Some Things Happen When You Least Expect It Chapter 18
When Taichi and Sora had arrived at the hospital, they were greeted by Hikari.
"Is he okay?" Sora asked her.
"Yeah, good news he just woke up. They're in with him now, but I want to know something how come you aren't with Yamato?" Hikari said questioning Sora.
"I told him about Taichi and I," she said looking at her hands suddenly.
Hikari looked at Taichi then to Sora, "Well it is better this way," she said.
Everyone had exited the room, Nancy, Dave, Takeru, and then Mimi who was the last one to come out. Takeru saw them and walked over but not before Mimi came running by him, "You two have a nerve to come here," she said bitterly pointing her finger at them.
"Mimi we just came to visit him, to see if he is okay," Sora said.
Mimi shook her head, "No you don't understand he doesn't want to see you. Do you know how much he was hurting about what you did?" she asked.
"I know he is hurting but.." Sora tired to explain but Mimi had cut her off.
"But nothing Sora, He does not want to see either of you so leave!" she said this time shouting the word leave at them.
Takeru looked bewildered at the situation at hand while his parents watched the commotion from the distance, "Mimi come on what ever happened I'm sure he is okay about it," Takeru said pleading with her.
She turned to him now, "Takeru I said no, before the accident they were at the midnight express and guess what happened Yamato saw them together they got into a fight. You weren't with him you don't understand how upset he was so no they can not go see him he might regress," Mimi said strongly.
"It's okay Takeru we can go," Taichi said he looked to Mimi who just was glaring at the both of them.
"I'm sorry Taichi," Takeru said apologizing to him and Sora who then turned around and went the way they had came to the elevators.
In hospital hall...
"Hikari you called your brother over here didn't you?" Mimi questioned upset.
"Yes I did Mimi he and Sora should be able to see him too you know," Hikari said.
"Well you shouldn't have done it," she replied angry and gave Hikari and cold stare before walking off.
"Whoa... is it me or there are major problems going to happen later on with those four," Takeru said as he watched Mimi walk off angry.
"No it's not," Hikari said sadly.
The Next Day…
Mimi was asleep in the one of the chairs in the back of the room where his parents, who were awake, sat by his side waiting for him to wake up both eager to talk to him.
Takeru and Hikari came through the door of the room, "Did he actually wake up yet?" Takeru questioned.
His parents shook their heads Takeru and Hikari went to sit down in the far corner of the room.
Yamato's eyes slowly opened unnoticed to his parents who were talking with someone he looked over at them and tried to speak but he couldn't then he tried again, "m...mo...mom," he said his voice was groggy.
Nancy turned around surprised and saw that he was looking at him, "Yamato!" she said running to his side and gave him a hug.
Everyone gathered around, "Hi…everyone…," he said smiling weakly but he noticed someone was missing, "Where…is…Mimi?" he questioned.
"She sleeping in the chair, " Hikari said.
His father arrived back with Dr. Greagson, "Ah your a wake, how do you feel?" he asked.
"Very...stiff," he said.
"You'll feel like that for a few days but you'll feel better once you start to move around," he said.
"We will like to run some more tests on you so we keeping you here for a good week maybe two if necessary," he said. "I'll leave you with your family I have to check up on other patients," he then left the room.
"Hikari...Is your...brother here?" Yamato asked her.
Hikari shook her head, "He was here with Sora," Hikari said.
"Okay...I need to ...talk to both of them," he said to her.
Hikari looked at Takeru then back to Yamato, "Are you sure you want to?" Takeru asked him.
"Yes...I have too," Yamato said.
"Yamato you shouldn't talk to them not yet at least wait," his mother said.
"Mom...you...don't understand," he said.
"Of course we do son, and I know you have to figure things out but not now," his dad said adding to the speech.
Yamato closed his eyes, "Okay...fine," Yamato said still not happy he needed to see Taichi and Sora. He had to forgive them even if what they did was wrong, he couldn't stay angry with them for the rest of his life. Sora moved on and he needed to move on and let go of the anger.
"Okay that's settled I'm going to take your brother home and make sure he gets rest and you get some rest too," Hikari said.
Yamato nodded and they left leaving his mother and father behind. Yamato looked from his dad and him mom.
Who were hugging lightly, "I'm sorry...for ...causing this much...trouble," Yamato said.
"Oh…don't say that Yamato it wasn't your fault" his mother said. "You weren't causing any trouble it was an accident that is all," his father said.
Mimi awoke getting up she stretched her arms out, "Hey Mimi," Yamato said watching her reaction of shock turned to overjoyed.
She ran over and hugged, "Yamato your awake!" she cried hugging him still then let go of him and looked around the room there was no one here, "Where did they all go?" she asked confused.
"They all went home to have something to eat and change," Yamato said.
"I see," she said.
"It's good because we can talk to each other about Taichi and Sora," he said.
Mimi frowned at him, "Why?" she asked sharply.
"Mimi just get them to come here because I want to talk to them," he said begging her.
