Chapter 1 the Party
When Mimi came back the summer when she was fourteen. She came to have a huge surprise Sora and Matt was dating. They have been for 6 months now. She found this out from TK, Matt's eleven year old brother. He told her they were very close. Mimi went back to her abandoned apartment, her mom and dad were out to dinner, and she ran into her room and cried for hours until she finally managed to cry herself to sleep.
When she woke up there was a note taped to her door.
Hey Mimi sorry I didn't catch you yesterday I was out with Sora on our sixth month anniversary. I can't believe it's been that long already. Well anyways i'm having a party tonight it's at my place. Please come I missed you.
Love Matt
Mimi sighed deciding she'd go just to stop by and say hi. The summer before Matt started his band which totally surprised her, but the guys in his band were pretty tight so she wanted to go say hey to them.
Mimi's day went by really slowly, but by seven she decided she start to get ready she took a long hot shower. Grabbed her white mini skirt and a hot pink tank top changed into them and started to do her make up and painted her nails. By the time she was done in was nine o'clock. She put her plat form sandals on and grabbed her purse and walked down stairs. And kissed her parent's heads. Her dad grabbed her hand and said "were you going looking like that?" "I'm going to Matt's house." "Be safe, I mean really be safe use protection." Mimi's mom shouted. "Mom! Me and Matt are just friends nothing will ever happen between us geese mom." "That's what you think" her mother laughed. Mimi groaned and walked out the door.
(Mimi's POV)
As I approached Matt's house I could already hear the music blasting out of the windows. I walked slowly to his house regretting each step I took 'I don't want to face him' I thought to myself. But I found myself on his door step. I opened the door and walked to his living room were there was a podium set up with a karaoke machine and a microphone. I laughed to myself thinking who would actually sing. But before I could take another step I felt my self lose all air as Tai gave me a huge bear hug. "Tai" I screamed and hugged him back.
"So Mimi when you gonna get up there and sing a song, I know you have a great voice."
"Probably never" I said while Tai pushed me up to the podium and started to play a song that I knew way to well
"Tai I'm not singing"
": yeah you are let's go you know the words"
The music started and I started to sing
I closed my eyes and started the lyrics
"I didn't know what was in store
When I walked right through the door
Then I saw you over there" I pointed toward Matt
I opened my eyes and say Matt staring at me I took my hand down
"Our blue eyes locked in a stare
I didn't know quite what to say
Sometimes words get in the way"
I remembered I was staring at him; I looked away finding something else to concentrate on
"I remember the night you said "let's go for a ride"
I didn't want the night to end
We'd be more then friends
Yeah little did I know before
We will be something more"
Matt started to move closer to me his blue eyes never taking his eyes off me
"In black and white I read the screen
All your lines and in between
And then your message on the phone
I saved to hear when I'm all alone
And now I know just what to say
This doesn't happen every day
I remember the night you said lets go for a ride
I didn't want the night to end
We'd be more then friends
Yeah little did I know before
We will be something more"
"She's beautiful" Matt whispered as I continued my song. He was shocked how much I changed in a year
"I know were both young
But we know what we feel
We know what is false
And we know what is real"
I stared at him again realizing how much I liked him, that look he gave me made shiver run down my spine
"I remember the night you said lets go for a ride
I didn't want the night to end
I remember the night you said lets go for a ride
I didn't want the night to end
We'd be more then friends
Yeah little did I know before
We will be something more
I remember the night you said lets go for a ride
I didn't want the night to end
We'd be more then friends
Yeah little did I know before
We will be something more"
Applause erupted I smiled shyly and stepped off the podium. Matt came up to me and hugged me.
"It's been a while Meems How have you been?" matt asked me smiling at me
"I Have been good how bout you? And how's Sora doing?"
"I have been Okay, so who told you bout me and Sora?"
"Your little brother told me'"
The rest of the party went alright I met some people danced for a while then walked home with Tai around 1 o'clock.
I walked in side my house and my mom turned on a light and asked me "so did you use protection?"
"Mom me and Matt didn't sleep together just drop it okay?"
"Okay but your sure nothing happened?"
