I can't believe we actually finished the project so quickly! We had to do something on Abortion telling people the consequences and display the horrors of it and blah, blah, blah. By 8:00pm we were done! Joey was very artistic when it came down to it and he researched a lot. Mixed with my typing speed and artistic ability as well it was a snap. Of course we didn't take any breaks and were tired.
I snapped up when I heard both mine and Joey's stomachs growl loudly. I stifled a laugh as he fell forward off the bed. "What do you want for dinner?" I pulled the dressers' phone towards me. "You can have anything you want!" I smiled. He pondered for a moment. Okay so we ordered...a lot...hey we're two growing teenagers why can't we have a lot to eat? But maybe we over did it...it looked like a football team had a party after winning the championships. Ah well.
We cleaned up all the scraps of papers and anything else that wasn't needed for the project as well as all the food. The garbage bag was filled all the way to the top! So naturally just like anyone else would do we sat on top of it and bounced up and down trying to stuff it all in. We did it! Yay! Go us!
We were lying on the rug staring up at the ceiling when Joey broke the silence. "Hey Hitomi, are you comfortable telling me who you like now?" he turned over propping his elbow up and leaning his face into his palm. I did the same thing he did. I scooted closer to his face. Feeling his breath on my lips I smiled. "Nope!"
I jumped up onto my bed. He followed grabbing my waist. "Please! I won't tell anyone I swear!" He wrestled me on the bed. "Roar! Feel my wrath!" I punched him in the stomach and he doubled over. "That wasn't very nice Hitomi." He pouted. "Who said I was nice?" I smirked.
He pounced on me causing me to fall back luckily a pillow caught my head instead of the foot board. "Good because I like naughty girls." I stared up at him. My eyes glazed over as a small smile appeared. My hand reached behind his head tangling my fingers in his blonde hair. "And I like naughty boys," I said before bringing his head down to kiss his lips.
I felt his leg go in between my thighs as he let out a small moan. His hands were on my waist and face. He left my lips and traveled down my neck. I squeezed my hand shut closing in his hair tighter. My other hand traveled down his face, to his neck and then his chest as my nails left small tickling sensations on his skin.
We both sat up slowly as I went on my knees to deepen the kiss. We stopped for breath. I didn't feel anything. There was no pop, no spark...I didn't get it. He was an awesome kisser. What's wrong with me? "What's wrong Hitomi?" Joey asked loosely wrapping his arms around me. "Does my breath still smell like curry?" He breathed into his hand and smelled it looking puzzled. I giggled. "Good you're laughing," he said getting ready to kiss me again. I turned my head away. This was not me.
"I am the one you like right?" he said. I felt him grip the back of my shirt. "Joey I like you"-"Good because I"-"Joey listen to me!" I gripped his shoulders. "I like you but I don't"-"love me." I stared up at him.
He placed his head on my shoulder as his grip around my waist tightened. I rested my hands on his head. "I'm sorry Joey..." I put my chin on his head.
"I'm a real jerk...to lead you on like that. I'm disgusting...I'm nothing but a stupid slut!" I leaned all the way down on his head as tears began forming. He let go of my waist tilting my chin up with his hands. "Don't you ever call yourself that ever again!" His voice rose to a stern one. "Promise me! You are not a slut! How dare you belittle yourself like you just did! Hitomi I've...fallen in love with you. I knew that there was a chance the person you loved wasn't me but it was just..." my eyes widened, "an unrequited love I just had to give in to." I started rubbing my eyes. I will not cry. No. I wrapped my arms around his waist and put my head on his chest.
"Joey you'll get one lucky girl. To bad I'm stupid and fell too hard for someone else." Both Joey and I got off the bed and started to move the garbage bag. My side accidentally slipped out of my hands and when I went to grab it missed grabbing Joey's jacket instead pulling him down and over the bag. Our bodies completely crashed together. I finally opened my eyes and saw Joey looking straight at me and I panicked. I quickly pushed him off slipping again and bumping into the wall falling back causing him to lose his balance as he got up. I was now on top of him.
"Hitomi I'm not,"- I looked up to see Seto at the door rubbing his head but he paused when he saw Joey and my position. His eyes slanted. "What the hell is that mutt doing here?" I felt Joey shift but I held his leg down with my knee. "This is so not the time," I sighed. Here it comes.
