Chapter 10: Present…4 ½ Moths Later
It's not me, it's you…it's you.
'How could he? HOW COULD HE!!!' Matt thought as he was actually screaming inside his head.
~15 MINUTES LATER~
*ding dong*
'I wonder who it is. Maybe Mimi's coming back for more…' as Joe thought, a sick smile played into view on his lips. He opened the door, and the smile was immediately wiped off since he was facing a not to happy Matt. Joe went pale, "H-hey Matt, back so soon?"
Instead of accepting Joe's welcome, Matt grabbed him by the collar and asked angrily, "Why the hell did you touch my fiancée?" There was no answer from Joe. "Answer me!"
"It was not my fault that she was willing to go to dinner with me."
"Well, it's also NOT her fault that she trusted you, you bastard. You raped her."
"Wha-? I DID NOT do that to her, she just got drunk, and thought that I was you."
"Some excuse Joe, but THAT WON'T CUT IT!"
"I'm serious Matt, she thought I was you."
"Shut the hell up, NO ONE can ever think that you were me." Matt lost his temper and patience, and punched Joe in that face. He fell back and his nose started to bleed. Matt turned around so he had faced the hallway and said through gritted teeth, "I'm leaving now, out of your dirty apartment. Our friendship is over, and if I ever see you again, I will kill you. The best thing for you to do now is move, leave this damn town; no one will ever want to see that ugly looking face of yours ever again. Bastard." Matt mumbled the last word and left.
*4 ½ MONTHS LATER*
Joe luckily got a job transfer to Chicago and moved there. Everything was fine, until it started to show.
Matt had stayed the night at Mimi's [nothing nasty]. He woke-up and made his way to her kitchen to make the two of them some breakfast while Mimi took a shower. She started to get dressed, only to find out that her pants wouldn't fit. She tried to zip them up but it wouldn't work, so she changed her mind and wore a skirt. At least that fit, but there was a slight problem: her stomach was showing.
'What the heck is going on here? I-I'm starting to show! WAHHH! He's gonna find out, I'm dead, I'm dead, I'M DEAD! Ok Mimi, you're a smart girl, now think: Hello? Nothing's coming to my mind…I can tell Sora, Sora knows. Good ol' Sora.'
Mimi solved her clothes situation by wearing a white sundress that didn't show. It hung loosely on her and she matching tan sandals with it. 'Problem solved…a bit. Wear loose clothing articles.' She walked out of her room and went to the kitchen.
"Smells good!"
"Not as much as how good you look." Matt said as he eyed her dress, "Thanks. It runs in the family."
Mimi laughed, "Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't TK almost burn down your apartment last time he tried to make toast?"
Matt sweat-dropped, "He he, oh yeah, I forgot, then it's just a natural talent to me."
Mimi took her seat at the table and said, "Yeah, for you to say."
"Come on, if you read AND followed the instructions sometimes, you might not burn everything that you try to make." Matt teased.
"Hey, I resent that MATT!!" Mimi replied snobbishly, "Just for that, OUT OF MY APARTMENT!" She easily pushed a surprised Matt out the door and locked it. You could hear Matt banging on the door from the outside, yelling, "MIMI!! LET ME BACK IN!!"
"NO!! YOU MADE YOUR FIRST MISTAKE BY INSULTING MY COOKING!" She sat back down at the table and started to eat the pancakes that Matt had made for the two of them. The banging had stopped now and Mimi heard a click, as if her lock had opened.
She turned her head around only to see Matt leaning against the doorframe, wearing a smirk on his face and swinging his keys around his index finger. "You didn't think I was that dumb, did you?"
Mimi's mouth hung open in awe at how smart this guy leaning against her doorframe was, then she smirked. "Why you little devil." She started to run forward to a surprised Matt, tackled him, and they both fell down.
"I never knew you were so smart." Mimi laughed as she fell on top of Matt.
"Yeah, well there's a lot of me you don't know---the SMART side of me. But right now, I don't like the position I'm in, so…"
"So what?"
"…I'm gonna switch with you!" Matt said as he rolled over so now it was the other way.
"Uhh! Get off me!" She said as she was 'stuck', and acted as a damsel in distress.
