"Mimi!"
Slowly opening her eyes, she was blinded by the florescent lights above her. "Ugh, what's going on?"
Her friends faces peered down anxiously at their fallen friend. Mimi realized she was still in the morgue, lying on the linoleum floor.
"Stress. You got too worked up when you discovered it wasn't Matt. You kind of passed out." Sora replied, pulling her friend to her feet. Embarrassed, Mimi glanced away. So they hadn't really found Matt. It was all a dream. Then it registered with her that Sora had stated it wasn't Matt's body.
"He's alive?" She asked timidly, making sure she had heard right.
Sora nodded. "Well, at least this isn't him. He's still missing."
Mimi turned on her heal and quickly rushed out. She knew where to go. She ran as fast as her legs would carry her. Of course they hadn't checked this one place. It was only a place that Mimi and Matt knew about. It was their refuge, there own little get-away to escape from everyday life.
Flying into the park, she sprinted across the soccer field into the woods, and veered off the path. Dashing through the trees, ducking to avoid low branches. She finally arrived at a small opening in a rock face. Sliding in, she noticed that light was bouncing off the inside of the cave walls.
She ran even faster, skidding around the corner, straight to the source of the light. The lantern dangled from the hook on the wall, and right below it sat Matt on the mattress they had hauled in there. He sat up startled.
"Mi…" He was cut off by Mimi tackling him into a hug. Sobbing, she hugged him tighter, afraid that if she let go, he would disappear.
"Hey, calm down. What's the matter? Did someone do something to you? I'll kill…" Matt stroked her hair, noticing that she had lapsed in her usual care of her appearance. He looked down at her, and noticed how raged, and depressed she seemed, but also caught the huge amount of relief seeping out of her.
"Matt, thank you! Thank you! I was so scared!" Mimi sobbed, her grip tightening even further.
"Whoa, ease up there, Mi. Want to let me in on what's going on here?" Matt prodded gently.
"You were dead!" She cried, burying her face into his chest.
"I was what?!" Matt exclaimed, obviously confused.
Trying to compose herself as much as possible, she explained to him all that had happened, leaving out the obvious detail that she was going to confess that she loved him.
"I would never leave you or the others. I promised you I wouldn't leave you alone. You're my best friend Mi, I wouldn't go back on my word. You know I come out here for days at a time when things at home get too much to deal with. Why didn't you come check here?"
"I didn't think of it 'til after I saw that the body wasn't yours." Mimi replied sheepishly. "I guess I was too overcome with grief, at the thought of never seeing you again…" At those words, Mimi broke down again.
"Hey, it's ok. I'm here now Mi."
I was just so worried, and scared. And I never got to tell you that I love you. I couldn't bare the thought of you never knowing that." Mimi's face reddened after realizing what she had just said, and returned her face to his chest.
He cupped her chin, and gently her face to his, smiling coyly. "You think I never knew?" And with that, he kissed her.