Mimi stood there then crossed her arms across her chest, "They were here earlier but then I told them to go away. I don't understand why you want to talk to them Yamato," she said.
"I want to move on with my life Mimi I don't want to be mad at them forever. Part of all this is my fault anyways I knew Taichi liked her so I just pretended like I didn't know that and this is where it brought me," he said.
Mimi sighed, "I guess I can call him," she said.
"Not you guess you will, please Mimi for me," he said begging her. Mimi walked over to the phone next to his nightstand picked up the receiver and dialed Taichi's cell number. "Thank you for understanding," he said whispering to her and she nodded.
.
Taichi's Car…
Taichi's cell phone started to ring, "Sora could you get that," he said to her.
She reached down and opened it, "Hello," Sora said into the phone.
"Sora...Um can you two come down to the hospital Yamato wants to talk to you both," she said.
"Yeah we are actually on our way there," Sora said curious to know what Yamato wanted to talk to them about.
"Okay I'll see you two later," Mimi said and closed the phone. "They're coming now."
"That's good the sooner they arrive the faster I can get on with my life. Mimi can you help me," he said as tried sit up she helped to get into a sitting up potion, "Thanks," he said.
Mimi looked at him, "You really want to move on? I mean you're not angry any more?" she asked.
"I'm upset but that doesn't make it right to be upset at them for the rest of our lives. Like I said Mimi it is partially my fault that I got hurt the way I did," Yamato said.
"What made you change so suddenly?" Mimi questioned.
"There is someone who is standing in front of me, she cared about me when I was hurting and it made me see her in a new light," he said.
Mimi looked at him surprised then pointed to herself, "Me?" she asked shocked.
"Yeah, you," he said after a few moments she smiled.
"I don't know what to say," she said as she walked along his bedside back and forth.
"You don't have to tell me anything now, but I'll tell you now that I like you Mimi," he said
"Who was that?" Taichi asked.
"It was weird," she began, "Mimi wanted us to come over there because Yamato wanted to talk to us," she said.
"You think it is about what happened before his accident?" he asked her.
"It's possible," she said.
"Well were here so lets not speculate and find out what is happening," Taichi said as he drove into the hospital parking lot.
Yamato motioned Sora and Taichi them to come in however Mimi didn't look too happy all of the sudden.
"Yamato it's good to see that you're okay," Taichi said.
"Thanks Taichi I just want to apologize about the other day. I'm sorry that I attacked you," he said.
"It's okay," Taichi said.
Mimi was giving Sora an ice-cold stare but she said nothing.
"I want to say that I'm sorry to both of you," Yamato said.
"Sorry for what?" Sora asked.
"For not doing this earlier, I forgive you guys for what happened," he said looking from Sora then to Taichi.
Mimi turned to look at Yamato she couldn't believe that he actually said what he was going to do.
"You do?" Sora asked.
"Yeah I do and I'm serious. Friends?" he asked extended his hand out.
"Friends," Taichi said and shook Yamato's hand then let go.
"I want to be friends again too," Sora said.
Sora shook Yamato's hand then released it, "Okay then we are all friends again?" Yamato asked.
"No," Mimi said.
"Mimi..." Yamato said disappointed a bit.
"Maybe you can forgive so easily Yamato but I can't!" she said then tears started to come down her cheeks.
"Mimi...did you for--" Yamato was cut off by Mimi.
"No, I didn't I thought about what you said and I can't do it," she said, "As much as I want to move on I can't let go."
Sora and Taichi watched everything unsure of what to do.
"What do you mean?" Yamato asked.
"I mean that I'm not going to be friends with them!" she points her finger at the two.
"This isn't good to be arguing Yamato needs his rest," Sora said.
"Do I remember asking you for your opinion Sora!" Mimi said shouting at her angrily.
"Sora's right he needs rest not a fight," Taichi said to her.
"I don't think you should be talking Taichi. So lay off!" she said shouted then looked back from Yamato to Taichi to Sora and left the room.
They watched as she walked out the door and the room fell silent, "We are going to go you should get some rest," Sora said.
"I understand, guys," Yamato said.
"We will come back later today," Taichi said.
Yamato nodded, "see you later," Yamato said.
"Bye," Taichi and Sora said together.
Outside Yamato's room...
"I could never forgive you guys, especially you Sora, we were friends," Mimi said quickly as she came from the waiting room.
"I'm never said that you had to forgive us," Sora said to her.
Taichi place his hand on Sora's shoulder.
"Maybe," Mimi said.
"We are going to go now," Sora said.
Taichi and Sora began to leave when, "No, were not finished!" Mimi said then grabbed Sora's arm and swung her around to face her.
"What's your problem Mimi?" Sora said shouting this time.
"I haven't finished," she said.
Sora pulled away from her angry, "No we are not going to fight," Sora said sternly.
"Mimi stop this now," Taichi demanded.
"Fine, but this isn't over," she said and stormed off.
