To Much Sweet-and-Sour
Yumi
Here I stand. Alone. Cold. Sad. Angry. Helpless. Wet.
The wind is rushing around me, sending sheets of dagger-like rain into my body. It's not like I can feel it. I'm numb. Not just my body, but my soul is too. I've lost the will to feel, to do anything. Anything except to run. Run is the one thing that I can think of right now.
Don't go.
I have to go. I need to go.
Please don't leave...
"Yumi?"
I turn around at the familiar voice, suddenly regretting the decision to do so.
"Ulrich, you shouldn't of come."
There he stood, umbrella thrashing in his hands. His light brown hair plastered to his face, coffee colored eyes boring into me. His shirt was drenched, clinging to his chest as if mocking the fact that I couldn't do so.
"Why are you here, at the bus stop I mean?" He asked, not once moving his gaze off of me. I wanted to run to him, to feel his arms around me. Have his body against mine. I wanted it oh so badly. No, you can't do that. He is no longer yours.
"Isn't it obvious? I waiting for the bus." I was trying to fight back my tears and the lump that had suddenly found its way to my throat.
"Where are you going?" His voice was wavering. Not from the voice change many 13 year old boys go through, but with fear. Wavering with fear and love.
"Away from here. Anywhere away from here." I turned, as hot liquid fell down my face. Had anyone else seen it, it might have been mistaken for rain. But no, Ulrich had seen it. Ulrich wasn't just anyone else.
Don't go.
"Why Yumi? Why do you want to leave? Why are you crying?"
Suddenly it all burst out. Tears, memories, thoughts, secrets, pain, everything exploded.
"You don't understand!"My voice had cracked into a desperate scream, "Ever since my parents died 9 months ago nothing is going right! Sure, we stopped XANA, but you left with Sissy before I ever got a chance! My grades are slipping, my life is slipping."
"Yumi.."
I have to go. I need to go.
"My mind is slipping." I hissed with venom. Suddenly a memory flashed before my eyes, one I thought I had locked away forever.
--Flashback--
'Can Yumi Ishiyama please report to the principals office immediately? Thank you.'
The loud-speaker called out. Yumi's heart jumped, trying to remember if she had done anything seriously bad. She stood up as everyone in the class 'oooh'ed at her. Her teacher waved at the door, so she walked out and towards the office.
"Yumi, please, take a seat." Mr. Delmas said, pointing to a chair across from him. Awkwardly she sat, staring at the man before her. "So, how has your day been?"
"Fine.." Why had he called her just to ask that? Somethings up..
"Good, good.. Well, I have some...Information to tell you." He smiled at her. Anyone could see it was forced and that sadness was concealed beneath it. "We've just gotten word that your parents left for the week to go to Japan, correct?"
"Right.." Maybe he's offering me a place to stay in the dorms till they come back..
"Well, I'm uh.. Very, truly sorry to say that uh.. Their plane crashed. About five hours ago. They haven't found any survivors."
Yumi was expecting, hoping, that her parents would suddenly jump from behind the table. Maybe they'd show her the cameras and tell her it was all a joke.
"Mr. Delmas, this isn't funny." She informed him, still holding on to that little bit of hope.
"Yumi, I'm very sorry. I'll let you stay in the school dorms until this summer, but after that your leaving to go live with your grandparents in Japan.
Something in Yumi's heart tore. It broke off and disappeared that moment, and she fell into hysterics.
--End Flashback--
My tears became as heavy as the rain after reliving this. "I just need to get away from here."
"You don't understand, I'm not with Sissy though!" He yelled to her. The wind was now screaming past them, Ulrich's umbrella breaking and flying away from him.
Please don't leave...
After hearing this I couldn't stand it anymore. Everything I had kept hidden away now flashed before my mind. I fell to my knees, covering my ears as if they were making me go down this memory lane.
--Flashback--
Me and Ulrich are sitting at the lunch table about 2 months after my parents death. Sure, I'm still depressed, but one minute with Ulrich and I snap out of it. Then, out of no where pops Sissy.
"Hello, Ulrich dear. Why are you hanging out with orphan girl?" I wanted to slap her. I wanted to kill her. And I jumped up to do it too, but a hand held me back.
"No, Yumi, she's not worth it." So at Ulrich's request, I sat down. Instead, he stood up and walked towards her.
"Sissy, get it through your big fat head that I don't like you, I'm not your dear, you have no right to call Yumi anything, and everyone hates you!"
Sissy was taken aback, fire in her eyes. "Don't talk to me like that! But since I like you, I'll forgive you. And to show you I do.." She leaned forward into Ulrich, placing her lips onto his. I watched in horror as the boy I loved just stood there, not even trying to get out of the lip-lock. I couldn't stand it any more. I ran from the room, and into my room. I told Ulrich I was fine, but something was different. Suddenly I felt like there was a break in the friendship I had with Ulrich. Something just wasn't right..
