The Mistake is Me
Chapter 2

Yumi headed up the stairs of the court house to get the documents of her divorce from her past love. She never had the guts to go and get it to make it official. After last night, seeing him again and the talk from Muriel and Stephen, she finally decided that she was going to face the past. She entered the building and went to the clerk's desk.

"Hello," greeted the clerk to Yumi, "How may I help you?" Yumi took a deep breath and spoke to the clerk.

"I'm here to collect documentation of my divorce." The clerk looked at Yumi like she was crazy at first.

"My, you are quite young to have a divorce."

"I have been told that in the past." The clerk took down Yumi's information and typed it on her computer. It took a few minutes, before the clerk said something.

"That's odd." Yumi looked over to the clerk with a curious look.

"What is the matter?"

"I do see that you did file for the divorce two years ago, am I correct?"

"Correct."

"It's seemed that you aren't official divorce." Yumi looked at her in confusion.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Your husband never signed the divorce papers in this state is required both signatures of the parties to sign to make the divorce official. We did get the papers back a year and a half ago, but he did not sign any of the documents making the marriage still known." Yumi's mouth dropped in surprise that he never sign the paperwork.

"That got to be some mistake."

"No, I have your petition for the divorce right here on file. It never went to court, because your husband never signs to agree or disagree to the divorce."

"So what do I have to do to get this divorce done and over with?"

"You will have to get your husband to sign the documents and return to the court to be filed." Yumi sighed and rubbed her temple in frustration.

"All right, thank you so much for your time in this matter." The clerk handed her the divorce papers for him to sign. Yumi walked out of the court house in frustration and looked up to the sky.

"What did I do to deserve this?"


"Are you bloody serious? That does it; I'm going to finish what I started last night. I'm chopping off his balls!" Muriel exclaimed to Yumi. The girls were on their way to meet up with Stephen for some time before he had to travel again.

"Muriel, I really don't want to see you in prison over this. I am just going to get him to sign the papers and go off my way. I have to keep focus on my schooling and I only have two months left," Yumi told her friend, by the looks of her is ready to kill someone.

"He should have just signed the papers. Really he is not doing you any favors. He had already caused you pain and discomfort for the past two years. Is he trying to cause you more for the rest of your life, not on my watch he will. Just let me get a knife and it will be done."

"Do I have to enroll you in anger management; because it seems like that you need it."

"I'm perfectly fine, Yumi, just talking about that idiot makes my blood boil. Can we stop about him and get on with our day in good cheer." The girls pulled up to Muriel's brother place of work for the night and got out of the car. Yumi was dressed in a white tank top, black skirt, and her famous black hairs to make her feel tall. Muriel was wearing purple halter top, black jeans, and her black pumps.

"Tell me why are we here? I thought we were going to go somewhere else like to the coffee house? I was looking forward to get me a cup of green tea."

"I tried to convince him, but his boss told everyone has to be there. He did get permission for us to visit him at least. It isn't like I see him every day. I will be lucky to see him once every four months or something along the line." Yumi nodded in agreement and went with Muriel to the door to meet up with her brother.

"I would just catch his hair on fire with my lighter," mention Muriel out of the blue.

"Muriel, you are doing it again."


"My two favorite girls are here. Hope you didn't have any trouble getting in," said Stephen, greeting the girls in the hallway.

"No, we got by with ease. Yumi just had to bash her eyelashes and give them her cute smile, they were putty in our hands within seconds," Muriel told her brother. Yumi just stood there with a smile on her face.

"What, it was just my normal smile," defended Yumi, "I didn't do anything special." Stephen just laughed at the girls and wrapped his arms around their shoulders.

"Ladies, I'm so happy that you came. I know that Yumi has never seen a live show before." The siblings looked at Yumi, who just shrugged.

"Bills and schooling isn't going to pay themselves."

"Yumi, you have a full ride scholarship, you don't pay for school," mentioned Muriel.

"I'm saving for medical school." They shook their head at her, as they began to walk down the hallway.

"You two are going to have a grand time. I even got you two my shirts. You will be sporting them for everyone and also supporting your favorite Irish," spoke Stephen.

"Then it should be me, Stephen," joked Muriel. Yumi laughed at the siblings, while they entered the cafeteria.

