She smiled as she got lost in Joey's eyes, the ones she use to know. She held the hamburger in her hands staring out at Joey lost in her thoughts. " Man, he's a lot like Joey. But if Joey saw me he'd probably tell me to get lost, and that this isn't what he meant by change. I was really hurt when we got into that argument, and after that I booked a flight and left him a note saying I'd leave and never come back. But here I am with a broken heart, trying to find the guy I was once head of heels with." She got lost in her thoughts as her pale fingers played with the end of the straw, as Joey saw her calm, and never did she seem so quiet or concentrated on anything. "He probably won't know me anymore." Joey sat there across from her as he had the burger steady in his hand, ready to throw down everything that was there, and he was capable of doing it. "She seems so quiet for some reason. I know I haven't been with her that long, but usually she is all over the place, enjoying herself and everyone around her." Joey felt bad seeing her sorrowful face stare out into the rainy street, like the night had felt when she had to leave. Joey waved his hand in front of her face, "You alright?" He repeated himself until he saw a tear stream down her face which had escaped. She felt the tear run down her face and her hands gently touched her face. " I'm crying over him.. He probably thinks I'm pretty sad crying over the person I once loved.. He made me feel so great, and he made me feel so happy,I wish Joey was here to fix this all up."

Mai didn't know, or could tell her wish was already made. If Joey knew the girl he had met once again, he was would so happy to see her and have his arms open wide for Mai, and she would be grateful to see his face, and be crushed to know he had a girlfriend. Joey slowly wiped the tear of her face, as she felt Joey's warm hands wipe the tear off. "Come on, I never seen you cry. What's getting you so upset?" She bit little by little of her food, and looked up at Joey's calm eyes that seemed so much to care about her. "Well that guy that told me to loosen up..." Joey had a smile on his cheek as he drank the last of his drink slowly on the table. "Listen, I know it was probably hard enough for you to hear that from him.. and maybe it was a crazy argument you two had. But you missed out because of what he said. But believe me, he'd be glad to see you back, I would if the girl that disappeared I once liked did. Don't worry believe me, hopefully you'll see him again, and catch up on everything. He'd open his arms for you. After what you told me about him anyways."

Mai lifted her head up as Joey smiled making her feel much better, and feeling her regular self again. She played with her chain and looked up at Joey, with an eyebrow raised and a smile. "For a guy I just met at a bar, seems like you know a lot about me... and how to handle problems like this. For a blonde, your not that dumb..." Mai smiled, as Joey glared at her. " Well blondes are good in bed at least!!" Mai covered her mouth and laughed the hardest she had ever done in awhile. "Well I was once a blonde, so what does that say?" Joey smiled and played with the ends of his bangs. " Your dumb and good in bed like am I?" Joey put on a smile, as Mai shook her head and laughed, and stared at Joey's face. Joey waved his hand infront of her face. "Hello?!" Mai shook her head, and played with her black pieces of hair. "Sorry, you remind me so much about that guy. The way he made me laugh, just the dumb things he'd say and do. Even though he got embarrassed infront of a pretty blonde girl I once was. I treated him so badly, I didn't give him enough credit for anything." Joey sat there listening steadily to her problems no matter what it was about. Joey sipped his drink turned to the window, and back at her pale white face and stared at the punk beauty that was swallowed by chains and tattoos. "Well how did the argument start? Nothing just starts like that..." Mai huffed and twirled her hair, as much as she hated explaining her memories he wanted to listen, and to her he seemed like the only one who really cared about her.

" It was the night after I decided to leave him and his friends. To me I didn't feel wanted or cared about, considering I was hated for my annoying behavior and how I put myself before others and treated others like they were nothing but dirt. Even to the guy I liked.. He watched me disappear and decided to run after me and try to change my mind of leaving. I told him I didn't feel wanted, and after what I put him through he still wanted to be around me. I considered changing my mind and we hung for abit until the whole night I decided to drink and he was concerned about how I was acting. I told him off when he told me I should quit drinking and tried to be a friend to me. So, I got all mad at him telling him off, because I was going to live the life I wanted.

So he was fed up with me and we were at each other's throats. "I like you, can't you see I'm trying to help you?! I've always cared about you but you know what maybe everyone else was right about you. All you are is a little bitch living her happiness only through your money and fame. But you never seem happy never! You wonder why half of us come to hate you. You treat us like there was no one else important in the world than you! I've bended backwards for you, to be a friend and help you because no body else would!." I didn't listen to his words at all, I just fought back saying the only reason he helped me because he felt sorry for me. "Maybe you should loosen up!! You'll never change the fact that this is who you are, and you'll always be this person." I began to cry tears as he walked away as I drove away leaving him a note saying I'd never return to see them ever again. He wanted me to change, and I realized what I horrible person I was to all of them. So I changed, and I have come back to prove I have for the better."

Joey saw the tears and got up slowly and wiped the tears once again from her cheek, and thought to himself. "Wait.. this seems all familiar to me like this happened with me and Mai when we got into that fight... But it can't be. Mai would never change into this, she would be somewhere rich with everybody would bend backwards for her. As much as I loved her she never seemed to care, and I wish she didn't leave because of what happened. If I hadn't gotten mad at her and frustrated I wouldn't had said those things that made her leave and be on her own like she once was. I regret that I ever did that. Mai, I wish I could see you again believe me if you were here I'd be with you in a heartbeat..."

Mai huffed as her tears slowly stopped streaming down her face. She was quiet for while as she was alone in her thoughts, thankful for him being there for her even though it was hard for her, and she had never gotten over Joey at all. Joey smiled and grabbed her by the hand and threw out whatever was left. "Believe me, I'd believe that guy would be happy to see you again. I know I would, I mean after all what I told you about what happened between me and that girl. Were in the same spot, and I understand everything, even if anyone else doesn't." Mai turned her head away as the blushed expression on her face soon faded as they walked out the door. The rain drenched both of them as the cars drove by splashing only Mai, and Joey was sure she was about to blow, but instead she laughed. Joey smiled as he walked down the street with her. " we should be going home soon. He raised an eyebrow as Mai was hiding something underneath just by that look. "Ya we should. It's getting late anyways. You don't mind tomorrow night do you?" Joey thought for awhile. " Maranda... I forgot all about her I've been so caught in her I've forgotten my own girlfriend. Well Maranda is probably mad as hell I might as well get back to her know, and forget I was attached to this girl." He smiled, "Tomorrow Night? " Mai played with her lip ring and cut him off. "Well you know you can stop by at the bar I will be there tonight. And we'll go from there.." They walked there separate ways, with Joey falling in love with this "mysterious" girl and having his girl friend on the other hand.

Mai could only look forward, feeling abit relaxed after having her conversation with him about what happened between her and Joey and how it all started. "Finally, a guy who understands me." She said weakly with a smile. She knew the guy she had met Jake, had ruined everything for her, that made her run back to the one she truly loved, Joey. She got to her drag down apartment walking down the quiet hallway with the wallpaper falling apart, opening to her run down room she could only get. After talking she thought about Joey as she laid on her bed listening to her music that relaxed her mind of break ups and the things she was going through. She fisted her hands against the wall just thinking about her resecent boyfriend made her sick!

" I hate you Jake, after all you've done.!" He had met this fun loving, blonde bad boy when she had left and went to New York. He was a fun loving guy that always made loving jokes, the type of guy that would hurt you and make you feel to run back for more. She felt so safe in his arms, having the type of guy she always felt she wanted, when really she knew she wanted Joey back. She could still her the whispers of him in her ear saying how much he loved her, but that was all a lie that crushed her to transform herself.
