Looking for Something?
What I want from this life is not money or fame,
maybe find the right partner who won't make it a game.
Who cares what you do to waste time in your life,
or look for the pleasures... like those shared with a wife.
Clock time has no meaning, it's long and just there,
a search for your partner could find them your pair.
But what does success mean if you spend life alone...
no one to share with, a house but not home?
Are you looking for something to make life complete...
or searching for someone that you just cannot meet?
Don't count on another to answer your prayers,
you must do it yourself, for yours to become theirs.
Attracting your soulmate is a fabulous thing,
it could last to forever ...or just an overnight fling!
When you finally see them like the waves crashing down,
your mind meets temptation as the circle comes round!
Mia Kamiya & MattTobias> Thanks for the reviews!
"TAI BEHIND YOU!" Kari yelled three inches from my ear. Before I could even look over my shoulder, I felt the impact of another human crashing upon me. Apparently, when drunken Matt has better coordination skills then I do. Leaping over the sofa in a single bound, he landed on top of me. Smacking my head into the coffee table as I buckled under the weight. We aren't kids anymore and we both had gain about double our size since we were eleven, it hurt like hell! I was able to roll over on my back, he was still on top of me and I didn't have time to prepare myself as his fist collided with my jawbone.
"GET OFF MY BROTHER!" I heard Kari yell from the other side of Matt.
"TK GET YOUR GIRLFRIEND OFF OF ME!" Matt was trying to keep me pin down and at the same time, keep Kari from pounding her little fist into his back and ribs.
"TK GET YOUR BROTHER OFF OF MY BROTHER!" Kari yelled. "OW LET GO OF ME!"
Matt had me pin down by the neck however, I was able to lift my head an inch off the ground. Matt had grabbed a hold of Kari's hair with his other hand, her little fist were moving a mile a minute trying to land them on any part of Matt's body. That little crush she had on him, I think this ended it.
"Stop pulling her hair!" I bite his hand.
"OW!" Matt let go of me, looking down at his tooth marked hand.
"Told you he bites!" Davis yelled from a place behind the lazy chair. I went to push Matt backwards by pushing all of my weight onto his and at the same time, Kari seeked revenge by pulling on Matt's golden locks. I forgot to figure that I outweighed him and he fell like falling tree…err, right on top of my sister.
"Get off my girlfriend!" Tk freaked out trying to separate his brother from Kari.
"Shut-up!" Matt yelled at him while trying to declaw Kari's fingers from around his neck. I stood up and ran at Matt. Kari screamed, as she was still pin under Matt.
Matt managed to outwit me; he threw his foot in the air at the last minute. My stomach hit his foot and I went sailing over him and Kari both, landing upside down on the love seat.
"Izzy! Joe! Do something!" Mimi was screaming and pulling at her braids.
"I am a genius Mims. This means that I am intelligent enough not to get caught up in the mist of a dispute where I would fail at miserably." Izzy shook his head and took another swing at his beer bottle.
"If I get involved, who will fix me up? No, I need to stay out of this one and heal the injured." Joe picked up the book and walked to an empty corner of the room.
"MEN!" Mimi stomped her foot and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Knock it off!" Sora yelled from a safe distant. "I bet you two don't even remember why you are fighting!"
"He hit me!" Matt pointed at me.
"He jumped me!" I pointed back, still upside down on the sofa.
"Because you attacked my brother!" Matt accused.
"He bit her!" I shouted.
"She liked it!" He shouted back at me.
"Take it back!" I roared, flipping back over the sofa. "Whoa…" The room started to move beneath my feet. Finally and more quickly then it seemed, I attacked Matt. I shot at him as I learnt while playing football; I tackled him at the waist, sending him on his backside. This time I was on top of him!
"Get off me!" He took Joe's book out of his hands and bounced it off my head.
"HEY!" Joe yelled, trying to grab his book again.
"I bet that's the closest a book ever each him," Izzy smirked.
Sora took the fire extinguisher off the wall and started to spray anything that moved. When the cloud of white substance faded down, we all looked like we were stuck in an avalanche. Joe took off his glasses; a huge round ring of clean flesh was visible. Davis had foam oozing out of his mouth, which we were able to laugh about it later in life. Kari kept sliding as she tried to stand and Tk was trying to hold her up, which sent them both falling to the ground again. I stood up and looked at my surroundings. Everything had a white film covering it. The sofa, the love seat, books that Joe was reading, beer bottles thrown everywhere. The coffee table was turned over on it's side. Matt was wiping blood from his lip. I touched my hand to my own face and found traces of blood flowing from where the book hit me….or maybe it was when I hit the coffee table.
