When Things Don't Go Right

By Emilee Olson

"Momo, can I talk to you for a moment. We need to discuss things that've happened lately." said Toji, grabbing Momo's arm while she was walking to her next class.

"First of all, let go of my arm. Second of all, we have nothing to talk about, now do we? If I remember, you broke up with me, you crushed my heart, and then you kissed Sae! How could you do that to me Toji?" said Momo bursting into tears, and remembering the hard break up and that eerie night.

"Momo, why can't you just forgive me for that. Since Sae got what she wanted from me, all I've been to her was a fly on the wall." said Toji looking into Momo's eyes as he said those words.

"What did she get from you?" asked Momo, crying, "Anyway, I don't want to know...I'm sorry, but I must leave, Kiley's waiting for me." After Momo said this, she got her arm free of Toji, and left to go see Kiley. She took a back glance at Toji, and left.

Momo, walking briskly so she wouldn't be late to see Kiley, saw Toji walking towards her, almost following her, but he kept his distance. She stopped and walked up to Toji, reading a magazine at a news stand. "Why are you following me? I told you to leave me alone, I have to meet Kiley soon." said Momo, frustrated and apalled by Toji's determinedness.

"I told you I needed to talk to you! You weren't listening, I needed to say something." Toji put down the magazine.

"Quick, I'm running out of time here." Momo said tapping her foot in annoyance.

"Okay, this..." Toji bent down and embraced Momo. Toji kissed Momo, and she didn't resist. They kept on with their passionate embrace for almost 10 minutes.

"Toji, you shouldn't have..." Momo said softly and then started kissing Toji. "Toji, why didn't this happen so long ago when we we're dating, why?"

"Sae was blackmailing me remember, and I'm finally free of her. I brought you the real negatives, I had to do things I didn't want to . But I found the real ones, she was dumb enough to put them in a folder labeled 'Black Mail- Secret- Do Not Read'." Toji explained, and handed Momo the negatives. After Sae forced him to have with her, completing her wants from him. After that trechorous night, he never felt the same with her. He would remember all the good times he had with Momo, standing by her while she was picked on by Sae, and protecting her from Sae and her black mail.

"Momo, Momo, where are you?" said Kiley walking about the streets. Suddenly, he sees Momo kissing Toji! "Momo! What are you doing?!?"

Momo stops kissing Toji, and looks up, "Kiley! What are you doing here? Ummm... this isn't what you think! Toji was the one kissing me!"

"What?" Toji said confused.

"I thought we were boyfriend and girlfriend, that means you can't go and kiss other people's boyfriends. Duh! What were you thinking even kissing this loser?" said Kiley yelling and pointing at Toji like he was a cockroach.

"Kiley, you should be yelling at me, not Momo." said Toji, stepping infront of Momo.

"You aren't my girlfriend, are you? Actually, you're my girlfriend stealer!" said Kiley, and suddenly threw a punch at Toji.

As usual, Kiley missed, and Toji punched him in the nose.

"KILEY! Look what you've done, he's unconsious!" said Momo angry "Go away Toji, you're just making trouble, not just for me, but for everyone!" Momo, looks away, and screams for someone to hail an Ambulence. "It's okay Kiley, hold on." said Momo kissing his forehead.

5 hours later...

"Hey there, how are you feeling? The nurses said you got a concussion, but you'll pull through." said Momo, pulling up a chair next to Kiley's bed. "I brought you flowers, I thought you'd like them."

"Thanks," Kiley says and kisses Momo's hand, "I've been awake for a couple minutes. I was wondering where you were. Oh, yeah, thanks for helping me, I really wouldn't have made it without you."

"Oh, Kiley, you shouldn't say stuff like that," said Momo while she looked at her watch,"Look at the time! I've got to go, see you tomorrow Kiley!"

"Okay, I love you!" Kiley said with his hands cupped over his mouth yelling while Momo ran out of his room.

"Yeah Kiley, see you later!" Momo said. Momo thought why didn't I say "I love you" back? I love Kiley, but something inside me is making me resist to say those three words, why? Momo walked out of the sliding entrance doors to the hospital and there sat Toji, slouched over a bench.

"What are you doing here? I told you to stay away from me. Didn't you get that picture into your head." said Momo sitting crosslegged next to Toji.

"I can't take no for an answer sometimes. Also, I came to say I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kissed you, I know it was wrong, but I was longing to see you. I would watch you go home with Kiley arm in arm, and just thought that maybe that could be you and I. When I'm with Sae I feel fake and un-real, I feel like I'm a toy, and I'm only for show. But with you it's different. I am free to be whomever and whatever I want to be. You see, what I'm trying to tell you is that...well...with out you I'm lost, and when I'm with you I feel like nothing I've never felt before, you complete me Momo,"says Toji grabing Momo's hands and whispering into her ear,"I love you Momo." Toji suddenly gets up and runs away.

"Toji, wait!" screamed Momo runnning after him.
