I finally fixed my account~! @_@ How annoying was that -_- Mmkay, to the anonymous person that reviewed that Role-play site-I would've been fine with a simple review .…-.o But I took your advice and joined it n.n And thanks to everyone that reviewed~! ^o^ I so love you guys ^^ and I know, Matt's being a jerk and all…but it's all part of the plot but I promise he'll soften up a TINY bit in this chapter…. Ahem, bit of Mimato fluffiness! ^__^ On with the chapter…
---*---
Mimi walked leisurely along the schools' halls on her way to her locker. It was Monday morning and she was not her usual peppy mood (Got the days messed up x.o Their concert was on Saturday, they had rehearsal on Sunday and now it's Monday) She mindlessly bumped against objects, lockers, water fountains, and trash cans. Everyone crowded around her that morning, they must've loved at her at the concert, she was a huge hit and was not more popular than she was before, if possible. Boys piled on top of each other to get to ask Mimi out for a date to the dance Friday night, she ignored them, all of them and ran to her locker where she slammed her head repeatedly.
"Bruise much?" came a soft giggle behind her. It was Sora, she hugged her books tighter and smiled widely at her best friend. "So, how's my big rock star doing?"
Mimi slightly turned her head still leaning against the dented metal, "Don't even joke about it, Sora."
"Nani? Daijibou? Did you not enjoy Friday night's concert?"
"Hai, that's the practically the best part of my weekend," she replied and sighed, "Oh, Sora-chan. I love being around the guys and actually being famous and all, but, the life of I've been dreaming of isn't exactly how I thought it'd be."
"Why not? Are Tai and the others being jerks? I swear I'd-"
"No, it's not that, really!" Mimi assured, "Tai and the others, the concert, the fame, all of it are sugoi! It's just that-I can't really say the same for Yamato."
They walked to class together in deep conversation. The moment she stepped in the classroom, Mimi was greeted by a burst of applause and everyone kept congratulating her about her huge break and stuff, Miyako and Kari the most.
"Mimi-chan! Baka, how can you not tell us about this?!" Miyako fumed.
"Chill, Miyako," Kari said, "Mimi, this is great! You're so lucky you made it to Tenshi Tsubasa. This doesn't mean you won't be hanging around us commoners now, would it?"
"Nani?! Of course not, Hikari-san!" Mimi smiled, "I'm still the same Mimi, I'll never ditch you guys!"
Lunch. Mimi, Sora, Miyako, and Kari walked down to the gardens to have lunch together under a Sakura tree by the gardens. They chatted about the upcoming dance.
"…I don't think so, Kari," Sora said. "I'm-alreadygoingtothedancewithsomeoneelse-"she lowered her head and hastily bit her sandwich.
"Oh, no, Sora! Don't you dare tell me you're going out with someone and start stuffing yourself! Who is he?!" Miyako stood up and forced it out of Sora.
Mimi caught Sora's distressed look and figured out who it was and stood up with Miyako, "TAI KAMIYA!" she blurted but covered her mouth after she did so, "Gomen ne!!" Sora gasped and so did the two girls.
"Taichi Kamiya, of Tenshi Tsubasa?!" Kari asked, "Get out! Why didn't you say anything?"
"Because," Sora choked, "Because of this. See how crazy you're going when you found out? Tai didn't want me to tell anyone since he knows that everyone'll just hassle me and try to bribe me to ask if I could take them to the band."
Miyako sat down, "Sora-chan! Gomen, you know I would never do that. You're my friend and I'd never take advantage of you!" she grinned, "Besides, Tai's not really the one I'm after. I'm more of a fan of Michael." She flushed.
"Michael?" Kari said skeptically, "Iie, Takeru's the kawaii one…" she said all starry-eyed. Sora burst out laughing.
"You-guys!" she squeezed through the hysterical giggles, "I-can't-believe how you're-taking this!" she laughed and almost fell back.
"And what's that suppose to mean?" Miyako crossed her arms, "And Michael is the kawaii one, Arigato Gozaimasu!"
Kari giggled, "Hey, Sora, you think well-not to be one of those people, that maybe we could-"
"Anything for my friends-besides, we already know the bands' lead singer," Sora smiled.
Mimi snapped back to reality, "Ah, heh…Hai, that's me!"
"Mimi-chan!"
Mimi turned her head around to be greeted by two arms circling around her and twirling her around. She blinked, "Michael? What are you doing here?"