"MOM!"
"OK"
I walked into my room and fell asleep. I was asleep for what felt like ten minutes when Tai and Matt burst into my room in bathing suits screaming "MORNING SUNSHINE!"
I threw a pillow at them, but Matt ripped my covers off to reveal I was wearing really short shorts and a tank top. "Wow you've been working out Meems" Matt said with an impressed smirk on his face.
I groaned "what do you guys want this early?"
"We are going to the beach now get your lazy ass out of bed and change before I do it for you" Tai said as Mimi covered herself.
"Fine get out while I change" They got out and I went through my drawers looking for a bathing suit finding the perfect bikini, white with pink polka dots. I threw on a skirt, grabbed my sunglasses, and walked out of my room. "Ready boys?" I asked. They stood up from the floor which they had been sitting on.
"You really have been working out Mimi" Tai said with annoying smirk on his face.
"Shut up, let's go already."
We made our way to the beach laughing and asking me questions about life in another city.
"So you got a boyfriend yet" Tai asked me.
"Nope not yet." I replied
"What? With your pretty face and killer body Meems." Matt said as he grinned
"Matt stop its annoying. So how has Sora been since we were seven? Why the sudden interest?"
"Ok Ill stop. Oh Sora's been good she got over her Loner stage and is now a tennis player. Oh look here she comes now. Oh and the sudden interest she's in all of my classes and I just got to know her and well it's been six months."
"Wait…She's coming with us, I thought it was just the three of us?"
"No I invited her, that's ok right?"
"Yeah that's fine I'm happy she's coming." I said as I felt a huge stab of jealousy in my stomach. I waved it off, smiled and walked up to Matt and Sora as he gave her a kiss on the cheek I grimaced, wishing that it was me who he was kissing.
The rest of the day went ok except for the sudden sharp pains in my stomach from looking at Matt and Sora making out in various places. The towel the water the towel again and in the sand
"It's disturbing isn't it?" Tai said noticing were I was staring
"What is?" I said way too innocently
"Seeing your best friend, the guy you have always liked, and you're ex best friend rolling around in the sand."
"Wait what did you say?"
"Seeing your best friend and ex best friend rolling around."
"No not that part, that part about the guy I like, I don't like Matt" I said very nervously
"Uh-huh sure you don't. Mimi I have known it forever, it's ok to tell me."
"Does Matt know?"
"No way he's way too dense to see what's in front of his eyes. A beautiful young women who has changed so much in a year."
I blushed "Thanks Tai, but how did you know?"
"Mimi I'm your best friend that's how."
"Oh does he like…."
I was cut off by Matt and Sora giggling and rolling around
"I've got to get out of here. It's disturbing" I said
"Yeah me too I'll go tell him." He walked up to Matt and told him were we where going.
Chapter 2 my birthday (July 8)
I woke up around 10 o'clock do to the sound of partying down stairs. I got up and starting moving around and my mother came into my room.
"Happy Birthday!" she shrieked at me "get ready everyone is down stairs"
I got up took a quick shower, put clothes on, put some make on and walked down stairs. But before I could even get off the stairs Matt came running over to me and lifted me off the stairs bridal style and wouldn't put me down for a while. TK was walking around with a video camera recording everything including this. He laughed and went to the other people recording them with a smile on his face. The day went on with a lot of partying and drinking. My parents kept giving me and Matt a lot of drinks. Matt and I were wasted. I mean totally shit faced. Smashed. Oh well so Matt and I were walking around on my balcony stumbling around. That's When TK spotted us and he followed.
"Matt there's something I need to tell you." I said barely able to stand
"What is it Meems? Matt asked slurring his words.
"I like you, no scratch that I love you a lot."
"You do?" he said questionably
"Yeah I do" I said while getting really dizzy
"I love…" that's when I passed out
I don't remember anything from that night, but somebody else did. I woke up the next morning with a splitting headache. I walked down stairs. "Uh what happened last night?" "You got totally wasted and other stuff happened." TK said with a grin on his face "Other stuff like what?" "Like this" and he showed me the video. "I told him" TK just laughed. And walked out my door.
