02 Melodious Homage: #4: Bad Day







Authors note: #4 . . .Thinking of a song for Miyako was really hard. by the way, I'd think the fact that everyone [the characters] is older than normal is just expected,

(I mean, older, as in married older) and goes without saying. And I think 'Be Like That' would be a song depressed people listen too, I do.





Miyako is sitting in a chair, in the apartment she and Ken live in. She looks depressed. Ken goes over to comfort her. She refuses. Ken is confused, but leaves.



(Had a bad day again. She said I would not understand.)



She scribbles down a note, grabs her coat and leaves.



(Left a note that said, 'I'm sorry, I, . . . I had a bad day again.')



It's late. Ken finds the note, reads it, and sighs as he falls into a chair. He sits there for a few moments to reflect on the day.



(She spilled her coffee, broke her shoelace. Smeared the lipstick on her face.)



She never asks for help, he thought, she shuts me out.



(Slammed the door and said, ''I'm sorry I, . . . I had a bad day again.'')



Ken walked in on her, she looked pathetic, sad. 'Be Like that.' by 3 Doors Down echoed in the room. Ken sighed, "Miyako, if you would just let me-"



"I'm fine, Ken."



(And she swears there's nothing wrong. I hear her playing that same old song. She puts me up and puts me on. And had a bad day again.)



Ken started for her, "Miyako, please, let me help."



(She said I would not understand.)



She turned away, started to cry. "Oh, Ken."



(Left a note that said, 'I'm sorry I, . . . I had a bad day again.')





Ken took her in gently into her arms. She's always like this he thought. He turned her chin toward him. "Miyako, please tell me what's wrong. I love you. I want to help you." She grabbed him and sobbed into his shoulder, " I love you to, Ken." Ken didn't understand, and it started to worry him. She's had these mood swings for a while now he thought. We've been married over a year, and, she stills keeps things from me.



(And she swears there's nothing wrong. I hear her playing that same old song. She puts me up and puts me on. And had a again.)



"Ken, I love you . . . I - I'm"



(She said I would not understand.)



"What? Please, tell me."



(She left a note and said 'I'm sorry I, . . . I had a bad day again.')



"I'm going to have baby, Ken. I was too scared to tell you, I thought you'd be angry." She grabbed him and resumed crying.



(She left a note that said, 'I'm sorry I, . . . I had a bad day.)



"What?" he laughed. "Angry? Miyako . . . I love you! I'm happy!." She looked up and slowly smiled. "This is wonderful, Miyako! I love you." He kissed her. "I love you too, Ken."





(Uh-huh, All right.)





*Yay, even the said one's have happy endings! *