--End Flashback--
Ears still covered, I opened my eyes to see my love grabbing my arm and pulling me up. I also saw the bus coming. I had to go now, or I would kill myself.
"Get OFF of me!" I screamed at him. The bus was right there. I walked into the open doors, but a soft hand enclosed my arm once again.
"Yumi, please.." He whispered, his perfect features suddenly engulfed in pain.
"Get off of me." I hissed back. I couldn't let him do this to me, like he always does.
"I need to tell you something!" He answered, gripping my arm even tighter.
"No! I don't want to hear it! Let go before the bus starts!"
"But I need to say this!"
"Get the fuck off of me, Ulrich!"
Suddenly the bus started to move, slowly. I was on the first step, still with Ulrich's hand clinging to me. He started to walk with it, still not letting go.
"Don't go." His request was as simple as that. It rang in my ears, and planted its self in my mind.
Don't go.
"I have to go. I need to go." My reply was just as easy, but it also burned a place in my head.
I have to go. I need to go.
"Please don't leave..." He said, pleading. That went into my memories and joined the other two sentences.
Please don't leave...
By that time the bus was going to fast for Ulrich, and he let go of me. I didn't even look back at him, I just turned and walked to my seat. I could hear a boy's voice scream something, but I blocked it out, knowing it was Ulrich.

--------------10 years later----------------------
Here I stand, at the same place as I did 10 years ago when I ran away. I just got off the bus, trying to remember why I came back.
"Ouch!" I double over in pain, as a soccer ball flew into my gut.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry, miss.."A man yells, running towards me. His hand touches my back, the other grabbing my arm. His touch reminds me of something, of someone..
Don't go. Yes, even after 10 years, those three sentences still played in my head.
"Thank you, its fine." I answered, standing up and smiling at him. Both of our mouths dropped as the man kept his hands on me.
"Yumi?" He asked in disbelief. He was gorgeous, with his chocolate colored eyes and long dark brown hair. His muscles could be seen through his shirt, and I knew exactly who he was.
"Ulrich?" I asked in the same tone. I blushed, realizing he was still holding me.
I have to go. I need to go.
I took a step back, out of his arms. Still standing at the bus stop, we both went into an uncomfortable silence. I looked around and saw the trees swaying in the breeze, the flowers blooming, saw him. Standing there, staring at me. The memory of that night came back to me, as I looked back at him.
"Long time, no see." He said, shifting his weight.
"I..uh..Yeah.." I answered, unable to think. I had left, all those long years ago, to get away from here. To get away from him. I didn't want to feel that undieing love for him anymore. It was unbearable to stand and watch as the man you love kisses the woman you despise.
Please don't leave...
"Do you remember that night?" He asked, looking at me. There was a longing in his gaze, a wanting spark in his eye.
Is he joking? Of course I remember, it' the day I left you..
"Yes I remember." I answered, looking into his eyes.
"Do you remember I wanted to tell you something?"
"Yes, Ulrich."
"I think you need to know what I wanted to say." He looked away, towards the trees on his right. "I was going to say-"
"Oh my, is that Yumi?" I shrill voice cut in.
"Oh hell no.." I said, which made Ulrich snicker.
"My, my, my, if it isn't Miss Runaway! Remember me?" The new girl asked.
Your the reason I left, you bitch.
"Hi..Sissy." I made sure her name was said with as much hate as possible.
"You do remember! Well, I guess you know me and Ulrich are dating now?" The other girl said slyly, hooking her arm with his.
I saw Ulrich gag and pull away, saying, "No we aren't, bitch!"
But something about what Sissy had said hit a nerve. All the bad memories of my childhood spent here, of my parents death, of my friends, of Sissy, of him came to me. I couldn't stop it, and even though these memories always plagued me, they had never made me feel this heartbroken or lost before. My tears began falling, and I hadn't even been there for 10 minutes.
Don't go.
I have to go. I need to go.
Please don't leave...

-----------------------------------
I can no longer take it
It's tearing me apart
No longer can I sit
For it's breaking my heart
My feeling won't ever leave
I'm in love with you
Their stuck together like a weave
My heart and you
So now I'll go
Trying to break free
But before I do, you need to know
Just wait, I'll come back to thee
Ok, sooooooooooo should I keep writing it? Review and tell me! P.S--that little thing in the center in bold/italic/underline is the poem. Yes, it goes with the story xD. As I said before, this is going to end with tons of things un-answered.
Q---Should it end like that, or should I tell you all what happens so it all ends good/bad?
Just to let you know, if I leave the ending unanswered, there will still be 5 chapters in all. If I do make a real ending, there will be 6. So this isn't the last chapter either way.
