Mimi's POV

Sora dropped me off at my dark house after we left the hospital. I opened the front door to find candles lit everywhere all around the sitting room, and there sitting on the couch was Jyoe dressed all in black. "What the…?" I questioned as he arose from the chair. "What an eventful night hey Mimi," He stated while walking towards me. "How did you get in here?" I question. "The door was unlocked," He smiled. "I think it's late a..a..and I think you should l..l…leave, " I stuttered nervously. "No need to be afraid Mimi, I'm not going too hurt you," He explained calmly. "Jyoe, no offence you're a nice guy and all but you scare me!" I shouted while walking backwards towards the door. "I scare you? Oh Mimi you haven't seen anything scary from me yet," he laughed as he reached for my tank top strap, I breathed in sharply as he reached for me. "Stop," I cried as he kept his arm extended towards me. "Please, don't," I began too cry even more. "But why? Matt's not here to stop you, in fact he's not here to stop me." He replied. "No this isn't right, I don't like you and I've told you, you scare me a lot. And I love Matt I don't love you." I yelled through tears. He kissed me passionately on the lips as I fought to get him away from me, but he was too strong and he wouldn't let go. I finally kicked him where I knew it would hurt and he yelled out and broke the kiss while falling onto the floor clutching himself. "I told you know, you were giving me unwanted physical contact, I think you should leave," I cried, he looked up at me. "Why do you love Matt over me?" Asked Jyoe through yelps of pain. "Matt is everything that you're not, you could never be him. Matt is honest and caring he doesn't force his love on me like you do," I explained, Jyoe's face turned into a scowl. "I will have you Mimi, if it's the last thing that I do, even if I have to get rid of Matt to have you," explained Jyoe sharply while storming out the door.

I walked around the room and put out all of the candles just as I saw Matt-running in. "Matt! What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in the hospital resting." I exclaimed. "Was Jyoe here?" Questioned Matt looking at all the blown out candles, I hesitated too tell him the answer, the last thing I needed was for him too get all worked up about Jyoe but I can't lie too him. "Yes he was here," I replied. "Did he do anything too you?" Asked Matt. "He kissed me," I looked down too my feet in shame. "Hey, it was just a kiss and it didn't mean anything too you right?" Asked Matt while embracing me. "No it didn't but it didn't feel right, it felt wrong, he just wasn't…you. A…a…and he said that he'd have me even if he had too get rid you." I cried into Matt's shoulder. "Don't worry, remember what I said I'll never get killed. I just survived through that accident I just had, and I now know who caused it too, Jyoe visited me in the hospital and told me that he had caused my brakes too fail both times, that something had gone wrong." Explained Matt. "He did what?" I asked shocked. "He's been sabotaging my races, trying too 'get rid' of me," stated Matt. Matt and I sat down on the couch in silence for a long time until I finally fell asleep.

Matt's POV

I sat awake as sunlight began pouring into the sitting room. I looked downcast too Mimi, she was sleeping peacefully like a little angel. I couldn't let Jyoe get her; I wouldn't let him touch her again. I wasn't certain weather or not to race against him again or just have a one on one fight against him, either one was risky. I wish I never brought Mimi back into this world, she doesn't deserve this, she went through it in New York and now here. I turned too see lights coming in through the window, I noticed it was a car. "Oh, no her parents are home." I whispered then I bent down and kissed Mimi on the cheek and ran out the back door and through her neighbor's back yard too the road.

Mimi's POV

I awoke to the sound of the door handle turning. 'Oh no my parents!' "Matt you've got to get out of here." I whispered before noticing that he had already left. "Mimi?" Questioned a voice from the door. I turned too see Michael standing at the doorway. "Michael, what are you doing here?" I yelled. "That's a nice welcome, I'm here to see you who else?" He laughed. "But I broke up with you in New York." I replied. "Because you were forced too by your father." He announced. I gave him a confused look, I remember the break up very well, I made it look like it had been my choice the whole time, I told him I never wanted too see him again and that I had decided to never date street racers ever again either. I also remembered the hurt look on his face, that look made me cry the whole way too Japan. "But I… How did you…How did you know I was forced too?" I questioned still confused. "Brad told me, he said your father made you break up with me," Explained Michael. "Aren't you happy too see me?" He questioned embracing me in a hug. I stood in silence not able too hug him back, this felt like some bad horror movie, Matt loves me and I love Matt, Jyoe loves me but I'm scared of Jyoe and now Michael is back in my life, but do I still love Michael? "Mimi is there something you're not telling me?" Asked Michael. "Michael I think you should sit down for this one, you might take it hard." I explained and I began to tell him the whole story about what had happened since I came to Japan.

