Moth: I thought before I worked on my bigger fan fic I should update this one! This is taking the silver so far and I'm happy! :) Don't worry... I promise those who like lemon's that there will be one...you just have to be a good little reader and wait! :) I only own Amy, OC's, and this plot! Do enjoy this chapter! Oh! Don't forget to look at my new poll and take it ! =]
"I don't think I can do it." I stated over the phone. "I'm not one to pry at information someone isn't willing to tell me." Near and I had been on the phone for the past half hour, going on an hour to discuss how I could get information out of Matt. The three of us, including Gevanni, waned to know where Mello was.
"Why don't you do what it is that people do to get information?" Near suggested.
"That's descriptive Near. Do you mean manipulation?" I asked.
"Yeah."
"I can't manipulate someone; it's a horrible thing to do!" I shot back.
"Why don't you get him drunk?" Gevanni suggested walking out of the bathroom.
"Yeah that would go over nicely. We're underage moron."
"Oh yeah…sorry."
"Near, do you want me to spend time with this Matt fellow and see where it goes? I don't want to use him for information; I could straight up say that I want to know where Mello is." Near was silent.
"No. Don't straight up ask him. Like you said, you haven't told him why you were here. If you told him he might figure it out." He didn't seem thatsmart when I met him.
"How do you know he'd figure it out?" I asked.
"His intelligence level is pretty high from what I've read. He went to the same orphanage that we went to."
"Are you serious?" I asked. "He went to Wammy's?"
"Yeah, he sure did. Back to what we were talking about. Do not straight up ask him any more information about Mello. If it so happens that he tells you, roll with it. It's the best thing you can do. Please hand the phone over to Gevanni." I looked at the twenty five year old and handed him the phone. How am I supposed to get close to Matt, or at least find out where Mello is. I don't like "using" people to get information. Hey maybe you might like this kid; he might not be so bad. I leaned against the wall and crossed my arms watching Gevanni talk to Near.
"All right, I think we can handle that. Talk to you later." He hung up the phone and tossed it to me.
"So, what'd Near say?"
"Let's go for a walk." He said.
"A walk…? Are you serious?" I asked.
"Serious as pie." He tried to make a joke, but it just didn't work.
"I'll go put my shoes on." I groaned trudging over to my suitcase and slipping on my shoes. I fixed my hair, and changed my shirt.
"We'll be back soon enough, all right? Don't mope." He scolded just like a parent.
"Oh…well gee thanks Dad!" I snapped back. I followed him out of the hotel room and towards the elevators. "We're just going for a walk?"
"Would you relax, I'm not going to kidnap you and rape you. Yes, we're going for a walk." I could hear the dry humor in his voice.
"Very funny Stephen." He pressed lobby and we waited. "Come on, really what are we doing?" I begged.
"We're just taking a walk. Nothing weird or special about it. I promise; and if we happen to bump into your friend Matt he can join too." Gevanni had no emotion in his voice as he spoke.
"I knew it! You want to find out your little information by using your smooth talk." I narrowed my eyes on him and he got all nervous.
"No! Not at all! I just said that so it wouldn't seem like I was gonna be a dick and not let him talk with you if we bumped into him." He said. I watched his entire become red as a cherry.
"Yeah sure thing. Why can't you just ask me to do it? Perhaps I will." We walked out of the hotel and headed to the right. I hadn't a clue where we were going, but I knew that Gevanni wouldn't do anything sketchy.
"Ask you to do what?" he played dumb.
"Whatever." I said walking ahead and crossing my arms again. We were by the water front so I headed towards the pier.
"Oh, hi Amy." I pulled my head up and spotted Matt.
"Hi…" I said.
"Are you still upset about me following you?" he asked scratching the back of his head. I shook my head 'no'. "Okay good! I was wondering if perhaps you were…um free right now?"
"Amy? Oh no she's not free, but you can walk with us if you'd like." Gevanni said scooting between Matt and I. Oh Gevanni…come on! I thought.
"A-Are you sure? If you two are going to do something I wouldn't want to intrude." Matt said like a scared puppy while making eye contact with Gevanni.
"Don't let him scare you; he's just here because mom and dad told him to come." I linked my arm with Matt's and pulled him ahead of Gevanni.