"This is so not what it looks like Seto...I mean Mr. Kaiba," I stammered not knowing how to address him at a time like this. I am so screwed. "Really Hitomi then what is it? You're on that mutt." I felt Joey's anger rising and I moved my hand to his shoulder. I was still on top of him holding him down as I looked up to Seto.
"Oh this well...we just tripped over that stupid bag!" I pointed to the garbage bag in the corner. Bad mistake because as soon as I removed my hand Joey got up. "Then why the hell were you on top of that filthy thing!" he pointed to Joey like he was nothing. This time I got mad. "So he wouldn't hurt you! And stop treating him like he's a pile of shit! He's not!" "Hmph! Hurt me? Thats a laugh! He wouldn't even be able to budge me! And he's worth nothing!" Seto yelled closer to my face. "You shouldn't have that thing here!" "Stop yelling at Hitomi and calling me a thing you scum bag!" Joey grabbed Kaiba's tie and Kaiba grabbed Joey's jacket collar. "How dare you speak to me like that!" Seto pulled Joey closer. I instantly grabbed both of their hands. "Stop fighting! Act your age!" I yelled.
I was infuriated but worried these two would hurt each other. "Mind your business Hitomi, remember you work for me!" Seto turned his head which Joey took the time to throw a punch. I dodged out of the way as a reflex even though it wasn't coming towards me.
Seto blocked his punch and threw one right back. Joey ducked down, Kaiba still held Joey's fist. Joey swiped his leg under Kaiba's feet. Quickly evading Seto jumped up twisting Joey's arm behind his back in the process. Seto wrapped his other arm around Joey's neck. "I've always wanted to do this you stupid mutt!" My face became horror struck as I saw what was coming next. "Seto stop!"
I dug my nails into his skin just as Joey broke out of the grasp swinging Seto's arm away.
I flew back into the dresser causing the phone to fall onto my head and one of the drawers to slide out. The metal under the drawer and wood itself sliced down my arm causing my skin to tear and bleed. A part of the wood broke off from the contact with the floor and flew slicing my cheek just as I turned side ways. I pushed the drawer off of my leg revealing an already forming black and blue bruise. I shakily stood up letting the blood cascade down my arm onto my previously white now smeared brown and red Capri pants. I was panting and this time that last little string I had keeping me quiet and sane snapped.
"See what fucking happens when you can't fucking control yourselves? Huh? You're two grown men! What the fuck do you think you're doing? God Damnit! What the bloody hell is not keeping you people under control? Jesus fucking Christ get a hold of yourselves! Stop fucking trying to kill each other! And grow the fuck up you stupid fucking dick heads!"
I knocked the lamp down as well as the dresser and threw open the door so it ricocheted off the wall. "Go ahead! Fuck it! You don't be my friend and you don't be my boss! I don't care anymore! Fire me! Desert me! Ignore me! I've tried to be freakin' nice! Kill each other for all I fucking care! Go die both of you!" I slammed the door so hard it snapped off the hinges falling onto the floor.
I smeared the blood from my arm on the hall way wall as I stomped out of the mansion.
The maids and butlers all stood to the side trying to get out of my way. I heard Mokuba yell my name as I ran down the drive way.
Stopping at a corner I leaned against a store called Black Crown as thunder roared and rain poured.
I glanced around me the rain bouncing off. It felt like the pouring liquid itself was afraid to touch me. I moved my face, pressing my hands onto the glass window of the shop. Tilting my head to the side I hadn't realized how evil or sad I looked. I smacked my head against the glass sliding down to my knees.
I stared at the crimson blood and clear rain mixed with the muddy ground. The way it intertwined with each other was so dark. I sighed my head was pulsating with the same beat as my whole body. I leaned my head back finally letting the rain grab at my face. That night I stood there. I didn't go back to the mansion. I didn't go to the hospital. I stood there. I yelled at my boss. Most likely I'm fired now. I yelled at my best friend who told me he loved me and most likely doesn't want anything to do with me now. Ignored Mokuba who had nothing to do with this.
Being jobless, homeless, and having no family and friends is a horrible feeling. The rain was my only company and thank goodness it didn't stop or else I wouldn't know what I would've done to myself.
"Are you okay?" The shadow of an umbrella was over me as I looked up. The sun shone upon Domino City. Maybe I had one more chance. I took their hand and stood up. A droplet of rain fell on my cheek. Wiping it away a smile formed on my face. "One more chance," I whispered, "that's easier said then done," my smile faded as I rolled my eyes at my "savior."
