ATTENTION: I do NOT own any of Adele's music. Nor am I affiliated with Adele. Just wanted to put the lyrics in, to make a point. Enjoy.
Miku was knocking at Luka's door, "LUKA! I am so sorry!" Miku banged on the door even harder, "Luka!" She screamed, until the door cracked open, "Luka..." Before she got another word out, she felt a sharp pain against her cheek, "L..." Miku was about to say something,
"So, you used me? You want to fuck Kaito? Wow. I can't believe I was a game to you. Roll the dice. What did it land on, Miku? Huh? Was it odds or evens? When you flipped the coin, was it heads or tails? Oh, I know. It was odds, because the odds were against me, to be with someone like you. And tails because I found out that I was a dumb ass. And we know that a tail is off an ass. Go me, right?!" Luka was now glaring at Miku, "I can't believe you! Out of everyone I know. I NEVER thought you would be the one to put this fucked up blindfold over my eyes. God...How could I be so damn blind?!" Luka pushed Miku against the wall, "So, tell me...How did it feel?! When I fucked you, and in the end you would turn around, and took the experience on some other damn sap. Its funny, though. Here I thought promises were meant to be kept. Not broken. And yet, here I am the one who kept their promise...And you...HAHA!" Luka made herself laugh hard, "And you...Are the fucked up bitch, that broke every damn promise you made." Luka shook her head, "Do you know that song, Set The Fire To the Rain by Adele?" Luka asked,
"Luka..." Miku went to speak,
But Luka cut her off, "Now listen, bitch." Luka stated before she began sing,
"I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they were strong, but my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
When laying with you I could stay there
Close my eyes, feel you here forever
You and me together, nothing is better
'Cause there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When we fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time
Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touch your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When we fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh
Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn"
Once Luka was done, "I am done with you, Miku. I am completely done. I can't do this anymore. Every fucking time, I think you and I are going somewhere. I am pushed back down. And pushed into a damn corner. Does it make you happy, when we have sex? Hmmm. Because you are making sure that you not to tight when you fuck Kaito?!" Luka shook her head, "The worse part...Is I believed every word that came out of your lying lips." Luka stated in a rather pissed off tone, "How could you!? You got pissed off at me, when I supposedly was with Len. And then Rin. And the worse part you got pissed off at me, when apparently Meiko and I could share a kiss, without a cause behind it. The video meant nothing to me. When I kissed you, it was a spark. And when I kissed them, I felt nothing. NOTHING!" Luka's eyes showed a lot of hatred, "Do me the hugest fucking favor, Miku. Do not talk to me when we are at school. Do not talk to me after I kick you out of my dressing room. Do not talk to me unless we are in a meeting at Crypton. When you see me, look the other way. Because Miku...The worse part, the true part. Is that I am the one who fell in love with a lying, deceitful bitch." Luka tried to her tears that were rolling down her cheeks, her hair did very little to hide the pain, "Miku...Please leave." Luka whispered as her tears began to fall, "Please..." Luka whispered, as she felt Miku grab her hands, "I said please. I will not repeat myself again." Luka watched Miku leave, once she had left, Luka walked to the sofa and laid down. And immediately began to cry into the back of the sofa.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOo
Miku walked out of the dressing room, realizing what she had done. She didn't mean to make things seem like everything was a game or she used Luka. But the words fell hard from her lips. And she was breaking, literally breaking. She wanted to call Kaito, but there was only one person she actually needed, Luka. And she just literally lost her, with one little word; 'used'. She didn't even know why she said that word, nor why she told Luka, everything was just a game, or pretend. Miku walked away from the set and walked into the rain. The tears replaced the rain that was falling from the sky. As she took in the smell of the rain, she knew this was the last time, she would see Luka. At least, in an intimate way, or in a loving way. She would only see the Luka, that had now hollowed out her heart. Miku knew that this was her fault. She hated herself. She wanted to remember the good times, but instead all she kept was seeing Luka's heart breaking once again, thanks to her.