Michael blushed and scratched his head, "Gomen, I know I should've asked you before coming here and surprising you like this! We all had a day off and my tutor and I finished early so I decided to just come and see what you're up to…You mad?"
"'Course not!" Mimi smiled, "I'm glad you're here!"
"Sugoi!" he beamed, "See you made it through first day at school being famous! Man could those girls rip an arm, took me forever to find you!" he rubbed his sore arm.
Mimi giggled and then noticed her three friends staring awkwardly, "Michael!-you have to meet my friends!" she turned him around to face everyone. She pointed to Kari, "My almost twin-sister, Kari Yagami," she pointed to the skinny tomato, "And that's Miyako Inoue-"
"Big fan!" Miyako jumped and shook his hand, never letting go, "Michael-kun, you are the coolest guitarist ever and I just love that article you wrote about yourself at Teen Magazine, Spring 1999-and I'm making a huge fool out of myself so I'll-just be over there" she pointed to a corner and sat down.
Michael laughed, "Nice to meet you too. Sora!"
"Hey, Michael." She smiled sweetly, "No offense, but, how come Tai isn't here?" she asked.
"Oh, they had other plans. Tai's still with his tutor, Takeru's goofing off at the mall and Matt's somewhere investing on highly-sophisticated stallion races where he bets half his money on a high-speed steed that wins about every round for him and thus coming home with twice more money than he had before." Mimi, Sora, and Kari stared weirdly at Michael.
"Right…" Kari said.
Mimi crossed her arms, "Are you kidding me? Matt's actually out spending his day off at a place where they force some horses to run just because of money?" The nerve of that Ishida! Mimi thought.
Michael chuckled, "Iie, just kidding." Mimi sighed, "I don't know where he is but he's probably making some money or something." He hesitated. "Hey, Mimi, I was just wondering-what you're doing this Friday…ahem." He cleared his throat and looked away.
Mimi blinked, "Well, there's this dance at our school this Friday-hey, maybe you'd like to come!" she beamed and Miyako's face lit up.
"Light bulb!" she ran over to Mimi and the others, "Hey, what if all of you guys come to the dance-I swear it'll be performance free! It'll liven up the party if Tenshi Tsubasa comes! Onegai?!" she pleaded to Michael.
"Not a bad idea," Sora commented, "That way I can finally go out on a normal dance with my boyfriend! Besides, Tai loves these kind of stuff."
Michael looked back at Miyako, then at Mimi, then at Sora and Kari, he shrugged, "Well, don't see why not," Miyako shrieked, "I'm sure the guys'll love to come!"
--------*-*--------
"Come where?" Takeru asked.
Michael grinned nervously, "To a high school dance-Mimi's school! C'mon guys, Tai! You could finally have a normal date with Sora without being bothered, Takeru's got loads of fans down there and Mimi's already got someone in mind for your date and Matt-"
"Iie, I'm not going to some juvenile dance especially if it's ran by Mimi." He coldly said.
"Cool it, Matt!" Takeru said, "It's sounds like a great idea! So what if it's Mimi's school? C'mon Onegai, come! It might turn out to be fun, better than staying at the hotel all by yourself."
Matt sat in silence for a while, A part of me really wants to go, though I don't know why. Matt fought with himself, I know I was hard on Mimi, but I have to I can't-I mean, if this is the only way I can make it up to her for the other night then I might as well go…Arrgh, is she going to rub this in my face. Matt sighed and then stood up and headed towards the bathroom, "Fine."
"Great! I'll call, Mimi!" Michael's face lit up as he rushed to the phone of their hotel room. Matt grunted, Whatever.
--------*-*--------
"Wow! Look at this place!" Mimi commented as she skipped around on the street in front of the gym that was elaborately decorated with streamers, glitter, and such. Mimi and Sora were waiting across the street for Tai and the others to arrive. Mimi's face was filled with utter bliss and excitement, not to mention glitter. She had on a light brown skirt that went down just above her knees, a pink halter top that tied around her neck and having the long strings laying on her bare back, she also had a silver, hoped belly-chain loosely hanging around her waist. Her long brown hair was sprayed lightly with hair glitter and had two strands in front tied back behind her head with a red ribbon, leaving two strands to frame her sparkling face.