"So you're dating someone, and you're already into 'gang' problems and you've only been here for a little while," He answered irritated. "Look, how am I too plan falling in and out of love?" I questioned sternly. "How do I to explain that I've fallen for another man, what did you think I was going to do? Go to Japan and stay single in hopes that one-day I would get too see you again? Michael I thought we were over." I explained as I felt hot tears fall. "Do you think I knew all of this? I was hoping to just be able too come out here and see you without any fuss, but no it's not like that I had thought you were staying away from street racers now, but I should have known. I should have known you; you can't and won't stay away from street racers. It's your adrenaline rush, too have the rush of dating the 'hot dangerous guy', sure you're one of the few who actually fall in love with the 'hot dangerous guys' but that's why I came back Mimi, because you made me fall in love with you." Explained Michael while taking my hands into his. I turned away this was what I had asked for, being involved with these people always had their advantages, but then there were the disadvantages such as this, the heart ache that I had to go through the reticule from your best friend in New York telling you she's Michael's new girlfriend. "Michael, I'm sorry but I can't have this right now. I have been stressed enough with Matt and Jyoe for this too happen right now, I had to break your heart once, and even if you were too far away too know it you broke my heart as well." I announced through my tears. "How did I break your heart?" He asked. "About three weeks after I had gotten too Japan Jennifer phones me up and tells me she's your new girlfriend, and that she was the new 'it girl'. That's always nice too know that the guy you still loved had already moved on." I turned too Michael his face was white as a ghost. "Jennifer." He mumbled, then he looked up at me with pleading eyes. "I have nothing too say, except I'm sorry." Explained Michael. "Well I'm sorry too but I think you should go." I said. "Yeah, if you ever visit New York look me up." Explained Michael as he left my house. As soon as he left I walked back too my bedroom and pulled a large shoe box out from under my bed; inside the shoe box was pictures of Michael and I, a month ago I would have been over joyed too see him but now I'm too devoted too someone else too care. I picked up something I had been fearing since I left New York, something I had dreaded too ever see again in my life, a locket Michael had given me, something that I had promised I would never take off.

*Flashback*

May 5, 2001 Central Park.

"Michael will you take me ice skating?" I questioned as we walked along the park pathway. "But we can't I have a race within an hour." He explained. "Oh please, I really want too." I explained. "Oh no you gave me the look, now I have too take you skating." Laughed Michael. "What look?" I asked with confusion. "It's this look that makes anyone who sees it feel guilty for saying no. You always give it too me when I say no." He smiled. "Well if it gets you too take me ice skating, I'll use it more often." I smiled. "Alright let's go." Shouted Michael as he grabbed my hand and pulled me too the ice rink. "But before we go skating I have something too give too you," He pulled out a black velvet box and handed it too me. "What is it?" I asked inspecting the case. "Something too remind you of me, and this fantastic winter evening." He smiled. I opened the case and inside was a golden heart shaped locket, inside the locket was a picture of Michael and I together on skating. "Thank you." I smiled while kissing him passionately on the lips.

*End of Flashback*

That night had been one of the best evenings of my life with Michael, dinner, skating not to mention Michael won that race that night. I pulled the locket out and inspected it, when a mental voice in my head screamed out Matt. I closed the velvet box and placed it back into the shoebox, while pushing it under my bed. I looked at my alarm clock that read six thirty AM; gee Michael had come early in the morning. I soon got ready for bed and went too sleep, it had been a long night, and I had a lot of things too think about. Michael had just been added back too my pile.

Well how was it, does Mimi still have a little thing for Michael? I'd love to know your comments!! Sorry about the cliffhanger, I will continue soon when I have time. Anyway remember to R&R thanx! Fuchsia
