CHAPTER 26
"I have nothing to say to you" Mei turned around and continued to walk towards the school entrance, Lee grabbed her wrist as he spoke.
"Well I have something to say to you"
Mei stood still, she kept her back facing Lee as she waited for him to speak again.
"Why havent you talked to Yuzu yet? This whole thing is a huge misunderstanding an-"
Mei had reached her limit, and she definitely didn't want to be lectured by the one person that came between her and Yuzu. She turned and faced him as she cut him off.
"I understand everything just fine you-"
Lee cut her off as he spoke "She's leaving, did you know that?"
Mei felt her heart ache, her mind was starting to be filled with so many different questions, she could see the sadness in Lee's eyes, she pulled her hand back and turned back as she spoke.
"I wish her the best then"
Mei could feel the tears falling as she took each step, she could see some of the students looking at her as they passed, then Lee's voice hit her ears again, Mei could feel her anger raising.
"Mei your the only one that she will ever listen to, can-"
Mei kept walking forward as she yelled back at him.
"She's in love with you now, you should talk to her"
Lee didn't know what to do, he felt so frustrated as he tried to reason with the student council president.
"What are you talking about Mei, its not like that, really"
Lee's eyes widened as Mei turned back around to face him, her beautiful face with tears running down her cheeks, he could see the hurt in her eyes and the pain in her voice as she spoke.
"There is nothing that you could say, I know what I saw and heard"
A few more students started to watch the scene in front of them, they had never seen the council president show any emotions before, but now here she was just outside the school entrance with tears running down her face and yelling at a boy.
Mei tried to fasten her pace, she was nearly to the gate, but the next sentence that left Lee's mouth made her stop in her tracks.
"I'M GAY!"
"…." Mei stood frozen where she was.
All the students around and within earshot all started whispering. Mei felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned to see Lee's eyes watering, she was still lost for words but Lee spoke again.
"Zuzu is the only one that knows, she was helping me practise confessing to this guy I have fallen in love with, sorry, I asked her to never tell anyone. But thats why im here, because you 2 really are perfect for each other, iv'e never seen Zuzu as happy as she is then when she is with you"
Lee could see the shock on Mei's face, he could feel the weird looks from some of the guy and girl students as they walked passed. But he didn't care, Yuzu is his oldest and closest friend, she truly is like a sister to him and he would do anything for her.
"Mei? Did you hear what I said?"
Mei looked the tall handsome guy in the eyes as she spoke softly.
"I…"
BACK TO YUZU AT THE MANSION
"Young Miss we will be leaving soon"
Yuzu looked up at the Maid as she gave a warm smile, she looked out the window as the events of the past week ran through her head, she pulled a chain necklace out from under her shirt, Mei's engagement ring hung on the end, she looked at it for a few moments.
Yuzu looked behind the necklace and saw the beautiful piano that her Great Grandmother had played the other day.
The mansion was huge and all the maids were really nice to her, her Grandmother was so welcoming, but Yuzu still felt empty inside, she missed Mei and everything about her.
Yuzu sat at the piano and slowly lifted the lid, she let her fingertips lightly brush along the top of the keys, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
Mei ran as fast as she could, the information that she had just received from Lee turned her world upside down.
'I'm so stupid, why didn't I just talk to her?'
Thoughts of never seeing Yuzu again entered her mind which only made Mei run even faster, she pounded her feet against the ground and moved them as fast as she possibly could.
She saw the large gate, she quickly made her way to the keypad that her step mother had told her about, Mei quickly entered the code and made her way inside.
A Maid greeted Mei, she felt relief wash over her as the Maid said that Yuzu was in the main room, the Maid offered to take Mei but as soon as she heard the sound of a piano she knew exactly where she needed to go.
The sight in front of Mei was breathtaking to her. Yuzu was sitting at the piano, the was the sun was streaming through the windows and hitting Yuzu's golden hair was making her look like a shinning angel. Mei took a few steps forward, then she closed her eyes as she heard Yuzu's voice hit her ears.
(YUZU SINGING) A THOUSAND YEARS BY CHRISTINA PERRI
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone?
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
I'll love you for a thousand more
Ohh
One step closer
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Yuzu played the last few keys and slowly opened her eyes.
"Mei" She spoke softly as she stared out the window.
"Yuzu"
Yuzu spun around to see Mei standing there, tears running down her cheeks.
"Mei? What are you doing here?"
Yuzu stayed sitting as she just looked at the student council president.
"Yuzu, I came to see you, I miss you I-"
"Where's Mimi?"
Mei looked surprised as Yuzu seemed to be looking passed her to see if anyone else was going to walk in.
"Mimi? I dont know where she is, what does she have to do with anything Yuzu?"
Mei held Yuzu in her stare as she waited for the blonde to speak, but the answer that Yuzu gave only confused her even more.
"Nothing, dont worry about it" Yuzu's voice was cold and Mei could see pain in the older girls eyes.
Yuzu gripped the ring under her shirt as a few tears fell from her eyes, she went to wipe her tears away but Mei was at her side fast and gently wiped the tears as she spoke in a soft and caring voice that Yuzu knew was only for her.
"Yuzu, i'm-"
Mei was cut off as the maid came in to get Yuzu.
"Miss Yuzuko the car is ready"
Yuzu gave Mei a small sad smile as she stood up and spoke.
