Author's note: (Bangs head against wall) Ugh! I'm losing inspiration – FAST!!! So I'm trying to overcome my writer's block by creating this crappy little fic, starring my fav couple: Ryou/Téa! Does anyone have creative pills so I can get my creative juices flowing? U_U Sorry, stupid question. (Bangs head against wall) I'm getting weirder everyday. Anyway, I know this story won't get much reviews. It's supposed to be something to be random with…so updating will sometimes be slow. -____- Okay, Jade, put down that knife nice and easy. ^_^ On a happier note, I'll be updating "Secret Admirer" soon. Don't know how soon, but soon.

This chapter is dedicated to all who have suffered a broken heart. Be strong.

Prologue: Bringing On The Heartbreak

****************************

The weather was bitterly cold as it was the winter season. Snow fell gently down the pavement, blanketing the streets with white cotton. The soles of Téa's boots scrunched soundlessly as she made her way to her boyfriend Duke Devlin's house, humming happily to herself. In her arms was a square package, Duke's Christmas gift. She had saved up three months worth of her allowance for this moment, and she could hardly wait to give it to Duke.

Lately, she had been very busy with dance practice and couldn't spend as much time as she would have liked with Duke. So today she wanted to give him a pleasant surprise by visiting him unexpectedly. Duke lived only four blocks away, and as she was walking over there, she noticed Duke's car was parked in the driveway. In fact, it was running. Maybe he was about to leave.

Téa walked over quickly to the driveway, hoping to flag him down. She saw a shadow moving inside the car. Is he checking his hair or something? She wondered.

She was standing right next to the driver's-side door when she saw the shadow moved again. Then it broke apart. There were two shadows. And then one of the shadows…giggled.

Omigod… Téa's breath caught in her throat, her eyes rounding. The gift in her hand fell to the ground with a "thump". No…it can't be…Duke wouldn't…

Because if her suspicion was right, then Duke was in there with another girl!

And he was. Téa could now make out the face of Serenity, Joey's younger sister. She had just come from Brooklyn to visit Joey for Christmas, Téa's eyes were brimming with tears, but she wasn't going to break down. Especially not here in front of Duke.

Before she even thought about what she was doing, Téa slammed her open palm against the window. Duke and his little friend both jumped, but she was fuming. They are so lucky I'm not skilled in karate, she thought furiously.

" Téa?" Duke's voice was muted by the closed car window. He just sat there for a second, and Téa was sure he didn't know what to do. His eyes were so wide it almost filled his entire head.

The brunette glared him down as hard as she could, fighting back the tears. She was very very mad. " Duke, get your butt out of the car," she said slowly.

He muttered something to Serenity and the girl screeched in indignation. She swung the door open and stepped outside, her eyes flashing with fury. " What are you, a pathological liar!? You told me you broke up with her!"

" Serenity, I – "

" Get over yourself, Duke," Serenity snapped. " You are so not worth it."

Then she looked Téa straight in the face. It was horrible, but the first thought that crossed Téa's mind was that Serenity wasn't so beautiful. But the next thing she said gained her Téa's respect and made her think she was damn good-looking.

" Give him hell. Then give him some more for me." She turned and walked away.

Duke pushed the door open and climbed out. He actually turned around and look after Serenity as she walked off. If he had yelled after her, Téa would have done some physical harm. But he didn't. He glanced at Téa, his green eyes all-sorrowful on her.

" Téa – "

" I don't want to see your face. Ever again," Téa snapped and started to walk away.

" But Téa – "

She held up one hand. " No buts! I mean it! It's over, Duke!" Téa quickly took off, her tears running down as she ran to the sanctuary of her room.

Her parents were at home. Her mother looked shocked when Téa suddenly raced up the stairs to her bedroom in tears. " What happened?" Mrs. Gardner looked at her husband in distress.

Mr. Gardner sighed. " It's one of those days again, honey."

Mrs. Gardner nodded and frowned.

Téa locked herself in her room and cried like she had never cried before. She grabbed all of the presents Duke had given her during their three-year-relationship. The teddy bears…the flowers…the beautiful dresses… She threw them out and stuffed them into a plastic. She would throw them out into the garbage tomorrow. At last, the only item left to remind her of her deceitful ex-boyfriend was a picture. The picture of his handsome smiling face, holding her hand as they walked down the beach together. Téa held it up, her vision blurry with the tears she shed.

And she made a vow.

" Never again. I'll never fall in love. Never!" She threw the picture against the wall.

It shattered into a thousand pieces.

Just like her heart…
