*Author's note- I DO NOT OWN BLEACH OR THE SONGS!sorry this story is awful...*
As Momo and Dr. Ishiin Kurosaki walked in wheeling a passed out Toshiro along with them, Ichigo, Dr, Kurosaki's son and Momo and Toshiro's close friend appeared. "Whoa, what happened here?" he asked, noting Momo's tears and the stench of alcohol. As Momo told him the night's tragic story, the confused look on his face turned to a furious one. He pulled Momo into a deep embrace and soothingly whispered, "I'm so sorry, Momo…" before she was taken away to have pregnancy prevented, and Toshiro was admitted to get his stomach pumped.
When she was given the all clear, Momo ran off to her apartment to take care of some business. Upon entering her apartment, she immediately began boxing up a few of her belongings, leaving behind the pictures of her and Toshiro and all of her old clothing, but taking things such as her instruments, notebook, and laptop. After loading it all in her car, she went to the apartment building's caretaker.
"Please, tell Toshiro when "he comes and asks that I'm paying for the apartment until he comes, and he can do whatever he wants with it and everything in it" she said pleadingly.
"of couse Hinamori-san. Thank you and good luck!"
She smiled and then exited the building and getting in her Audi coop, heading to the next town over, Karakura Town, home of Karakura Prep where she would be attending high school when school resumed in the fall along with half of her friends. Before she went to her new home, however, she had a stop to make. Her friend Rangiku Matsumoto's house to tell her and their friends Isane, Rukia, Nanoa and Nemu what happened.
"and... And that's what happened" momo concluded her tragic story, staring at her friends' horrified faces. Suddenly, they all began hugging her and sobbing comforting words.
"what are you going to do momo-chan?" rangiku wailed, suffocating momo with her assets.
"im going to karakura prep, and moving into a high-security apartment building. I gave the gaurds his picture and they know not to let him in. I know it's really not completely his fault, but I'm afraid of seeing him again and remembering..."
The girls all nodded in understanding, and then rukia exclaimed, "youre going to the same school as me? Yes ! Now we'll win the picnic!"
Every year, the group of friends had a competition between their schools based off intelligence and athletics. As momo was one of the smartest students at seireitei high along with toshiro and captain of the girl's chearleading squad, tennis, soccer, basketball, softball, and volleyball teams, whichever school she attended was pretty much garaunteed to win.
"it would seem that way. You now have a 98.875‰ chance" nemu calculated.
The friends continued in light chatter, avoiding the subject that brought them there. Momo knew she would have to get over it and move on, and these others weren't going to remind her of her hurt. Eventually, though, she had to leave. "here." she said, handing them each a piece of paper, "this has my new cell and home phone numbers, email, and address. Keep in touch, okay?" she then hugged each in turn, and left to start over.
She stepped into the tall, reflective glass building that was her new apartment complex, carrying her new wardrobe and the items she brought from her old life. She pulled out her elevator access key and entered the elevator quickly then pressed the button with thirteen on it. "i hope this apartment is as nice as it sounds..." she thought, picturing her new apartment. She had again chosen a three bedroom apartment that supposedly had a lrage family room. "its a shame it'll have to go to waste... But all the memories of me and shiro-chan..." she tought as a couple tears fell from her eyes. "no... That's the past, and I'll keep the good memories locked away, forget the bad ones and move on..."
The elevator then halted, and she inserted a second key into the keyhole next to the previously pushed button, allowing her to exit the elevator and face a dark, mahoganny door with the number 13 inscribed on it. She took a third key out and unlocked the door, stepping in and then softly shutting the door behind her. She walked through the large apartment, placing belongings in their respective rooms as she did so, not putting anything in the family room.
She made one of three bedrooms hers, made the other a guest room, and put the memories she couldn't bear to leave behind in the final room. She had decided to leave the room empty and unfurnished, save for the boxes of photos, videos and other memorabilia. After placing said boxes down, she exited the room and using a fourth key, locked it behind her. Momo then took all of her keys and put them on a necklace so she could have them at all times before throwing herself down on her bed.
"i need to tell renji, Shuhei, gin, Chad and Uryuu... Ichigo might as well be there even though he already knows. Him knowing might help ..." Momo thought. She then pulled out her new cell phone and texted the aforementioned guys, all of which were her best friends whom she loved dearly.
Twenty minutes later, they all met at the park underneath a large peach tree.
"what's up, lil peach?" renji asked, sitting down with Ichigo to his right and Uryuu to his left, gin across from Ichigo, Shuhei across from himself, and Chad across from Uryuu, his guitar strapped to his back. Momo sat at the head of their group, facing them all.
"yeah, lil peach. Is something wrong?" Shuhei asked worriedly.
They all sat silently as Momo told her story. Ichigo's face was simply grim as he had already heard what happened. Everyone else looked sick, even gin was lacking his usual grin. Momo ended her story and laid across her friends, not knowing that to some it would seem wrong due to her innocence. Her head ended up in gin and Ichigo's laps, with her feet on Uryuu and Chad's.
Choked noises came out of Shuhei and Renji's mouths, and gins eyes shut even more tightly. "he did what to ya' now lil Momo-chan?" he asked in his typical slang.
"he raped me. I know that it's his fault for drinking and not being able to control himself, but it's not completely his fault and I don't hate him, I'm just... I'm just so scared of seeing him and remembering and seeing guys except for all of you!" she sobbed, tears streaming down her face.
Ichigo began stroking her hair and gin wiped the tears from her cheeks as renji and Shuhei began stroking her sides. "listen, Momo. I'm pretty sure I speak for everyone when I say this. We all hate Hitsuguya now and would love to kill him, but because you wouldn't be happy, we'll stay away from him as long as he stays away from you" Renji declared.
"thank you, all of you" was Momo's simple reply. The group lapsed into a comfortable silence, and then Momo began to sing.
"No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore.
It's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score.
And why do we like to hurt so much?
I can't decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why, all the possibilities where I was wrong
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here.
'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here.
I still try holding onto silly things, I never learn.
Oh why, all the possibilities I'm sure you've heard."
Chad joined in on his guitar.
"That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
Pain make your way to me, to me.
And I'll always be just so inviting.
If I ever start to think straight,
This heart will start a riot in me,
Let's start, start, hey!
Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?
That's what you get when you let your heart win!
Whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
Now I can't trust myself with anything but this,
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa."
"wow that was great lil peach! And your guitar playing is almost as good as mine, Chad!" Ichigo exclaimed.
"you were great guys! And my drumming is way better than your guitar playing Ichigo!" Renji yelled.
"even my keyboard skills surpass Kurosaki's guitar skills," Uryuu commented, pushing his glasses further up his nose.
"i can play the bass," Shuhei and gin both said, then looked at each other.
"anyhow lil Momo-chan, who wrote that song ya' sang jus' now?" he asked jokingly, being the only one knowing Momo's secret, having found out accidentally.
Momo shot him a glare as everyone turned to her and stared. "i did..." she said softly.
"no way!" they all shouted, excepted for gin, whose grin widened. "she wrote music for it too," he added. He had found Momo's notebook filled with songs and music in her bag while everyone was focused on her story.
"lil peach, do you play any instruments?" renji asked.
"well... Just the guitar, bass, piano and keyboard, drums, violin, cello, flute, and saxophone..." she said as quietly as possible.
The guys all stared at her in awe. "we should all go play together!" Ichigo decided, "and I know just the place to do it!"
