***Takeru's POV***
I sat in choir class, miserable as always. My angel and I had split up just a week ago after our 1-year anniversary. My heart ached to be with her like old times, but she didn't want me. So I followed her request, and left. I sighed as our teacher passed out music called "It was almost like a song".
Great, a tragic love song.
He asked if any of us guys wanted the solo. Matt and the others didn't want it, so that left me. Great, I get to sing the heart wrenching part of the song. As I hear myself sing "January through...December. It was such a perfect year. Suddenly the flame, became a dying ember...and all at once, you weren't there...", my throat got caught. How ironic that I'd have to sing something that I was going through. Mr. Limey, our teacher, tells me that my emotions are great in the song, that I'm really into it. He doesn't know how into it I am. I sneak a glance at my angel and she's just staring at me as I sit down next to Matt. I surpress the arising tears and dash out of the room as the bell rings, signaling the end of school.
Normally, I would go to basketball practice, but the season had ended. I was the star and captain of the team with the greatest girlfriend in the world. Change that...EX-girlfriend. Matt must have sensed that I was going to cave and break down again, because he pulled me into another hug. He was right...I just broke down in my familiar sobs into his shirt on the street sidewalk. He brought me to the park and led me to a bench where we sat down. I sat there sobbing into his shirt for a good half-hour, asking him in a small voice what happened to us and how we were so happy. I sounded like a little 4 yr. old again, asking my big brother what mommy and daddy were yelling about. I didn't care though, and Matt didn't mind acting like a big brother again and holding me like a kid. I think he was a little happy that I still needed him for these things, he didn't have to give up being a big brother yet. I had always thought Matt would be ashamed that I still cried, but he wasn't. He told me that it's OK to cry, that it's good to let out your sadness and not keep it bottled up like he does. So I silently cried there while Matt patted my back, telling me everything will work out.
If only I could believe him.
I always believe my brother, but this is one time I can't. It was about 4 in the afternoon so he suggested we spend the day out, to get my mind off of things, once my tears had stopped. I reluctantly agreed and we headed home to change out of our uniforms.
The only thing good that happened in my life was my parents' remarriage. I loved the feeling of coming home to both my parents and living in the same house with my brother again. I loved the feeling of being able to come home to my whole family again. After changing out of our clothes and into fresh ones, we went out with some of the gang. Izzy, Ken, and Tai to be precise.
Izzy is a good guy, once you get to know him. Also, once he gets off his computer, he's a real interesting guy. No wonder he has the crest of knowledge. He always wants to know everything, just like a curious little kid. He's a genius though, how much more stuff does he need to know? I think he only has 2 things he can't figure out. One, women. I don't think guys will ever understand women. Ken and Izzy, if they don't understand something, chances are pretty high that humanity will never understand it either. Two, Mimi. No one will ever understand the princess. We had all thought she would go out with Matt or Joe, but she had picked Izzy. I had asked her about that once, and she told me that its the mysterious side of Izzy she got attracted to. I still don't understand what she meant.
Ken is a cool kid. He used to be cold towards everyone, but those times have changed. Now he's kind to everyone. I guess that's why his crest is kindness. Ken's our other genius, though he socializes more then Izzy. He's also a good friend of mine.
Tai, my loves brother. I had expected Tai to act weird around me after me and Kari split. I had asked him why he doesn't and his answer shocked me slightly. He had taken me to the park to talk, then told me it was for 2 reasons. First, it's because he's Matt's best friend and I'm Matt's brother. Second, he had always thought of me as a brother. He told me he thought of me like a brother because he had always had to watch over me and protect me while Matt was away or something, so he could never act weird around a brother. I could have sworn he mumbled something about legally being brothers' one day.
Spending the day with them DID help me cheer up a bit. I had to after they tossed me into the freezing lake at the park then threatened to do it again if I didn't lighten up. I'll just say that they had a long run back to their houses with this drenched blonde yelling at them with blazing blue eyes. When Matt and I returned home, we sat down with our parents to have dinner. I told them about the concert and my solo in choir. They both said they'd be there tomorrow night to listen. They told us our cousin was flying in for a visit with our aunt and uncle tomorrow afternoon so we'd have to go get them. I was happy at that. My cousin was the coolest, despite being a girl. She helps me a lot with my singing since she's the star soprano in her school back in America. She's a lot like Sora when she was 11 too. She's into a lot of sports and acts like a tomboy sometimes. She even teaches me a few new moves in basketball. She's 2 yrs older then me, but is my height. I guess height runs in the family.