"Hai, you did a great job decorating this place, Mimi-chan," Sora commented and gazed around her, seeing the teenagers that were walking in the building and around the streets. She had on a dark green turtle neck that had no sleeves and had a wool-like fabric that sagged around and under the neck piece. A separate long skirt that went straight down to her matching high-heeled shoes. On her hair she wore tiny star pins awkwardly pinning her frame back. She stomped her foot, "Arrgh, where is that Tai Kamiya?"
"Don't worry, Sora. I'm sure they'll be here soon, they aren't coming in a limo, are they?" she asked with a hint of concern, "Cause the guys inside will be swarming around them."
"Nah, I don't think they are. Besides, someone already spread the rumor about them coming, and the principal warned everyone not to harass our guests since they're only here to have a good time!" Sora smiled.
"And a good time we shall have!" Sora spun around.
"Tai!" she hugged him and planted a kiss on his cheek, "Where have you been you're late!"
"Sora," Takeru came up behind Tai, "It's only been, five minutes." Mimi thought that they all didn't look half bad in their black tuxes and shirts that totally matched them; Tai with green to match Sora's, Takeru's a light yellow, Michael gray, while Matt-
"Where's Matt?" Mimi asked innocently.
"Right here, Your Highness."
Mimi felt her cheeks turn red as she saw Matt come up behind her, hands in his pockets, of course. He looked at Mimi for a while, which made her turn even redder, he has that look in his eyes again-she thought, Oiy vey…what'd I ever do to get him so ticked off at me? But-he looks SO kawaii in black and blue! She smiled to herself.
"Mimi-chan, you look kawaii!" Takeru remarked, "So, where's the date you promised me?" he grinned sheepishly and laughed.
"Oh!" Mimi exclaimed and grabbed Takeru's arm and dragged him off, she called back to the others and turned her head, "Well?! Aren't you guys coming?" she smiled and dragged Takeru inside. Tai hooked his arm around Sora's and they both proudly walked inside to have a normal night together. Just the two of them, in a normal high-school dance.
Michael and Matt walked beside each other, Michael chatting away at how great everything looked-including Mimi. Matt stiffened, Nani? Why is it what Michael saying making me feel so…weird? Jealousy? Iie, never. It's Mimi for crying out loud! He kept his hands in his pockets and followed Michael, Takeru, and Mimi inside. Everyone went silent the moment they stepped in, Not again, Tai thought as he and Sora took their leave from the group and went around the gym. Mimi shot everyone a glare.
"C'mon, not like you haven't seen these guys before." She sarcastically said with a hint of annoyance, everyone let out a small laugh and cheered for the band before leaving them in peace and going back to the party. Matt walked beside Mimi.
"You're good," he commented and watched everyone.
Mimi shrugged, "Being queen of the school has its advantages." She said jokingly and Matt couldn't help but chuckle. Mimi tugged Takeru who was busy flirting with some juniors, "C'mon, TK. They weren't exactly the people I had in mind."
"I'll be right-whoa!" Takeru whined as Mimi hauled him across the floor, "No! I almost got their numbers-girls! Wait for me!"
"Oh, be quiet, Takeru-kun." When she stopped Takeru pulled away.
"That wasn't nice," he said, "You totally pulled me away from-wow…" he stood in front of beautiful Kari that waited for him by the table. She flushed at what he said and smiled sweetly.
"Takeru, wow, it's so great to see you in person!" she exclaimed.
"Likewise." Takeru choked. Mimi giggled.
"Well, cupid has down her magic." She slapped Takeru on the back, "You're Welcome, TK. Have fun guys!" (Okay, so the Takari went a bit too fast, but, I'm tired! @_@)
After a moment of walking around back and forth, being hassled by boys to dance, getting into long-time conversations with her friends, Mimi finally spotted Matt and Michael barricaded around a swarm of girls, including chaperones. Mimi laughed to herself, Matt looks like he's about to faint, though Michael seems to be loving it. She walked over to them trying not to be noticed-no luck. Michael waved his arm, making Matt notice too.
"Mimi, hey!" Mimi slightly waved her hand and approached the two. Michael pulled Matt along with him away from the crowd, "Gomen, ladies." He grinned modestly.
"Having fun, guys?" she tilted her head and forced a smile, "Matt, I see you're pretty popular."
Mat crossed his arms, "Yeah, whatever." Mimi grabbed her head, "You okay? Not having another 'breakdown' again, are you?"
"Matt!" Michael scowled, "Why are you being so rude to her?"