"I hope you two are satisfied!" Sora threw down the fire extinguisher. "Not only were you two able to relapse into eleven year old boys but you wrecked this place!"
I wanted to add that she didn't help any; I wanted to remind her that she covered the place in white marshmallowish stuff. I glanced over at Matt who still sat on the floor, staring at the bottom of the sofa fabric. I looked over my shoulder for Kari who seemed to be tangled up with Tk. Both had stop trying to struggle up off the floor while Sora was yelling at everyone. No one said a word, no one looked Sora in the eye. Even Mimi who didn't do anything but pull her own braids stood silently.
"Now," Sora shifted her pose, "if you think you are all finished fighting," She said the word 'fighting' with a louder tone, "you will help me clean up this place to make it at the very least presentable for when we wake up tomorrow morning! Then," Oh no…she was looking at me and Matt! "You two boys will finish cleaning up the rest of the house!"
"Tk needs to stay away from Kari!" I pointed down to the blond hair boy.
"Tai!" Kari struggling to stand up again, tears were following down her face. "I hate…"she fell. Tk started to help her up again.
"Keep your hands off her!" I shouted at him.
"I hate yo…" Kari fell again.
"I think she's trying to say that she hates you," Davis peeked around the corner of a chair.
"She doesn't hate me!" I looked down at her tear stricken face, "Do you?" Nothing. My sister hates me! I glanced over at Matt who was still looking at the same blasted spot on the sofa. I glanced up at Sora who wore that 'pity' look. Kari finally managed to stand up and storm up the stairs, only tripping a few times from the soles of her shoes being wet.
"Why doesn't she have to help clean up!" Izzy stood up from his chair.
"How many of those did you have?" Sora pointed to Izzy's hand.
"Dunno," Izzy shrugged.
"OMG! DID YOU HEAR THAT!" Mimi slammed her hand over her heart, "He said 'dunno'!"
No one said a word, I kept looking up at the stairs. Little white foam prints lead up stairs to where Kari sat in her room.
"Go talk to her," Sora said softly as she started to throw beer bottles away, "Matt would you get up!"
I walked pass Matt, who was still staring at the sofa fabric, I walked pass the broken glass that littered the floor and I followed those little foamy footprints right up to Kari's door. I could hear her crying from the hallway and I slowly touched the door knob and for once in my life, I thought about it before I had done it. Instead I knocked on the door.
"Kari?" I said softly.
"Go away!" She cried. I knew she was going to say that. All the girls say that in the movies, "Go away or go to hell Tai! I don't care which but don't you dare come in!" Um…well they don't always add that to the end of the scene. I took a deep breath and pulled the door open only to have a pillow thrown at my face. "I told you not to come in! Are you stupid that you don't understand a simple request or maybe you just don't care!" Her eyes were rimmed with tears, her nose red from crying so hard.
"I um.." I picked the pillow up and walk to her bed, "I just wanted to talk." I said softly, sitting next to her on the bed. "I mean to apologies. I guess I let my mind get carried away."
"You think!" Kari sniffled.
"You have to understand though! I had always looked after you! It's my job as an older brother to protect you as well as I can. It's something that I like to do," I told her, picking at her pillow.
"I don't need protection. It's TK for crying sakes!" She grabbed the pillow from me.
"I know…but I know Matt and you know the saying, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
"Tai, that only applies to parents and their children. Matt is not Tk's father and Tk is not like Matt. Besides, Matt loves Sora!" I didn't want to tell her how many times I've pulled Matt off of a girl while he was dating Sora.
"I know…" It was best if I just kept my mouth shut. "It's just…well I love you and you mean everything to me. I don't want anything bad happen to you and if there is a way that I can prevent it, I'm going to. You can't hate me for loving you, you're my little sis! People will come and go out of our lives but you and me, we will always be there for each other, right? And no matter who you choose to be your boyfriend or even your husband, he will never be good enough for you in my eyes. There isn't a soul out there that will be good enough for you. So, here I am. Trying to swallow my tongue every time some guy glances at you, every time you flirt. I try, I really do try Kari but," I looked at her, I looked straight in her eyes, "I will try harder for you. I will learn to let you date who you want to date. I only ask that you be patient with me." I gave her the best puppy dog eyes I could, "Don't hate me." She wiped her tears again and wrapped her arms around my neck.
"I don't really hate you!" She cried softly.
-cheers!
