By: Hikari*Chan
Matt laid on his bed thinking. 'So that's why she left? She had another guy? AGH this is so confusing' Matt's brain screamed at him. He sighed and shut his eyes entering a memory that hurt him more then anything.
~*~Flashback 3 Years ago~*~
"Yama?" A girl with shoulder length brown hair, and chocolate brown eyes whispered as she rolled over on to her side facing the man she loved.
"Hmmm" was the replay from a tall blue eyed man who at the time was just waking up from an eventful night.
"I need to tell you something."
"Later.can't it wait till morning." The man replied shoving his face in the pillow.
"Yama it is morning."
"No.its 7.still night time in Yama world.Morning doesn't come until 10." The brunet let put a long sigh as she dispersed from the she was sharing with the blond man. As she got up she felt a sudden tensing pain in her stomach which traveled to her throat. She made a run to the bathroom. Yamatto opened his eyes as he herd gagging sounds emerging from the bathroom. He got out of bed and entered the bathroom to see Mimi kneeling next to the toilet, her head bowing over the top of the bowl. One hand holding her brunet hair up the other clutching the bowl.
"Mimi your sick!" Yamatto cried as he sunk down to her level. "Here." He said as he replaced her hand that was holding her hair up with his. She gave him a brief smile before gagging again. He rubbed her back methodically, hoping to somehow ease the pain. "How do you feel?" Yama asked as soon as she finished. Her replay was a simple glare. "Well I suppose that answers my question." Mimi sighed as Yama helped her to her feet. He tucked her in bed and went to work. When he returned that night he saw Mimi in the kitchen, her long brunet hair put up in a pink ribbon, a small pink dress fit tightly to her slender body, and a white cotton apron was tied tightly to her waist as she continued chopping onions. "Feeling better I see." Yama smiled as he entered the kitchen.
"Hey honey, yes much better, how was work?"
"It would good, but it would have been better if my number one cashier had been there." Mimi smiled and kissed Yamatto's cheek. Though they were both sophomores in college they worked, Yamatto was a shift leader at a grocery store and Mimi was a cashier. The two had moved off campus to love together, (which is why they both had jobs.) their apartment was small four rooms, one bedroom, one bathroom, one kitchen combination dinning room. FYI they stuck a table in the center of the dinky kitchen, and a finally a living room. They had barley enough money to furnish their apartment after they paid the rent and buying groceries. What they did have was a terrible. In the family room was an old beat up couch that they bought for 50$ at a yard sale, a card board box served as a stand for the lamp that sat on it, a small table supported a 13 inch television. The White carpet stained from the previous tenets. Three pictures hung on the walls; one of Mimi's family, one of Yamatto's family before his parents got married. And finally one of their friends themselves, Taichi holding Sora as if he were cradling a baby, Kari was on Takeru's back both with gins on their faces, Ken was dipping Yolei romantically, Jun clinging to Joes left side, Davis, Cody, and Izzy are all back to back with their girlfriends. and in the center of all this madness were Matt and Mimi, Matt had his arms around her waist and Mimi was kissing matt's cheek.
There bedroom consisted of nothing more then a 4 poster bed, to dressers that held Mimi's clothing, Matt's were hung in the closet and cubbies, that were swarmed by Mimi's many dresses, skirts and gowns. There bathroom was a simple one shower, no bathtub, a toilet, mirror, and sink. The walls were painted pink as you may have guessed. The bathmat was a towel. The kitchen was made up of a refrigerator, stove and cupboards that came with the apartment. Stuck in the middle of this dinky kitchen was a small round pine table with two chairs on either side. They had barley anything and yet they couldn't be happier. They attended college which they both received scholarships for. Despite the fact Mimi made dumb blonde statements at times she was acutely quiet intelligent and worked hard for her grades. As a result of her hard work and dedication she was granted a full scholarship to the University of Tokyo, New York University, France's premier designer school: Antoinette'l'école de Dessinateur de s pour l'Artiste'le s de l'avenir (Antoinette's Designer school for the Artist's of the future) and Kyoto university. Matt on the other hand only received a partial scholarship his parents generously paid for the rest. The reason he received the scholarship was not for academics but for the fact he was a member of a popular band and they had wanted to attract more students. He decided to Tokyo University because of the scholarship, this enabled his parents to not have to pay as many bills. He had been accepted to just about every college he applied to except New York University. When he informed Mimi he was going to be attending Tokyo University she declined her opportunity to attend Antoinette'l'école de Dessinateur de s pour l'Artiste'le s de l'avenir, to be with Matt. Her decision didn't go over well with her parents but then again it wasn't anything they hadn't expected, Mimi and Matt had been dating since the middle of seventh grade right about the time Mimi was boosted up from 6th to 7th grade. Although Matt was overjoyed with the thought of Mimi joined him he was also heart broken that he was the cause of her never going to the college of her choice.
