Chapter Two- Friends?



"I need you..."

"Who's there?"

"I need you to come with us..."

"Who are you? What do you want from me?"

"Mimi... Come with us..."

"No! Who are you?"

"Mimi..."



"Mimi! Wake up!"

"Huh?"

My eyes shot open, only to see Sora looking at me with an worried expression.

"Mimi, are you okay? You were screaming in your sleep." I slightly shook my head to think what had just happened. What's wrong with me? And what was that dream all about?

"I... I had a dream..."

"A dream?"

"Yeah." I looked to my left to see what time it was and I jumped out of my bed.

"Ah! Im going to be late for my work! Why didn't you wake me up earlier? And why didn't my alarm clock ring?"

"What? It's you who have to get up to go to work, not me! Also it's not my fault that you forgot to turn your alarm clock on."

"Ugh..." As I got ready to go to work, my mind was still on that dream. That dream felt so cold and...

"Oh shoot. Now Im really going to be late..." I grabbed a cup of coffee and ran out the door with my keys of course.




"I hope Im not too late..."

"Well hello Mrs. Tachikawa. We were just about to start our meeting."

"You mean Im not late?"

"Just take your seat." Jane Hamilton, my manager and also my friend just rolled her eyes.

"Ok now. Since Mrs. Tachikawa has arrived, lets start our meeting and also before we start, I want you to meet Mr. Yagami who is going to take my place after I move away."

What? This can't be? Taichi Yagami? He is going to be our new manager? Maybe Im just dreaming.

"Now why not we go around and tell Mr. Yagami a little bit about yourselves. Lets start with you, Mimi."

I nervously looked at Taichi, who used to be my boyfriend and also who I used to... be in love with... I still can't believe that's Taichi. Maybe I really am dreaming... But this doesn't feel like a dream at all...

"Uh... Im Mimi Tachikawa and... Im a designer manager..." I started to get pale and wanted to just run out of the room. Why did it have to him? Why?

I slowly looked at Jane and whispered that I wanted to stop talking.

Jane just nodded her head and told Mr. Yagami rest of myself for me. I was really uncomfortable talking in front of Taichi and I don't really know why. I mean, it's not like I still love him. Uh, right?

I knew that Jane knew all about what happened between me and Taichi so I guess that's why she said I can stop talking and besides, I know that Taichi knows a lot about myself.




After the meeting, Jane called me to her office. I quickly went up to her office wanting to know how Taichi has gotten to be the new manager. When I got in, I saw her sitting down on her desk with papers stacked every where. I guess she's getting ready to leave.

"Hey Mimi."

"Hey."

"I just wanted to know if you are ok about Taichi, I mean Mr. Yagami, being your knew manager and all that stuff. I mean all you did was cry and cry after you guys broke up."

"I don't know... Jane, do you really have to move? I don't want you to leave..."

"Mimi, lets not start this again."

"But Jane..."

"Mimi... It's not like Im dying or anything and we will still stay as good friends. Right?"

"Of course." I really didn't want Jane to leave. She has helped me a lot. One of them was when Taichi broke up with me...




It was snowing that day when I was on my way to the park because Yolei had said that she needed to tell me something. It sounded very important because I could tell that her voice was shaking.

When I got to the park, the first thing I saw was Taichi and Yolei kissing each other holding hands. I don't think they knew I was there. I got so mad and upset at the same time so I ran out of the park. I guess they must have heard me running because I heard them calling my name.

"Mimi! Wait!" I didn't turn around or look back as I ran to Izzy's house since that was the nearest place I knew could go.

I stayed at Izzy's until it became dark. Than I thanked Izzy for letting me stay and decided to go to Yolei's house to clear things up. Again, when I got there, I saw Taichi and Yolei together. This time I didn't run away and went straight up to them.

I looked at Taichi in the eyes and he just turned his head away from me like I was a disgusting monster. "Mimi... me and Yolei are together now... Im sorry but I don't love you any more..." After he had said that to me, my heart broke into a million pieces.

"Taichi..." I tried to get near him but he just pushed me away.

"Taichi, please. Look at me." He just backed away and stood next to Yolei.

Than without thinking, I threw my necklace at his face that he had given me for my 20th birthday.

"Mimi! How dare you?" I turned my attention to Yolei who looked like a mad, angry Digimon about to explode.

"I can't believe you did this to me Yolei. You lied to me... You said there was nothing going on between you and Taichi." I whispered to her.

"But Mimi! I love him!" She said to me. I looked at Taichi and he nodded his head saying that he loved her too. Than my vision got flurry as tears rolled down my cheeks.

"And Mimi! Taichi never loved you! He only loves me!" I was silent for awhile.

"How long have you guys been going out?"

"For... four weeks..." I couldn't believe what I had just heard. Why didn't he just broke up with me four weeks ago when they started going out instead of now? Was he just using me?

I stormed out the door not caring about anything. I thought he loved me... I really did but I was wrong.

The next day was even worst. I met Taichi and Yolei at the mall and me and Yolei had gotten into a little fight outside the parking lot. I didn't get hurt or anything but Taichi did... Yolei accidentally threw a rock at him by mistake at his arm which got broken. Yolei blamed me for breaking Taichi's arm and told him that I did it. Taichi believed Yolei of course so after that I never saw them again...




"Mimi, are you ok?"

"Huh?" I looked up and saw Jane looking at me worriedly just like Sora did this morning.

"Mimi, you are crying."

"I am?" I touched my cheeks and felt tears streaming down my face.

"What's wrong?"

"I... I was just thinking about the day that Taichi broke up with me..."

"Again? Mimi, you have to stop thinking about that day. You have to move on with your life."

"Move on? How can I move on if I have to see him every time Im at work? How can I move on when Im still in..." I quickly covered my mouth with my hands and looked at Jane who was smiling.

"Your still in love with him aren't you?"

I gave a loud sigh before answering. "Yeah... I guess so." She gave another smile.

"I knew it... Well you may go to your work now Mrs. Tachikawa."

"All right but where is Taichi, I mean Mr. Yagami be working these next couple of days?"

"He will be walking around the building meeting people and he will mostly work with me in the office."

"Ok than. I'll go back to my work now." When I went out the door, I saw Taichi walking straight up to me. I tried to turn but there was no corner so I just stood there as he came up to me.

"Hello Mimi. It's been a long time."

"Yes it has Mr. Yagami."

"You can just call me Taichi. I mean we are friends, right?"

Friends? I didn't want to be his friend. Besides how can we ever be friends again after what happened five months ago. And how could I be friends with him when I was in love with him?

"Friends..." I whispered. "Mr. Yagami, I don't need friends like you." Than I left without looking back as tears came rolling down my cheeks making my eyes red and watery.

I can't believe Im still in love with him! I know that he will never love me... Never.



End of Chapter Two. Sorry if there were any spelling mistakes. I was kind of in a hurry.
