Last chapter! Only the epilogue left! Aren't you all so sad? I bet you are. Although this is the last chapter, I'd still like reviews since it is the moment you've all been waiting for judging by your reviews.
Hope I did it justice.
This Chapters quote:
Me(panting and out of breath): You know, when you've been smoking illigal substances round the back of a tourist attraction and a fire alarm goes off, yelling 'BAIL' at the top your lungs then having five teenage girl bolting out from behind said tourist attraction, may cause more suspision that simply walking awat casually.
(Gemma falls over)
Me:(cnt) Although it seems Gemma is unable to do anything casually at this moment in time.
"She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested Dry your eyes mate
She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she's blessed with
She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures
By pushin' my hand away to my chest, from hers
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now
It's over."--
The Streets "Dry your eyes"
Character: Yasuhara
Reason: Seriously, have you been reading this at all??
Mai closed her eyes and looked towards the ground.
"I came over to suprise you, take you out for a romantic meal to celebrate your graduation...I had everything planned. Then I find your spare key and come in and..." He trailed off. "Are you leaving?"
Mai sighed and looked at him. "Come into the kitchen. I'll make tea."
Her kettle and a few cups were the only things not packed, along with a box of tea. There was complete silence as she made the hot drink and Yasuhara's cup was half empty before Mai spoke, her own cup still full. She was going to come clean. She was going to tell him everything.
"I got into the Tokyo Institue of Performing Arts. I'm leaving for Tokyo..." She paused. She couldn't say tomorrow. "Soon...I didn't want you to find out like this...I was going to tell you...I was going to tell everyone..." She placed her cup on the counter and looked at him.
"It's ok though. We can still have a long distance relationship." Yasuhara smiled weakly, putting his now empty cup down and taking Mai's hands in his. "Mai I have to ask you something."
"No...let me say something first ok? It's really important." Mai looked at him, and for the first time really looked at him. His hair was as black as Naru's, but seemed sleeker as softer. His eyes a warm brown, hiding behind glasses that would have looked stupid on anyone else but on him, they made him look great. His nose was a bit to long and his mouth too thin. His skin was only a shade lighter than her own and his arms covered in fine dark hairs.
She realised right then, in an ironic and cruel twist of fate, esspecially considering what she was about to tell him, that she did love him. Somewhere, deep down in her heart, she just wished to pull him close, and tell him she was staying for him. But she couldn't.
"I've been..." She clenched her eyes shut and pulled her hands away from him, wrapping them around herself. She was suddenly very cold.
"I've been cheating on you. With Naru."
Her heart broke as his smile crumbled and his eyes widened behind his glasses, his hands hanging limply by his side. He seemed to deflate as he collapsed into a chair.
"Have you...have you slept with him?"
"Yes." She tried to say it loudly but it came out as a meek whisper.
"How long?" When Mai looked at him he looked back threw weak and weary eyes. "How long have you been with him?"
"Since the night of my party." She sighed, looking anywhere but Yasuhara.
"Almost 5 months!" Yasuhara jumped up. "But I thought we...we were happy! We were going to have a..." Sudden realisation crossed his face. "The baby. It was his wasn't it?"
Mai looked at the floor, tears spilling past her eyelids.
"It. Was. His. Wasn't it!" Yasuhara grabbed her shoulder, tightly enough to hurt her.
"Yes!" Mai sobbed. "I'm so...so sorry Yasuhara!" She looked up at him, her eyes red rimmed.
It annoyed Yasuhara to no end that she was still so beautiful and he just wanted to bundle her up in his arms and tell her it would all be ok. But he knew he couldn't.
"You're sorry!" He shouted, pulling her closer, his face right infront of her own. "You're sorry!"
Mai nodded, sobbing harder than ever.
"You've been cheating on me since we started dating! You let me believe the baby you were carrying was mine! When it was Narus!" He pushed her away and she stummbled before falling to her knees. "You told me you were over him and that...that you loved me!"
