Too Much Sweet and Sour
Aelita
"I can't take it anymore!" She yelled. Not at me, but to me as she crammed her head into the pillow.
"Yumi, calm down. You're just having a bad day is all. No need to get so worked up over it." I told her, trying to sooth her while reading my book.
"It's not just today... It's every day, Aelita!" Still pushing the pillow into her face. Even though I've been here for a while, I still don't get it. Why would anyone want to try and suffocated themselves when they're angry by slamming their heads into pillows?
Why do you want to do this?
Why wouldn't I?
"Yumi, I know I don't really have the right to say this, seeing that I never really knew my parents, but I'm sure that the last thing they wanted for you to do is get depressed. Just think, if they are looking down at you, wouldn't they want to see you happy?"
I had been in Lyoko when it happened, looking for an activated tower. Jeremy had already materialized me on Earth for good, but he had been getting strange warnings from his computer, so we both skipped history and L.A to go check it out.
--Flashback--
"Jeremy, I don't see anything. You think it was just a mix up?" I asked him, sitting down in one of the towers.
"I don't know, but I was getting something... Oh well, try checking over it one more time, then I'll materialize you so we can get back to school." He replied. Smiling, I closed out his window that links him to me as I jumped off the platform and walked out to the Lyoko world again.
"Nothing here.. Nothing there.. nothings here, Jeremy!" I yelled again, sitting down and resting on a rock.
"Ok, let me get you back to Ear- Aelita, hold on, Ulrich's calling.."
"Ok, Jeremy." I answered, waiting for him to return.
"Aelita, you need to get back here, Yumi's parents just died!"
--End Flashback--
"I don't care. Maybe I just need to... Leave.." The Japanese girl answered. She sat up in her bed, pondering over her answer. I could see the cogs working in her brain as she jumped up and over to her closet, pulling out a heavy rain coat. I had gotten this dorm when I entered the school, and when the principal said Yumi needed a place to stay for the rest of the year, I offered to share.
Why do you want to do this?
"Where are you going, Yumi?" I asked, jumping up and grabbing mine too. She only sent me a small smile and put her hand on my coat, pushing it back into the closet and closing it.
"I don't know, actually.. But this time, Aelita, you can't come." She mumbled, pulling the garment over her shoulders.
"Don't tell me your running away?" Of course, leave it to me, the smartest girl in school the ask the most obvious question.
"Then I won't." She whispered, giving me a hug and turning towards the door. It took me a second, but I got it.
"This isn't just about your parents, is it? Ulrich and Sissy are the real problem!" I yelled, trying to make her stay. "He hates her, especially for what she said and did. Your the only one he ever liked."
Why wouldn't I?
"Please, don't give me that crap." She stated, walking towards the door once again.
--Flashback--
I had skipped lunch to help my history teacher hang some things up, and was now in science. We were working on our projects on the lap tops when an I.M bow popped up-
JaPaNeSeGiRl: omg, aelita, US kissed PD!
We had given everyone nicknames, so if someone were to read our conversations they wouldn't be able to understand it. US stood for Ulrich Stern and PD stood for principals daughter, or in other words Sissy.
LyokoPrincess: ur kidding..
JaPaNeSeGiRl: no, during lunch he got up and she kissed him!
LyokoPrincess: exactly. SHE kissed HIM, not the other way around
JaPaNeSeGiRl: still, they kissed and that's all that matters
LyokoPrincess: they've kissed b4, and u've always known US doesnt lyk her, so wats different now?
JaPaNeSeGiRl: idk, it just is..
LyokoPrincess: mhm, talk 2 u about it l8r, teacher
With that, I closed the window and went back to work. I knew the real reason why it was 'different'. Since the death, Yumi hasn't been the same. Little things get to her, things that she used to never even think about. This was just another one of those times, but this just included someone who she cared deeply for.
--End Flashback--
"It's not crap, it's the truth. Yumi please, don't blow this out of proportion!"
"I'm not. This is just the right thing to do. I'll see you, Aelita. You'll always be my girl.." By now she was out the door, about to close it.
"Why do you want to do this?" I asked, just before the door clicked shut.
I heard her laugh a little, but still letting the door cover her face she answered, "Why wouldn't I?" Then she pulled the door closed, cutting her off from me. I sat there, a little dazed. Calm down, Aelita. Yumi will be back in a day or two, don't worry..
That's what I told myself. I believed it, too. It'll only be a day or two..
Why do you want to do this?
Why wouldn't I?