"I'll be watching you like a hawk little missy!" he hollered.
"Great…" I grumbled under my breath. Once I realized that I was still holding onto Matt I let go. "Sorry…he's just that older brother protective. Don't let him scare you. He's a big wuss at times. Anyway, here we are…walking…alone…" I chuckled nervously and pulled at my ponytail.
"Hah yeah…and it's not awkward." He said with a smile.
"That it is not. But uhm I do have a question for you."
"I'm sorry; for the last time I can't tell you where Mello is." He said without even hearing my question.
"I was going to ask if you wanted to go sit down and chat…" I giggled nervously. "If not then that's fine…" Why am I getting nervous? Please don't let my conscience be right…he can't like me. He's a little puppy. I cleared my throat and tapped my foot on the ground.
"Oh…"I saw him go from pale to red. "I'm sorry. I assumed you were going to ask more about Mello. I gave him my word that I would NOT reveal where he resides." Matt stated putting his hand on his chest.
"It's okay. I have vowed not to tell you why I'm here. So we both have something to keep secret." I smirked a little at him. Now that you mention it, he is really cute…and goofy. No! This is Mello's friend! Wait why should I care if I don't hurt Mello's feelings. I'm sure that he hasn't felt pain like I did before. But I just can't do that to someone; that would really be evil.
"Uh…is anyone there?" I heard Matt say. I realized I had dozed off into thought.
"Sorry, I was thinking about stuff." I lied and smiled.
"If that sitting date is still up for grabs I think I'll take it." He said.
"Oh! Yes of course let's sit down." We found a little green bench to sit at and chat. "So Matt, ahem, uhm…you really followed me for two months?" I asked.
"Can we not talk about that?" he stated. "I'd really like to get to know you."
"Can you please just answer the question; yes or no would be fine." I looked in his green eyes and chewed my lip.
"Yeah…I really was tailing you for two months; now can we drop it?" I saw a little bit of anger in his face. "You can't arrest me or do anything. I didn't do anything wrong. I never came into contact with you, touched you, or harmed you. I-" I put my hand over his mouth to get him to stop talking.
"I wasn't going to do anything. I just wanted to know the truth my gosh!" I took my hand off his mouth. "Well, what do you want to know about; other than why I'm here." I stated twirling my hair a little. I realized what I was doing and I stopped.
"Well for starters what's your favorite ice cream?" he asked lighting up a cigarette. This boy wants to know what my favorite ice cream is? Jeez!
"All right, well it's cookie dough with rainbow sprinkles. How about yourself?" I asked sitting back and pushing some hair behind my ear.
"Chocolate. It's simple, yummy, and it never gets old." He stated inhaling the hazardous smoke. "What kind of flowers are your favorite?"
"That's an easy question, I love blue roses; they are the rarest of all. I don't know if Mello happened to mention this but uhm," I cleared my throat," he ripped up a picture I drew of those beautiful flowers. I saw the tiny pieces fall to the ground. I wanted to kill that boy then, but something deep down told me not to." This feels too weird for words.
"Oh…I'm sorry. No he never told me anything of that nature. That's horrible." I agreed with him.
"Yeah…and he never said sorry. But if I do remember correctly when he saw he cry, he hadn't realized what he had done. He had the face of a five year old when they have done something bad, but they didn't know it was bad. Something tells me he ripped it up on purpose. He knew how much it meant to me, but he didn't know it meant that much." I looked around and saw Gevanni walking over to us with drinks.
"May I ask why it was important?"
"NO!" I said rather loudly. "I will NOT tell you why it means so much." I crossed my arms and sat back.
"Okay, okay, I was just asking. A simple 'yes' or 'no' would've been fine." I calmed down after my yelling spree.
"I-I'm sorry. But I uhm…I don't tell people about my past for a reason." I stated curling up in a ball. "It's buried deep down and only one person knows."
"Hey guys, I thought you might like a drink. Cold soda?" Gevanni asked.
"Yeah sure!" I pepped up right after I had some caffeine in my body.
~~ Matt's P.O.V~~
How am I supposed to get information from this girl when I can't get out more than a stupid sentence? I thought as Amy's brother handed her and I a soda.
