"Excuse me, may I have a drink please?" Mimi's sweet voice asked the stewardess. Mimi was going back home for a visit to see everyone she missed everyone so muchmostly Matt. She shook her head lightly. Stop it! Stop thinking about this guy! God! He doesn't even like you! She went through her purse to forget about Matt for a while, if that was ever possible. A tall lady sat down beside her and nudged her hand and her purse fell to the plane floor. "Oh I am so sorry" The woman started to help her pick up her belongings. "It's okay" Mimi smiled. After they cleaned up the woman handed her a picture of Matt that she dropped along with her stuff. "Oh! Thanks" Mimi said as she reached for her picture. "Your boyfriend?" The lady inquired. Mimi stared at the lady as if he spoke another language. She snapped out of it. "Oh no! Just a friend" Mimi quietly said. The lady smiled as if she knew something Mimi didn't. "Go for him! He's cute." The lady told her. Mimi smiled. I wish it was that easy.
Beep Beep Matt looked down at his pager. It read: Matt! I need a rideI am at the airport. - Mimi. Matt stood up looking at his pager. What?! She is here? Matt didn't give it a second thought he grabbed his keys and his black jacket and closed his apartment door. He took long strides and finally reached his car in the parking lot. "Matt!" an all to familiar voice called out. It was Jun. Matt spun around and came face to face with the girl that has been obsessing about him since the beginning of time. "Jun, I don't have time to talk right now okay?" Mat turned back to his car. "Wait! Where are you going? Wanna go out sometime?" Jun kept on rambling on and on. Matt was already in the car. Jun opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. Matt didn't even care. Matt drove over the speed limit and dropped of a rambling Jun to her house and then went straight to the airport. He parked then went inside. He looked for her plane stop. Mimi saw him and her eyes lit up with tears. She ran to him and he did the same. They embraced and let her tears fall. After they let go she wiped his shoulder with her hand. "Sorry, I got your shirt all wet" She laughed. "No problem," Matt picked up her bags and they both started walking.
"So how is America? How is school there?" Matt asked as he opened the car door for her. "Oh school okay I guess." She smiled. "How come you didn't tell anyone you were coming?" Matt asked. "Oh it was supposed to be a surpriseand then I had no ride, soSurprise!!" She laughed. Matt smiled and started the car. They drove and talked the whole way to Sora's house. They got to the university dorms and went to Sora's room. Knock Knock Matt rapped on the door. The door opened and popped out Tai. "Tai?" Matt asked. "Oh hey MattSora! Matt's here!" Then Sora's head popped up behind Tai's. "Oh hey!!" Sora said as she held the popcorn. "Come in!" Sora said. "Oh I have a surprise for youboth" Matt started. Then he pulled Mimi to his side. "MIMI!" Both of them squealed. Sora dropped the popcorn and gave Mimi a long hug and pulled her inside the dorm.
Matt and Mimi dropped of her bags at Sora and kind of guessed that Tai and Sora were having some sort of a date so Matt decided to take Mimi out. They went to an Italian restaurant because Mimi was starving. They sat down and talked about their lives. A slow song started and the lights went dim. "Hey you want to dance?" A handsome guy asked Mimi from behind. She spun around. "Oh if that is okay with your date of course" He continued. "Matt will that be okay?" Mimi looked at him. "Have fun!" Matt answered. They went out to dance. Matt spent his time looking at Mimi. What am I doing?! He tried to focus on his water. It's just Mimi, a friend! Matt couldn't stop looking at her. How she smiled and blushed when she danced. How her white dress flowed with her while she moved. Then the song ended. She sat back down. "Sorry, for leaving you here!" She smiled and gulped down water. "No problem you looked great out there" he said calmly. She flushed at his compliment. Then their food came. They ate in silence occasionally looking at each other. After they ate they sat talking. "Come with me" Mimi said. "Where?" Matt asked as she pulled him out of his seat. Then they both went on the dance floor. "Oh so you want to dance with me huh?" Matt winked as he placed his arms around her waist. YES!! Mimi screamed inside but answered "Oh so you don't want to dance with me Matt?" She joked a couple inches away from his face. He laughed and brushed away a stray pink hair from her forehead.
