Believe In My Love
Chapter 11... Delay
"Kimiko... What's wrong?" he looked down to the girl in his arms.
She didn't respond, only sobbed harder and harder, without acknowledging anyone elses presence. Seeing this, Alex looked over everyone elses faces.
Jack, well... He knew Jack couldn't score a girl like this... Heck, Jack couldn't even score a girl. The cowboy, he looked like he wanted to get out of there before hell broke loose. The short little kid with a giant head and yellow skin looked like he wanted to kill, and seeing Kieko and Griffon outside, he knew that he wasn't the one to do it.
Adrenia looked extremely proud of herself, and then there left Raimundo.
Alex knew instantly that that's who caused Kimiko to cry like that. "What did you do to her?" He growled in Raimundo's direction.
"I didn't do anything!" Raimundo looked shocked, like he didn't believe that anyone would say he did something wrong. "Kim's crying because of Adrenia!"
"It was your fault Raimundo!" She huffed, although the smug look never left her face. "You're the one who kissed me when she was your girlfriend."
Alex's mind suddenly clicked. Kimiko was Raimundo's girlfriend! (Wow, he's a fast learner, and can catch on fast! (not.) :P) Though, he decided he should probably leave the whole Kimiko kissing him part out, for now... Kimiko was already way too upset.
"What did you do!" He was now furious that Raimundo would do that to such a pretty girl like Kimiko.
"You have no right to know that!" Raimundo hissed, venom dripping from his very words.
"I don't get why you hate me so much, I did nothing to you!" Alex shot back.
Kimiko now pulled back and stepped to the side, and everyone decided to stay out of it.
"Oh come on! Don't play dumb! This is the fourth girlfriend you've stole from me!" Raimundo growled, nodding at Kimiko, who was still standing aside, but now completely wide eyed and angry about the situation.
"I can't help you are too immature and your fullest is only what I start with!"
"I don't need a sequal to myself Bryant!"
"I'm not a sequal, girls just like me better Pedrosa!"
"Stop!" Kimiko stomped her foot. "This is pointless!" She cried.
"You're right Kimiko." Alex slipped his arm around her. "Let's just go."
Kimiko glanced up at Alex, and then over to RAimundo. She could see the hurt in his eyes, but then again, he definately deserved it. But, she didn't think... No... She knew she couldn't do that... Not to Raimundo. She needed to buy time to think... Anything to get some time to herself. She did the next best thing she could think of.
"I'm sorry, but as long as you're both fighting over me, I can't choose either of you." She sigh and walked out of the cafe (that's a pretty popular place I guess) leaving both of the boys hurt, but then again glad she didn't pick the other. They glared at each other for about ten seconds, then ran after her, screaming her name.
"Kimiko!"
She spun around.
"Please Kim... Don't you remember the moments we had together?" Raimundo asked, desperation in his voice.
Alex needed to fight fire with fire, so he used the best thing he could think of. "Come on Kimiko, the sparks between us when we kissed -"
"You kissed him?!?!" Raimundo's jaw dropped.
The voice spoke very quickly inside his head. Excuse you... You dropped something... Your jaw!
I'm not in the mood! I'm losing my girl!
Alright fine, don't add humour to this, I don't care.
"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT, AND THEN SCREAM AT ME FOR KISSING SOMEONE ELSE?!?!"
"Raimundo I -" She tried to go over and talk to him, but he turned.
"Forget it. You're right Alex, you deserve her. You're both a disappointment to this city." With that, Raimundo stoped away, angry as hell.
"Kimiko, don't listen to him."
"SHUT UP, JUST SHUT UP, THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!" She screamed, getting in his face. "IT'S YOUR FAULT THAT THIS JUST HAPPENED! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! I CA-" She was cut off by a kiss, and arms wrapping around her.
Water stung her eyes... How she missed being held, but... At that moment, she was being held by the wrong person. Nevertheless, she gave in, and kissed him back. (1... Check Author's Note)

"Ashley, what am I suppose to do... I love Omi!" Kieko sigh, her tears all dry.
"Just give it time... It'll get better." She didn't know what to say, she had never helped anyone before, and it was new to her. (haha, cause she used to have no friends! haha, I get a kick outa that!)