The day passed by very fast, to fast for my liking. We picked up my aunt, uncle and Rosemarie and shared greetings. Rosemarie had asked about Kari, but quickly shut up after I blinked back my tears. Now I was on the risers in the auditorium, waiting for the music to start. I started on my solo on cue. My voice was loud and clear to the auditorium, but inside I was dying again. The concert went on and when we were getting off the risers, the room seemed to close in and I started to hyperventilate. The whole destined gang had seen me run out of the auditorium at top speed. Matt, Izzy, Ken, Mimi, Cody and Joe had followed me out and to the park as I fell to my knees, head in hands. My parents had ran up a few minutes after, worried. I was out right hysterical. Joe and my family took me to the hospital where doctors did a bunch of tests on me. After the results were back, the doctors said I was in a deep depression. The depression caused me to start hallucinating and go nuts. They prescribed some pills for me to take. I felt like chucking them in the trash as we walked home. I knew who could help me, get me out of this depression, but she didn't want me back. I walked sadly into the house and to my room where I just fell onto my bed, crying into my pillow til I fell asleep.
Kari's POV
I stared at TK as he finished singing his solo part. I choked back my own tears as I watched his eyes. They held so much misery in them, like my own. I left the classroom miserable, thinking. I didn't even know why I was so sad, I was the one that ended it. Why? Because I was scared. He was my best friend since pre-school and now he says he loves me. Sure, when we were little we said we loved each other, but we didn't know better. I was scared when he said he loved me for the first time on our anniversary. Scared of the commitment those 3 words held. So I ended it, not knowing how much pain I caused both of us. I cringed a little.
The pain I CAUSED.
I met my 3 good friends outside of the school where we headed off for a girl's day to cheer me up. Sora had known how much pain I was in so she gathered Yolei and Mimi into the plan. Sora always was a life saver. She had been through the same thing I'm going through. Tai had been her best friend since they were babies and they had went out when Sora turned 12. He too had said I love you on their 1st anniversary, and she got scared. Sora had avoided him a little, trying to decide if she wanted the commitment that came if she said those 3 little words to Tai.
Now they're as happy as can be.
Sora had always protected our little group of friends. Like my brother said, it's her Love shining through. It's no shock to anyone that she has the crest of love. I always looked at her as my own sister. She always gives me advice about how to handle a guy. People would think Mimi knows more then Sora about guys, but truth be told, Mimi doesn't know much at all. I always go to Sora for advice. I have ever since I could talk. She had been the first person I saw when I was a baby, besides my mom, dad, and brother. She's practically my other mother at times.
Mimi is my role model in some ways. She is my idol in fashion and singing, all those things. She's real great to be around and isn't afraid to speak her mind, something I have trouble doing. She always tells me to cry when I'm upset, but I don't. Despite the pain I'm in now, I haven't cried once since the break up. Mimi's crest of sincerity is perfect for her. She can speak her mind, even if others will be hurt.
Yolei is the perfect combo of Mimi and Sora. She's only a year older but is funny. She's like Mimi and expresses her opinions. Her mouth usually gets us in trouble. She also is very caring for others when she's not acting up.
We all talked for awhile as we walked through the park. They all told me they'd come to the choir concert tomorrow and that made me feel a little better. As we rounded a corner, I saw TK crying on Matt's shirt. I heard his barely audible whispers of what happened to us. I immediately knew it was because of me that he was crying now. I ran far away, the other girls following, all going un-noticed by the 2 brothers.
After the girls failed attempts to cheer me up, I went home and to my room where I stayed for the rest of the night. The time for my concert had come too soon, way too soon for my liking. I stood on the risers and sang as the chorus parts came up. I heard TK choke back a barely noticeable sob. I nearly died right there. As we were exiting, I saw TK shake his head and run out, talking to himself. I heard him mumble my name before he went out of site. I ran out and towards my house, Tai, my parents, and some of my friends following. I slammed the door to my room shut as I got into the house, flinging myself onto my bed. For the first time in that painful week, I let all my tears fall out in pain filled cries and sobs, soaking my pillow. I stayed like that til I had cried myself to sleep.