"No, it's okay, Mike-kun," Mimi smiled, "I-I just got tired of walking around and all. Ahem, you guys seen Tai and Sora around?"
"Mimi!" Miyako yelled and ran to her friend, almost tripping, "Where have you been, I heard everyone talking about Tenshi Tsubasa being here and where's-" she stopped and caught sight of Matt and Michael, she gasped, "Omg! You're like-Yamato Ishida! Omg, Omg, Omg!" She jumped up and down.
Matt backed away, "Chill, lady. Man, you're even more genki than Mimi."
"I'll take that as a compliment." Mimi crossed her arms.
"I'm getting a drink," Michael announced, "Matt, wanna come? I don't wanna be alone when those girls come back." Matt nodded and walked off, "Hey, be right back, girls."
After they were gone, Miyako shrieked, "Omg, Michael is soo kawaii!! You are so lucky to be with Yamato!"
Mimi stepped back, "Whoa, back up, who ever said I was going out with Yama-kun? He hates me!"
Miyako blinked, "What do you mean? You two are totally kawaii together!"
Mimi shook her head, "Oh, Miyako…You're hopeless." her head perked up when she heard a peculiar whistle behind her. She winced as a boy about a year older than her came up behind her and whispered in her ear, stroking her hair.
"Hey, beautiful. What's up with you, ignoring me for the past few days? Think that just because you're in a famous band now you're too good for me?"
Mimi closed her eyes, "Kenta, go away, Pee Wee Herman's too good for you."
The boy called 'Kenta' grabbed her playfully at the waist, "Nani? Like, why don't you ditch this loser nerd and come hang out with myself and my crew?"
"That 'my crew and I'" Miyako commented, "And who you calling a loser nerd?!" she pouted.
"Go fiddle with some calculator, nerd. C'mon, Mimi." Kenta said and pulled Mimis' hand and started to drag her away.
"Kenta, Onegai, you're hurting me-let go!" Mimi pleaded and tried not to make anyone notice what was going on. Kenta snickered and Mimi felt her knees getting weak, "Kenta-"
"Oiy, stop fighting! Just come with me and I'll show you a good time-" he was cut off with the hand that laid on his shoulder and turned him around. Mimi sighed in relief when she saw that it was Matt with Michael behind him carrying two cups of punch.
"Is that ego of yours so big that it's clogging your ears?" Matt stared hard at Kenta with fury, "She said, let her go."
"Well, look who it is, pretty boy Ishida in the flesh-didn't recognize you in normal clothing besides those 'rock star' trash." Kenta smirked, "Stay out of my business."
"Mimi isn't your business."
Kenta pushed Mimi's hand away, "You picking a fight, Ishida? Let's have it!"
Mimi rushed to Matt's side along with Miyako, "Matt, please don't-it's not worth it! Let's just go!"
"Shut up, Mimi," Kenta snapped, "Pretty boys' face here is mine." Without hesitation, he lunged his fist towards Matt's face. Mimi's eyes widened, his fist stopped in mid-air, or at least in Matt's hand. Matt had swiftly raised his hand in front of his face and stopped Kenta's fist, his face hadn't changed as he gripped Kenta's hand and twisted it around.
"Ack!" Kenta yelped. (Hai, no one can see them even though they're SORT OF fighting…. my story, do whatever my weird mind desires @_o)
"Matt, let him go!" Mimi said and held onto Matt's arm, "Please."
Matt glanced at Mimi's worried face, "Fine," and he dropped his hand and let Kenta retrieve his reddened hand back in pain, "Stay away from her, or I swear-" Kenta smirked.
"That was a lucky shot, when I get my gang-" he turned to Mimi, "Enjoy the dance, Mimi, I promise I'll see you later." And he walked away.
"Whoa," Michael said, "Matt, that was-sugoi! Where'd you learn to do that?"
"Hai, Kenta's really ticked off at you, Yamato." Miyako said, "That was soo cool!"
Matt grunted and looked back when he felt Mimi's hand cling tighter around his arm, his face softened when he caught the worried look on her face. She frowned, "Why did you do that? Now Kenta's really gonna get you once he gets his friends!"
"Let him do what he wants," he replied, "I'll beat the crap out of all of them-besides, I told you I'd look out for you." he gave a tiniest up-curve on his lips.
Mimi smiled, "Thanks, Matt."
