Chapter 13 to Miami Romance

Chapter 12: Love Or Friendship?

-----

"Oh man Daichi, I con't believe this… and Max you saw it twice, bummer how I hate to be you" Tyson joked taking a seat at a nearby counter, sipping his ice Coolata as he kept on babbling about Rei and Hilary's little experience.

"Mmk Tyson we get the point, you don't have to remind us" Max stated bluntly, He really was confused, more than anything right now. First Rei got pissed off because Hilary was kissing Kai, and now he's happy cause he made out with Hilary. This really was weird, he didn't know if he was the only one with the brains to actually come up with this assumption, but Tyson and Daichi really seemed out of it.

"Hey guys! Mind if I sit with you, apparently Hilary's taking longer than expected on me, it's already 7:35" Max smiled gently at the pink head and nodded for at her to take the remaining empty seat.

"Ohh GIRL! Theres a reason Hilary's late!" Max frowned, Oh man he highly doubted Mariah knew about Rei and Hilary.

"Dai-"

"Me, Tyson, and Max where like walking through the halls, and we starting hearing these you know sounds…" Daichi went on, ignoring Max's protests.

"Yea so we barged in and Rei and Hilary were on the verge of being deflowered!1" Tyson butted in with a smirk. Max slapped his forehead, Oh man this wasn't good, and things couldn't have gotten worse because they noticed Kai walk into the buffet when Tyson finished his respond.

"Deflowered?" Mariah raised her perfectly sculpt eyebrow, what were they talking about? She didn't understand… were they having sex, No! Hilary knew her feelings for Rei, everybody knew her feelings for Rei, this had to be some joke.

"Hilary and Rei were having sex, c'mon Mariah don't me so dim, well they weren't actually having sex.. But-"

"SHUT UP DAICHI!" Max, Tyson, Daichi, and Mariah winced at the eruption coming from the phoenix blader. That's when it her, Rei and Hilary were… a couple? Furrowing her eyebrows as tears dared to slowly escape her golden pools, Mariah abruptly stood from her seat, wiping a lone tear with her sleeve, she ran.

"Whats up with her?" Daichi shrugged unaware of Kai's seeping glare.

"Ahh finally refreshed! Shit it's 7:45 Mariah's going to kill me, EEKK" Hilary shrieked, she promised Mariah to meet at 7:00. Quickly combining random clothing to put on, Hilary blow-dried her hair, put on her full black chucks and headed swiftly to the buffet.

As Hilary walked down the corridor she noticed Mariah running out of the buffet with tears streaming down her eyes. Hilary started running after her and when she was just mere inches away from her, Hilary grabbed her shoulder to turn her around.

"Hey… what wrong, Mariah why are you crying?" Random visitors stopped what they were doing to watch he scenery before them.

"Whats wrong? Whats WRONG? YOU HILARY! YOUR WHATS WRONG! KNOWING HOW MUCH I LOVED REI! AND-AND-AND DAICHI TELLS ME YOU SLEPT WITH HIM! HILARY YOU OF ALL PEOPLE KNEW HOW MUCH I LOVED HIM! H-H-HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME!" Shoving Hilary to the floor, Mariah started running again, pushing customers out of her way.

"She stole her man…."

"M-hmm she stole her man, hahaha"

Hilary bowed her head ashamed of what she had done. She didn't even care about Mariah's feelings, when Mariah was always there for her. What had she done… she didn't want to lose Mariah…

"Hilary?" Perceiving Rei's voice, Hilary couldn't help but stand up and slap him. Tyson, Max and Daichi stepped out of the buffet, just to make sure things didn't turn out nasty.

"Hil-"

"Rei… I-I-I right now I'm in the threshold of loosing Mariah, and I'm sorry but can't allow that" At that Hilary ran after the road Mariah had taken a few minutes ago, hoping and praying she would find her

Hilary POV&&

I think you can do much better than me
After all the lies that I made you believe
Guilt kicks in and I start to see
The edge of the bed
Where your nightgown used to be
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remembered
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

Right Now, this very moment I realized something. I just realized how much loosing someone close to you felt. Right now running through the beach feeling the cool air hit my face as tears streamed won my eye, I felt alone.

While looking through your old box of notes
I found those pictures I took
That you were looking for
If there's one memory I don't want to lose
That time at the mall
You and me in the dressing room
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remembered
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me

I felt as if without Mariah's company, without Mariah's caring I won't make it far. But I also comprehended something else… When was I ever there for Mariah? When was Mariah there for me? So many times.

The bed I'm lying in is getting colder
Wish I never would've said it's over
And I can't pretend that I won't think about you when I'm older
Cause we never really had our closure
This can't be the end
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
(And I think you should know this)
(You deserve much better than me)

I was running out of breath, but I found her, she was seating in a rock, her arms cover her face as she buried her head in them. I couldn't help but take a seat next to her.

"I screwed up didn't I…" She didn't look up, she just chuckled.

"Actually, why would Rei want to be with me? I guess I'm not his type, so he chose you…"

"Look at what your saying Mariah, stop it"

"Hilary… who are you to talk, you wouldn't know how I'm feeling because guys trip over for you…"

"I guess you right.. I wouldn't know how your feeling, but Mariah you're my friend and I can't- No I don't want to loose you, I don't want to…stop hanging around anymore."

"Then if you really care about me… break up with Rei" She was serious, the way her eyes longed for my answer, I knew she wanted me to agree. But was I willing on letting Rei suffer once again, was I willing to go on with the rest of my life with Rei being hurt, when just a few minutes ago we shared an experience of lust… was I willing to do that. I noticed Mariah persistence stare.

"Fine… I'll break up with Rei" And I meant that

NORMAL POV&&

The bladers noticed two giggling girls enter the buffet, they all scowled, girls are so weird.

"Well you both seem to be doing alright" Max was the first to speak

"Hahaha Yea.. Were cool, Cheetah Girls Cheetah Sisters!" Now this time was Hilary's turn to scowl, but she was glad, glad to have good ole Mariah back. She glanced over at Rei who gave her a warm smile. How was she going to do it.

"C'mon guys lets it I'm starving!" Everyone fallowed Daichi over to the buffet counters.
