CHAPTER TWO
"Come in" I heard Mimi say so low it was almost a
whisper.
"Maybe it's best if just you go in Sora" Tk said to me.
"K" I said back to him wanting to know what was
happening.
I walked into the room and saw my best friend lying on Matt's bed
bruised and beaten. I cried.
"What happened to you" she sobbed into her arms.
"Tommy beat mebut it's not his fault I talked to
much" I told her.
"What do you mean not his fault no one has the right to do
that" she told me
She can't be right, can she? No she can't Tommy said I talked too
much so that must be it.
"I brought you some cloths" she whispered to me.
Why did I think of that I wondered? If Tommy said so then it must
be true I told myself.
"Are you ok Sora" I asked see that she was still
crying.
"Damn it Mimi, don't worry about how I feel. How do you
feel" Sora said to me as she wiped away the last of her
tears.
"What do you mean how I feel, I feel fine I'm just a little
banged up. Other then that everything is fine" I told her
try to reassure her, and me.
"A LITTLE, if I know that you wouldn't die trying to stop me
I would take you to the hospital right now Mimi. And what about
the fact that your boyfriend is an abusive creep who tried
hitting on me and who knows how many other's" she told
me sternly.
When I heard her words it was like I realized everything bad
about Tommy.
"He is a creep isn't he" I asked her.
"Yeah he is" she told me.
"Matt, you are the single most perverted Metal Gear Solid
player in the world" Joe said to me.
"Shut up I almost have Metal Gear Beat," I said as I
leant over never taking my hands of the controller or an eye of
the screen to sip my slush to realize it was empty.
"I'm just saying you remind me of that Ron Jeremy film we
saw at Tai's 18th birthday party" he said as he got up to go
to the kitchen. "WHERE ARE THE
CHEETOS?" he yelled once he got there.
"Right beside you" I called back.
"WHERES THE MOUNTAIN DUE"
"In the fridge, duh" I yelled. Then I died. Damn.
"DAMNIT JOE YOU MADE ME DIE,
YOU SUCK DUDE".
As Joe came into the room he threw me a Mountain Due.
"Why do I take this verbal abuse from you" he asked me.
"Cause ya love me" I said flashing a goofy grin.
"Ya but you love Mimi" he said in that long drawn out
voice.
"At least I'm not afraid of girls" I said in the same
voice.
"That's it I don't need to take this kinda abuse. I'm outa
here" he told me as he walked out the front door.
"Now that that distraction is gone you die Liquid
Snake" I said slowly
"Why" I asked. When you hear your boyfriends voice the
way Tk's sounded you get a little worried. "Is everyone
alright".
"Yes and no, it's hard to explain over the phone. Jut please
get over hereplease" he said then hung up on me.
Needless to say I was out the door in my car and at his place in
record time. I got there just as Joe got there.
"Did Tk call you two" he questioned me.
"Yeah he sounded worried. He told me to bring some of my
medical supplies. We have all sorts at our place what with my dad
being a doctor" Joe said lifting up a bag to show her. I
knocked on the door and Sora anserwed. It was obvious she had
been crying.
"Oh Kari" she sobbed as she fell into my arms. "He
hurt her he hurt her so much".
I gently pushed her into Joe's arms and walked into the house
where I saw Tk and Izzy sitting and looking off into space.
"What's wrong Tk. You tell me and Joe to get over here asap
only to find Sora sobbing her eyes out and you and Izzy doing
nothing" I said feeling just a touch on the worried side.
"Matt's room" he said. I swear I saw a tear form in his
eye as I left to Matt's room.
I walked slowly. I'm not sure why I wanted to see what had
everyone so upsetdidn't I. As I came to the door I knocked
on it timidly. "Come in" a very tired sounding voice
called.
I opened the door slowly. Soon my eyes adjusted to the dark.
"Mimi" I sobbed.
"Where does it hurt?" I asked softly as I bent down
next to her.
"Everywhere, aren't you going to ask what happened and if
I'm ok" she asked.
"Well I already know what happened so I figured you didn't
want to go into it, and It's obvious that you're far from
ok" I said trying to keep up my professional voice and not
give her the big hug I think she needed.
"Mimi when I ask you this it's as a professional. Please
take off your shirt" I gulped BIG.
"Oh that its just a scratch" she said as she removed
her shirt.
"That's a scratch that'll need 5 stitches" I told her
as I looked at it closely.
I started to rummage through my bag.
"I didn't bring anything to freeze the tissue with so you
might want to bite down on this" I told her as I handed her
my pen.
"Do you have to do this" she asked.
"I could do this and you could have a little scar that will
fade almost completely in 10 years. Or I could put a band-aid on
it and you'll have a big scar for the rest of your life. It's up
to you" I told her still trying to sound professional.
"Ok" she gulped. Then she bit down on the pen.
Then I started the stitches. If I were a real doctor and had had
something to freeze the tissue with she would have hardly felt it
and I'd be done in all of 10 minutes. I didn't however. So she
felt every little bit of what I was doing and it took 45 minutes
and 4 of my pens. When I was finished she was also crying pretty
hard.
"Your favorite ice cream is strawberry right Mimi," I
asked in my professional tone again.
"Yes" she heaved.
Matt's room and brushed Sora aside. I gave Mimi the ice cream
cone and the biggest hardest hug I could with out hurting her. I
made a note to never use a professional doctor tone ever again.
"HelloAny body home" I called. I thought I heard
some stuff like "oh crap Tai's going to go ballistic"
but I couldn't be sure. I walked into the living room and saw
Joe, Izzy, Sora and Tk sitting around trying to act like nothing
was going
on, the also looked very upset and it even looked like Sora and
Joe had been crying.
"No nothing's wrong, why would you think something's wrong
when nothings wrong"
Izzy stumbled to me. Then I heard the door to Matt's room close.
I glanced around the room then walked over to the door to Matt's
room. I opened it quickly and stepped inside. I saw Kari sitting
their holding Mimi's hand. Mimi looked like a truck had hit her.
But her eyes are what really got to me; Mimi's eyes always looked
so warm and alive. Now they looked like a cold hungry animals
eyes, not a human beings.
"Who did this Kari?" I asked trying to contain my rage.
"Tommy did it but its not as bad as" Mimi began
to say.
"THAT FUCK IS DEAD" I yelled at the top of my lungs as
I ran out of the house and jumped into my car.
Sorry it took so long and sorry that its crappy.
