I Know

Chapter 02: I Don't Want You Back

"Hey Tai, do you want to go with Sora and I?" Matt offered, Tai managed to smile. "Nah, Mimi and I are going to the mall." He said. Matt was feeling aback.

"Oh, is that so. I never knew you like to go shopping, especially with Mimi." Matt commented with his tone a little bit jealous.

"Well, see ya later Matt!" said a really happy Tai. He was about to leave.

"Wait!" Matt said between ponder.

"Can we come?" Matt asked. Tai thought for it for a while.

"I don't know, ask her." Tai said and left him quickly as he could. Matt just stared at the air blank.

Tai and Mimi? On a date? He quickly got up and picked Sora up.

Knock knock!

"Hello Ms. Takenouchi, is Sora there?" he asked.

"Ohayo Yamato, Sora was gone out few minutes ago." She said.

"Oh, thank you. Bye." He said quickly and went back to his car.

Where could she be? He shrugged and went to the park.

He saw Tai and Mimi, hand in hand, walking with smiles and he could see Mimi laughing.

I thought she loves me…but I can't give her happiness whenever she's around me, not like Tai's…I should be happy fo her, I mean at least she got happy.

He frowned when he saw Tai put an arm around her, and she didn't react. But she got happy with him. He seemed like he wants to follow them or in other words, stalk them. And so he did.

The couple went to a tearoom and shared a table, perfect for two. Matt then went on far side of the room where he can see them without being noticed. Why was he doing in here anyway?

Why am I here! I should be looking for Sora by the way! But why can't I keep my eyes off them! He thought angrily.

Then there it is again, she seemed pretty contented with him. Then the two paused on laughing. Mimi said something that made Tai smile.

What are they talking about? He noticed Tai's face getting closer to her and…pressed his lips against hers.

W-What! Matt gripped his hand tightly and feeling jealous. They didn't break off! Then Mimi kissed back.

Matt stood up and went over them, not caring what they will think.

They broke of when a guy was standing in front of them.

"I can't believe you two!" he yelled angrily. The customers looked at him weirdly and shrugged. "What?" Tai said. "Don't what me, Tai! You're kissing her!" he said, he turned to Mimi.

"And you enjoyed it!" he exclaimed.

Mimi's temper rose.

"For your 411, we have the rights to kiss anyone! And besides, where's Sora? Why're you here? Back at the park we saw you following us! Don't even hide! And Sora? Where is she? Can you get off other people's business? We're happy, you're happy, you're just ruining the best day of my life!" Mimi said angrily to him.

He was speechless. He glared at them, left the tearoom and back at his car.

'We're happy, you're happy, you're just ruining the best day of my life!' Her words stabbed his heart.

"Did she just say, best day of her life?" he asked himself.

"So maybe, she already forgot me." Does that mean, Tai? My bestfriend gave her the happiest, unforgettable moment? The moment he kissed her? What am I even thinking…I have Sora now, she's the best…but why do I feel angry and this feeling called, 'jealousy' when I saw them back at the tearoom?

He looked at the window and so Sora, hand in hand with another guy, his grip firmed more. I'm the most jinxed person in the world! People I love left me!

He turned on his radio.

"Heya lovers, DJ Neo In The Morning here, Kaji Han from Yokohama, requested a song, if you're feeling you've been cheated by your girl, here's "Fuck It" by Eamon. Enjoy." DJ Neo In The Morning said and the song played.

At first he didn't got the song's meaning, but in the middle of it:

See i dont, know why,
I liked you so much
I gave you all of my trust
I told you, i loved you now it's all down the drain,
You put me through pain
I wanna let you know that i feel
2x
Fuck what i said it don't mean shit now fuck the presents might as well throw them out,
Fuck all the kisses they didnt mean jack fuck you, you hoe i dont want you back!

You thought that you could keep this shit from me,
Ya burnt bitch, i heard the story,
Ya played me,
Ya even gave him head now
Ya askin for me back ya,
It's just another act look elsewhere cuz ya done with me
2x
Fuck what i said it dont mean shit now fuck the presents might as well throw them out
Fuck all the kisses they didnt mean jack fuck you, you hoe i dont want you back

Ya questioned did i care you,
Could ask anyone, i even said ya were my great one,
Now its over but i do admit im sad,
It hurts real bad i cant sweat that cause i loved a hoe

Fuck what i said it dont mean shit now fuck the presents might as well throw them out
Fuck all those kisses they didnt mean jack
Fuck you, you hoe i dont want you back

Oh oh oh oh
Uh hun yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Uh hun yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Uh hun yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Uh hun yeah

He looked at the window again, his heart aching, Sora with another guy. Hatred filled his heart. "Fuck what I said, I don't want ya back…" he sang. The song really fitted the situation, but he's still heartbroken. This means, I love Mimi. "Niko Fujiwara, from Hakone requests "Here Tonight" by the Teenage Wolves. Here you go, Niko." DJ Neo In The Morning said. Matt cringed when he heard, Teenage Wolves. That's our song…

"So long to you my love
Don't be afraid to run away
I know you'll be okay
Just take your time to find

But I need you here tonight
I need you here inside
I need you here tonight
I really, really need you here tonight

Made up my mind on this
Too late for me to hold you back
Maybe too short or dumb
To cry for you but I will anyway

It's all my fault
To feel this way for you that day
I know I am and I will
Though it's wrong, so wrong

Cause I need you here tonight
I need you here inside
I need you here tonight
I really, really need you here

I need you, I need you
I need you here inside
I need you I need you
I really, really need you here."