"Yo, Stephen," called out one of his friends. Stephen looked up to see two of them walking towards him. "I didn't you were such a lady killer." Yumi and Muriel looked at each other and rolled their eyes.

"Sorry fellas, my brother can't get a lass even to save himself," joked Muriel, elbowing him in the side.

"Muriel," he warned her, as Yumi just giggled.

"Lasses, these are my chums, Paul and Kofi. Fellas, this is my baby sister, who needs to keep her mouth in check, Muriel," Muriel waved at the boys with a smile.

"She looks like you a lot," said Kofi.

"What can I say, I'm the good looking in the family," she teased. Stephen messed with her hair and turned his attention to the little Japanese girl.

"And this little angel is my dear friend, who I look to as a little sister, better than my own at times, is Yumi," continued Stephen, who got elbow hard by his sister.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Paul and Kofi. Stephen has talk with us about his friends and it is so nice to finally meet you in person," greeted Yumi with a smile on her face. Paul and Kofi looked at Yumi and smiled at her.

"The pleasure is all ours, Yumi," answered Paul, shaking Yumi's hand. Kofi shook her hand as well and thought of something.

"Why does your name sound familiar? It is like I heard of you somewhere before." Yumi and Muriel gave him a confused look, while Stephen cleared his throat.

"I did mention her a few times in our talk. She is the one that keeps my sister in check."

"Yeah I do remember some of the crazy stories that you have told us about them." Muriel looked at her brother with a mean look on her face.

"Exactly what stories did you tell them?" Stephen turned away from her, as Muriel kept eying him, trying to get information out of him.

"I swear if you told them about the time I almost got in that bar fight in details," threatened Muriel to him. Yumi just smiled at the siblings and turned her head to look around the cafeteria. She saw a few people in the place, eating or chatting. She was about to turn her focus back to her friends, when her eyes caught something from the corner of her eyes. She saw him, standing up from his table and heading towards them. Yumi kept her eyes on him, showing fear. She moved one of her hands to the hem of Stephen's shirt and yank. He turned to Yumi to see her looking like a deer caught in headlights. He turned to see what she was staring at and saw.

"Damn…" he whispered, catching his sister's attention. She turned where he was looking, as felt her face on fire.

"Excellent, now I get my chance to finish the job." Muriel was going to walk up to him to give him a piece of her mind. Yumi saw this and hurried to step in front of Muriel.

"You will not cause a scene here," Yumi told her friend, using all her might to stop her friend.

"Come on, he deserve everything that is coming to him. Let me just finish it off once and for all." Yumi leaned over to her and whispered in her ear.

"I have to get him to sign the papers first. If I don't, then it will never been official." Muriel looked at her friend and sighed.

"He is one lucky son of a bitch." Yumi's husband stopped in front of them and gave them a smirk.

"You never came to any of my shows in the past," he spoke up. Yumi slowly turned to him and spoke.

"You never invited me to come. I was so kindly got an invitation to come and see Stephen perform and I accepted it," answered Yumi, crossing her arms over her chest. "I don't see it is any of your business."

"You were always welcome to come. What did I have to do, write an invitation and hand deliver to you?" Everyone watched the couple argue with each other. Muriel wanted to step in and punch him in the nose, but Stephen was holding his sister back.

"That would be nice or even just saying it would have been more simple."

"Yumi, I'm not really here to argue with you. I just want to have a talk that doesn't require any violence and you know who I mean." He nudged his head towards Muriel.

"And I really don't want to have a talk with you. Didn't I make myself clear last night?"

"Can't you take a hint that she is done with you?" yelled Muriel, trying to control her temper. "She doesn't owe you anything after what you done!" He turned to Muriel, giving her a scolding look.

"This doesn't involve you at all, Muriel. This is between Yumi and me, so I do suggest you to keep your nose out of our business." Yumi gasped a bit at his words and looked at him with a disgusted look.

"You have no right to speak to my friend in that matter!" she scolded her husband. "She has been my rock and shoulder to cry on since you walked out that door two years ago. It does not give you the right to scold my friend just trying to protect my well be." He turned back to Yumi, giving her a calm look.

"I did what I believe is right, Yumi."

