===========================================================================

chapter two

lovers forever face to face

my city your mountain

stay with me stay

"BRRIINNGG!!"

the school bells rang

as the halls crowded with people

and filled with the noises of talking, gossip, music, laughter.

Mimi made her way to the exit

every guy she passed eyed her, whistled, drooled, and groveled at her feet.

even those who already had a girlfriend.

she KNEW she should be flattered right about now

but it didn't show

because she wasn't

all this made her sick to think that all they liked was her body.

the other girls would like that

they all envied her for getting all the attention

and no matter how much she tried

she just cant get rid of them

they comeback like magnets

I need you to love me

I need you today

give to me your leather

take from me my lace

Mimi reached the park

her gentle hand swept the loose dirt off a swing before she sat down

she sighed heavily

half of herself felt depressed

depressed because of the conversation at the dinner table last night

the one about her parents' divorce

depressed because she was leaving everything she knew about America

about New York

all her new friends

to go live with her father in Japan

odaiba,

once more

depressed because she hated her life

of a wuss, a crybaby

yet the other half of herself felt happy

happy because she was returning to her first home

happy because she would be seeing all her old friends again

happy because she would be seeing matt.

and she knew it would bring a smile to her face

a REAL smile

that's something she hasn't done in a long time.

you in the moonlight

with your sleepy eyes

could you ever love a man like me

a warm, strong hand gently gripped her shoulder

her heart jumped and her eyes widened as she looked up

it was her friend

a close friend

Michael

'hey' was the only thing she was able to get out of her mouth

she couldn't bring herself to say anything else under all the emotions that piled up in her chest

she knew he could tell something was the matter even without him saying anything

they knew each other too well

she stared deeply into his charming blue eyes

they looked like HIS...

everything about Michael reminded her of matt

the eyes, the hair, the deep soothing voice

those are the reasons why she ever fell for Michael.

she thought about calling him or emailing him many times before, but didn't

then it hit her.

email...

the image of the email she got before replayed in her mind over and over.

she remembered everything about that haunting message...

"I-I have to go." she told Michael.

"sure"

and you were right

when i walked into your house

you knew id never wanna leave

Mimi reached the front door of her house and frantically searched her purse for the key.

"shit!" she cried to herself when she realized that she didn't have it with her.

frustrated, she climbed the fence to the backyard and spotted the key on the dining table.

"shit..." she repeated.

after a good fifteen minutes of trying to figure out a way to get into her house, she finally succeeded by going through her parents bedroom window.

breathing heavily, she headed to her room and turned on her laptop.

"you've got mail." the AOL voice said once more.

this time there wasn't that much to check.

there it was

just like before

the subject read "Mimi..." and the sender read "Unknown."

frantically, she opened it.

Dear Mimi,

why didn't you reply to me the last time. are you mad at me? look whatever it is, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't say anything to you in time before it was too late. look at me now. if only you knew how I really feel.

i heard you were moving back to Odaiba. good for you, and i hope that when you do, you'll come and visit me.

see you later.

Mimi was shocked once more.

"I don't recall telling anyone that she was moving back to Japan," she said to herself. She added,

"even worse, this guy that was writing to her didn't even sign his name at the end of the message.

not to mention, what did he mean by "before its too late"...?"

"Mimi honey I'm home, you mind helping me with the groceries?!!" she heard her mom call to her at the front door.

"COMING!!!!" she answered, and ran to her aid.

sometimes I'm a stronger man

sometimes cold and scared

and sometimes I cry

Mimi finished packing all her bags.

Her room looked too empty and bare with all her stuff gone.

she took one last look at her house from the outside and one last goodbye to her mother who was drenched in tears.

she sighed and forced a smile as she entered the car that would take her to the airport.

to be continued...