"Yeah, whatever," he couldn't help smiling and walked away, with Mimi following him around. She kept her hand around his arm and watched as all the girls glared at him, she looked at Matt, I don't care if saving me meant nothing to you-it meant the whole world to me, she smiled.
"Mimi, wait-" Michael watched as the two disappeared, he frowned but then felt Miyako's hand around his arm.
"C'mon, Michael! Let's go dance!" before he could say a word Miyako dragged him in front of the floor.
--------*-*--------
The night went by fast, faster than they'd all expected. Mimi had to stay a bit later than everyone since she was the class president and was to make sure that everyone left safely with rides, you can see why everyone loved her. She stayed outside till the last car left out of sight, she waved at Kari's leaving car and when she was gone Mimi sank back to a bench just outside the gym. Boy, am I tired, she thought, the dance went by too fast, I don't want this night to end-not yet.
"Ready to go, Mimi?" Sora asked as her and Tai, Takeru, Michael, and Matt walked outside and to Mimi as the limo rounded around the corner and stopped in front of them to drive them all home.
"Hai," she hesitated, "But, you guys go ahead…I only live like twelve blocks away and I think I feel like walking home this time." She stood up.
"You sure? It's pretty dark out." Tai said.
Mimi nodded, "Go ahead, I'll be fine by myself. Don't worry, I'll talk to you guys later." And she waved and walked off to the left, to her house. Everyone started to get in the limo, Michael looked back.
"Matt, aren't you coming?"
Matt looked from Mimi to Michael, "Uh, I think I'll walk Mimi home," Mimi spun around, "It's not safe for a girl to walk around by herself at night, I'll meet you guys back at the hotel."
"Okay, Ja." Matt waved at the limo as it drove off before running to catch up with Mimi. He slowed down when he reached her, dug his hands in his pockets and stared at the ground as they walked side by side. He glanced at Mimi when he heard her humming softly to one of the songs he sang as she stared out to the night sky. Matt's brows furrowed, Why am I doing this? He asked himself, Am I worried or something? He sighed, Mimi does look pretty nice tonight, and she wasn't all that hyper either…what's up with that Kenta dude? Ex boyfriend or something? Wait, why do I even care? This is so confusing! He looked at Mimi, though, I sure felt like killing that guy by even laying a hand on her…he frowned, I can't be…
"You know," Mimi cut in, "I'm not stupid, I can take care of myself perfectly…"
"I know."
Mimi looked up, "So, why'd you decide to walk home with me?"
Matt shrugged, "Do I have to have an excuse? Can't I just want to walk you home?" Mimi blushed and looked down.
"Can I ask you another question?" Mimi said.
"Do I have a choice?"
"Shut up," Mimi smiled, "No really…I've been wondering, why are you so in love with money?" she didn't notice Matt stop, "I mean-you're already pretty rich being part of a famous band and all, and Michael says you've got tons of investments and I may not excel at business and all but I know what they still are. And it seems pretty selfish that that's all you-Matt?" she looked back at Matt who was a few feet back.
"Stop," he muttered, "Don't you dare criticize me if you don't even know why I do what I do."
"And why exactly do you do what you do?" Mimi asked jokingly.
Matt shot her a glare, "I said it's none of your business. Just stay out!"
Mimi's eyes narrowed, "Hey, I'm only trying to be nice here! Gosh, Matt, why are you so hostile towards me? What'd I ever do to you? Maybe if you'd just get over that money obsession of yours and get a life or a girlfriend-"
"Damnit, Mimi, shut up, would you?!" Mimi stepped back at hearing Matt yell at her-it hit her about what Michael or Tai had said that when dissing him about money he'd get really ticked off and stuff. Matt balled his fists, "God, Mimi learn that life isn't all smiles and mind your own business!"
Mimi stood there baffled for a while, she felt the hot tears welling up in her eyes and she didn't want Matt to see her crying since she knew he'd get at her about it, she turned away, "I think I can walk home by myself, Ja ne." and she hurriedly walked home.
Matt let out an agitated groan and stormed off. The nerve of that girl! Doesn't she know when to butt out of people's business? She doesn't even have a clue why I am the way I am and that gives her no right to think she can force it out of me. He spotted some guys in punk-like clothing heading the other way, they didn't seem to see him from the other side of the street. He ducked under the bush and looked closely at the guy who was babbling, he somehow looked familiar. Kenta! What's he doing-Mimi! He groaned and ran back to the other side.