"You should have considered my feelings, before you decide. I can't believe I'm having this conservation with you." Kofi stepped in between the couple, before things could get worst.

"I hate to play a therapist here, though I should have got my degree since I am good at keeping peace. I don't know what is going on but you guys are starting to attract attention." Yumi and he looked around to see people were staring at them.

"I'm done with this conversation." With that, Yumi turned on her heels and marched to the exit. She was almost there until she heard a name that she hasn't been called for two years.

"Yumi Brooks do not walk away from when I am talking to you!" That make her stop instantly and she slowly turned to face him.

"Well excuse me for not thinking about your feelings, Philip Brooks! You were allowed to walk away two years ago, so I should have the right to do the same thing!" Yumi turned back around and exited the cafeteria, trying her hardest to keep her emotion in check. She promised herself that she would never cry over him ever again and so far she nearly has failed every time he was mention and for the past two days.


Yumi made it to an empty hallway and sat down on a crate. She sighed in disbelief and covered her hands with her face. She didn't think that her life would be shared out in the open like this. She was a private girl that didn't like to share her secrets to the world, except to her closest friends, which were Stephen and Muriel. She removed her hands away from her face and leaned back against the wall. She would leave the building and go home, but she didn't want to disappoint Stephen, as he did invite her over.

"Now that is where I heard your name before," said Kofi, walking over to her. Yumi looked over to him, wondering why he was here. "Don't worry; Phil didn't follow me. He is too busy with Muriel, who is lashing out on him. Stephen is trying to control the peace, but honestly this is one of the best shows that I haven't seen in a while. I wish Stephen would let her go and let her have a chance against him. I just came to see if you are all right, since it did look like a heated battle you were in." He joined Yumi on the crate, while she put her hands in her lap.

"I'm sorry that you have to witness our argument, Kofi. I am not usually like that," Yumi apologized to him for her behavior.

"Love does some crazy things," he replied to her, as she gave him a half-hearty laugh.

"That isn't love that is making me talk like that. More like anger and disappointment that has been trap inside me. It just finally had enough of hiding and came out." Yumi looked up at him, giving him a weak smile. "So you have heard of me, I supposed from Philip."

"Yeah, he loves to talk about you all the time. It's seems like that I have known you for a long time with him just talking about you."

"I suppose it is not anything good." Kofi gave her a smile.

"Actually it is all good things about you. I have not heard him spoke badly about you and I should know since I do room with him when we travel." Yumi has a puzzled look on her face, hearing what Kofi was telling her.

"I don't understand; why would he tell you good things when we aren't together anymore?"

"Well, he never mentions that he was married. I thought that he was talking about his girlfriend and how he misses her so much. Phil is one of the few guys that don't date much. I mean, before we even found out about you, we tried to get him on blind dates. He would just ruined them and tell us that if we ever do it again, we will be buried alive." Yumi chuckled at that statement for a second and then sighed.

"I do wish at times I knew what was going on inside that head of his, but I just don't understand a few things. He was the one that left me two years ago and yet he still speaks of me to his friends. He never had any contact with me at all, yet now he wants to talk about the past. I really do not understand that man," Yumi explained to Kofi.

"You are not the only one that doesn't understand him. I might be his best friend, but I still don't get him," Kofi agreed with Yumi. Yumi closed her eyes for a minute, just thinking about what Kofi just told her.

"What does he say about me? I'm just curious for his reason to speak of me to others even though we are not together."

"He is always talking about how beautiful you are, from the moment he wakes up to when he goes to sleep. He is always stopping in front of anything that reminds him of you. Like yesterday, before he went to meet up with Stephen for dinner, we were exploring the park and he stopped in front of a bed of tulips and stood there for ten minutes," started Kofi.

"Tulips are my favorite flowers and for the record, I'm not beautiful, cute, but beautiful is not in my league."

"I have to disagree; you are beautiful and cute, just how he describes you as you are right now. From your brown hair all the way to your heels and he wasn't kidding that you wears heels all the time."

"I'm sorry that I have stopped growing, when I was fourteen. I just make it up with height in heels. It's really difficult to have people look down at you all the down and me to look up. It does give my neck some pain."

