*I am putting a song lyric in here so the lyric will be in brackets [ ]. This is my first attempt. Don't worry this is not going to continue. I simply put the lyrics in this chapter because it seems to fit. Well, if it sucks please don't kick my ass for this.
The song is called Heartbeat by Steps. As everyone knows, I don't own that song; I am just borrowing it for the story.
In My Dreams-Ch 15
I would have smacked her if I didn't have self-control. She just had to dig all the things in the past up and slap it back in my face. That was what friends were all about wasn't it? When people you faced no longer was your friends, you pretend to be friendly at them so if they lost control and do anything to you, it would be their fault. Being their best friend was the greatest advantage over them right? Because that meant that you knew the correct spot to step on to hurt them the most.
Memories of the past flooded back.
What the hell, we've promised each other a lot of things and these promises would never be fulfilled. Those damn memories---
Mai wrapped her arms around my shoulder as we walked to Willow Park. We once got onto our favourite swings, trying to compete with each other as to who would be able to go the highest.
What could I say? We were kids; we were satisfied with the simplest things.
Then we saw a couple walking, the woman had a baby in her hand.
"Looking at them makes me want to get married," Mai said.
I smiled, "it's not that easy to get marry you know. You need to find someone who is willing to spend the rest of his life with you."
Mai gave me a light punch, "Elle, you talk like I will never be able to find one in my life."
"Of course you will be able to find him," I smirked, "it's just a matter of time."
"Well, then I guess I'll have to start dating when I am young so I will be able to find the man of my dreams earlier."
I laughed, "You can't be serious right? Don't tell me your greatest goal in life is to become a housewife."
"What's wrong with that? I am going to marry a handsome rich husband that will love me for the rest of his life. What?"
I looked at her and gave a sad smile, "Nothing."
"Okay," Mai said enthusiastically as she jumped off her swing, "I've made up my mind. When we grow up, we'll be each other's bridesmaid! That way, even when we are apart in the future, we will be able to come back to each other."
I smiled, "sure." Sometimes, that was what I liked about Mai, her innocence.
"And when we are getting married in the future, no matter what happens, we will have to forgive each other and attend the wedding. Deal?" Mai asked as she extended her pinkie.
"Deal." I said as I hooked my pinkie and gave it a shake.
Mai could be so naïve at these kinds of situations. It would take her a few years before she could understand that you couldn't depend on anyone. Instead of depending on someone else, why not depend on yourself?
Finding a handsome man to marry was easy but finding a handsome man that had a lot of potential to become rich in the future was hard. These men are those who tend to have at least some kind of status, and in order to be able to marry them, you need to have some sort of status of your own. If not, you and he would be in two different worlds because your lifestyle would be completely different from his and you would never able to understand each other.
Therefore, in order to be able to marry a rich man, you need to upgrade yourself to his level. Upgrade so you would have the power to survive on your own even when the man left you. That was the belief I've held ever since I was a child. Probably that was why I've always felt more matured than Mai.
However, the promise we made seemed to be an ill omen because once we made that pact, her father showed up---
I looked at the present Mai and bit my lower lip. No, I wasn't able to forgive her. Forgiving would mean that I have already accepted everything, including the pain which I've felt. Forgiving required a lot of courage and I was never someone who had a lot of it.
I've still chose the easy out.
I chose to hate, because hating meant that I didn't have to face anything; that I didn't have to think, that I could just use one emotion to block out the rest of my perplexed emotions which I couldn't decipher.
I was only human; I had my weaknesses. I was just trying to find the way which I could live in this world without so much anguished and confusion.
Even if the decisions I've made weren't the best ways to solve the problem.
'Psycho' must have noticed a change in me because he wanted to wrap his arms around my but I stepped away from him.
"Why don't you guys talk and get to know each other more." I smiled before I turned and walked quickly away from them.
I didn't know what I was feeling. I was glad that 'psycho' came, but at the same time, I wanted to push him as far away from me as possible. What he said about he being my fiancé made me feel pressured yet relieving. I wasn't ready for a commitment and I doubted that I would ever be.
I looked at them, they make a good couple. After all, one was born in the wrong sex and the other had a split personality. With that thought, I managed to smirk. I walked further away from them, toward the buffet table and got myself a glass of whisky. God knew how much I wanted to get myself drunk at this moment. However, that was almost impossible, I was used drinking, I was a bartender after all. A couple of glasses of whisky or vodka won't even have an effect on me.
Just then, a sick idea came into mind. The reason 'psycho' would not let me go back to Canada was because --- oh I didn't know. However, if there were to be another woman to replace my place, then, by chance, I would be able to go back to Canada. I would no longer need to stay in this place. I could then be able to get out of here, get out of this place, to somewhere far far away---a place where I would be able to forget this night.