Mimi kicked around a can, "Stupid, Matt. I was only trying to help, besides, I promised myself I'd help him get over his money obsession and find him a girl to love and all-but he's such a jerk and making this so hard for me!" she held her hand out and caught the drops of rain that bounced off the sky and began dawning on her hair, "Arrgh, I can't stand it!"
"Aw, Mimi having troubles? Maybe I can walk you home instead of that pretty boy, Ishida." Came a voice behind her.
It began to rain harder, till it was raining cats and dogs, "Kenta!" Mimi spun around and found Kenta and three of his goons smirking at her, she gulped and began to back away but Kenta grabbed her wrist.
"Uh-uh, we've got some score to settle, beautiful." He pulled her into him and leaned down for a kiss.
"Kenta, please-" she whispered.
"Shh…" Kenta smiled and leaned closer.
"Hey!" Kenta turned around to find a foot smack hard against his face and sent him flying to the ground. He quickly got up and wiped the blood off his mouth, "What the-"
"Are you really that deaf? She said to leave her alone." It was Matt. He slowly walked towards Kenta and kicked him in the stomach, "Learn your lesson, Karachi and stay away from her."
"Yamato!" Mimi screamed and backed away from the enclosing crowd.
Kenta snapped his fingers, "I think that was my line, pretty boy." Suddenly two arms grabbed Matt from behind while another kicked him in the stomach, making him drop to his knees while Kenta jabbed his back with his elbow. Matt could taste the blood in his mouth, he could hear Mimi scream his name but he only heard the hitting of fists into his stomach. At the corner of his eye, he could see Kenta grab Mimi, Mimi screamed in pain as Kenta took her wrist slightly twisting it as he leaned for a kiss. That made Matt loose his temper. With swift moves, he gained the upper hand and sent his feet flying over to the three guys' faces and sent them hitting the cement ground, (I'm trying to make it short, k) he took one of the guys' arms and flipped him over onto the top of the other two before facing Kenta. Matt could make out the beads of sweat dripping down Kenta's forehead, and the tears in Mimi's eyes.
"Let, her, go," he said and walked towards Kenta, a shade of fury in his eyes.
"Hey," Kenta let go of Mimi's red wrist, put his hands up in the air like a suspect does when being arrested and began backing away, "Sure…Uh, Daijibou, Mimi? See? She's not hurt! Why not let's all just forget this all happened and move on?" he grinned and looked at Mimi, he whispered, "You're lucky, Mimi…" he winked, "I-I'll be seeing you around, from afar this time." He grinned coyly at Matt before walking away followed by his goons.
Matt wiped the blood off his mouth, "Baka."
"Yamato!" Mimi ran to him, making him loose his balance a bit, "Are you some kind of idiot?! You could've killed yourself!! And because of me-if you got hurt, I swear I'll never forgive myself!" she cried into his arms while she kept mumbling words to herself and scowling at him.
"N-nani?"
"You really think you're protecting me, but you're just hurting me more by getting yourself hurt like that-on my account." She choked between each gasping sob.
"Why would you care?" Matt brought himself back and pulled her away before beginning to walk back the way to Mimi's house, "It's over, let's get you home." and he walked on. Mimi still stood there.
"Why do I care…?" she whispered, "Yamato, I care because-I love you!-" she quickly covered her mouth, regretting what she had just blurted out. Matt stopped in his tracks. (Miaka and Tama moment ^^)
"Gomen ne," he said plainly, "But I just don't feel the same way…and I can never feel that way about anyone-especially you."
"But you protected me-"
"That was strictly business, where'd we be without our lead singer? Besides, I'm not someone who backs down on my promise. Now let's go before you get sick from the rain."
Mimi's eyes widened, Matt…no, why are you saying this? I…Matt started walking away again. Mimi tried to reach her hand out to pull him back, her eyesight getting murkier and murkier being that her round-hazel eyes were filled with tears that ran furiously down her pale, wet cheeks. Matt, you-can't mean that, I thought you were different-you cared…Onegai-the last thing she saw was her stretched out arm trying to reach out for Matt but he seemed to keep moving farther and farther, walking against the rain with ease unlike her who was struggling to just take another step farther as the water pelted down on her, she stared at him as he was disappearing in the rain and darkness that was taking over her body. Matt-that was the last word that came out of her mouth before collapsing to the ground
