~Chapter Seven~
-------2 days later…------
When you think the rain is gone, it comes back and ruins your day. Well Riley and I have a date again tomorrow instead of today because she was to work. Speaking of working, I should find a job. I mean how else am I going to pay for the rent?
-------3 hours later after being out in the cold, rainy, day…-------
Matt Ishida's just got himself a full time job at "The Music Center", a few blocks away from here! So now that I've found myself a job, living in New York City isn't so bad anymore. I'm beginning to enjoy it. Except for the Mimi incident the other day. I still cant believe that it was Mimi…Just thinking about her makes me angry. I know she's right about me not picking up the phone after she left but I had a reason to why I never contacted her. I was in love with her but she tore my heart out. I was so close to telling her that I never wanted her to leave but my coward side took over.
What am I suppose to do now? Nothing. It's not like Mimi and I are going to run into each other again. *KNOCK KNOCK* Who could that be?
No…I find myself looking at Mimi standing there, drenched from head to toe.
"Matt, please just hear me out…" She says while I bore my eyes into hers.
"How'd you find out where I live?" I harshly ask.
"I followed you. I saw you walk out from that music store and I just had to talk to you…" She said softly.
"What's there to talk about?"
"I should be the one who's mad!! I have every right too! After you neglected me and pushed me out of your life for the past 8 years!!" She suddenly burst out. I was slightly taken back. I've never heard Mimi yell before…
"You could have at least informed us that you were married and have a son!!!" I yelled back, with an equal amount of anger.
"I couldn't!!"
"Why not!?"
"Because I was ashamed!!" She suddenly cries, hands in her face. I just stood there, shocked to find her reaction.
"Ashamed of what Mimi?" I asked, my voice now calm and soft.
"You just don't understand!" She yells.
"Then make me understand." I say, as I gently put my hands on her shoulders, trying to pull her into my apartment. I've always had a soft spot for Mimi. No matter how hard I try I can never stay angry at her.
She reluctantly lets me pull her inside. Once she's in the apartment, I close the door and gently walk her towards the couch.
"What happened Mimi?" I ask, both of us now sitting on the couch.
She slowly looks at me with those emotional brown eyes. Pain, sadness, and anger filled her eyes.
"What are you ashamed off? Please tell me…" I try again. She hesitates for a moment, then returns her gaze to me.
------FLASHBACK------
"Hey there pretty lady…" a young man with blonde hair said, as he walked towards Mimi.
"What do you want Kyle?" Mimi asked, slightly annoyed.
"Just wanted to see how my favorite girl was doing." He said, as he puts an arm around Mimi's waist and brings her closer to him. "You smell really good…"
Then he suddenly kisses Mimi and slams her against the wall. Mimi yelps in slight pain and was struggling to be let go but was pinned between Kyle and the wall.
"Kyle…stop!" She said, trying to push him away.
"I know you want this…" He whispers, harshly kissing her neck as his hand roamed under her shirt.
"Please…stop!" She begged. He slaps her. Mimi becomes quiet.
"Not tonight." He said, his eyes full of revenge as he picks up Mimi and throws her on the bed. "This'll teach you to never date my brother."
That night, Kyle took advantage of Mimi. If Mimi refused to do what Kyle wanted her to do, he simply abused her up until she agreed. Kyle was jealous that Mimi chose Michael, his brother, instead of him. He wanted Mimi and he always gets what he wants. 3 weeks after what happened, Mimi found out that she's pregnant. Kyle heard the news and he left the city. For 6 years, she had never received any word from him or to where he might be but she didn't give a damn. Luckily, Michael was very supportive. Always being by her side throughout the pregnancy and helping her heal her emotional scars. Eventually the two of them fell in love. After Evan was born, Michael asked Mimi to marry him. She's never explained to Evan who his real father is, and that's why he refers Michael to his daddy. She never wanted to speak of Kyle ever again. She didn't care if he was dead, lying in a ditch somewhere. She just wanted him to stay away from her and Evan.
-----END OF FLASHBACK------
Unfortunately, the relationship between Michael and Mimi only lasted for 4 years. Thing started to change when Michael got a new job. He was rarely home. She didn't want Evan growing up without a father and she thought she was so lucky when she and Michael got married but then he had to travel around. Right now, they're trying to work things out and see if they can get back together…
"That's why I was so ashamed Matt. I had let myself get into a situation where everyone would have thought I was this stupid, useless girl! Not caring for my actions!! They would have been so disappointed. You would have been too." She cried.
I'm more surprised than I was before. I didn't know what to say.
"Mimi…" I softly said.
"I'm so sorry I never told you or the others! I just couldn't bring myself too!"
"It's ok. Now I understand. I'm sorry for never returning those phone calls." I tell her, embracing her in a hug. We stayed like that for a long time, not wanting to let go of each other. She was practically clutching my neck.
"We should get you out of these wet clothes before you get nee-mon-nee-aaa." I grinned, trying to sound like Evan. She looked up and smiled.
"I've missed you so much Matt…" She whispers as I was getting up.
"Yeah. I've missed you too." I smile, going into my room. What just happened here??
