All You Wanted.
I wanted, to be like you.
I wanted everything.
So I tried, to be like you.
And I got swept away..
I sighed, putting my hands behind my head as I walked down the halls of Odabia High. It was one the last days of school - since I'd be moving to America soon. And one of the last days of school there; it was raining. It seemed to me like it had been raining since I found out she had to move back. The only plus was that, I think, Taichi had finally got the hint that I liked him. Loved him. Since at Yamato's concert, I sang and dedicated a song to him. But I haven't talked to him since. Why? I don't know. Scared, I guess. Embrassed. That was Takeru's and Yamato's explanation for it, anyway.
"Mimi-chan!" I turned around, smiling a little as Sora ran up to me.
"Hey, Sora-chan."
"Where are you going?" Sora blinked, as the two of us started to walk together down the hall.
"Uh.. to find Taichi?"
".. I wouldn't do that, if I was you."
"Why not?" I blinked, looking from her my of the hall to my friend.
"Because I just saw him and Daisuke outside. Flirting. With a bunch of girls."
I didn't know that, it was so cold
And, you needed someone to show you the way.
So I took your hand and, we figured out that
When the tide comes I'd take you away..
"Dai, c'mon." Taichi whispered to me, pulling on my sleeve. He had one of the cheerleaders clinging onto his arm.
I laughed a bit at the attention I was getting from the girls, then looked up at him. "Why in the WORLD do you want to leave NOW?!" I whispered back.
"Because if Mimi sees me out here, she'll get the wrong idea."
"She probably already does."
"Why's that?"
"Because she's coming over here."
I shook my head as Taichi's eyes went wide, turning around to see Mimi walking over towards us. And boy, did she looked pissed. I nudged Taichi foward, ignoring all the girls who were now trying to talk to me and get my attention. He walked over to Mimi, rubbing the back of his head.
"Mimi, I.."
"Don't EVEN try and apologize, Yagami!" She hissed, glaring at him. She was crying. Mimi, out of all people, was crying. Over Taichi. I couldn't tell if it was because it was raining and she was soaked, or if she was really crying, but..
"It's not what you think..!" Taichi started, obviously getting annoyed.
"Oh really? Then explain to me why the HELL you're surrounded by girls, having the time of your frikkin life? Well?! Guess you can't, can you?" She rubbed her eyes, sniffling. "You know, I thought you were different, Taichi. I went out there and expressed my feelings to you, infront of the ENTIRE school..! And you don't even talk to me afterwards! I don't want anything to do with you, Taichi Yagami!" She pushed Taichi away from him, and ran off.
"DAMNIT!" Taichi screamed, kicking the grass infront of him and walking off.
I sighed. I felt bad for him, I really did. But then again, I was kinda happy. I'd had a crush on Mimi for a while now. I didn't want to tell Taichi, because Mimi obviously had feelings for him, so I kept it quiet. Besides, everyone still thinks I like Hikari. And I do! Except, I'm starting to get the drift she doesn't want anything to do with me. She loves stupid Takeru.
Guess I can't win, huh?
If you want to, I can save you.
I can take you away from here.
So lonely inside, so busy out there.
And all you wanted, was somebody who cares.
Damnit. Damnit damnit damnit! Why am I so stupid? I knew I should have talked to her. I knew I should told her how I felt. I'm scared too. Me, Taichi Yagami, afraid to talk to a GIRL! Who likes me! Maybe it's because last time I did that, Sora ended up dating Yamato. I recovered over that, but I don't think I could recover over something like that again. Mimi was going to America. I didn't want her to go, and I didn't know how to tell her that. So I just pushed her away. Didn't talk to her. And now, that had slapped me in the face.
I sighed, slipping the key through the keyhole to the apartment and walked in, throwing my soaking wet coat on the couch. Hikari blinked, looking up from the TV and arched a brow at me.
"You're soaked."
"Thank you, Captian Obvious."
"Daisuke called. He told me to tell you that Mimi's moving to America earlier. This'll be here last night here." she frowned, waiting for my reaction.
"Damnit!" I punched the wall, sighing.
She's leaving. She's leaving because of me. I can't let that happen. Not because of me.
I grabbed my jacket, putting it back on. "Where are you going?" Hikari questioned, arching an eyebrow at me.
"To Mimi's."
"Good luck, Oniichan." She smiled sadly at me.
"Arigato. I'm gonna need it." I pulled on my tennis shoes, and ran out the door.
I'm sinking slowly, so hurry hold me.
Your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on.
Please can you tell me, so I can finally see -
Where you go when your gone..
If you want to, I can save you.
I can take you away from here.
So lonely inside, so busy out there.
And all you wanted was somebody who cares.
"Mimi, come on. You called me over here to help you lug your stuff to the airport?" I groaned, leaning againest the door of Mimi's room.
"Yep. Takeru and Daisuke are coming over to help, too."
"Why didn't you call Taichi?"
"Taichi who?"
I blinked. Something obviously happened and I had no clue what it was. The Mimi I talked to before school let out was completly inlove with Taichi, who was my best friend. I helped her get the courage to open up for us at one of our concerts. And she sang for him.
"Mimi, what.."
"I don't want to talk about it, Yamato."
Door bell. "I'll get it, Mimi. It's probably Takeru and Daisuke." I walked over to her and gave her a hug. "You'll be okay, kid."
"Arigato, Yama-kun."
"No problem." I grinned at her, ruffling her hair before walking down the stairs of her house. I streched my arms, opening the door with an arched eyebrow.
It was Taichi. Soaking wet.
"What are YOU doing here, Ishida?" He blinked, looking at me with a shocked look.
"Helping Mimi pack. What the hell did you do to make her so upset?" I blinked, eyeing him. "She doesn't even want to tell me what happened."
"I didn't do anything! Daisuke was talking to these girls and I was with him, and.."
"You're stupid, Yagami."
He glared at me. I continued talking, "You know Mimi likes you! And you go and flirt with other girls? Kami, how dense can you be! She loves YOU, Taichi. She wants to be with YOU. Not someone else. Do you realize that?"
"Hai, demo.." He sighed, frowning.
"Demo nothing. You screwed up."
"Yamato! What's taking you so long with getting Dai and Ta.." I turned around to see Mimi walking down the stairs. She stopped, eyeing Taichi as her eyes started to water a bit.
"Mimi! I wanted too .."
"Apologize?" She rolled her eyes, smiling sadly. "Yeah, right. So when I move, you can have a cleared conscience about it all, right Taichi? Give me a break."
"That's not what I .."
"I don't care! I don't want to see you again, Taichi." She started crying, running up the stairs. I shook my head, looking back to Taichi.
"Try going to the airport tomorrow. She's leaving at 7:15."
".. Arigato, Yamato."
"Hey, no problem. Just don't screw up this time." I patted his shoulder, smiling weakly.
All you wanted was somebody who cares.
If you need me, you'll know I'll be there.
Oh, yeah..
If you want to, I can save you.
I can take you away from here.
( I can take you away .. )
So lonely inside, so busy out there.
And all you wanted was somebody who cares.
I sighed, sitting at the window seat and staring out at the rain. Blinking, I watched Taichi walk down the walk-way of my house. He looked sad. I sniffled a bit, continuing to watch him. He turned around, looking up to my window and smiled sadly. I pulled the curtains over, not wanting to see his face.
The sooner I left Odaiba, the better.
Please can you tell me,
So I can finally see.
Where you go when you're gone..