If he fell in love with some other person; if the person is Mai---
I smirked at my thoughts. At least I was not thinking about the past anymore. I walked to a seat and sat down. I continued to watch Mai and 'psycho' as they carried on with their conversation. I jabbed the fork into the spring roll and took a bite.
Mai and 'psycho' were chatting; occasionally I could see Mai laughing at god-knows-what. Personally, I didn't find anything that would make 'psycho' as one of the joking types. Either she was faking it or 'psycho' never bothered to tell me a joke. If he could make everyone around him so happy, then why did he have to make me feel pressured?
I saw Mai offering 'psycho' her hand, 'psycho' took it and both of them headed toward the dancing floor, which was in the middle of the room. I froze, I felt a sense of betrayal, yet this feeling wasn't strange to me.
In fact, I've felt this feeling before.
It was the time when I saw Anthony and Mai walked into the bar.
Why would I be feeling this?
Then as if it was god's willed; a slow music started to play. I listened to the rhythm and the sound of the singers' voices as the room darkened. Spotlights were shining on the silver ball, making the room look as if it was filled with stars.
[Here I am just longing for you once again, If your arms would only let me in, You'd see the mess I'm in,]
I watched as other people find their partner. Everyone was dancing happily around the dance floor, all except me. I was once again back to my invisible self. All of a sudden, the food on the plate didn't taste as good as before anymore. I slowly put my fork down, picking up my glass, I started to drink.
[I have dreamed your heart will come and rescue me, Oh baby set me free, Only your love can win,]
I looked around the place once again; so elegant, so spectacular, something that I would never see if I didn't come here with 'psycho'. I felt so out- of-place. It had hit me that I was one of those self-conscious types--- until now.
A waiter came by and refilled my cup with vodka.
[You are only a heartbeat away, Baby and my love one day will find you it will remind you, When it comes your way]
I've never felt so alone in the world before. My eyes unconsciously followed 'psycho' and Mai as they danced. They seemed to be the center of attention; everyone was looking at them, including me. They looked so perfect for each other; they had almost the same financial status and had the similar power of influence in the economy. If this continues, I wouldn't be surprised that they would start dating each other soon.
[oh when it comes your way.]
Then the words of what her father said years ago lingered in my mind. Maybe it was for the best that we don't be friends anymore. After all, she was rich and had everything while I was---
The irony of life, I was the one who vowed to get into university, yet it was me who wasn't able to do so the end.
But---
[Here I am my heart in the palm of your hand, Your every wish is my command, Darling understand,]
But if they were so made for each other, then---
[If I live a lie, Then all my dreams are doomed to die, Oh baby just let me try, To have my heart's desire.]
Then why did it hurt so much? Why was I so angry? Why was I---regretting?
I looked at the empty wine glass confusedly and motioned another waiter to refill my glass with red wine.
[You are only a heartbeat away, Baby and my love one day will find you it will remind you, When it comes your way oh when it comes your way,]
Suddenly watching them dancing together seemed mocking. The so call 'plan' which I've came up didn't seem to matter anymore. Why?
[Ooh but my feelings are in vain, Just like feelings they won't go away,]
I felt bitter; Mai was always able to get the best of everything. Emotions swirled within me, ready to consume me. I didn't know what I wanted anymore. I wanted to get 'psycho' out of my way, yet now I---What was happening to me? I should be happy goddamn it!
[My love remains, In my heart we'll always stay.]
I put down my plate of food; I walked toward the buffet table and started to refill my own cup with different types of liquor again and again.
[You are only a heartbeat away baby, And my love one day will find you,]
I watched as the dim lights hit the yellow liquid in my glass. Why was I getting so worked up over this? I've wanted nothing more than to have 'psycho' out of my way. Therefore, I could go back to the life I had before, where everything was organized, everything would remain the same and never change.
It must have been either the alcohol or the song.
I should've never agreed to work for him. I should've stayed in school. The student exchange program was a three year program. I should be staying at some dude's home, going on the internet everyday after class and chat with my friends on msn until it was time for me to work. Not here.
[It will remind you, When it comes your way oh when it comes your way,]
Not here where I had to watch him dancing with the woman I hate.
[You are always in my heart to stay baby, Love comes once in a lifetime, I think its high time, Our hearts beat as one---]
Then it became clear.
Could it be that I had unconsciously fell for 'psycho'?
I should've known, I did everything to prevent this. 'Psycho' was everything I was trying to avoid in my life. I thought I was being careful, I thought I was able to block him out with the walls I've built around me. Why? What did he do? How could he be able to by-pass the fortress which took me so long to build around me?
We didn't even know each other for a long time damn it!