"But, sitting here isn't going to make Omi less mad, I need to do something to make it up to him!" She looked at the sand, pretending it was the most interesting thing in the world at that moment.
"Surprise him with something, or give him cute little stuff... That always works. And I would know, I've had a lot of boyfriends."
This actually made Kieko laugh. Ashley did something right for once, she actually comforted someone.
"I just... What if he hates me now?" Kieko looked up from her spot on the sand, and looked at the waves. (Yes, they're at a beach.)
"He doesn't." Ashley said simply and bluntly.
"But ho-"
"When a couple fights... And does the whole break up thing... He's feeling the same as you. It's not a serious break up, but it just takes time to patch." She shrugged.
Kieko had never thought of it that way before. "So... Omi is probably having this conversation with someone right now?"
"Well..." Ashley tried to find a way to put it. "Omi is probably thinking around the same lines as this... But most of the time... Guys don't have these sorts of conversations... You know... About girl problems." (2... Check Author's Note) She told her sincerely.
"Wow." Kieko sigh.
"Other than the boys... How is Rio so far?"
"Are you kidding? The sunset is like watching someone paint the sky and the waters... It's beautiful... And the lights when it becomes twilights! It's amazing."
She smiled, at least she could get Kieko's mind off of Omi... Kimiko on the other hand... Would be a different story, depending on what happened after Kieko ran out... But, she still knew it would be hard.
Suddenly, someone came over and sat between the two. It had been the reserved spot, for Kimiko...
"Hey..." Kieko breathed out, looking at her best friend.
Kimiko's glazed eyes glanced over at Kieko and smiled, then over to Ashley. She simply shook her head as tears began to fall, and her shoulders began to shake. Kieko put both her arms around Kimiko's shoulders and pulled her in as the sobbing got harder and harder.
Ashley patted Kimiko on the back, and snuck around to where her face was burried on Kieko's shoulder.
"Shhh... It's okay babe... Tell us what happened Kim." Kieko pressed.
"I blew it!" she whispered in a high pitch. "I ruined my relationship with Raimundo, and it can never be repaired. Alex told him I kissed him, and it all back fired... Adrenia got what she wanted... That's who Raimundo will go with now."
"Kimiko..." Ashley now joined the hug, feeling the saddness for her friend. (3... Check Author's note)
"It's all my fault! I should have never come..." She whispered, the sobs coming to a slow.
"Now Kim... Don't say that." Kieko scolded. "Something like this happens to everyone at least once in their life... It's good that it happened early."
"But it was Raimundo... I thought I loved him."
"Hun... We're only in eighth grade." Kieko tried to lighten the mood.
"Kieko..." Kimiko groaned, pulling back from the hug.
"Okay, so... Everyone thought you two loved each other... And I know you still do, but at this time, it's just a little bumpy."
"A little?" Kimiko questioned.
"Fine, there are giant boulders in the road, but... That doesn't mean you can't climb over them."
"Kieko, they're boulders." Ashley pointed out, only to get a jab in the rib from her. "I mean... Really big boulders that are easy to climb?" Kieko simply glared. "I hope you aren't afraid of heights Kim... It's gunna happen a lot, but... Sometimes, the obstical will be bigger."
"I think you guys are sugar coating it." Kimiko almost laughed. "I think there's like... a big stone wall in the path that I'm too short to climb."
"Then you have to get Raimundo to help you. "Kieko smiled. "It takes two for a relationship... He'll help you up, and you'll help him over." She suddenly realized the meaning of her words in her own situation. Then she sigh. "I guess that goes for Omi and me too, huh?"
The girls chuckled. "Come on... Tomorrow is Sunday... Then school. It should mellow." Kimiko decided.
"You're right Kimi."
They got up from their spot on the sand, and Kieko and Ashley began to walk. Kimiko took one last look at the horizon, smiled, and ran to catch up with her friends.
Little did they know... School wasn't going to mellow this out...

Jack cowardly opened the door to Raimundo's house, only to hear glass smashing. Getting completely freaked out, he tried to make a beeline for the street, but Clay was standing in his way.
