Will We Ever Be Together?

Chapter 21

I walked into the darkness once more, knowing that someone was going to call me. This wasn't the first time for this to happen. Suddenly, there was a bright light and a sweet voice was calling me. I covered my eyes from the blinding light. "Yamato…Ishida…please…help me…Yamato…save me…" the voice kept saying. I reached my hands out once more and felt nothing in return. The bright light had destroyed the darkness and I could partially see a figure. The figure was a female; no doubt, because I could see the curves and that she looked like someone very familiar. I reached my hands out again, wanting to pull the girl into my arms and seeing her face. I reached my right hand out further and felt her hands in mine. I pulled closer, and my eyes widened at the sight….

Riiiinnnggggg!

I groaned softly as I hit the off button on my alarm clock. Slowly I sat up in bed, wearing only a white t-shirt and a pair of navy blue boxers. "Mmmph…I hate…confusing dreams…" I murmured to myself before I opened my mouth to let out a long yawn. I looked over at my clock and climbed off my bed, scratching the back of my head. Another full day of band rehearsals, which I didn't really seem to mind, after all, we have an upcoming concert for the holidays, yet another, lonely Christmas for me. My parents had finally gotten back together, but they were both busy with work. T.K was going over to Ken's house for another Christmas bash. Tai and the gang are thinking of coming to my concert, but afterwards, we haven't decided yet. I walked towards the window and pulled the curtains to the side, I smiled weakly at the sight before me. Outside the ground was covered with a thin sheet of snow. The whiteness glistened as a white dress one girl had worn…I shook my head slightly as I turned and looked over at my picture frames. There I saw all of my friends wearing white outfits. The picture had the date "December 25, 1999."

"Last year's picture…I wonder if we'll be able to do that again…hm…I doubt it…" I said sadly as I walked towards my bathroom. I did my daily morning routine and quickly got dressed. I stared at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a white dress shirt and a dark blue denim jacket with matching khakis. A soft chuckle escaped my chapped lips. "Damn…I look too innocent…" I said as I grabbed a baize fisherman's hat, I snickered softly. "Hah…beat T.K. to it…" Soon, I left my room and found my baby brother sitting on the couch, wearing only his black boxers and white t-shirt, watching television.

"Going out so early, Matt? Mom and dad told me to tell you that they'll be home late tonight." T.K. said while flipping through channels.

"Alright, hey T.K, don't you have a little date with Kari?" I asked as I stepped into the kitchen to see if there was any breakfast left.

He jumped off the couch and glared at me. "WE'RE NOT DATING! WE HAVEN'T EVEN HELD HANDS YET!"

I chuckled at his reaction and smiled at him. "Hurry up and get the girl before she gets away…" I warned.

"Like you and Mimi? Are you still thinking about that, Matt? Dude, you should try to get over her and maybe look for another girl." T.K suggested.

I smiled at him. "Don't worry about me, lil bro. Just worry about yourself." I replied back, grabbing a piece of bread.

"You can always try to go on a date with Jun." T.K. joked.

I glared at him and tossed the piece of bread to the side as I jumped onto the couch and playfully tackled him onto the ground. After a few minutes, we both laid on the ground exhausted.

"Heeyy…why are you wearing my hat?" he asked.

"Because I felt like it plus it's my hat still! Heh…scared that Kari might pick me over you and Davis?" I snickered at my joke.

"Oh be quiet! Kari doesn't like Davis in that way." T.K. said and tossed a pillow at my face.

I laughed in response as I got up. "But really bro…if you love Kari a lot, you should tell her…I know she feels the same for you. Tell her before someone else takes her away, then you won't be able to have a chance." I said seriously.

"Thanks Matt…" he said and smiled.

"Well I better get going, remember to lock the door if you leave the apartment, and also…just give me a ring if you do." I said as I slipped on my jacket and grabbed my red electric guitar.

"Alright, have fun and good luck at practice!" he said, turning off the television and picking up my piece of bread, taking a bite out of it.

"Heeyyy! That's my breakfast!" I playfully whined. We both ended up laughing; outside of our home both of us would never show this side of us. It was something very rare, but we understood each other. "Well later bro." I said and walked out the door and soon out of the apartment.