"He explains all your movement, comparing you to a ballerina." Yumi had to laugh at that statement. "He did complain that he try to get you to stop using proper language, which I don't understand what he means."

"I use words that he isn't familiar with or speak like I'm from another country. Yet he knows that I'm from Japan and we have to learn English the way they taught us. He would try to correct me on saying slang words to make things quicker for me to explain. It hasn't work at all, as I still speak to him in the matter that I'm doing. It is just how I learn and he quite does not seem to grasp that knowledge. He always wants to have everything to be his way."

"I think it is cool. Phil is too American to understand why people speak the way they do now of days. We do have some people that we work with that speak like you, just with strong accent, which makes it hard for us to understand at times. Your English actually sounds perfect."

"Thank you," Yumi told him. All of a sudden, Stephen was pulling Muriel down the hallway. Yumi and Kofi watched them, while Muriel was throwing out Irish words.

"I wonder what she is saying." asked Kofi, while Yumi shook her head and got off the crate.

"You really don't want to know," answered Yumi. "I do thank you for chatting with me, but I getting check on Muriel and see what damage she cause and by the looks of it, she did a lot." Yumi gave him a little wave and run down the hallway after the siblings. Phil came running down the hall, holding his head.

"Where is Yumi?" he asked Kofi, who was still sitting on the crate.

"She ran off after Stephen and Muriel. From the looks of it, Muriel finally got a whack at you," replied Kofi. Phil moved his hand from his head to show him a gash mark on his forehead.

"She threw her heel at me!" yelled Phil. Kofi tried not to laugh at his friend, while Phil sat down next to him.

"Surprise that she has good aim at you with Stephen holding her back."

"He wasn't!" complained Phil, checking his hand to see if he was still bleeding. "You couldn't hold Yumi still for another minute so I can talk to her." Kofi just shrugged at him.

"I'm just curious, how in the world you left that girl for two years who is that beautiful and so kind? You were right about everything you spoke about her." Phil sighed to himself and looked over to Kofi.

"I really didn't want her to be stuck with me. I mean, she beautiful, smart, good sense of fashion…"

"And to think she would help you get better clothes?" joked Kofi, who received an evil look from Phil.

"She has a future plan out for her. She wants to be a nurse and she is going to University of Illinois on a full-ride scholarship! I'm just a wrestler with no college education. Why would she want to be with me or in fact stay with me?"

"Maybe that oh I don't know, she loves you! I could see in her eyes that she stills cares for you. I know that you care for her Phil, as you don't stop talking about her. I just met her once and I felt like I have been friends with her for a long time."

"Kofi, I never told anyone this. I think that Stephan and Muriel knows, well that is actually not a guess but a bold statement."

"Phil, get to the point, I have to go out in about ten minutes," Kofi tried to rushed him.

"Dude, Yumi isn't just an ex-girlfriend, she is actually my wife." Kofi's eyes widen at his confession. "I'm serious, we have been married for two years, but was really only together for a few weeks, before I left. I never had the guts to sign the divorce papers, because I still care for her too much."

"Married, you are married to her?!" pointed out Kofi in disbelief, "Now I can see why she doesn't want anything to do with you. You left your wife alone for two years!"

"It was a mistake, because I afraid scared to screw up her life," admitted Phil, putting his hands over his face. He rubbed his face and moved his hands away. "She has everything going for her and I didn't want to ruin that. I thought walking away from her would be the best, but it was just torture for me to be away from her." Kofi sighed at his friend and patted him on the shoulder.

"And Yumi does not know anything about this is am I right?"

"I have been trying to get the courage to tell her for two years. When I saw her last night, I finally told myself it's time to tell her. She didn't want anything to do with me, which I should have seen this coming. I just wish that she could keep Muriel on a leash. She is more violent than anyone that I know."

"Well what are you doing to do?" Kofi asked him.

"I'm going to fix my mistake and get my marriage back on track."

"Good luck man."

"Just like a little doll, we are going to have so much fun," he spoke with her with that same smile on his face. Yumi tried to scream, but she couldn't get the words out of her mouth to even make a little yelp. He kept one hand on her arm and had the other hand touching her hair and cheek. "So pretty..." Yumi closed her eyes for a second, parying that someone would come and save her from this nightmare.
