The Break-Up Box- For a broken heart From Mimi
Track One.
Happy Birthday
Yamato's POV
I wake up to the sound of my bandmates yelling outside, I was trying to get some sleep before the meeting at 4. I turn to look at the clock
"11:31"I say to one and stare at the white, boring ceiling.
Wonderful. The word drips of sarcasm. Once again I wake up alone to no one, and that was getting really old fast, I was starting to feel lonely even with my bandmates outside and all the girls that follow me, that come in and out of my apartment it means nothing now. Tk is right, being rich and famous is nothing if you don't have no one to share it with. I finally let myself think of my last girlfriend, well at least that's how I see it, she was the last women I ever loved. I think of the word loved? should I use past tense when it comes to her? was it appropriate? I don't think it is. I probably still love her, no I still do love her even though she hates me and of course with reason.
I couldn't help but sigh at my stupid mistake that risked me everything. I hear again all three band mates become arouse by the person on the tv, I could hear them clearly even from my room.
"So loud" I groan. I have two conclusion 1) porn 2) a hot girl nothing else would cause the guys to make such noises at this hour, I'm leaning more on option number 2 it seem more plausible since I think it might be to early for porn. I drag my body out of bed and across the room to where my band mates are sitting, idling around watching tv.
All my bandmates snap their heads to look at me with a perplex look on their face. "what?" I questioned them with a brow cocking up at them.
Haruto jumps to grab the control "shit" Haruto said out loud as he tries to change the channel quickly .
Takumi takes a sip of his coffee and didn't bother to look at me. Being his usual calm-self. Souta looks at me with wide eyes "you're up early" he tries to lessen the tension.
"what the hell is wrong with you guys?" I question them, I turn to look at Souta plopping on the couch and crosses his leg. "if you guys didn't act like wild animals maybe I would have slept longer" I look at the other two with a perplex look "whats wrong with these two?" I ask Souta.
The only calm one here, he seems like the only normal one. "nothing, the show got boring thats all" Haruto quickly answers.
I narrows my eyes on my bandmates and then Haruto. I wasn't buying it, not one bit, I might be blonde but I'm no idiot. if it wasn't for Haruto acting so strange I probably wouldn't have notice anything. "put the channel back on I want to see what you guys were going all crazy over" I look at Haruto.
if they were hiding something he wouldn't be able to lie, he was the only one of all of them that couldn't lie to save his life plus he was always way to easy to read. "um no t-that wasn't the show we were watching" he looks over to Takumi for help.
"yea, how about you tell us about that model from yesterday what happen?" I glare at the three, I know something was up they were all acting weird and way to nervous for just some "boring show" I cross my legs and lean in to grab the control. "nothing, I got her number we hd sex and she went home that's all" I answer nonchalantly.
Haruto jumps at the sight of me leaning in to grab the control, but to his despair I got the control before him. "um I don't think you want to do that" Takumi informs me.
"and why not? you guys were obviously having a blast from it" I press the "last" button. my eye grow and all four men sit there quiet; awkward silence; three of them in fear of my reaction and I wasn't even sure what to feel when my eyes laid on the tv screen.
There she was sitting on a pink chair in all her glory being interviewed. Her lovely golden locks of silk fall curling at her ends like always and adorn her goddess face. I'm was speechless 1) because she is beautiful; had I forgotten how beautiful she was? i mean is? my memory didn't do her justice not one bit 2) she was on the tv again.
She giggled which for me her laugher has always been music to my ears and still is. this is what his bandmates tried to hide from him, countless times they would hide her from him, it always fucked with my mind when I saw, heard, read anything that involved her, it fucks with me, it messes me up, because no matter what it was when she appeared it always ended with me regretting my stupid mistake and a bottle of some kind of liquor.
My bandmates closely looks at me but they didn't bother to utter any words until I was ready to talk. "and here you have it folks my new music video
"Happy Birthday" she winks to the camera.
I could swear I saw an anime heart. The music begins and her pop music flows in. "Aw! seriously Mimi?" Takumi said.
I didn't bother to look at him I just kept my eyes glued on her. the video opens with her in a room decorated for a birthday party and she starts to sing. I heard she had an album out called"The Break-Up Box" but nothing else, I kept far away from anything that circulates with Mimi.
This video was obviously targeted for me, for the reasons being 1) it was my birthday week 2) I am her ex-boyfriend and 3) the blonde guy in the video is obviously is me. Well at least her song was catchy.
I slump onto the couch. "dude Mimi is so badass" I don't bother to glare at him in normal occasion but he was right Mimi always had the courage and honest to do whatever she pleased. She was brave, honest and loving, she was everything I wasn't.
He looks at me "who cares" Takumi says he pats my back. I bet I could call her and ask her about this video and she would bravely answer me without ever looking away or in this case her voice wouldn't be shaky.
"yeah! it's not like Mimi is…" he stop to think of something insulting.
"Crap I got nothing" he said looking a bit disappointing. But you can't really say anything bad about her, I couldn't, I find nothing, I have no dirt on Mimi and I dated the girl.
I was about to walk out when I see Mimi in the video pop a heart-shape balloon. I wince slightly it wasn't noticeable at all to the band.
"its ok, whatever it doesn't bother me" that was a lie. I got up "I don't care, I'm over her and all her drama, I'm gonna go shower and get ready for the meeting today." Her video ends with her saying "Happy birthday to you" and blowing out the candles and if I was to pause the video and count the candles I bet I would find 26 of them on that cake.
I leave my bandmates in the living room speechless I did not want to have this conversation with them, I hardly like talking about it with my little brother; who I trust with everything. Mimi was a topic no one could make me speak of. No one. "Mimi" I uttered as I turned on the water and adjusted the water temperature.
I let the water calm me down, I'm annoyed by Mimi, but no matter how annoying it got she still is vivid in my head, her voice everything I couldn't get her out of my head. I'm over her; I keep repeating to myself; maybe not completely i mean she was my first true love, as lame as it sounds she was my first love probably my last.
I let her flow into my mind her smile her honey-sweet voice, or when she got mad how her cheek would puff. When they use to live together I would always come home to her not an empty apartment like now or wake up to no one in morning I had her, but I lost her and so much more. For something that in the end wasn't even worth anything.
"Dammit" I swore how much I regret ever cheating on Mimi and with Sora out of all people. I sigh. Why did it have to be me? of all people Sora had to develop a crush. I couldn't even remember why I did it? was it curiosity? probably I had only been with Mimi my whole life, since I was sixteen and since she was fifteen.
five years ago I lost her and all I had to show for it were my loving memories I had of her that haunted me but nevertheless I enjoyed when they visited me. Its thanks to her sunshine personality that I met and befriended my bandmates, why I even started the band, she gave me the courage to do it. She taught me how to be more social, how to express my feelings better, to talk with honesty and be brave. I laugh when I taught that she even gave me style, with her obsession with fashion. Him being her most important "client" being her boyfriend and an up-coming celebrity. I couldn't help the small aching feeling tugging at my weak, pathetic heart. I should have tried harder when she left, I should have never tried to be with Sora after Mimi left. I ruined it all. I did it to myself. I'm blame. I let the drops of water wash away all my thoughts of Mimi, I know it isn't healthy to think about her. It never was.
How I miss my sweet little Mimi.
