Why Can't I Breathe?
Chapter 2: Whenever I Talk About You
AN: Thanks for all of your support everyone! I hope you guys like this chapter as much as the first one! Please keep reviewing! Oh, and there is a kiss alert in this chappie.
*
Kai kissed her fervently. He wanted to devour all of her; he wanted her to love him again.
His lips smashed against hers as hard as they could, and she kissed him back just as forcefully. He began to reach for the buttons on her shirt and tried to open it as best he could. She reached the bottom of his shirt first, and she pulled it over his head furiously. They both agreed that clothing was a burden neither of them wanted between them ever again.
Just as Kai had gotten her shirt off, his dream had ended. God, how he wished it was real.
He had almost actually believed that the occurrences were really happening. Kai had promised himself that he could NOT love Ayame, and yet again he had allowed himself to give in. How could he possibly fight his own carnal desires when even his dreams were against him? It was simply impossible, and he knew it.
He just hated loving her so much.
Kai climbed out of bed quickly, threw his sheets in the wash (for the fourth time that week), and took a shower. Then he got dressed quickly and grabbed a bagel on the way out the door.
It was a Saturday, so he had no idea what he was going to do at all, especially now that he had lost touch with his old "friends". The only reason he left the house so early was so that he didn't have to hear his grandfather taunting him once he finally heard the washing machine.
The words of a song suddenly popped into his head. As he thought about it, his life was exactly like the song. It described him perfectly. He started repeating the words out loud.
"Please help me 'cause I'm breaking down,
this picture's frozen and I can't get out.
Please help me cause I'm breaking down,
this picture's frozen and I can't get out of here;
Believe me, I'm just as lost as you." [1]
Yes, it sounded like him a lot. Kai felt as though he was trapped in a picture, one that stayed the same; always. It was as though his life kept repeating itself, no matter where he was, no matter what he tried to alter.
Kai knew that if he could go back in time to try to make sure that he'd never meet and fall in love with Aya, he'd still be sure to fall for her again. It was fate, and somehow, he knew that nothing he could do would change it.
While this was all going on inside Kai's head, he was still walking, not realizing where he was going. Suddenly he looked up, and he realized that he had found his way outside Max's house. He didn't know where Max, Rei, Tyson, or Kenny lived, so it was pretty obvious that he'd end up here. This was the only one of their houses that he'd ever been to.
Kai found himself knocking on the door. After two knocks he assumed that Max wasn't home, but as he turned to walk away, Max's father answered the door.
"Kai?" Mr. Tate said, assuming that Kai would acknowledge him.
"Oh, hi. Is Max home?"
Mr. Tate regained his composure after the obvious surprise that Kai was standing on his doorstep.
"No, sorry, Kai. He's at Tatsuhiko's house with Rei, Tyson, and Kenny. He's your friend too, isn't he? They left about an hour ago. Do you know where Tatsuhiko lives?"
"No."
"It's about a block down, on this same street. The address is 2447, if you want to go there and find him."
"Thanks." Kai turned and walked away without so much as a goodbye to Mr. Tate.
He didn't know whether or not he should go to Tatsuhiko's or not, but he walked in that direction anyway. He knew he should just follow his heart anyway; fate would direct him in the same direction anyway, no matter what he did. He knew that now.
He needed something to do anyway.
When Kai arrived at Tatsuhiko's house, he hesitated. He wanted to knock, but he heard laughter coming from inside, and he knew that everyone was together. If he knocked now, they'd all stare. He didn't want that at all, especially since he hadn't talked to 4/5 of them for months.
Still, he knocked lightly, intending to leave if they didn't hear him. He prayed that they didn't too, so he'd have an excuse to leave.
So such luck.
He looked up as the door opened, and he locked eyes with Ayame. She was obviously just as surprised and nervous as he was.
"Kai?"
"Ayame?"

HAHA! The end. This chapter is super short because I'm tired. I just typed the third chapter of my other BB fanfic too (Trapped! 2: Beyblade), and I wanted this to be the ultimate cliffhanger. ^__^ So review and the next chapter will be out soon.