--------------10 years later----------------------
"Yeah, Jeremy. I'm going to the soccer field to pick them up right now... Yes, I have everything... No, you don't need to come help me!... Yes I'm sure..." I was supposed to be getting Ulrich and Odd so we could drive over to the rehearsal and get started. Not just any rehearsal, my rehearsal Mine and Jeremy's wedding rehearsal. He had asked me about a year ago, and now it was only a day away. Ulrich and Odd were Jeremy's best men, since he couldn't decide on which one was more of a friend. The only thing that made me regret this day was the fact that Yumi wasn't going to be there at my side during it...
Why do you want to do this? I guess I'm sort of lucky. Although two sentences have been running over my mind for the past 10 years, Jeremy told me he has three that get him. So I shouldn't be complaining, right? But my one or two days had turned into 9 or 10 years, so I didn't know what to think anymore.
"Look, I'm here at the bus stop now I'll... Oh my god, Jeremy, get over here. Now!" I yelled into the phone, ending the conversation as I slid it into my pocket and ran towards Ulrich, Sissy, Odd and..
"YUMI!" I screamed, as I watched her hand a tissue to a reddening Ulrich. The older girl turned, putting on a dazzling smile as she watched me run at her and pull her into a hug.
"Hey, Aelita." She chocked out, as I squeezed her tight.
"Ok, Aelita, let's not kill her.." Odd said, stepping in and prying me away from the returned girl.
I glared at Odd, as he put on a goofy smile and stepped back. He had grown a lot taller, but was still shorter than everyone. He's gotten muscle, but is still scrawny. Or as he might put it, "svelte." He still has that purple dash in his hair, but instead of that strange upwards style, he let it fall down onto his head and grow out, making him look a lot like a skater.
"I wasn't killing her, I was greeting her. What else do you expect, I haven't seen her in 10 years!" I answered. Suddenly Yumi jumped at me, grabbing my hand.
"Oh my god, Aelita! Who are you getting married to? When? Why didn't you tell me?" She asked, examining the stone.
Why wouldn't I?
"Jeremy, tomorrow, and I didn't know where you were, how could I tell you? You were going to be my one and only bridesmaid.." I answered, as sadness swept into Yumi's eyes. She dropped my hand and went back to staring at the sidewalk like it had suddenly become the most interesting thing in the world.
"Yes, the two nerds finally got together!" Sissy yelled, snickering. Everyone sent her a death glare, as the smile on her face vanished.
"Sissy, shut up. Why are you still here? No one wants you to stay, so leave!" Ulrich yelled. Sissy just stood there, and finally let out a 'hmph'.
"I'll stay here if I want to!" She answered defiantly.
I just ignored her and went on, "But you know, if you stay here you can stay at my place for the night and still be in it.. Maybe then we can talk about getting you a place of your own, right?" I asked in hope.
"I...Uh.. The bus comes in like, 30 minutes, so I uh.. I just don't know.."
"Well, your staying here, right?" I asked, trying to get her to say yes.
"I, um.."
She was thinking about it. I could see her eyes flashing the emotions her face hid so well. She wanted to stay, she really, really did. Something was holding her back though. I fear, a hope, a memory, something was there that made her think twice about staying.
Then again, there were three good reasons standing in front of her of why she should stay. (Not including Sissy, of course.) There was also one huge, extreme, fantastic reason why she had to stay, that was included in the first three. One ginormous ((haha, is that a word? xD)) reason why she absolutely, positively must stay.
The reason was Ulrich. He had waited 10 years. He hadn't dated in 10 years. He hadn't even looked at a girl like he did when he look at her in 10 years. For 10 long years, he had waited in hope that she would come back. And now, here she was. Standing not even three feet away from him. But she still couldn't decide if she wanted to stay.
Why do you want to do this?
Why wouldn't I?
But I think I've finally found the reason why she wouldn't want to. No matter how much she denied it, I could see it right now in her eyes. One of the many emotions only her eyes were telling. You don't want to Yumi, because you love Ulrich.

You tell it lies
You tell it sins
But why?
Your afraid it'll win
Your heart knows
Even if your mind doesn't
What your at is a low
But when you were with him it wasn't
For ten years
You told it the lie
No matter the number of tears
Itcame by
He'll always love you
But what you can't see
Is the truth inside you
With him your heart agrees
I'm not sure if that last part rhymed, but oh well. We'll just say its a free-form, right? Right..Lol, ReViEw!

P.S- the poems might help you in the end, so... xD