"So, what else is there to know about me? I like to be funny, I'm very reserved, and I don't have a lot of close friends. My parents weren't the greatest, I have only one best friend, and I love kitties. Oh! I went to Wammy's Orphanage." She said.
"You did?" I asked almost spilling my drink on me. She nodded.
"After Mello left I didn't feel there was a purpose…" I felt the blushing start to come to my face. She was so pretty when she talked that I didn't know that she was done. "Uh Matt…hello Matt?"
"What? Oh! Sorry I got lost in…you're eyes…" I blurted out covering my mouth and looking away.
"What?" she asked.
"Nothing! Nothing, I didn't say a word." Shit I know I'm turning red now. Damnit!
"Hehe you're all red Matt." She teased.
"I most certainly am not!"
"I think you most certainly are." She shot back.
"Why would I be blushing at a time like this?" I asked trying not to blush again.
"Mmmm maybe because you think I'm pretty?" she suggested with a tiny smile. How'd––did she guess? Crap! Crap! Crap! No, I can't do this. I can't do this. "Don't worry, it's fine. I think you're really cute too, but you're still too young for me to date."
"Awe come on, not even one date?" I blurted out yet again. What the hell is wrong with me? Why am I suddenly blurting out things?
"I knew you wanted to ask me out on a date." She caught me red handed. There was no going back now.
"Yeah…so? It's not like I did!" I shot back.
"Yeah…but you still wanted to and that's all that matters." She smirked and leaned against her brother.
"Well…" I couldn't believe I was saying this, "d'you want to?" I asked.
"No…not really. I think you're cute and charming Matt, but I don't have those kinds of feelings for you…" she trailed off.
"Why'd you trail off?" I asked.
"Because…well…for some reason you remind me so much of Mello. Just seeing your face reminds me of him." She stated.
"Well…we are friends, but I don't see how that would do anything."
"It just makes me miss Mello more…" she hugged onto her brother and I sat there dumbfounded.
"Look, Amy, I want to tell you where Mello is…but I promised him I wouldn't. Believe me when I say I want to tell you." She looked up from her brother's arm and turned around and faced me.
"Can you at least tell him something for me?" she asked.
"Yeah…sure anything you want." I said.
"Can you please, please, please, please tell him that…" all of a sudden my phone rang and I opened it.
"Yeah?"
"Dude what are you up to? I thought you were gonna––" I handed her the phone, hoping I wouldn't regret it. It's about time that these two have talked. I've had enough of this. Whether I like her or not, she needs to talk to Mello.
~~~ Amy's P.O.V~~
Matt swiftly handed me his phone. Gevanni sat straight and looked at me and the phone. Matt kept mouthing 'talk' and that's what I did.
"H-Hello?" I said.
"Who is this?" the other person said. "Where is Matt?"
"Me-Mello, is this you?" I hesitantly asked.
"Amy?" I heard his deep voice say over the phone. I couldn't believe I was talking to Mello. I hadn't talked to him in over four years, and if it hadn't been for this little miss hap, it would've been going on five years.
"Yeah…it's me." I looked at Gevanni who had that parental look on his face. He wanted me to do something and get Mello's whereabouts. I pushed aside my current emotions and went ahead and asked Mello something I have been wanting to ask him for a long time. "Why did you make my life hell Mello?" I asked with tears forming in my eyes. "Why?"
"Because…." he had taken a long pause. I was waiting for him to say something. "Come on Mello you've got to tell me!" I practically shouted. The tears were beginning to fall off my face. "Mello, I want to know why you ripped up my picture, why you bullied me, called me names, and made fun of me. Please tell me." I demanded now. The only thing I heard was the dial tone. That motherfucker hung up one me. I couldn't believe it. Did that really just happen? I was soon left in silence. I closed the phone and handed it to Matt. I looked at Matt and then at Gevanni. "Can you tell Mello, that I think he's a fucking dick head? Thanks. Come on Gevanni, let's finish our walk." I couldn't believe it. After all these years Mello hasn't changed. That didn't surprise me. So why did I think he did change? I guess my heart was hoping that he truly loved me back. I guess not.
