Promise part two!
Emichii: Hi everyone! Emichii here and I'm back with Promise part 2! YEAH! Hmm… some news first, yeah, remember the sequel to I'm Still Hopeful and the prequel to Promise Part 1? It was called Someone Just for Kari. Well, I really enjoyed writing in Kari's point of view that I'm gonna write like that again! Yeah! Okay then… I'll start this right now!
Chapter One! That Stupid song!
Three years ago, Tai went to Tokyo to study but before he left he promised Sora that he'd come back. And well… yeah… I have to say it's taken a long time.
Tai's my brother and I trust him but it's been 3 years! For cryin out loud! And the sad news is that Sora's… um… moved on.
It was Mimi's birthday party the other day. Mimi told us all that it was a dance party, supposedly the greatest dance party in the whole world. I wouldn't really believe her, you know she exaggerates.
It was a dance party but dancing has never been my thing but she was my friend, I couldn't turn down the invitation, so instead of dragging me there by the hair, she gave me an offer.
"Hey Kari, do you know how to organize the music?" she asked.
"Huh?" I asked almost stupidly.
"You know, like play all the music?" Mimi persisted.
"Ohhh… I think so… Matt can teach me!" I brightened up.
"Yeah, Matt." Mimi's tone darkened.
Just a few months ago, Mimi and Matt were the hottest couple in Odaiba but then they cooled off.
"He is coming to the party right?"
Mimi nodded.
"Okay."
That was how it started.
"Kari, will you dance with me?" T.K asked.
I gave him a look. "What do you think the answer is, huh? No!"
"Awww, Kari…" he pretended to be hurt. "Don't you like me?"
"No that's not it, it's just-" I protested.
"Hi Kari!" Sora stepped up to me. She inspected me and T.K. "How come you aren't dancing with T.K?"
My face burned. "Because… I have to take care of the music!" I said.
Sora laughed. "Hey I can do that!"
"No! No that's okay!" I said, "I can do it!"
T.K went off, sulking.
"What are you gonna play next?" Sora asked.
I dug through the pile of CDs. "I don't know if this is dance music but I reckon it's a nice song."
"What is it?" Sora took the CD off me and stared at it.
"What's wrong?" I wondered.
She was troubled. "I… don't like that song,"
"But-"
"Please don't play it!" she said, her voice shaking now.
"Why not?"
The music had stopped and everyone was starting to make a big deal about the silence. Mimi pushed herself through the night up to me, "What's going on, Kari?"
"Nothing!" I said, "Sora just doesn't want me to play this song, that's all!"
Mimi took a look at the CD and turned to Sora, "What's wrong with it?"
Sora took a step back. "It's just…"
I watched her as she turned away from us and started to run away from the party.
"It's because it reminds me of Tai!" she cried.
You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them up
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything
When someone said count your blessings now
For they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew
Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew
Who knew
Sora ran away from the party, but she didn't know she was crying until she tasted the salty tears on her tongue. She brushed them away and tried to calm herself down.
She didn't know what was with her. I mean, it was just a song! How did it just stir up all these feelings and memories she'd hidden? She walked back to her home and collapsed on her chair.
It was so horrible. She had just run away from her best friend's birthday party and she felt awful. But it had something to do with her too. Staring up at the ceiling, she pondered all that she had been through… everything that had happened because of him…
Absently, she opened a random drawer and saw a photo that lay in it. The tears started up again, and she slammed the drawer shut, making the desk shake.
She leant forward, elbows on the desk, burying her head in her hands, the tears dripping and rolling down her cheeks. She was shaking uncontrollably, and could not be consoled because he hadn't kept his promise.
"Tai," she sobbed, "Why… why didn't you come?"
Emichii: That song was Who Knew by Pink. And right now I'm listening to I wish I was a Punk Rocker. Hmm, the first scene of Promise part 2 is a new one to me. I pay a lot of attention to all the music but I'm like Kari, I don't really give a damn about dancing. Anyway, Awww that chappie was just too sweet! Read and review!
