"Crap! Crap! Crap!" I yelled to myself as I looked outside. It just started pouring rain and I had forgotten my umbrella.

I just finished my shift at the coffee shop I had been working at for the past year. I got the job after my best friend, Jason, moved away with some girl from his school named Mizore.

I wouldn't say I was lonely, but I didn't have anybody back in Seattle anymore.

I ran through the rain as fast as I could to catch the bus. My gray hoodie covered my head as I heard the rain fall onto the almost deserted street around me.

I ran around the corner when suddenly, I run straight into this girl.

"Uh.. Are you okay?" I stand up and ask. I look at the person I just ran into with a small blush on my face.

She had bright blue hair and stared directly at me.

"I'm fine." Her depressed voice gave me a bit of a shock, but I shook it off. I reached my hand out and she used it to help her stand up.

Neither of us said anything before she started to walk away.

"Wait a minute!" I started to take off my hoodie. I held it out to her as she looked confused.

"You'll probably catch a cold... So here, take it." I smiled as she slowly reached up to grab the hoodie. She put it on but left it unzipped and smiled.

"It's warm." Her depressed voice didn't quite match the smile on her stunningly beautiful face. Rain slowly slid down her face as her blue hair sat soaked on her head.

"Don't mention it and don't worry about returning it." I looked up into the falling rain, feeling satisfied with helping someone. She started to walk away but I couldn't think of another reason to stop her but... her depressed voice made me worry.

I ended up deciding to follow her through town. Not once did she look back and see me as she stopped at a small park area. The rain kept pouring hard as I watched in almost complete horror.

The young girl pulled out a razor and held it over her wrist. A strange feeling swept over me as I ran over to her.

I grabbed the razor and held it away as she tried to get it back.

"Stop! Give that back! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" She started to yell and cry slightly.

"What the hell am I doing? What the hell were you doing?" I pushed her back onto the bench she was sitting on. A chill went up my spine as she looked down.

"It's my life, why do you care?" She sobbed lightly as I sat down next to her.

"Everyone has a purpose. Maybe it's love, work, or even to just be there. You just haven't found yours yet." I rubbed my hand on the top of her head as she looked at me through the rain. A light blush had appeared on her face as the tears stopped flowing.

"So.. what made you feel like you have no purpose?" I asked, slightly curious. She didn't seem like she would fight me anymore on the topic, so I wanted to get to know her a little.

"I fell in love with this guy, but he never came close to feeling the same way... so I forgot about him. Then another guy came and, I don't know why, but I fell in love with him too." The blue-haired girl sighed and looked down. "He didn't feel the same way either."

I even felt depressed at her story. It was always one thing to deal with losing someone you love, but never having them at all?

Without much thought, I wrapped my arms around the girl as she stayed quiet.

"Let it out." I told her, she had hugged me back and gripped onto my soaking wet shirt. She wasn't hugging me, but was enjoying the embrace of another person that was there for her.

She cried hard and long too. By the end of it, the rain had stopped and a tired feeling swept over me. She sat silently next to me as me as she looked out over the park.

"Thanks..." She said quietly as she looked down. A confused expression spread over my face.

"For what?" I actually didn't uderstand what she meant until she explained.

"Y-You saved my life. I was going to end it all right here because I thought that I didn't have a purpose. So because of you..." She looked over at me and smiled.

"I'll try again." I was able to feel the distinct happiness in her voice as she spoke.

"My name is Kurumu. It's nice to meet you." She held out a hand as I shook it gently.

"My name is Jeremy Fault." I smiled at her, but her expression changed to confusion.

"W-Wait... did you say 'Jeremy Fault'?" She stared at me with a stunned look.

"Y-Yeah..? Why?" I felt a little uncomfortable.

"I knew Jason Winfield." Kurumu said this and my jaw dropped. I never thought I'd meet somebody from that secret school of his.

"R-Really? Did he cause you any trouble?" I worried, because Jason was always the dumbass since childhood.

"You just saw how much trouble he caused..." She looked down and my eyes widened.

"You mean..?" I couldn't believe it.

"I fell in love with Jason..." Kurumu didn't say anything else as we both sat there, looking down and I regretted asking.

I shifted around on the bench until I was comfortable. "S-Sorry." I stuttered.

"It's okay. I think that I'll give up on him anyway." Kurumu looked up into the sky.

I just sat and watched her without saying anything. We ended up sitting ther efor a while before I decided to ask her.

"Do you have a phone?" I asked. I watched as she pulled out a small blue phone and handed it to me.

After a few moments, I handed it back.

"I put my number on it so if you ever wanna talk... I'm there." She smiled as she sent a text to confirm the number.

"Thank you. I should get going now." Kurumu stood up and smiled down at me. "I'll talk to you soon."

"See you." I said as she walked off. I watched as she looked back over her shoulder and smiled.

My heart skipped a beat for a moment as I realized that she was different than normal people.

Maybe I just found my purpose.