"I do!" Mai cried jumping up, wiping her eyes with the back of her hands. "I do love you!"
"But you're not in love with me right?" He sneered, turning for the door.
"Wait-" She reached out and grabbed his arm and in an uncharacteristic flash of rage, he lifted his arm, pushing her away, his hand accidently colliding with her jaw, sending her to the ground again.
"See this?" He yelled holding out a small black box. "See it!" He flipped it open and Mai held back a gasp. In side was a simple gold ring with a single solitare diamond. "I was proposing to you tonight!" He screamed. "I was going to fucking propose!"
He took the ring out the box and threw it at her, the corner of the diamond catching her cheek, cutting it slightly. "Have it. I don't want to look and you or it again!"
And Mai stayed on the floor in tears, drops of blood falling onto the pale tiles of the kitchen, staring at the ring, glinting in the dim light of the kitchen, long after he had slammed the door.
Naru sighed as he stood in the door way to his personal office. Everyone-apart Mai and Yasuhara-were sitting on the couches talking loudly.
"I've told you, this office is not a coffee shop-"
He stopped when the door slammed open and a very angry and rather drunk Yasuhara stood in the door way.
"Hey Yasu-" Bou-sans greeting was cut short when Yasuhara lunged at Naru and held him by his neck against the wall.
"What the hell!" Ayako gasped jumping up.
"What? They don't know either?" Yasuhara shouted with a humorless laugh.
"Yasuhara! What are you doing!" Lin gasped after exiting his office, a piece of paper clenched in his hands.
"Getting even." He muttered as he was pulled back by Bou-san and John, Masako running over to Naru, who was now slouched on the floor gasping for breath, and kneeling by him.
"What was up with that Yasuhara!" Bou-san asked angrily, pushing him onto the couch. "And...are you drunk?"
"What? Naru really didn't tell you?"
"Yasuhara-" Lin's warning tone was cut off.
"Oh so you know do you Lin? You know that the perfect Dr Oliver Davis over there was screwing my girlfriend, everyones beloved Mai!"
Silence filled the room.
"Naru..." Masako pulled away from him as if she had been burned. "Is that true?"
"Oh yeah." Yasuhara's smile wasn't his normal one. It was twisted and cruel. "He's the one who got her pregnante."
Everyone stood shocked, as Naru stood up slowly.
"She told you?"
Yasuhara turned to him with a cold look. "Yeh. She told me. Just before I proposed to her."
He stood up and stormed out the office, slamming the door behind him.
Lin stood holding a sheet of paper tightly.
"I..I just got this from Mai." He broke the silence almost hesitantly.
"What is it?" Bou-san asked still in shock.
"A letter..."
"Read it out." John urged.
"Dear everyone.
I'm guessing right now Lin is reading this out to the whole group. Right now I guess I'm about 2 hours away from you all. I got in to Tokyo Institute of Performing Arts. I didn't know how to tell you but...I guess this is best.
By now I'm sure you all know what I've done. And I'm so, so sorry to everyone, for everything I put you all through.
Masako, don't hate me too much. I really enjoyed hanging around with you.
Ayako, Bou-san, don't kill each other, please. It would be a terrible inconvinance if my mother and father figures killed each other.
Lin, you know you love me. And you know that I know you love me. And I know that you know that I know you'll miss me. Heh. Try saying all of that ten times fast.
John, sweet, pure John, everyones best friend. I'll miss you.
And Naru.
Remember that night at my appartment, and comforted me? You almost told me you loved me. I want you to know I love you too. I always have.
I...I don't think that I can stand seeing any of you any more, at least for a while. It'll just remind me of what I've done. What a different person I've become.
I'm changing my phone number so don't try and contact or see me. Please.
I'll come back one day. I don't know when, but I know I will.
Love,
Mai
xox
P.S; I walk with heros."
None of you expected that did you? Mai isn't with Naru OR Yasuhara. Mwahahahaha. I'm evil and I love it.
Epilogue is up next. Sigh. I'm quite sad now.
Please review!!
