Will We Ever Be Together?
Chapter 18
"Yamato…" Mimi murmured softly.
"…Tachikawa…" I murmured softly her last name.
"…Yamato…please…" she whispers softly as our lips continued to inch closer and closer.
"Shh…Mimi…" I whispered soothingly.
"It's Mimi…Ishida…" my pink-haired angel replied.
"Yes…my lovely angel…" I answered.
"Please…Yamato…please my love…" she whimpered softly.
I smirked and our lips were about to touch until there was a knock on the door, I quickly pulled away. "Um…sorry about that…" I said, my face turning red as a beet.
"Um…it's alright…" she replied back.
I walked towards the door and opened it. Only to find my drunken father standing there holding a pair of extra keys.
"Hick…heresh ish some keys for…hick! Mimi…" my father said and staggered back to his friends. I was able to take the keys from him before he nearly dropped them onto the floor. I closed my door and tossed them to her.
"Here's your set of keys. Most likely they're keys for the apartment. Anyways, is the little Princess of Gekomons going to take a shower now?" I asked with a wide smirk, trying my best to pretend that nothing happened earlier.
She nodded. "Thanks." And with that, she entered the bathroom.
I sighed and laid down on my bed. My hands covered my face completely as I tried hard to think of what to do right now. My life had now become MORE complicated. It wasn't fair now, then again this whole world isn't meant to BE fair. Then I let out a long sigh.
Ten minutes later, the bathroom door opened and Mimi walked out. She climbed into the bed after I got up. "I'm going to bed now…goodnight Matt…" she said and with that she went to sleep, but before she could drift off to sleep I cleared my throat slightly. She looked at me.
"…Mimi, I'm really sorry about this and I hope we can still be friends…really, I'm sorry…" I said.
She smiled back at me. "I'm alright just tired and you're forgiven." She giggled softly, "Now, can I get some rest Prince of bathroom stealers?"
I laughed slightly, remembering what I had said earlier before we danced. I nodded. "Goodnight Princess of Gekomons." I smiled and walked to my bathroom, I didn't feel like going to the one down the hallway. I felt a lot better than before as I found myself humming softly a tune while taking a shower.
Few minutes later, I walked out into my bedroom and got into my sleeping bag. I glanced over at Mimi and smiled. She was sleeping peacefully and that made me feel relieved. Once my blue eyes shut, I found myself opening them hours later when I heard a slight whimper.
I sat up and glanced over at Mimi. She was tossing and turning while mumbling things. I quickly got out of my sleeping bag and shook her gently. "Mimi…Mimi…wake up. You're having a nightmare." I said softly and soothingly. Soon, she stopped tossing, turning, and mumbling things. After a few minutes, she was sleeping peacefully again and a smiled formed at the sides of my mouth. I got up and slept inside my sleeping bag, wondering what she was dreaming out. Whatever was making her have a nightmare worried me, I wondered if it was what had happened earlier, but it couldn't have been because she felt rather relaxed when our lips nearly touched. It must've been something else bothering this Princess.
Ever since that day, the days followed were busy and a month later everyone was excited. Everyone was nervous as well, but out of everyone in my band who was nervous was: Mimi. I decided to give her a few surprises on that day of the concert because of all the stress and how nervous she got for the past month. Having to go to school with her and the others felt great, it felt as if we were back in the Digital World, but this time, the evil digimon weren't real digimon, instead they were the teachers. It was funny if you thought about it a lot. Anyways, tonight was the tonight. The night where most things will be determined whether or not for good or bad causes.
I was tuning up my guitar when I heard a knock on the door. "Come in." I answered still tuning my guitar. In came Sora, holding a box and wearing a light jacket.
"Hey Matt." She greeted me with a loving smile. "I bet you'll do great tonight."
"Hi Sora, thanks. So what brings you here? The concert's going to start in ten minutes." I said, looking up at her.
She held out the box to me. "This is for you…um, are you going to be free after the concert?" she asked and soon her eyes were staring at the ground. I could tell that she was blushing.
I took the box and smiled. "Thanks Sora, umm…I don't really know. I might have to stay after the concert for a while, depending on how lazy the others are." I chuckled softly.
"Ok…umm, I'll see you later then." She said and ran out of the room.
I shrugged and continued to fix my guitar.