"I wrote that, seven years ago…for Mimi….before she left Japan." He said. The song perfectly suits his more heartaching situation. "I need her." He said. He drove to Sora's.

"Hey Yamato!" Sora greeted, Matt entered the house. "Sora, fuck you!" Matt exclaimed.

"Mother fuckin! Why're you talking shit?" Sora asked, surprised by his words. "I saw you today, with the other guy." Matt said angrily.

"I'm wrong, I should've chosen you I shouldve chose those people I know they will not backstab me! You're a slut! Mimi loved me, now she loves Tai…" he said as true tears came down from his eyes.

"Our marriage is off, Sora." Matt said, leaving a shock Sora behind. Next thing, he went to Mimi's.

"Ohayo Yamato, you're here for Mimi?" Mrs. Tachikawa asked, he nodded.

"Well, good thing you're here! I was about to leave! But I can't leave my Mimi alone!" Mrs. Tachikawa said as Matt entered the house and sat on the couch.

"Feel at home dear! I'm just happy Mimi's happy!" Mrs. Tachikawa bragged.

"Why so?" Matt asked.

"Well, your friend Taichi just asked her out and asked her if he could be Mimi's boyfriend! Gosh, she's growing up so fast!" Mrs. Tachikawa said.

"Mimi, hurry up! You have a visitor!" Mrs. Tachikawa said.

"I know!" Mimi yelled from upstairs.

"Well, I better leave! I gotta go to the supermarket!" Mrs. Tachikawa said and left the house. Mimi came running down and hit the couch.

"Hi Mimi." Said Matt shyly. "Ohayo Yamato." Mimi said. "Mimi, I came her to tell you something,"

"I already know that." Mimi said. "You do!" Matt asked surprisingly. "Yeah, you're just here to say sorry on what happened back at the tearoom." Mimi said, Matt frowned.

"No Mimi. I heard you and Tai are already going out."

Yeah, so what about it?" Mimi asked.

"Well, Mimi, I feel jealous." Matt said.

"Is it because I don't have time to spend it with you? Don't worry! We can go out tomorrow, if Sora will allow you!" Mimi said happily.

"Speaking of Sora Mimi, I broke up with her. I saw her with a guy today." Matt said. Mimi frowned. Poor Sora… can't believe Matt would do this to her. "So, what do you want to say again?" Mimi asked. "Mimi, I feel jealous because…" he stuttered.

"Because what?" Mimi asked eagerly. "Because. Because I love you!" he said. Mimi became pale.

"Why now? Now that you saw Sora with the other guy, you dumped her and you came to me! I'm not like a substitute teacher who replaces another class, Yamato! I already have Taichi! You're making it more complicated to me! I love Taichi!" she said sincerely with a mix of anger.

His heart was bruised and wounded.

"Is that so, Mimi? Fine. But if you need a substitute, I'm always be waiting for you, even if you won't love me back the same way you love Taichi." Matt said as he waved his hand and left. Mimi felt tears falling from her eyes.

'I'm always be waiting for you, even if you won't love me back the same way you love Taichi.' "So, he truly loves me?" she asked herself.

Matt banged the door and turned the radio on. "Fuck what I said. She loves someone else." He said, uncontrolled tears flowed down.

I realized that I love you so much, you were always there while I've been leaving you shit, these tears of yours didn't cost a thing, but now it seems you caught me again, I love you so much, but now you've been dating with him, you left me alone just like I did, I know I deserve this and I love you so much. I'm sorry I bruised your fragile heart, I haven't knew that you're so precious like diamonds, I'm screaming in pain, heal me with your kiss, oh please love me back. I'm desperate without you, my purpose is to be loved by you, oh now I realize you're my true love. I'm sorry I hurt you so many times, I never wanted this, but now concede in this line, you may not love me like you love him, but my love for you is forever.

Matt wept the tears and went back to his mind.

"She loved me, and I wasted it. Now I love her, and it's her turn to waste it. I love you so much." He said, as he took his wallet and looked at Sora's picture.

He removed and crumpled it.

On the side of his wallet, a picture of Mimi. He took it and placed it on the center.

She was smiling, with this bear he got on Valentines when she was still living in Japan. Them there's another picture of her.

It seems kinda weird, he still keeps her photos. This time it was the two of them, when Mimi was 14 and he was 15.

They started to go out. But a year later, she left Japan.

"If I could change the world, I would love her." He said to himself.

Then there's a picture of Tai. He frowned.

"He gave her the love she needs, while I wanted to give it." He said.

End of Chapter 02: I Don't Want You Back

Karma turns bad on Matt…will Mimi let him win her heart again or remains to Tai? What will happen to Sora when Matt just turned the marriage off? All in Chapter 03!