"You're his best friend par'ner... You're gunna have to go."
Jack began to try and whine is way out. "Do I have to?"
"Yes." Omi said bluntly from behind, not in the mood for Jack's whining. It had only been two days and that was already getting annoying.
"Fine... fine..." Jack grumbled, not wanting Omi to be extremely mad at him. He sigh and stepped into the house once more.
Another piece of glass smashed. "Ouch... That sounded expensive..." he whispered as he made his way to the kitchen.
Poking his head inside, he saw a red-faced Raimundo with another dish, ready to drop on the hard floor. "Rai?" He peeped.
Raimundo didn't even look up. He only closed his eyes. Jack took that as a sign of acknowledgement and walked with more confidence, all the way into the room. Omi and Clay weren't brave enough to stand closer than a half a foot from the doorway.
"Rai, I know you're probably really mad - "
"I'm not mad!" He growled.
"Explains the dishes on the floor." Jack peered closer. "Oohh, is that the china?"
"Shit! I broke it didn't I!?" His voice dripped with sarcasm. "Not like my parents can't just go buy new ones."
"Rai, why don't you tell us what happened outside to get you so mad."
"I'm not mad."
"Once again, explains the dishes on the floor. Broken dishes."
"I'm upset."
"Mad upset?"
"No... It was my fault... I did this to mine and Kimiko's relationship. She'll never forgive me. I screwed it up forever."
"Raimundo, I'm sure she's thinking the same thing." Clay's curiosity finally got the best of him as he stepped into the kitchen, trying to avoid the bigger chunks of glass.
"I thought I loved her."
"We're only in eighth grade." Jack pointed out. Clay hushed him quickly.
"You love her Raimundo... You still do... You know you do... It's... Just a little bumpy right now... It's gotta happen sometime."
"A little?" Raimundo chuckled, despite the current conversation.
"Okay, so their are giant boulders in the road... But that doesn't mean you can't climb over them."
"Omi, they're boulders." Jack again, pointed out. Only to get a glare from everyone besides Raimundo, who was now stairing out the window from the kitchen to the garden and his backyard. "I mean... really giaganto boulders that you can carefully climb and try not to fall?" Again, he recieved glares, but they were lighter this time.
"Rai, I hope you aren't afraid of heights, because it's gunna happen a lot... And sometimes the obsticals will be bigger."
"You guys are trying to make me feel better..." He finally looked at all of them, only to recieve questionable expressions. "It's more like a giant stone wall, I can't seem to pull myself over by myself." He shrugged at his metaphore, not getting the 'Texas approval' from Clay.
"Then..." Omi started. "Get help from Kimiko... Lift her up, and she'll bring you over... It takes too for a relationship, whether it be sucky, or really good." Omi suddenly realized the meaning in his words for his situation. "Man... I guess I should have thought about that before Kieko and I broke up..." Then he thought harder. "We so sound like chicks right now." (4... Check Author's Note)
Everyone laughed at that.
"School will make it better." Clay agreed.
"Yeah!" Raimundo and Jack smiled in agreement. (5... Check Author's Note)

1) Like it said... Kimiko missed being held. And, what her and Raimundo went through was one big blow up in their faces, that both of them regret, as you read in the chapter. She half knows, half doesn't that she's kissing/hugging the wrong person... But don't worry, I have a feeling Kim will find out.
2) So... From personal experiance, boys do not talk about girl things a lot... But, in this story, the guys are having a hard time, so they do talk about it. Now, from personal asking... Guys don't know girls talk about this either (no offense guys, but that's what girls do... a little slow:) lol) Anyways... Ashley doesn't know guys talk about it. That's basically all I wanted to say there lol.
3) Ashley isn't their friend tecnically, but I don't know what else to call her... And after this, if people don't notice that she wasn't resisted Raimundo's arms around her waist, then, she will be their friend.
4) The reason why he said that, is I wanted to make a point, he's using Kieko's words... Aww, how cute, they share the same thoughts... Too bad they broke up :/ anyways... It's sorta like Clay's deja vu, but Omi doesn't know Kieko said it.
5) Jack and Rai forgot a certain plaaan... You all should know what I'm talking about.