Miku sighed, as she whispered, "The rain is my tears, they will never stop falling. They will only stop falling when the sun is shining bright. And right now. The sun will never shine again...At least not for me. Or Luka. What is wrong with me? Am I really a coward that the words; 'I love you', can't be released from my lips? Is it me, or am I afraid it'll hurt my image?" Miku sighed, "Its not my image that is hurting. Its me. Its Luka. I can't do it anymore. Every moment I have the chance to say, 'I love you'. I always seem to blow it, or something comes up. If I could go back in time. One thing I would change, is I would never have gotten with Kaito. And I would have told Luka, I love you too." Miku whispered, "And now I just lost it all. All I have left is Kaito, and its not worth it." Miku whispered, as she walked to a bench in the park,
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOo
"Luka! Look! Can we feed the swans?!" Miku was dragging Luka towards the little water area that had a few swans swimming through, "Please." Miku pouted ever so cutely,
"Well, when you put it that way. Sure!" Luka whispered, "You are lucky that I remembered we were coming to this park." Luka smiled, as she handed Miku was bread, "Miku, why do you like it here? Sure its beautiful. But what makes you come here all the time?" Luka asked,
"Its the best memory I had with my parents." Miku whispered, "We were so happy back then. Feeding the ducks, swans, geese, you name it, we fed it." Miku mustered, "But...Soon that all stopped, when my mom died. She had gotten so sick, that we would have to use a wheel chair to bring her out here. But no matter what...She always put on a strong smile. Like you. I know when you are faking a smile. I just want to know why, you have to fake it so much...When you are with me, you never to hide." Miku whispered, as she slowly leaned into Luka's arms, her back was pressed against Luka's chest, "Luka, why do you like coming here?" Miku asked, the story she was about to hear, made her regret the question,
Luka rested her head on Miku's shoulder, "Well, when I was a little tot, my mother and father, loved coming here. It was beautiful, a good atmosphere. My dad always said; 'No matter how old we get, this will be my favorite place. This is where I met your mother. She was sitting on that bench there.' And he would point to a bench that is beneath that Cherry Blossom Tree. And then he would continue, 'That day will always remain the best day of my life. Because with me meeting your mother. I got the best gift ever. You.' And he would always tickle me when he told me that story. One day, my dad got really sick. The doctors told my mom and I that he wouldn't make it." Luka stopped as she tried to stop her voice from cracking, "An...And..." Luka took in a deep breath, "The day before my dad died. I took him to the very spot, where he met my mom. And I am the one that told him the story. And he said; 'Luka...Its now your time to start a story here. And don't worry, it will be an amazing story. And everyone will love it. Your children, and your children's children. You have a good heart, Luka. Never forget that. One more thing, promise me you'll look after your mother. She is going to need you.' And he smiled at me, and I remember these words because it struck me so deep; 'Luka, one more thing. You make me so proud. You sing like angel, like your old man. Well...A very woman singing angel. I sing like some macho angel. Never give up your dreams, Luka. Promise me that.' And I promised him..." Luka had tears running down her cheeks that were now hitting Miku's shoulder, "My mom couldn't live without my dad. So, two weeks later, my mom died. And my friend said; 'She died of a broken heart.' And I said; 'No, she is with my dad on the bench, where she met him. And they will always be there watching the sunrise, and the sunset. And listening to the kids giggle as the parents play with them. Like they did me.' I..." Luka gritted her teeth as she began to cry harder,
"But Luka..." Miku finally turned around and lifted her head up, "You already made a memory there. That is the place where we had our first kiss. Remember? The first moment our eyes met, and showed something other than friendship. There is a memory there, and your parents are there, making sure you are always happy. And I always want to make you happy. I love how we keep telling people that our first kiss was when we were dancing or in the movie theatre. But it was right there, that very spot your mom and dad met. And they would be so proud of you." Miku whispered as she cupped Luka's cheeks, "Do you want to know why?" Miku asked,
"W...Why?" Luka's voice cracked,
"Because you are the strongest girl, I have ever met. You are the one that keeps people going, and no matter what...You never gave up. Even when you had drawn a short straw. You kept moving. And I can see that your parents would be smiling at your right now, because not only do they love you. But they are proud of you." Miku felt Luka's hands rest on her forearms, their foreheads rested against each other. Miku just held Luka, and kept Luka in her arms, not letting go
