think I could bring myself to destroy Ran-chan's happiness.
I really can't feel sorry for myself. In a way it's my own fault, reading more into what Ranma did for me than there really was. Now that I look back at it, he never treated me as anything more than a friend. I just hope I don't loose that friendship that we had. Hell, I bet me and Akane could have been good friends if we hadn't had Ranma between us. Well, I guess we still could try.
Now there's Ryoga. I think he took the news of Ranma and Akane's wedding harder than I did. Last night I found him outside the restaurant passed out after he had thrown one of his Shi-Shi Houkandan's into the air. I don't know why, but it hurt to see him that depressed.
When Ryoga started telling me what had happened last night between him and Akane (especially when he told me that he was P-chan), that's when everything started falling into place. For the first time, I saw that I never had a chance with Ranma. Not then, and definitely not now.
One thing that does make me feel a little better now, is the fact that I know that I'm not alone in how I'm feeling. I used to think that I was the only one feeling cheated and alone, but now I know better. Ryoga's been through a lot of the same stuff I have, only with Akane. It's nice to know that I'm not alone anymore.
This morning after he'd told me about what had went on last night and I started crying, he put his arms around me. You wouldn't believe how warm and safe I felt there in his arms. Up until then I never realized how often Ryoga had been there for me when I really needed someone. Well, when I finally looked up at his face I started to notice more about his like his gorgeous green eyes and those cute fangs of his. I don't remember really who started the kiss, it doesn't really matter, but the way it felt, it was definitely something we both needed. You know, even now, I can still feel his lips on mine. I don't think I ever want to loose that feeling.
Well anyway, at least he'll be staying here with me for a while. I just hope he doesn't get lost too soon, especially now that we've just found each other.
