CHAPTER FIVE---Forgiven
Ami was still calling for Yumi when Yumi made her desicion to apolgize. She was about to go into the cafe when she bumped into Yumi.
''Oh...there you are.'' She said. ''But I guess...if you don't need me,like you said the other day...you're not going to apologize.'' She looked away sadly. A tear ran down her cheek. As if Ami's injuries on the OUTSIDE were bad enough...Yumi thought.
''Ami...I'm sorry about everything. I thought for a long time that I didn't need you...but after what happened at the concert,I realized we need each other. I was so ashamed of myself...I needed someone,anyone to help me. I didn't think I'd make it through.'' Yumi looked away so Ami couldn't see how miserable she was.
Ami thought this over. Just as she had been badly bruised and needed help,so did Yumi.
''You're forgiven.'' She said,hugging Yumi. Yumi hugged her back.
''We're still friends,right?'' Ami asked.
''Of course.'' Yumi said.
They headed back to the bus.
Later that night,Yumi was in her room looking out the window again. Jeng Kang hopped up on the windowsill. Yumi petted her. Yumi looked at one picture on the wall. It was of her and Ami,and it said ''Best Friends'' on it. Yumi smiled.
Forget about the fame,She thought,I've already got everything I want...
