When It Was Me
By shimahiko4ever
A song-fic based on the song When It Was Me by Paula DeAnda
Disclaimer: I do not own Gakuen Alice and the song.
Summary:
I should have known.. Life isn't always perfect. Someday, you will definitely lose someone. Even if you love that person badly.
Mikan's POV
"It has been a year or so since that happened.." I said to myself.
*Flashback* (on Normal POV)
"Mikan, I'm breaking up with you" Natsume, a raven haired boy with crimson eyes said.
"What? Why?" a brunette, whom we all know as Mikan, said.
"It's just not working" Natsume replied, then added "I'm sorry."
The brunette couldn't speak anymore, after 3 years of their relationship, why?
What happened to all the memories they shared.
Their everything.. are gone..
'You can lose something/someone important in just a snap'
*End of Flashback* (also end of Normal POV)
I chuckled as that memory retraced through my mind.
"Why do I have to think about that?" I asked myself.
Just like what Hotaru said.. I mean, I really am an idiot. She IS a genius after all.
But why didn't I believe her? Maybe because.. that day..
'I'm still blind to reality'
*Flashback*(still on Mikan's POV)
"What if Hyuuga breaks up with you?" My bestfriend, Hotaru said.
Me and Hotaru were goofing around the Sakura Tree. Wait. Let me correct that. I mean Hotaru never slacks off. She is probably inventing something. I looked at her.
She is inventing something.
"What are you inventing, Hotaru?" I asked her.
"Stop changing the subject" She said.
"O-okay."
"What if Hyuuga breaks up with you?" Hotaru repeated. "What if he leaves you Mikan?"
"That would never happen Hotaru." I said. "Trust Me."
*End of Flashback*
'Trust me'
"Agggghhhh! I have to stop thinking about flashbacks!" Mikan said, more like shouted.
I turned on the radio and a song started playing..
"When It Was Me"
by Paula DeAnda
Ooh, no
Yeah, yeah
She's got green eyes and she's 5'5"
Long brown hair all down her back
Cadillac truck
So the hell what
What's so special about that
This song reminds me so much of Natsume's girlfriend.
Or what others call "Mikan's replacement"
Her name, Yumi Itsuki
She used to model, she's done some acting
So she weighs a buck 'o 5
And I guess that she's alright if perfection is what you like
She used to be famous. That's right. She was a previous model.
I don't know why she quit, though.
Anyways, she still keeps her "aura" which probably became the reason why Natsume was attracted to her.
Ooh, ooh, and I'm not jealous, no I'm not
Ooh, ooh, I just want everything she's got
Ooh, ooh, you look at her so amazed
I remember way back when you used to look at me that way
Well, I have to admit, I still have feelings for Natsume.
But, hey, I'm just from his past. Not present.
Tell me what makes her so much better than me (so much better than me)
What makes her just everything I can never be
What makes her your every dream and fantasy
Because I can remember when it was me
But I can't help but question him in my mind..
'Natsume, Do you still remember me?'
And now you don't feel the same
I remember you would shiver everytime I said your name
You said nothing felt as good as when you gaze into my eyes
Now you don't care I'm alive
How did we let the fire die
'Hey, Natsume, is this really farewell? Will I move on like you did?'
Ooh, ooh, and I'm not jealous, no I'm not
Ooh, ooh, I just want everything she's got
Ooh, ooh, you look at her so amazed
I remember way back when you used to look at me that way
What makes her so much better than me (so much better than me)
What makes her just everything I can never be
What makes her your every dream and fantasy
Because I can remember when it was me
I got a pen and wrote a note. After that, I got something from my drawer.
That made you smile (me)
That made you laugh (me)
Me that made you happier than you have ever been, oh me
That was your world (me)
Your perfect girl
Nothing about me has changed
That's why I'm here wondering
Natsume's POV
I was going for a morning walk when I noticed a small box and with a note..
I read the note.."Thank You for Everything"
Then I opened the box and saw a piece of a keychain, the design is a half of a broken heart with words engraved on it.
"MIKAN" (A/N: I was actually debating whether to put Mikatsume or Natsukan but then I just got Mikan instead..)
I used the keychain for my car keys. Ha.
What makes her so much better than me (what makes her so much better than me)
What makes her just everything I can never be
What makes her your every dream and fantasy
Because I can remember when it was me
Then I hear footsteps.. and saw Yumi. (A/N: Nastume and Yumi are neighbors. :D)
"Natsume! I saw this note sticked on my door, do you know who is it from?"
She gave me the note that says "Thank you for being there for him"
What makes her so much better than me
(what makes her so much better than me)
What makes her just everything I can never be
What makes her your every dream and fantasy
Because I can remember when it was me
"Mikan.." I said to myself. But Yumi heard it.
"Did you say something, Natsume?"
"Hn. Nothing." I replied."Wanna go for a morning walk?"
She nodded. "Let's go."
When it was me
When it was me
When it was me
Mikan's POV:
I'm probably sure that Natsume just threw that. (The keychain)
He is like that after all.
''Flight 101 going to Europe will now depart''
Yeah, I'm on a plane right now, I'm going to Europe to clear up my mind, probably to find someone else? Yup, probably.
I smiled as I look at my own keychain, same as Natsume's but I got 'Natsume'
engraved on it instead. But.
...My smile immediately faded when I felt the plane go up.
I'm gonna miss this place.
I'm gonna miss you too.. Natsume.
.The End.
So, how was it guys? .Great?
Please review! :D Thank You!
