A/N: This story is an AU so don't go crazy with all the mixed stuff in here, it doesn't follow the books straightly, but in some sort of way it does. The girls will be around 17 years and the background story will be a little different from the books; hey, it's an AU after all. As you all must already know, W.I.T.C.H does not belong to me. Oh. And this is a femslash. Don't feel comfortable with it, don't read it. Hope you enjoy this.

The day had dawned sunny in Heatherfield. It was a morning like any other, but the day was definitely not like all the others, thought Will.

Standing at the big gate of the Sheffield Institute, Will seriously thought if she should or not pass the gate that morning. She had made a very important decision that morning and knew that she would suffer with it. She was thinking about it a lot lately and finally she had made up her mind. She knew that the news would shake everyone, but even knowing that she wasn't going to change her mind. She thought and rethought many times about it, revived the good times and the bad ones in her mind, but still, the decision didn't come out of her head.

Two years passed... two years of many events and a lot of emotions. She had grown a lot, both physically and emotionally. In two years many things can change. And Will knew that.

It had all started that day... when she saw in a window shop as she passed on her bicycle, the reflection of her transformed image. Since that day she realized that she wasn't like the other girls of her age and, as crazy as it sounded, that she had magical powers.

A lot happened after that and Will realized that she wasn't a completely normal girl for her age, she had important responsibilities and duties to fulfill. She wasn't only Wilhelmina Vandom the daughter of Susan and Thomas Vandom anymore, whose father left without giving any news; now she was a Witch, a guardian of the Veil that separated the earth from Meridian and one of the guardians of the heart of Kandrakar.

Her life used to be basically divided between: being a Witch, fighting evil and villains who now and then wanted to destroy the Earth; being the closed Will, sensible and with a passion for frogs; the Will who was always dedicated to her friends; the Will who was messy, clumsy and was always late to school; the Will who took bad grades in school, leaving her always grounded at home; and, finally, the Will who was unconditionally and completely in love with Matt.

She did not know what else she loved on him, he had so many qualities! He was sweet, kind, caring, beautiful, had a music band and liked animals... the sweetest guy in the planet! Besides being in love with her. From the viewpoint of her friends, they were the cutest couple of the five ones. And she also thought that. Thought... in the past... Two years ago. Now she wasn't so sure about that.

Will, despite being a little closed up girl, had always been a great leader; she couldn't be as intelligent as Cornelia or Taranee who loved to study, but she always tried to give her best in the tests, though she knew it wasn't really her best; at home she tried very hard to adapt to her stepfather and the idea of having a little brother, but when it came to questions concerning the heart, Will was completely naive. And even more naive when it came to Matt. Dear, sweet and lovely Matt. It was what she thought.

But with time, she saw that Matt also has his faults like everyone else and that he was a little like most of the boys on his age, after all, he was a boy! And for Will boys were all the same: fake, liars, disloyal... with the exception of sweet Matt, of course.

But time passed and Will had changed and some things about her also changed.

There was the battle against Phobos in Meridian where the five friends and Elyon, the true heiress of the throne of Meridian, joined forces and managed to defeat the evil Prince Phobos. Now things were quiet in Meridian and on earth too. There was also the release of Yua, the banshee who had been imprisoned by Ari in Arkhanta and made his servant. After the release of the banshee, the five did Maqui, the mute son of Ari, speak, giving up one of their precious gifts, and although things appear to be quiet, they were constantly on alert. With Phobos it was always better to be safe than sorry.

It was with this thought that the redhead with brown eyes took a deep breath and decided once and for all to pass through the huge gate that contained an affixed sign that read Sheffield Institute. As always, she got there late to biology class and blamed her indecision for the delay. She spent her entirely biology class and the remaining classes very distracted until the biggest break. And when her friends asked if there was something wrong with her, Will only answered that everything was okay with a smile not very enthusiastic. Until Hay Lin, the most absent-minded of the five friends, realized that something was wrong with the guardian of the heart. And all became even more evident when the four friends saw a Will not very happy dragging Matt, who was with the same face of I don't understand you as always, to the farthest corner possible of the school.

"What's wrong, Will? Why are you with that face?" Matt asked confused. He had tried to kiss Will, but she dodged the contact leaving him confused.

'When the girls dodge away from a kiss is because something is wrong, right?' Matt thought. And, by chance, he got it right on the fly.

Will stared at him for a few seconds and then looked away from him. It hurt so much to have to do that!

"I... You know, Matt... I think that... this... this is n-no longer resulting... between us. Our relationship. Do you understand what I mean?"

The boy with brown-hair down to his shoulders looked surprised and a little scared. Will had her arms crossed around her body and big teary eyes.

"What? What do you mean this is no longer resulting between us?"

"I mean that... I can't take it anymore, Matt." She said in a small voice, struggling not to let the tears fall. "I want to break up."

After hearing her words Matt got lost and confused. What? Why? Everything was so great between them. 'And I like her so much.' He thought. 'And I know she likes me too, so... why?' Just when things were so good between them! He couldn't believe her.

"But Will... Why now? What happened? I... I did something wrong? I don't understand... tell me if I did something wrong, I can... I can fix it. You can't do this to us. Please, Will..."

"I need some time, Matt. And you did nothing wrong, I just need time to think about... about us." She averted once more his gaze, laying her eyes in her four friends that were on the other side of the courtyard, although they were looking at them curiously. She knew all of them were curious, especially Irma, but for now she would have to let them be confused. She was going to tell them everything later and cry on their shoulders, but for now... now she really needed to finish it.

"I don't understand, Will. You want time to think about us? You can't think about us without having to break up with me?" Matt said ironically without actually wanting to. He was very nervous and afraid of losing Will. His beloved Will. "I like you so much, and I know you also like me too."

"That's truth Matt, I like you very much. But that's exactly the problem." She sighed. "Matt, I don't know if I like you like I did before, you know? I have been thinking a lot recently and I've come to realize that I don't feel the same about you anymore. Time goes by and some things change..."

"Yeah, well... some things do change, but others don't. You, for example, you keep being that same immature and egocentric girl I met two years ago, because you can't see what's right under your own nose. You could've said if you are with someone else, I'm a big guy now, you don't need to come with those lame excuses! You can take your time now." The boy said hurt, and turning his back to Will, he moved away from her with quick steps without looking back.

After hearing the words of the young man for whom she had once been in love, Will couldn't hold back the tears anymore and they came with all their strength, burning the redhead's cheeks. Will ran towards her classroom and picked up her backpack with happy little frogs in it, grabbed her things and went through the school gates without caring about the protests of her friends, especially Irma. When she got home, she locked herself in her bedroom and cried the rest of the day.

It was just the end and the beginning of a new cycle.