"No, I don't think so Ms. Mimi, I'll think I'll stay like this for as long as I like." He whispered seductively into her ear.
Just then, Sora walked into Mimi's apartment and asked innocently, "Oh, am I interrupting something here?"
"Huh? Oh, hey Sora." Matt and Mimi both said in unison as they got up from their awkward position.
"No, nothing. You saved me! This jerk was going to—"
"Wha? I'm so lost." Sora said confusedly.
"Don't mind this damsel, I'm going to keep her and protect her from anyone who tries to hurt her." Matt said protectively.
"Like you?" Mimi giggled. She loved to play with Matt's mind.
"….Sora, can I join the 'lost' group with you?"
"Anyone's welcome!" She laughed.
"Alright, I'm in!"
"So, why'd you come here?" Mimi asked.
"Oh, I just wanted to talk to you. Tai's at my place watching 'The Fast and the Furious' and I got bored so I waltzed into here where I found you two on the floor on top of each other." This made Matt and Mimi blush.
"Hey, did you say he was watching 'The Fast and the Furious'?" Matt asked excitedly.
"Yeah."
"Ok, count me in! Later Mimi!" With that, Matt ran to Sora's apartment. Mimi went to close her door and sat down at the table with a worried face. [A/N: Oh yeah, when M & M ate their breakfast, it was like 12pm, k?]
"What's the matter?"
"Sora, look." Mimi pulled the loose cloth to the back, and in the front you could see a slight bulge around the stomach.
"Oh my god! You're starting to show!"
"Yeah, what do I do?"
"Well, you've gotta shop for bigger sizes, that's for sure. You can't keep hiding Mimi, it's either you tell him, or…."
"Or what?" Mimi demanded.
"…he's going to find out the hard way; by seeing your stomach grow. You've only got, 4 ½ moths more till you deliver that innocent baby. You better decide Mimi, tell him or not."
There was a moment of silence and Mimi thought, should she tell him or not? She came to a conclusion, but it wasn't a very well though out one. "Sora…I don't know."
"What?!?! How can you not know? Look, do you want me to explain this to you, again?"
"Well, if you want to." Mimi shrugged her shoulders.
"Well, it's obvious that you don't know what's going-"
"Hey, I know what is going on, I just do not want to know."
"Look Mimi, which way do you want? The hard way, or the easy way?"
Mimi's mood changed slightly, "There's an easy way out of this stupid mess?"
Sora slapped her head at how her friend could be so easy on this whole situation, and it wasn't even her own; it was her situation, "Mimi! Get real! There is no easy way out!"
"Then you just said—"
"Yes, I know what I said, but it isn't that much easier. Either way, Matt is going to be extremely steamed at you." Sora said in frustration, "Number one: he finds out, number two: he's going to get really mad, and number three: Ican'ttellyouorelseyou'regonnahatemefortellingthepossibleoutcome." She finished quickly. [I can't tell you or else you're gonna hate me for telling the possible outcome.]
"Wha-? Repeat again."
"No Mimi, you have to figure things out for yourself, I can't do that for you anymore. Well, I can but I can't, this matter is out of my hands. Do you get what I'm leading onto?" she sighed, "Just think of what's best. I'm sorry."
Mimi soaked in all the words that Sora had just told her, and it didn't really help her. "I'm sorry Sora for putting you into so much shit. It's my fault and not yours." Mimi said as tears were forming, "I'll just have to tell Matt that…I'm pregnant with Joe's child."
From outside of Mimi's apartment, Matt had heard the last two sentences that the two friends had exchanged with each other, and he couldn't believe it. He just couldn't. He decided to walk back into Mimi's 'apartment of lies' to confront her. Mimi was caught off guard as Matt walked calmly into the room with his head held down.
'Oh no, please tell me that Matt didn't hear the last 5 words Mimi said, not now. Bad timing!' Sora thought.
"M-matt, what' are you doing here? Weren't you watching with Tai?" Mimi asked nervously, hoping he hadn't overheard the conversation.
Matt just kept on walking, till he walked right up to Mimi. He lifted his head and Mimi could see the anger blazing in his deep, azure eyes. "Tell me Mimi," he started calmly, "Are you pregnant with someone's child that I should know about?"