"Matt?" a soft, cheery voice called my name from the doorway.
I looked up to find a brunette haired girl wearing a long midnight blue dress. My face had pure awe as I found myself memorized by the beauty of the young maiden. I got up and smiled. "Wow, you look great Mimi." I said, still smiling.
The young girl blushed. "Thanks Matt, but I couldn't have done this all without you. Thanks a bunch Matt and I really mean it." She said as she walked over to me and gave him a tight hug. I hugged her back and smiled at how much she had changed during the past month. The pink dye in her hair had worn off and now her natural light brown hair was present. Her singing became even better and I felt somewhat proud of her.
"Your welcome, so you ready for your big night?" I asked.
"I'm kind of nervous and excited." She said and smiled. "Thanks for giving me this chance to sing in public. I've always dreamed of this, but like I said, my parents won't allow it."
"Don't worry, they will…" I said with a smirk.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"Oh! Nothing. Don't worry about it. You better hurry up and get set Mimi." I said.
"Alright. Thanks a bunch Matt!" she said and hurried out of my room.
I sighed and got ready as well. This was going to be a night full of surprises, but what I didn't know was that these surprises will cause plenty of pain…
"Alright everyone! To start us off, our first act is the nice and beautiful Mimi Tachikawa!!" the announcer shouted as the lights dimmed down and the only light that shown was all on Mimi.
Mimi stood there smiling. "I'd like to dedicate this song to a boy I know…"
The band members and I watched as we began to wonder what song she was going to sing. When she had said "this song to a boy I know", I began to wonder whether or not she was talking about me. I shrugged slightly, but I soon found my answer…
Mimi took a deep breath and began to sing her best. The song she sang went like this:
"When I'm lost in the rain,
In your eyes I know
I'll find the light to light my way
And when I'm scared, losing ground
When my world is going crazy
You can turn it all around and when I'm down you're there
Pushing me to the top
You're always there, giving me all you've got
For a shield from the storm
For a friend
For a love to keep me safe and warm
I turn to you
For the strength to be strong
For the will to carry on
For everything you do
For everything that's true
I turn to you
When I lose the will to win
I just reach for you
And I can reach the sky again
I can do anything
'Cause your love is so amazing
'Cause your love inspires me
And when I need a friend
You're always on my side
Giving me faith, taking me through the night
For a shield from the storm
For a friend
For a love to keep me safe and warm
I turn to you
For the strength to be strong
For the will to carry on
For everything you do
For everything that's true
I turn to you
For the arms to be my shelter
Through all the rain
For truth that will never change
For someone to lean on
For a heart I can rely on through anything
For the one who I can run to...
For a shield from the storm
For a friend
For a love to keep me safe and warm
I turn to you
For the strength to be strong
For the will to carry on
For everything you do
For everything that's true
I turn to you"
There was a loud applause when she finished singing. I could see that the girl who had once thought was only a pre-Madonna had now achieved one of her dreams. The dream was: to sing. The lights turned off as she got off the stage and it was then our turn to be presented. She walked down the steps carefully, trying not to step on her dress. I walked over to her and smiled.
"That was great Mimi, congratulations." I said with a bright smile.
"Thanks Matt!" Mimi said and wrapped her arms around me. Obviously, she was breaking out into tears because I could feel her body shake slightly.
"Hey? What's wrong? Don't cry Mimi…shhh…" I soothed slowly as my hand stroking her brown hair. "It's okay."
She nodded and smiled. "Good luck Matt."
"Thanks." I said and kissed her cheek. I then ran up the stairs as my name was called. There were many screams when I appeared and I could even hear a VERY high-pitched scream, who I knew had came from Jun. I smiled brightly and glanced at my fellow band members.
They all nodded in response to show that they were ready to start.
"Are you guys ready to rock?" I asked on the microphone, holding onto my red, shiny guitar.
There were screams from everywhere.
"I can't hear you!" I said.
There were even louder screams than before.
I smiled brightly and began to sing as my fellow band members and I played the tune. I sang:
"You got a boy
You got a girl
Sitting underneath a tree
They sit there everyday
But even though you may think
This is the way that things should be
It may not always be that way
You can't take nothing for granted
You got to live life today
I turn around I can see what's behind me
I turn back around I can see what's ahead
And if you don't believe I've been here all along
Just turn around
Just turn around..."