The song ended and they both got their belongings and headed for the car. They drove back to sora's and it was pass midnight. They stood awkwardly at her door. "Thanks for taking me out." She gave him a hug. Matt leaned closer, stepped a couple inches from her lips and quickly pecked her on the cheek. "Good Night" Matt said as he walked to the elevator. Mimi opened the door and closed it behind her. Sora was asleep on Tai's shoulder and his arm was over her shoulder. They both were sleeping and so in love, Mimi walked over and shut the T.V off and went to her room as quietly as possible. I wish I have what they have.
Matt was going to open the car door and saw in the window of the building Mimi's silhouette tying her hair. He went into his car when she left the window. He drove and couldn't think about anything else but the dinner. How she smiled. She doesn't like you! Such an amazing girl like that can choose hundreds of guys he told himself. Then he went back home.
Mimi sat on her bed and she heard Tai and Sora waking up. Then she heard Tai getting his stuff. The door opened and then Tai whispered something that sounded like "I'll see you tomorrow okay?" Then they kissed. "Nite!" Sora whispered and closed the door. Sora walked to the bathroom and noticed the light was still on in Mimi's room. "Mimi?" She asked opening the door "Yeah?" Mimi said sitting on her bed. "Still awake? When did you come home?" Sora asked. "I came home quite some time now" Mimi answered. Sora flushed at the thought of Mimi seeing the little sleeping scene. "How was dinner?" Sora asked. "Oh it was good." Mimi said thinking of Matt. "That's goodsee you tomorrow ok?" Sora said and closed the door shut. "Nite"
Three Days Later // Tai's Party
Everyone was at Tai's party. Jun invited herself and was clinging to Matt. The lights dimmed and slow music filled the room. Everyone paired up. Matt was taken by Jun and she was all alone. He separated with Jun to look for someone and then he danced with a beautiful blonde. Mimi's heart was smashed when he didn't look for her and instead found a pretty girl. She turned around to the punch table and took a long breath then turned back to face them again. Her heart stopped for a matter of seconds when she saw Matt and Kelly kissing. Tears welled up in her eyes, Matt broke the kiss and looked flushed, he turned and saw Mimi standing in disbelief. Mimi wiped the tears away and held her hand to her mouth to stop the sobs and ran out of the house.
Mimi ran out to the darkness, incapable to hold her tears and sob in. She Ran as far as she could go and fell to the ground sobs raking her body. She held her face to her hands and cried all the hurt out. "Mimi!" Matt called after her. She turned back and heard him. She made an effort to stand up and started to run away. I don't want him to see me like this. She ran through he forest to the river lit up by the moon. Someone grabbed her arm behind he spun her around, she smashed up against his built chest. She kept her head low and looked at her heels. "What's wrong?" He asked softly not letting go of his grip. She didn't answer him. "Mimi?" He asked again. Still no answer. A tear rolled down her cheek and onto his shoe. He noticed and pulled her close to him. "What's wrong?" He asked holding her head. All of a sudden she pulled away. She pushed him away from her. "You!" She said.
Matt looked at a distraught Mimi. Her eyes were red from crying her voice cracked of her sobs. "What?" He said confused. "It's you! You are what's wrong!" She sobbed and crossed her arms protectively around her. "You-you are my problemI wait everyday at home for a word from you! I wait endlessly looking for an e-mail, waiting for a phone call *sob* but nothingevery moment in my day is only devoted to you! Every minute of my existence is devoted to thinking of you, I dream about it, wish for it, strive for it *sob* yet nothing. You know how painful it is? Thinking of a happy ending that won't happen? Thinking of you with another girl?" She sobbed and couldn't continue to talk. She ran off leaving a shocked Matt alone.
He looked down on the ground and saw something glimmering in the sand. He went and picked it up. My God it was a cereal box necklace he gave Mimi when he was younger. He smiled at the flashback. They were eating cereal in the digiworld. She was complaining how perfect her home was and how it sucked to be in the digiworld. Then he gave her the necklace so she'd feel like a princess. She smiled and thanked him. She shook his head and looked at the necklace. I can't believe she still has this.
Matt drove his car as fast as he could to Sora's place. He banged on the door and sora opened it. She had sadness in her eyes. "What it?" He started to worry. Her shaky hand handed him a letter. He took it and read a letter left by Mimi.
