AN: This is my first P.O.V. story I've written in a while.
Romance in the Fright Pt. 5 (final)
*@----}----{----@* Mimi's P.O.V.
I just stood there. I didn't know what to do or say. I mean, this is all such a big shock. He, Yamato Ishida, just asked me out. The boy of my dreams for years. Everyone's eyes were on me. Sora smiled at me, expecting me to reply positively. But how can I? I made a vow to myself that I'd never ever fancy him again. And now just because he asked me out, I should throw myself in his arms and just ride away in his horse to the beautiful castle?
"I-I" I stuttered out. I really don't know what to do. This guy has caused me indescribable pain for years! How can anyone guarantee that he won't do it again.? Tears began to spill out of my eyes as I covered my shaking jaw. What am I supposed to do? Someone just give me a sign?
My head began to feel like it was spinning. They all just stared at me, waiting for my answer. But what am I going to do if I don't have an answer. I felt like a little lost lamb, not knowing where to go. Without second thought, I just turned and ran. (AN: Sorry, I'm just kind of getting sick of those sappy stories when they just say they love each other and they go home happy. I like a little obstacle once in a while.)
I ran as fast as I could, not even knowing where I was going as I wiped the teardrops building up in my eyes. Every now and then I'd let out a whimper. Then, I heard a set of rapid footsteps. I had to run faster, but it feels like there's no escape...
My princess dress is not helping me at all. I have to lift the front up in order not to trip. I don't think I've ever ran this fast before. Thank God that cheerleading kept me in shape. I pushed open a pair of heavy iron doors and found myself in the parking lot. I found Damion's car and I quickly ran towards it.
The panting and footsteps grew louder and stronger when finally, I felt a tug on my wrist. Then, I felt a strong hand wrap around my thin wrist. I was spun around and two strong arms wrapped tightly around me. When I spun around, I found myself staring into those familiar, warm blue eyes again. I felt like I was going to melt.
*@----}----{----@* Matt's P.O.V.
It hurt me so much to see Mimi like this. Her usually cheerful face replaced with tear-stained cheeks. I could feel her warmth as I held her closer. "I-I'm sorry." I let go hesitantly as I realized what I was doing. She silently stepped back and looked down on the floor. "Well, at least please give me an answer." I asked curiously. I hate hanging over the edge like this.
"I... I don't know. I really don't know." She whispered weakly as he knees seemed to have given in and she fell into a kneeling position. I kneeled also on one foot so we can be closer to eye level. Slowly, I took her small, cold hands and wrapped them in mine as she slowly looked up.
"I'm sorry if I caused you any pain. But all I have to say is that I've loved you since we met at the digital world. I remember that I was always so protective of you because I thought I saw you as a little sister. But slowly I began to realize that I saw you as more than that, much more. But I didn't know how I could show it. And even more, I was afraid that you didn't like me that way and all I'd end up with is a disappointment. I thought that if I drift away from you then my affections would slowly fade away. But that stupid idea didn't work." I confessed as I stared deeply into her warm brown eyes to prove that I was telling the truth.
Suddenly, Mimi's whole body tensed and he struggled to release my grip. She abruptly stood up with anger. "Yes, you've cause me pain. In fact, you've caused me a lot of pain. All these years I just kept all this pain bottled up inside me. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. I woke up from my dreams! I realized that things aren't what I wanted them to be like, they weren't what I dreamt! That was when I vowed that I have to let go of all this pain. I vowed that I would never let anyone hurt me like that again! I've began my new life, Matt, and you're not in it!" She yelled compassionately. I've never seen her like this, so angry.
She seemed to have just realized her outburst and began to lower her tone of voice again. "I-I'm sorry. It's just that... well. I'm... I'm afraid." Mimi said followed by a sigh.
"It's all right. But just please tell me what you're afraid of so I might be able to overcome the fear. Please. I want to do anything I can." I muttered softly yet strongly.
"I... I just don't want to hurt again. I've had my share of emotional pain. I don't want anymore." Mimi said as her eyes became teary again.
I hugged her close as if to provide emotional support. "Well, Mimi. If you say yes. I won't be able to guarantee how it'll turn out or if either of us would get hurt. But I can guarantee you that it will be great while it lasts. To tell you the truth, sometimes I'm afraid too. Afraid that the pain would be too much if I fall too deep and just crash. But I guess none of us know any of that, which is part of the magic." I must've sounded pretty persuasive because she looked up into my eyes and smiled at me, something she hasn't done in a long time.
"Thank you, Matt. I feel much better now." She whispered softly.
"Well then, can I have an answer. I don't care what it is, I just need to know." I asked impatiently. But these are things that are impossible to be patient about.
"Hm... Let me think. No." She said. I felt my whole spirit sink. But then a mischievious smile spread across her face as she said, "Got you there for a second, didn't I?" I felt my spirit lift again and I wanted to shout to the whole world that Mimi's my girlfriend. But all I did was lean forward and kissed her on the forehead as she giggled. "Matt?" She asked.
"Yeah?" I muttered.
"You DO realize that we're in a parking lot of an old, shut down factory." She commented as we both broke out into laughter.
"I say we get out of this dump." I said.
She seemed to have thought for a while. "I agree." She nodded her head. Then, I picked her up and she screamed in excitement. I began to twirl us around and around as she placed her arms around my neck. Finally, I began to jet full speed towards my car. I felt like I was in my own fantasy.
*@----}----{----@* After the dance, Sora's P.O.V.
Everything went great! After the dance, we all stayed after to clean up. And of course, Tai complained. So what else is new? We all got back to the dance early enough so we didn't miss the end. We enjoyed it as much as we can and news of Matt and Mimi spread like thin air. Damion was old history. Seeing how they both are, no one dare to ask what happened to him.
"Do you want to get a ride with me, Mimi? Or do you want to bike with Sora?" Matt offered.
Mimi thought for a while, but then she smiled at me and answered, "I think I'll bike with Sora."
After we got back, we took turns for the shower. We laid in our backs as we both stared out the window. "Thank you." I heard Mimi whisper.
"You're welcome." I whispered back. And all was silent again. I know that tonight will be the first in weeks that we'll have good dreams. Slowly, my eyelids became heavier and heavier and finally, they fluttered shut. The last thing I saw was a once very troubled best friend of mine sleeping peacefully, something I haven't seen in a while.