"Yamatto we need to talk." Mimi said as she set down the chopping knife and wiping her hands on her apron.
"About?"
"Yama.I've been thinking, and I was wondering." Mimi sat down at the table and rested her hands on the table, she looked down at her ring less hands, she then looked back up at Yamatto smiling lightly. "how do you feel about us settling down and starting a family?" Yamatto's eyes widened he hadn't given the idea nuch thought, in all honesty the thought scared him.
"Well.ya. see." Matt's face held a look of distress Mimi nodded.
"I thought as much."
"Mimi"
"No Yamatto."
"Mimi don't be like that."
"Like what?"
"Pretending you fine when your pissed."
"I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"No I'm not."
"Yes"
"No I'm not and how would you know Matt? Do you live inside my head? No you don't!" Mimi screamed.
"Well I've been your boyfriend for 8 years, and so Yes I might as well live inside your head!" Mimi's eyes filled with tears.
"Matt I have to go away"
"What? Go away what do you mean?"
"Matt promise me you'll wait for me."
"Mimi what's going on?" Mimi bit back tears, and reverted her attention to a pot holder instead of Yamatto's face.
"Just say you'll wait for me"
"Whaterver it is Mimi I'll follow you, I'll come with you."
"You Can't!"
"But Why, Mimi?"
"Matt please don't make this any harder than it is.just say you'll wait for me."
"Mimi" He looked at her with his blue eyes he knew she was serious and it wasn't going to go his way. "I'll wait for you.." Matt said as tears streamed down his face. Mimi got up from her seat and kissed Yamatto's lips passionately. When she separated from him she placed a small pink rose in Yamatto's hand and closed it. She departed to her bedroom and began to shove clothing into a suitcase. Thirty minutes later she emerged from the bedroom carrying the bags. Her face stained with tears. She had called a taxi and was waiting for it to arrive, she sat on the couch crying. Matt came to her side.
"Why do you have to leave?"
"Matt I don't want to, but if I stay it'll ruin both our lives."
"What do you mean?"
"Matt I love you, I will love you form now and forever. I'll be back one day.and when I come back will you be waiting for me?"
"Of corse I will be!" He said right before kissing her. She pulled away.
"The taxi's here I have to go." She got up, but was pulled back down.
"Mimi.here." Matt handed her an envelope. "read it when you get on in the taxi." Mimi nodded as she walked out the door. Matt watched her leave the apartment and get into the taxi. When her Taxi was so far out of sight it couldn't be seen anymore Matt collapsed. Three hours went by. Matt dialed Mimi's parents home assuming that's where she had gone.
"Hello Mrs. Taichiwa?"
"Hello Matt, how are you?" The perky voice bounced on the other line.
"Not real well I'm afraid, I was wondering is Mimi avaible?"
"No.Matt shes not here why would she be here if she went to New York to study."
"New York?"
"Youi mean to tell me she didn't tell you?"
"No.I came home she said she wanted to talk to me so we did and she wanted to know how I felt about getting married and starting a family and I didn't answer. The next thing I know she was telling me to wait for her and packing her things. Then she left. She left all her ball gowns and everything so I assumed she went with you for a while." Matt said not able to breath.
"Oh dear!"
"Do you have his number?"
"NO.not yet but when I get it you'll be the 1st to know it!"
"Thanks!"
~*~End*Flash*Back*~*
Matt gently fingered the petals of an old dried up pink rose. Tears stained his face.
" I love you Mimi."