I suddenly had the urge to laugh, because I had just pushed 'psycho' to Mai.
And I just HAD to find this out after they were together.
I was the one who gave him away!
I didn't know what I wanted anymore, I felt lost, as if I were in a maze. I---It was too late to regret now was it?
I gave a sad smile as I finally put down my empty glass. That was it; I was getting out of here. I didn't want to take this shit anymore. All these shit was really taking a strain on me. I wasn't one of those people who would fight to win over a guy. As I have said before, I wanted a relationship that I didn't have to grasp for, something that would belong to me no matter what.
Why the hell did I suddenly care about 'psycho' so much anyway? I didn't know him for a long time. I would be able to get over him since I wasn't in too deep. Then, he would just revert back to be my employer and I would be his employee, nothing more, nothing less. This would be the best scenario, everything going back to the way it was before.
Before I realized that 'psycho' actually meant something to me.
I stood up, and my legs felt shaky. Before I could think properly, I fell backward, only to found somebody supporting my back. I gave my head a shake and I looked up, he was some man in his mid-fifties. He, just like everyone else except 'psycho' was wearing a suit. He wasn't anyone I could recognize.
I blinked as my left hand went to my head. I felt gush of blood rushing to my head and I felt hot all over. I tried to push myself off from him, only to fail because his arms were wrapped tightly around my waist.
"Are you alright miss?" He asked.
"I think I've drink too much for my own good." I smiled weakly. "In fact, I am planning to leave."
I knew that I was drunk; I was good in drinking but I've mixed all the alcohol together. I was so stupid, I should've known better.
"Well miss, I am planning to leave also, if you want, I can drive you home."
"It's really alright." I said as I tried to remove myself from his grip. "Thanks for the offer." Even though I was drunk, I was somewhat sober. Did he think that I am an idiot? Who knew what would happen if I were to leave with him. I didn't even know him.
"You can let go of me now thank you." I said, a little out of breath. I grabbed his hand and tried to pry him off but failed once again. Damn it, a few drinks would not make me this weak. What the hell is happening to me?
He ignored my demand and pulled me toward the exit.
Oh shit.
I tried to kick him only to realize that the reason why I was still standing up-straight was because I was leaning onto him. Weird, I could still think properly yet my body was losing strength.
"You---dru--drugged---me?"
"What do you think? I've been watching you for the whole night." He gave me a smile that chilled me to the bones, "Seto Kaiba seems to care about you a lot. You are his weakest link. I wonder how he would react if he finds out that you are missing."
He dragged me across the room, toward the exit. Everyone was looking at us, yet they were not doing anything about it.
I looked around as we were closer and closer to the exit. Fuck I didn't come here to be taken away! All the images of girls being kidnapped and raped popped into my mind.
Great, that just made me felt better, thank you brain. However a question lingered.
"Should you take Mokuba instead? He is his brother." Everyone knows that 'psycho' loves his brother more than anything.
"Just doing what I am paid to do." By then, I was dragged down the stairs that were outside of the mansion.
Then without thinking, a word came out of my mouth; the very word that was my only hope to safety.
"Se--SETO!"
At that very moment, I felt a jerk as the man who was pulling me fell to the ground. Just as I was going to fall down with him, I felt someone grabbing me by my arm, pulling me up. My back hit something solid as someone was drew me within his arms.
"I believe that she doesn't want to go with you."
I smiled faintly, so he did come and rescue me after all. I felt the warmth of his body and I had never felt so safe in my life. It was as if he was able to support the world even when it was collapsing, like he would be able to take care of all my problems.
I knew I couldn't depend on him forever but it felt damn comforting to just rely on him for this moment.
I slowly relaxed as I found myself having difficulties keeping my eyes open. I felt the warmth of his body as he stood close behind me. My head rested on his left shoulder.
I didn't even know when I lost my consciousness.
[Our hearts beat as one.]
++++++++++++++++++++

"Se--SETO!"
At that very moment, I felt a jerk as the man who was pulling me fell to the ground. Just as I was going to fall down with him, I felt someone grabbing me by my arm, pulling me up. My back hit something solid as someone was drew me within his arms.
"I believe that she doesn't want to go with you."
I smiled faintly, so he did come and rescue me after all. I felt the warmth of his body and I had never felt so safe in my life. It was as if he was able to support the world even when it was collapsing, like he would be able to take care of all my problems.
I knew I couldn't depend on him forever but it felt damn comforting to just rely on him for this moment.
I slowly relaxed as I found myself having difficulties keeping my eyes open. I felt the warmth of his body as he stood close behind me. My head rested on his left shoulder.
I didn't even know when I lost my consciousness.
[Our hearts beat as one.]
