Will We Ever Be Together?
Chapter 19
When our song ended, everyone cheered and I could feel my body heat rise in all this excitement. Soon our concert continued with our songs, but I found myself thinking deeper into my band's theme song, "Turn Around". There was actually a meaning that I haven't really noticed up until a specific moment in time. The meaning didn't come to me immediately, but throughout the pain and loss as well as happiness that I was going to face, that meaning came to me.
After the concert and sorting things out, I was able to find my family and friends waiting for me. Mimi was standing beside me in a dress, which my mother had sewed for her because she was bored. It came out nicely. It was a light blue spaghetti strapped dress over a white t-shirt, which was one of my old shirts.
"Hey Mimi…it's been awesome having you around lately." I said and smiled, but I guess my voice had a tone of longing or sadness because she looked at me with a sad and confused expression.
"What do you mean Matt?" she asked.
"Close your eyes. Your surprise is coming." I said and smiled.
She nodded and closed her eyes, not knowing what I was going to give her.
My parents walked over and behind them were both Mr. and Mrs. Tachikawa. They both wrapped their arms around their little princess and soon Mimi's eyes fluttered open. Soon her eyes were filled with tears, but these tears weren't filled with sadness, they were filled with joy. I smiled and turned slightly, noticing that a blond figure was hesitantly walking over. I sighed softly.
"Thanks Matt." Mimi said with a bright smile at me. "This is the best surprise, my parents are back."
"Naw, you shouldn't be thanking me really…you should thank your friend, Michael. Without him, I couldn't have contacted your parents." I said and somehow I could feel myself forcing a smile. My smile didn't even feel genuine, it felt rather fake and sad, but I guess no one noticed it much.
The blond figure walked over and smiled at Mimi. "Hello Mimi." He said.
"Michael! Thanks for bringing my parents here!" she said and hugged him.
Suddenly, my blood felt cold, but why was I feeling this? What was wrong with me lately? Must be that I didn't have much sleep because of the concert. I shrugged away the odd feeling and smiled as Mimi's happiness was fully returned to her. This made me happy and relieved, but it also left me an odd, tingly feeling. I also felt a jolt of jealousy and anger when she hugged Michael. I must have been imagining things.
"Mimi! That was wonderful! That song, we're SO proud of you dear. If your little friends haven't told us about you singing then we wouldn't have come, but we're here and we're sorry that we made you go through so much trouble." Mr. Tachikawa said, he then turned to look at my father, whose arm was draped over my shoulder. Mr. Tachikawa reached his hand out, ready for it to be shaken. "Thank you, Mr. Ishida. I'm sorry about all this trouble."
"Your welcome, plus I did it because I understood the situation and a friend of Matt's and T.K.'s is always welcomed here." My father said and shook his hand. Soon the two of them walked off and were laughing their brains off.
"Matt, thanks for letting me sing." Mimi thanked me and with one of her bright, cheery smiles.
"No problem Mimi, you're talented, but not as talented as I am." I said with a chuckle.
She giggled as she swatted my arm playfully. Michael was still standing by her side and soon I could feel more than one presence running towards us. I turned slightly and chuckled softly. The whole gang was running towards us as well as Davis' sister, Jun.
"MATT!!" she screamed and held out a piece of paper and a pen. "Can you sign this for me, please?"
I nodded and signed my name. "Here Jun."
"Thanks Matt!" she said and pressed the paper against her chest. "Are you busy tonight, Matt?"
"Hey Matty!" Tai said as he wrapped his arms around my waist. "Course he is busy tonight, Jun. He's spending the night at my place and we'll be making out all night long, right honey?"
I laughed and smiled at Tai. "Yes dear. Anything for you." I joked.
"Quit it Tai!" Jun said and grabbed my arm. "Let's go to a restaurant and eat Matt. You must be hungry by now."
"Um…no thanks Jun, I…umm…still have to sort out some stuff here. "I said, trying hard not to let her have her way.
"Aw…well I better go now. I have to bring my twerp brother home. Bye Matt. See you Monday." She said and ran off, looking for her brother.
I sighed in relief and suddenly remember where Tai's hands were. "Hands off Tai!" I said and glared at him, but his hands still stayed in the same place. "I'm not Sora." I whispered.
Soon his hands came off of me and he glared at me. "Shut up Matt! At least I HAD a girlfriend, unlike you and you can't even tell HER that you like her either. Hah!" he said and acted cocky.
"Who's this person you like, Matt? Do I know her?" Mimi asked.
I could feel my cheeks redden as she asked me. "Uh…it's no one…" I said sheepishly.
"Hey Mimi?" Michael asked.
She turned to look at him and found herself looking at a silver bracelet with tiny silver hearts on it. Each heart had a different color jewel. "Will you be my girlfriend?" Michael asked.
My blood instantly boiled as my hands clenched into fists time to time. This wasn't right at all! How can HE ask her out when I've been with her for a while?!
You didn't ask her because you are a coward. Let's face it. You aren't going to be with the girl of your dreams. She's too good for you, plus you're not able to make her look good as well. So forget the girl and forget all girls, who needs them? All you need is money, your voice, and your gigs. That's what's important and don't bother to be happy or even attend their wedding when the time comes. Just move somewhere, somewhere far, far away. A place where no one will be able to bother you, doesn't that sound good? (Author's Note: all this is Matt's thoughts)
Inside of my body, I can feel my blood boil, but slowly turn ice cold as my heart began to ache and turn into ice. My blue eyes covered the sadness and anger inside of me and I can tell that something weird was going to happen to me. I just wasn't able to figure out WHAT was going to happen to me. I wanted to be with Mimi because I loved her, but how can I ask her if she has Michael here? Life can be hard for us all, but there's always going to be suffering and pain especially to those who try to help bring happiness to the one they love.
"Michael…" Mimi's soft voice murmured. "Sure."
That was the last straw. I had lost her. I had lost the girl of my life, my hope, my dream. It was true, I did like her, no, not like, I LOVED her. My heart throbbed for her love. It was no use though because she's another person's girl.
"Congratulations!" everyone said and gave Mimi a hug and shook Michael's hand. All except for me.
"Yamato…" Mimi murmured softly. The way she says my name made me feel special, but too bad. I'm not special anymore.
I forced a smile onto my face and hugged Mimi warmly. "Congratulations Miss Tachikawa." I said with a smile. I turned to look at Michael.
"Congratulations Michael. You better take good care of Mimi, or else all of us won't let you get away." I said and shook his hand. Everyone laughed at my comment, but I was serious though I had a warm expression on my face. "Well, I better go clean up. See you guys later." I said and ran off. I could feel my face darken as tears welled up in my eyes. I didn't want to cry, but I wasn't able to keep it in anymore. Soon, I could feel my cheeks burn because of those tears. Tears of sadness and anger.
Hours later, I was found sitting at home, playing my guitar. I was supposed to go out for dinner with the others, but I said that I had some homework to finish. I sighed as I felt my heart continue to ache. How much I wanted to see Mimi and tell her how I love her so much. This crush on Mimi had existed for a while. It all began the day when I met her at camp though I wasn't TOO fond of pink, yet I got use to it later on. I can still remember my childhood and how I had a crush on Mimi Tachikawa.