"Sorry Mei I really have to go my Great Grandmother is waiting"
"Please stay, dont go"
Mei had tears running down her face, the thought of losing Yuzu made her feel sick.
Yuzu looked at Mei then back to the maid before she spoke.
"Could you give us 5 more minutes please?"
The maid politely bowed and exited the room. Both girls stood still looking at each other. Both had their own thoughts running through their minds.
Mei finally found the will to speak but Yuzu spoke first.
"Mei will you sing with me?"
Before Mei could answer Yuzu was already walking over to a guitar that was sitting on a stand, she then walked to the balcony doors and gestured for Mei to follow her.
Once both girls were outside Yuzu started playing different chords and humming softly.
"I dont know what you want me to sing Yuzu"
Mei didn't know what Yuzu exactly wanted right now and the request from the older girl was really confusing Mei even more.
Yuzu gave her a soft smile as she started strumming and talking.
"Let's just sing whatever comes to our mind Mei"
"Really?" Mei thought that Yuzu knew she wasn't really the musical type, but the smile that was coming from the blonde was making it hard for Mei to say anything but yes.
"Yeah, thats normally when I get my best ideas, I'll go first then you can jump in o.k?"
Yuzu spoke softly as she continued to strum different chords.
Mei simply nodded as she waited for the blonde to start.
(YUZU AND MEI SINGING) BEST PART BY DANIEL CAESAR FEAT H.E.R
(YUZU)
Oh, yeah
You don't know, babe
When you hold me
Yuzu looked Mei straight in the eyes as she sang each word
And kiss me slowly, it's the sweetest thing
Yuzu couldn't stop the smile as she thought of Meis soft pink lips
And it don't change
If I had it my way
You would know that you are
You're the coffee that I need in the morning
Mei normally would find these lines too cheesy, but hearing them come from Yuzu only made her fall deeper in love with the blonde girl.
You're my sunshine in the rain when it's pouring
Won't you give yourself to me
Give it all, oh
I just wanna see
I just wanna see how beautiful you are
Yuzu gave Mei a look, Mei knew that Yuzu wanted her to sing the next verse, but she still didn't have any idea what to say.
You know that I see it
I know you're a star
Where you go I'll follow
No matter how far
As Mei listened to each word she felt her heart melt, Yuzu always gave her so much love, she needed and wanted to show Yuzu how sorry she was and how much the older really means to her.
If life is a movie
Oh you're the best part, oh oh oh
You're the best part, oh oh oh
Best part
Yuzu gave Mei a nod as she picked a few strings, Mei held Yuzu in her gaze and took a deep breath.
(MEI SINGING)
It's the sunrise and those Green eyes, yes
You're the one that I desire
Mei surprised herself, as soon as the first line left her mouth, every word after just flowed out.
When we wake up
And then we make love
Both girls blushed hard
It makes me feel so nice
Mei reached out and cupped Yuzu's cheek.
You're my water when I'm stuck in the desert
You're the Tylenol I take when my head hurts
A wide smile was on Yuzu's face as she listened to each word
You're the sunshine on my life
(YUZU AND MEI)
I just wanna see how beautiful you are
You know that I see it
I know you're a star
Where you go I'll follow
No matter how far
If life is a movie
Then you're the best part, oh oh oh
You're the best part, oh oh oh
Best part
If you love me won't you say something
If you love me won't you
Mei couldn't explain it but there was this special feeling of singing together with Yuzu, she could feel the emotions.
Won't you
If you love me won't you say something
If you love me won't you
Love me, won't you
If you love me won't you say something
If you love me won't you
If you love me won't you say something
If you love me won't you
Love me, won't you
If you love me won't you say something
If you love me won't you
If you love me won't you say something
If you love me won't you
Love me, won't you
Mei rested her forehead against Yuzu's, Yuzu's hand came to a stop and she closed her eyes, just like magnets their lips found each other, the kiss was slow and full of emotion.
Both girls reluctantly pulled back as their lungs needed air.
"Your still in love with me Mei" Yuzu was giving her biggest smile as she pulled Mei into a hug causing the guitar to fall to the ground. After hearing Mei sing with her Yuzu was more sure then ever that the taller girl was in love with only her.
"I never stopped Yuzu"
Mei held Yuzu so tight, Yuzu moved back so that she could look into Meis eyes as she pulled the ring out.
"Yuzu how did you get that?" Mei was confused, she thought that she had lost the ring and had spent the last few days trying to find it.
Yuzu explained how she had seen Mimi and what Mimi said to her.
Mei was in a rage she was going to give Mimi a piece of her mind but Yuzu managed to calm her down.
"She obviously has feelings for you and is jealous of me Mei. Dont worry about it, as long as we are together right?"
Yuzu slid the ring on Mei's finger and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, Mei quickly pulled Yuzu closer and gave her a passionate kiss.
"Sorry Miss but we really should go if you want to be on time"
Both turned to see the maid blushing as she tried to avoided eye contact with either of them.
"Oh right, im coming now"
Yuzu gave Mei a apologetic smile before she spoke again.
"Sorry Mei, I really have to go, I promised I would"
Yuzu could see Mei had something on her mind, she gently cupped her face as she spoke.
"Whats wrong Mei? You can tell me anything"
Mei took a breath before she spoke.
"Will you come back?"
Mei gave a confused look as Yuzu smiled at her before she spoke.
"I'll always come back to you"
Yuzu gave Mei another sweet kiss before she headed for the door.
