The Street
_ _ _
Mimi crossed the street quickly, her jacket
over her head to protect her from the heavy rainfall that had just begun, she
was coming around the corner of his block whenever she bumped into a dark
figure; the force sent her falling to the ground.
"Sorry." The person muttered, offering his hand
to help her up.
"It's okay." Mimi took the person's hand and
tried to look closer at the stranger through the rain in the dim street light,
"Matt, that you?"
"Yeah it's me." His voice was vacant.
"Matt, is that blood? What did you do to
yourself? You okay…?"
Matt interrupted her, "Mimi, take my advice."
he said without looking at her face. "Get a new boyfriend." Then he walked off
into the shadows.
Mimi looked down at her hand, the one he had
took to help her to her feet, it was covered in blood. "Tai!!!!" Mimi said to
herself as she realized something must have happened.
She ran as fast as she could until she reached
Tai's apartment, she pushed open the already half open door, "Tai??!!" she
shouted this time.
Tai rose from where he was sitting and walked
over to her "Mimi…"
When Mimi first looked at him she felt tears
welling up in her eyes, she felt like it was all her fault, but she didn't know
why. She put her arms round him gently so she wouldn't hurt him and he hugged
her gently back. "Tai…did Matt do this to you?"
Tai didn't say anything.
"Come on," Mimi said softly, "lets get you
cleaned up."

Matt's apartment
_ _ _
When Matt got home to his apartment the rain
had washed away most of the blood on his face. He lay back on his bed and
placed his hand against his partly swollen cheek, "Right now," he
thought, "That bastard is probably getting looked after by Mimi, he doesn't
deserve her, he doesn't deserve anybody. I think its time Mimi knew the truth
too." He closed his eyes but he
couldn't sleep.

Tai's apartment

"How you feeling Tai?" Mimi looked down at Tai
lying in his bed.
"I'm fine, really." He smiled. "What time is
it?"
"Almost 11:30pm." Mimi sat down on the side of
his bed and sighed,
"So are you going to tell me what that was all
about?"
Tai got out of his bed and walked over to the
window, "To be honest Mimi…I don't really know."
"What do you mean, 'you don't really know'?"
Mimi walked over to him and placed her hand on his shoulder.
Tai turned to face her and put his arms round
her waist.
She gave him a concerned look, "Tai, we gotta
get this sorted out, why would Matt do that to you?"
"I told you already, I don't know."
"Well, I'm gonna have to go find out then."
Mimi broke free of his hold of her and walked out of the apartment.
Tai sighed and lay back down on his bed…

Matt's apartment
_ _ _
"ARE YOU CRAZY??!!" Mimi stormed into Matt's
apartment, she found him sitting at the table staring into space, not even her
abrupt entry shook him from his trance. By the look of him she could see that
he hadn't got off easily either after the fight.
She stood watching him with her hands on her
hips, "Matt?"
He turned his gaze towards her and stared deep
into her eyes, usually Mimi was the only person who could tell what Matt was
thinking but for that brief moment she was lost, lost in those big blue eyes.
She mentally shook herself and felt the anger inside her rise again but not as
much so now.
Finally he spoke, "Sit down for a sec Mimi"
Mimi, slightly confused, obediently did as he
said. "Matt, what is it?"
Matt's face was a deadly pale color; his
usually sleek hair was dull and ruffled. "It's all been a lie Mimi…"
"What Matt? What are you talking to me about?
What lie?" Mimi desperately tried to find something that would stop the
confusion racing through her mind.
Matt got up from his place and walked over to
nearest the window. The rain patting hard against the pane of glass, he could
see his reflection on the glass and Mimi's, she was standing behind him.
"Please Matt, tell me what's happened." She
whispered, her voice weak.
"Tai and Sora." Matt swallowed a lump in his
throat.
"What about them???" Mimi felt tears welling up
in her eyes, she knew something must've happened between them, but had to ask
just to make sure.
"Mimi,
they've been stringing us along…" Matt said with pure hatred in his voice.
Mimi
began to shake, "No, I don't believe you." Mimi walked towards the door,
"Taichi would never do that…" Mimi wiped her eyes but it was no use, the tears
wouldn't stop.
Matt
walked over to her and wrapped his arms round her small, shaking body. She
buried her head in his chest and cried, it felt good to hold someone close to
him again, especially Mimi, she knew exactly what he was going through. He
rested his chin on the top of her head and let her cry. He couldn't cry so he
just held her and closed his eyes…