Dear Sora,
I am sorry for leaving without saying good bye. I can't stay here anymore. I can't face Matt anymore; it's not the same. I fell in love with a guy that doesn't like meI am sorry Sora. I know I should have said something but I couldn't stay and see the site of Matt kissing some other girl again. I can't take that pain that hurt anymore. After last night at the party I knew deep down I love this guy and when I saw him, my state of mind crashed as well as my heart. I am sorry if my writing is messy I am shaking. Sora, I saw you and Tai and I wanted that, that bond you guys have. I wanted that for me unfortunately I don't have it and staying here will only make matters worse. It's scary how love can decide things for you and right now it is deciding for me to leave. I don't think I am coming backI think this will be the last time I will see you again. Sora I want you to know that you are one of my very best friends and it will always stay that way. But leaving is something I have to do.
Your best friend, Mimi
P.S: Please just tell Matt I left because of school, I don't need him to feel sorry for me, I am lonely as it is.
Matt held the paper tight clenching it with all his soul. He dropped the letter and raced out of the door not saying a word.
"Hi sir" Mimi said in a light tone. A clerk looked up "yes miss, how may I help you?" He asked. She went through her black Gucci shoulder bag and gave him her ticket. "Miss, this ticket is to be used in three weeks," The clerk said confused. "I know, I would like to change my flight for today." She explained. "Ohokay miss that will be a fee of 25.00 and a 20 minute wait." he said with a smile. She gave him the money and started to walk away. "Miss!" The clerk called her back. "You dropped a picture of your boyfriend," He said as he gave her the picture. She looked at it; it was mat's picture. She didn't smile and walked away.
Matt drove his black car as fast as he could to the airport. He ran through stop signs, red lights, everything. He just wanted to get to her before it was to late.
"Miss Mimi?" The clerk called to her. Mimi stood up and dusted of her dark blue jeans. She reached for the ticket and smiled and said her thank you. "Running away from something?" He joked and said good bye. Yeah that's exactly it She thought to herself. "Fight to America 365, all passengers please board at gate 5" the speaker said. She stood up and took her bags. She looked back and saw no one to see her off. Good Bye MattA tear rolled of her cheek. She wiped it away and walked, her boot heels clicking against the floor.
Matt parked his car and ran to the airport. He flung the glass doors and barged in. He moved through the crowds, hitting people by accident. "Mimi, please wait" He whispered. He checked the flights but couldn't find it so he ran to a clerk nearby. "Excuse me" He rushed. "Yes?" The clerk looked at him in a funny manner. "Which flight is to America?" Matt asked. "There are three, But if you are looking for Mimi sir, she left about 10 minutes ago" He smiled. "How do you know I am looking for Mimi?" Matt questioned. "Oh she dropped your pictureyou are her boyfriend right? Mimi was the girl who was wearing a black shirt, denim jeans, black boots and a Grey overcoat right? Are we talking about the same Mimi?" The clerk asked. "Yes we are" Before he could finish Matt rann off.
"May I have some alcohol please?" She was desperate to forget everything. They lady handed her a miniature bottle of whiskey. "Thanks" Mimi said as she gulped down the drink. She went through her purse to find her lipstick; she re-applied it about 5 times. She had to do something to distract herself. She found the picture of her and Matt. She gripped the picture as if she wouldn't be able to live without it. She stood up abruptly and ran to the door. "I have to get off!! Excuse me! Please don't close the door! Excuse me" she pushed through people. The stewardess tried to calm her down but she rushed by her. She ran out of the terminal.
Matt reached the gate. The door was shut. He looked out to the large glass windows. He saw the plane slowly moving to the runway. "NO!" He yelled hitting the glass. He sunk to the floor and didn't care who saw him. "No" He softly whispered again. "Mimi" He held his face in despair. "Matt?" A choked sob whispered behind him. He slowly stood up thinking he is hearing voices. He slowly turned around to see Mimi standing before him her face was red and her hand gripped something. They stood looking at each other, not knowing what to do. She dropped her bags and ran toward him. "Matt!" She sobbed. He ran toward her until they collided, embracing each other, not wanting to let go. "Mimi! I thought you leftI didn't want you to leave"Matt held her as she sobbed on his shoulder. "I couldn't leave, knowing that I will never see you again kills me. I'd rather see you with someone then not seeing you at all"She cried as she confessed. "I don't want to be with any other person but you Mimi" Now they both caught the attention of most people around them. "I love you Mimi" He said not caring what people thought.
