Tips for reading this story: Most of it is in Mimi's Point of View. There are lots of flashbacks so when you see this: *flashback* It's the start of one when you see this: *end* it's the end of a flashback. When It's in Italic it's a letter and when it's Bold and Italic Mimi's thinking. One thing I think I should tell you is, if you like depressing stories this is your kind.
My dear Matt,
It seems only fair for you to know this:
It's seems only yesterday when we were graduating from highschool together. Going to our new bright futures and in my case not so bright.
*flashback*
"I'm going to art school to be an actress." I said to Matt,
"promise me you'll write?" he asked,
"Of course I will," I mumbled, "Goodbye Matt."
And we hugged each other and went our different ways.
*end*
I am so sorry I didn't write sooner. Maybe you could of stopped me making the bad choices I did. You could of stopped me doing what I did and what I'm about to do. You see, I love you Matt. I left without a care in my mind that day. I studied and practised hard for five years until I hit it big and got lots of money on a movie. I had so much money I didn't know what to do with it. Then I met him.
*flashback*
"Mimi right?" he said as he stretched out his hand at my movie's premiere. I looked up and I saw him for the first time. Tall, dazzlingly tall with sparkling grey eyes and sleek black hair,
"Y-yes," I stuttered as I shook his hand still in awe with his immense beauty,
"Would you like to dance?" he asked with such innocense as he took my hand and led me onto the dance floor.
*end*
He supposedly was an actor from England looking for an actress for his movie. I was so full of my new movie I didn't realise what was happening. I was so young and careless. For that now I will pay. Me and Cedric fell in love. Then it happened.
*flashback*
I was walking down the hall towards his apartment when I heard something inside his room. I leaned on the door and I heard from inside the door,
"Cedric, do you really love her?" said a pouty woman's voice,
"Of course not Fleur, I only want her money. You're the only one for me." said Cedric's voice, "After I marry her she'll have a little accident and I'll have her fortune and we'll get married. You must go now my love."
"Okay." said the woman. She opened the door to find me outside she just walked past me smirking.
"Oh hello Mimi. Perfect timing please come in." he said coldly not sounding like the sweet innocent man he used to be. I walked in timidly and sat down next to him, cold hatred flowing through my body. He knelt down on one knee and said simply,
"Mimi will you marry me?"
"No way you monster! I heard you out side your door you, you, you. . ." I was cut off when he stood up walked over to me and said,
"Okay," I felt pain hit me as he stuck me down, "marry me or die."
*end*
he started to abuse me. Forced me to marry him and he would gain access to my fortune. I was frail and I cried myself to sleep at night. But now I know I should of turned to you. I was frail but not that frail I forced myself to continue acting .I had no choice. I tried to escape but he beated me even harder. When we went to parties I had to act the part of his sweet little girlfriend or I would find myself with even more bruises. It got so bad I had to wear a mask of Makeup to cover the bruises everywhere. The wedding was to be on the 20th of July. It came way to fast.
*flashback*
"I do." Cedric said,
"Do you take this man to be your lawful wedded husband?" asked the priest.
"I-I," I started. Every part of me wanted to say do not want this evil man for my husband. I look over to him and I got scared. I got scared of him and Fleur, "do." After I said it I ran over to the lake crying harder than I ever cried. I looked into my reflection and I saw. . . I saw not the person I used to be. Before I was a crybaby spoiled brat. Now I'm a frail nothing. I'm a frail nothing and I was am and will always be one. No one listened to me then. Now I see the mask that I wear to fool the world is washing off from my tears. I don't know if I was hallucinating but I saw Matt in the reflection over me and protecting me. I have to stop this. I knew what I had to do.
*end*
After the wedding, I came home and while Cedric slept I wrote this letter. This is what you have to do. All of my live's worth in cash is in this envelope so that my "husband" wont get it when I die. They are going to kill me any ways. Two weeks from now, a big fancy party will be at Odaiba hall for my Birthday. At 10.00 PM I will go outside and kill myself. You must call the police and tell them to come and arrest Cedric and you keep my cash. I'm sorry I didn't write sooner.
Best Friends Forever,
Mimi
After Mimi wrote the letter she snuck out and mailed it.
Two weeks later.
"Happy Birthday!" they called as I walked in. I greeted everyone with a big smile on my face. There were no smiles on theirs because they could see my bruises. I did not were makeup that night. At 10.00 I went around back, gun in hand. I raised it to my head when I felt a pair of strong arms circle around my body,
"You can't do this." said a voice behind me. But it wasn't the cold voice of Cedric. I turn around to see a man with blond hair and blue eyes,
"Matt? I can't believe it." I said,
"You can't do this." he said again,
"Why not? Can't you see I'm suffering?" I asked,
"Because you are my best friend." he said simply. I leaned into his strong arms and I started to cry,
"It's all right Mimi. Shh," he said putting my hair behind my ears, "He won't hurt you anymore."
"How do I know?" I asked,
"When I read your letter it hurt me so. To know that you were hurting and the way you felt."
"What do you mean?" I asked. I looked up at him into his blue eyes I lean in to kiss him but he turned away.
"Why do you turn away? Can't you see we love each other?" I asked disbelievingly,
"I can't, I just can't." he muttered.
"Matt I love you!" I called. I reached and pulled him closer. He pushed me away,
"Mimi, I love someone else."
BANG
Reflection
Look at me
You may think you see who I really am
But you'll never know me
Everyday It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
Who is that girl I see
staring strait back at me
when will my reflection show
who I am inside
I am now
in a world
where I have to hide my heart
and what I believe in
but some how
I will show the world
what's inside my heart
and be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see
staring strait back at me
why is my reflection
someone I don't know
Must I pretend that I'm
someone else for all time
when will my reflection show
who I am inside
There's a heart
that must be free to rely
that burns with a need to know
the reason why
Why must we all conceal
what we think how we feel
must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide
I won't pretend that I'm
someone else for all time
when will my reflection show
who I am inside
when will my reflection show who I am inside