As Luka looked up, she saw her parents sitting there laughing, and waving at her. She saw her dad give her a thumbs up, and they both whispered; 'I love you'. Luka felt more tears roll down her cheeks, and finally she lipped; 'Thank you for everything mom, and dad. I love you both. And always will.'" Luka finally smiled as she watched them sit there and hold each other, "They will always be here for me.." Luka thought,
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Miku was back at the hotel, as she kept the memory following their her mind, Miku stopped as she saw the door ajar, "Wh..What the hell?" Miku thought, she walked in, and the door slammed behind her, "Meiko...Gumi...How did you get in here?!" Miku asked, as her head swung to the left as she was slapped,
"You gotta lot of nerve to say that to Luka! You are such a cruel and heartless bitch!" Meiko stated as she grabbed Miku's shirt by the collar and went to punch her in the face,
"I wouldn't do that, Meiko." Gumi chimed in,
"And why not?! This bitch deserves a fucking make over!" Meiko stated and went to go and hit. She watched Miku cringe waiting for the punch,
"And what would Luka say?" Gumi asked,
"She would say; 'Damn, she looks even better!' Come on, Gumi you know she deserves this!" Meiko yelled,
"She may or may not. I think a true way to make her suffer is not punching her in the face. Or anywhere. But to make her live her life without the girl she supposedly 'loves'." Gumi put quote marks with her fingers over the word; 'love', "Besides, you know Luka will come running back, once she has mended. Because to be frank, I doubt Miku meant those words." Gumi stated,
"Oh yeah! I think she did!" Meiko kept her grip,
"No. Did you not see her eyes? You could see her heart break with every single fucked up word she said. And plus, can't you see that she had been crying?" Gumi asked, "I think that is torment enough. To relive every single memory of her and Luka, and then crush it all the same." Gumi stated, with a shrug, "To be honest, Miku. I would like nothing more to watch Meiko kick your ass. But I think what is worse than a busted lip or a black eye. Is to see Luka every day in school. Knowing you can't hold her, kiss her, and just be her girlfriend. And to relive every single memory, every time you see her. I honestly hope that she finds someone else. Someone that appreciates her. Hell, it might even you. But next time you see, you can actually imagine living your life without her. Because you pretty much have pushed her away for good. Sad, really. I was really rooting for you two." Gumi stated as she walked to Meiko, "Time to let go, Meiko. She isn't worth it." Gumi stated,
"Next time you hurt, Luka. I'll kick your ass!" Meiko stated, as she was literally dragged out of the hotel room,
Gumi, however, walked back in. She sat Miku down, "Look, I don't know why you even said that. I really don't. And you have to understand, Meiko's reaction. She is a little possessive of Luka. They have a past. And surprisingly, they kept their friendship this strong for years. It never really was like that. Meiko made fun of Luka. I would say it was her pink hair." Gumi chuckled, "But I never really found out why. But soon enough, well...Way late, but they became friends. And wouldn't you know it...They were a little more than friends. Just for a brief time. I think it was how Luka knew she was on the team for ladies only. I think Meiko only dated her because she wanted to see if she was lesbian or straight. She is straight as an arrow. But funny thing, Miku. You are Luka's first kiss. First love. And yeah, you know the last one. I dare not to say the S word." Gumi sighed, "Look, Meiko has a lot problems. She really does. Luka is like a sister to her, and she would do anything protect her. And right now, you are on the radar of; 'Meiko's brutal ass kicking'. I would suggest you stay away from Luka and Meiko for awhile." Gumi went to stand,
"Gumi...Be honest...Does Luka really love me?" Miku asked,
"Yes. There is no other word than yes, in this statement." Gumi mustered, "Oh, there is one more reason, Meiko is like this. You are acting like her, when she kept waiting to tell her first boyfriend that she loved him. She lost him. And he is getting married after he graduates from high school. So if you think your the only one who thinks that being lost without wanting to be found. You are wrong. Meiko has been there. Now, if you'll excuse me I need to call Miki, before she rapes my phone anymore with calls and texts." Gumi walked out of the room and shut the door behind her.
"Meik...Meiko lost someone who she loves? Who?" Miku thought as she lowered her back to the bed, and curled up in the fettle position. She had hoped that Luka would come into the hotel room to at least to get her stuff. She never did. Miku knew she needed to make things right, but how? The words she did say to Luka, were really harsh. Maybe she needed to be brave and talk to Meiko, and see why she kept holding the words off, like her. Miku sighed as she soon fell asleep after hours of waiting for Luka.
