Hi guys, so… I've been very very busy… so that one was on me, so I won't waste your time any longer, here is the new chapter in the 3rd wheel.

Disclaimer: I do not own Love Live.

Chapter start…

The Storm's Eye

'Honoka will steal Kotori from me!' This was one of the thoughts that continued to plague Umi as she ran away from the room after she dropped the words on everyone there.

"Because she was close to you, goodbye!" Hearing her own words caused pain to her as she ran with no aim in sight.

'NO! I… I did not mean that!' She feebly tried to counter back against the words and the thoughts in her head. Sometimes it was an insult, sometimes it was her memories.

'Oh man… not again, I only want to go home with Kotori!'

'You're wrong! I did not think about that!' This mental argument continued on as the bluenette ran to her house, slamming her door closed as she entered her room, falling on the floor with her hands trying to cover her crying face.

"When… when did I turn to this?"

A few years ago…

"Hey Honoka-chan!" Kotori greeted the orange haired girl as she arrived.

"Geez Honoka, you're late again." The bluenette scoffed.

"Sorry, sorry!" Was the reply. This was from a time when the three were still sharing that perfectly close bond. This made Umi wonder, why… what made her snap and hate Honoka.

'I… wish that Kotori would only look at me.' That… the blunette realized, was the trigger that made her shut out one of her best friends. It was this desire that caused her to casually ignore the one who was the reason why she even met the grayhead.

'Where's your sense of gratefulness Umi?' The voice in her head boomed at her. 'Honoka was the reason why you met Kotori, and yet you shoved her off due to your selfish desire! Are you only focused on yourself?!'

"No… no… no!" The girl placed her hand over her ears as if trying to stop the voice from coming. But it was her thoughts… she could not stop it. No matter how much she wants to. However, if she thinks she was the only one suffering, well, she wasn't.

In a room, a girl with gray hair was crying as well. But it wasn't because of sadness… or rather, it was not just that, but it was also due to anger.

'I… tried to hold it in, but, I can't forgive her!' Kotori thought to herself as she clenched her fists.

"Umi… she… she lied, she, she could have told me that she didn't feel the same way about Honoka-chan… she ignored her, the one who was the reason why we became friends in the first place." The grayhead's tears continue to stain her clothes.

"I'm sorry…" Honestly, she herself didn't know who to apologize to, whether she feels like apologizing to Honoka for loving Umi, or the people in Muse as she left abruptly.

"I… played a part in this!" That was two…. The third one wasn't faring any better.

"Umi-chan, Kotori-chan…" Honoka was crying like wild as well. "Why, Umi-chan, why lie to me?!"

The gingerheads sadness was felt by the entire house. She truly didn't know how to feel; she was only feeling herself crying. She then eventually remembered an event during the past few years.

"Hey Umi-chan! Let's go home!" Honoka invited, but was refused.

"Sorry, Honoka… I… I have something I need to do."

'She USED YOU!' her thoughts told her.

'No! Umi-chan would never do that!'

'You're so dense! Everything is already pointing to that direction and you still refuse!' Her thoughts told her.

'But… but… Umi-chan is our best friend! She would never do that!'

'Wake up girlfriend! If what you say is true… why did she hurt us?'

'It's cause…' Honoka couldn't have anything to say in reply, she knew that her thoughts were true. No matter how much she tried to. However unknown to her, outside her room, a girl was listening and, she then pulled out her phone.

"We have a problem."

"What's the problem?'

"This has gone too far. We have to meet."

"Ok, where are we going to meet?"

"Same place, 30 minutes, see you there."

"Of course, see you then."

"Be careful… Arisa."

"You too Yukiho."
