PART 2

My feet pounded along the solid cement, as Mimi's house entered into view. A smile ascended onto my face. I was helpless to stop it, not that I had any reason to do so. My paced slowed but my heart quickened. It was hard to be excited when you were scared out of your wits.
I just hope she is home. I would hate to be so damn happy with no outlet or anyone to talk to.
I make my way up the pathway to her doorstep and I obediently ring the doorbell. Silence. I ring it again, just in case it wasn't heard the first time. Still no answer.
"Where could she be?" I ask myself aloud.
"Who?" I hear behind me. I turn to face the intruder, who trespassed on my thoughts. It was Ken. But he wasn't alone. My eyes travel the length of the mystery guest's legs and eventually my eyes make it to their eyes.
"Mimi?" I asked bewildered. Her eyes are bloodshot, and puffy. She's been crying. Why? Please don't say it has anything to do with Ken. If he laid a finger on her I will-
"Hello Matt. Ken here was just walking me home." She turns her attention to Ken and he leans down to give her a chaste kiss on her cheek. My eyes almost bulge out of their sockets. I quickly regain my composure and I am a stonewall of emotion.
"Bye babe." Ken whispers quietly and then throws me a pointed glance. I return with little to no enthusiasm. He makes his way down the path, turning the corner probably to head back to his house.
"Well Matt what brings you here?" Mimi asks. I can't believe she just kissed Ken. Davis would be furious if he knew she kissed his soccer rival. I turn to look at her, shock evident on my face.
"I could ask you the same thing." I shoot back. She looks confused.
"I live here." She replies simply. I eye her for a minute then the full implications of her statement filters through my fuzzy mind.
"I meant what is he doing here?" I asked, my hand gesturing to the exact spot that Ken had recently vacated.
"He was dropping me off at home. Anyways, weren't you supposed to call Kari?" Kari's name is said with venom.
"That's why I'm here. I broke up with Kari." I say in a matter-of-fact tone. She looks unimpressed. This was not the desired affect I was going for.
"What's the matter with you?" I ask. Then before I can take it back, or mend the obvious gap it's about to make, Mimi grows angry.
"What's the matter with me? Your asking me what the matter is with me? You come over to tell me that you broke up with Kari, are you expecting some kind of victory party or something? Because if you are I have news for you Yamato… I don't care."
This shocks me, and I'm sure she can see it all over my face too.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I can't believe I just told Matt off. He's going to be furious. But I needed to say it. He needed to know that I refuse to be his 'b-plan'. I know I could have been less harsh to make my point, but the adrenaline rush I got from shouting at him was phenomenal.
"I'm sorr- Wait! You don't care? I don't care if you don't care! I broke up with her because I had feelings for you and I couldn't go on dating her if it meant that I would see you every day and not be able to express my feelings for you." He shouts at me. My eyes grow wide and I swallow a lump that forms in my throat. But like I said before. I refuse to be his 'b-plan'.
"I need to go now. I'll see you later." I quickly move pass him, and I enter my house without a backward glance. If I had turned around, I'm sure I would have run into his arms. But this is for the best. Ken will be good for me, and I will be good for him. Even if it means giving up Matt.
