Chapter 5
[Mimi's POV]
Kevin glared at Tai. Seconds had turned into minutes and they were still positioned like that. It felt awkward to stand between two guys who were glaring each other madly. It looked as if they were about to eat each other any minute. As time was passing, I began to felt fear. I could feel that this wasn't going to be pretty. This was going to be bad. Then Kevin finally spoke up.
"So, Mimi who's this guy with a big animal on his head?" Kevin couldn't help but laugh at his own corny joke.
"Hey! That's my hair!" Tai replied touching his hair. I glared at Kevin.
"Kevin! He's my friend, Tai," I said to Kevin as I looked up to him. Oh no! Kevin's going to start over again. He's going to do what he did with Koushiro and me. What am I going to do? I thought as Kevin looked as if he was ready to beat Tai. You could see a hint of anger in those dangerous eyes of his.
"What did I tell you about going out with guys huh?" Kevin said as he raised his voice, "Where were you? I was calling you but you weren't there!"
I looked up to him, scared. I didn't know what to say. It felt as if my throat was clogged with something, preventing me to say something. What if I said something that could trigger Kevin's violent side? I started trembling… trying my best to step back but my legs were stiff… frozen. It felt as if it was planted on the ground, unable to move. What was I going to say?
"Hey! Leave her alone! We were just having a simple lunch!" Tai said backing me up.
He shouldn't have done that. He's going to make Kevin angrier! I thought as I bit my lower lip.
"Or what? What are you going to do huh pretty boy?" Kevin said as he laughed at what Tai said. This made Tai angrier. I could see it in his eyes.
"I'm not your pretty boy," Tai fought back. I wanted to run away… away from this problem.
"Whatever you say, punk. Now scram or else it'll get ugly up in here," Kevin spat at Tai in his face. I could feel danger coming this way. Then… it happened.
"First of all… I'm not a punk. Second… you can't tell me to scram. Third… you don't want to see the bad side of me." Tai said angrily as the same level of Kevin's voice. This was the last straw for Kevin. There's no more argument… but violence.
"Why you-"Kevin said as he reached Tai's face with his fist. I watched in horror. I closed my eyes thinking that Kevin would punch Tai's face already. What would I do when I'm going to find Tai hurt and Kevin standing over him? This was too much for me…
I then opened my eyes only to see Kevin's fist in Tai's hand in the air. Tai had defended himself. I felt relief come over me. Then Kevin used his free hand to punch Tai's stomach. Tai clutched his stomach and fell to the ground.
"Tai!" I screamed and ran over to Tai. I looked at him in horror. He looked up to me with no emotion. Tears started to shed in my eyes. This is my entire fault. I shouldn't have gone out with Tai. If I hadn't Tai wouldn't have gotten hurt. I thought as I saw Tai in pain. Why did this have to happen to me; out of all people in the world… why me? I can't stand all this. I can't stand it at all. I just want to live a perfectly normal life. I closed my eyes and buried my head in my hands, not wanting to think about what's going to happen next.
[Tai's POV]
I couldn't bear to see Mimi cry. This was my entire fault. If I hadn't lead Mimi to go out with me, this wouldn't of happen. Now her boyfriend is mad at her because of me. I thought as I say Mimi sobbing while I clutched my stomach. I didn't want to see a tear shed slowly out of her beautiful hazel eyes. I couldn't resist but used my other hand to put my hand on her silky, soft face.
Mimi stopped crying and looked at me when she felt me hand. She looked at me with those fearful eyes. I wanted to tell her that everything was going to be alright and that there will be nothing to ever worry about. All of this was interrupted by Kevin.
"Don't touch my girl, you dirty fool," Kevin said angrily when he saw me trying to comfort Mimi. With, one last touch, he kicked me in the spot where he punched me. I yelled in pain and held the spot very tightly, wanting the pain to go away. It just felt like it was growing. Mimi started to cry all over again, while he continued to glare at me.
"That should teach you not to mess with me, pretty boy," Kevin shouted in my face. I was beginning to feel my anger rise. But, before I could do something, he turned to Mimi who was crying silently. "Come on Mimi, let's leave this loser."
Mimi just continued crying not lifting her head from her hands. It was as if she didn't hear Kevin calling for her. This, made Kevin angry of course so he tried again. Kevin got impatient so he grabbed one of her arms and tried his best to drag her.
"I said let's go! What part of let's go did you not understand?" Kevin shouted, trying to pull Mimi up. From there, I wanted to punch Kevin right in the face. How could he just drag Mimi like that? That's no way to treat your girlfriend! Even when it's Mimi! I took a glance at Mimi; she looked horrible. Her eyes were all red and puffy from crying.
Trying my very best, I lifted myself, testing if I could move. That's when I felt pain seeping through my stomach. I couldn't move… I couldn't help Mimi. I felt sorry for her but I couldn't defend her or even hold her. I wanted to comfort her and tell her everything was going to be alright, but I couldn't.
Mimi took one last look of me and walked out with Kevin… actually being dragged by him. I was just lying there, in pain, holding my stomach. Then it started to rain. Great… how can this be worse? I thought.
I sighed and got myself to walk to my car… more like limping painfully. While trying my best to drive, thoughts were killing me. There wasn't anything else I was thinking or worried about but one… Mimi.
[Mimi's POV]
Kevin dragged me away from Tai. I can't believe I actually left him there… in pain. I mean he probably hates me now… I left him! What kind of person am I? I mean anything could happen with him lying there. He could… die. I shuddered at the thought and tried to convince myself that everything would be alright… Tai is a strong guy. He can take care of himself.
I didn't stop crying which probably annoyed Kevin because I heard him sighed in annoyance. I kept my head in my hands, I couldn't see because my vision was blurred with tears that were shedding uncontrollably. I didn't know where we were going… I didn't care. I was being such a bitch to leave Tai in such condition as his.
"Now for you," Kevin said angrily, breaking the silence, "What did I tell you before about guys huh?" I just sat there, transfixed, not knowing how to reply. I was thinking desperately on what to say…
"I'm- I'm s- sorry," I chocked out. Kevin used his free hand and slapped me. I reached out a trembling hand to touch the spot he slapped me. It felt hot… it felt as if it was burning into my delicate skin.
"Sorry… isn't going to handle it," Kevin said with an evil grin on his face, "I warned you last time… that was the last straw, Mimi. Now it's the consequences for your actions." He finished off… knowing that he was grinning. I felt that something was going on… he was going to do something. I felt the car stopped. I was trying to look around my surroundings but couldn't since the tears were blocking. I didn't care anyways, where I was or what was going to happen to me. But… there was a certain thing that I did care about.
Tai.
A/N; Aww… they're both thinking about each other. Hold tight for the next chapter which will be more angst and violence so if you're 'under-aged' don't read it. Anyways… what's going to happen to Mimi? What about Tai? What's Kevin going to do? A lot of questions to think about before the next chapter comes… anyways I'll see you next time when I update which would probably be in the summer… if not, earlier because I already have it written =D. Hope you enjoyed it and review! Laters!