I walked down the sidewalks, wondering what the others were doing. I glanced around at my surrounding scenery. It was the week before Christmas and people were doing last minute shopping. I chuckled to myself as I walked across the street and noticed a bulletin board. Soon my smile turned upside down as I started in awe at the person on it. My mouth dropped open as I saw Mimi Tachikawa's name and her picture on the board. "Damn…" I said softly at how beautiful she still looked after three years. I shook my head slightly and continued my way towards the auditorium. This wasn't good at all…

Once I entered the auditorium, I was welcomed by my fellow band members, but all they were asking me was if I saw the large bulletin board. I nodded in response, but forced a smile. "C'mon guys, we need to practice for our big day!" They looked at me with worried expressions on their faces.

"You sure about this Matt? We can always postpone our rehearsal for another day…" Jake, the oldest member suggested.

I shook my head. "No way, c'mon guys…we should practice, I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

They nodded slowly and soon practice began for five hours. During those five hours, my body and voice was there, but my mind wasn't. My mind wandered off to places that were unreachable.

"Later guys, see you tomorrow at four." I said and left the auditorium, taking my separate way home. I waved to them until I couldn't see them anymore. I walked past many stores, but stopped in front of a television store where I waited for the light on the crosswalk to change. Behind me, I heard murmurs from people who were watching the televisions on display.

"Did you hear?" one said.

"Yeah, of course. She's coming back and to sing too." Another responded.

"I heard she's coming back to look for the one she REALLY loves." A female voice said.

I snickered to myself as I crossed the street, not really caring about who the "victim" was. The "victim" whom these people were talking about. I walked home and entered my apartment to find it silent. T.K. had gone over to Cody's house for kendo practice; I locked the door and slowly walked to the apartment balcony, the place where I went to when I needed to think. I sat down on a chair and stared out at the horizon, glancing here and there at the snow. I smiled to myself when I saw a little boy hold up a flower to a little girl who had snow all over her clothes. Most likely from a snowball fight. I smiled at the young love and wished I was able to do something like that especially with the girl I loved. I sighed to myself once more and looked up at the sky, smiling some.

Suddenly I could hear the phone ringing from inside. I quickly went back inside and picked it up. "Hello? Ishida residence." I said.

"Yamato…?" a feminine voice spoke.

"…Who's this?" I asked, wondering who this voice belonged to. It sounded so familiar, yet I couldn't figure out who it was.

"It's me…Mimi…" she responded.

"Mimi…hey, what's up?" I replied back, shocked that she remembered my phone number and name.

"Nothing much, I heard from Sora that you're going to have another concert on Christmas. Can I…be your opening act?" she asked shyly.

I smiled to myself. "Sure thing, when are you coming to Japan?" I asked.

"Tomorrow." She replied back.

"Do you want me to pick you up?" I asked.

"No thanks, you should practice for your concert. Christmas is coming in a few days." She said.

"Hm…true. Well I'll see you tomorrow then, bye." I said and hung up. I sighed once more and looked at the calendar. "Damn…Christmas is in two days."

I groaned softly on Christmas morning, I glanced over at my alarm clock and quickly jumped out of bed. "Matt! Hurry up! Your whole band is waiting for you right now!" T.K. shouted after knocking on my door.

I quickly did my daily bathroom routine. Quickly I slipped on my clothes which consisted of a white turtleneck, a freshly ironed pair of khakis, and a white fisherman hat. I snickered at how innocent I looked. I grabbed my guitar and left my room. Sitting on the couch were my band members, all holding a gift.

"Merry Christmas Matt!" they all said in unison.

I smiled at them. "Merry Christmas guys." I said and handed each of them their gifts. I looked over at T.K. "Aren't you going to Ken's Christmas bash?" I asked.

"That's later tonight, um…can we come to your concert first?" he asked.

I smiled at him and handed him a couple tickets. "Sure thing, lil bro. You can always come." I said and looked over at my friends.

"We should get going Matt, fans should be arriving by now." Josh, the tallest member said.

I nodded to him. "Ok, T.K. you coming with us?" I asked.

He nodded. "Of course!" he said and grabbed his coat.

"Hey Matt…?" a voice asked timidly as we all walked out of the apartment.

"Yeah Alex?" I asked, looking at our second oldest member.

"…Do you think it's right for me to propose to her today…?" he asked.

"Of course, you love her and she loves you. She'll be happy and you've been dating for ten years, is it?" I said.

"Y-yeah…" he said with a blush appearing on his cheeks.

"Don't worry…everything will turn out right for you." I assured him as we walked out the apartment and towards our concert site. I sighed to myself when I saw Davis's sister, Jun, standing near the entrance with a gift in her hands. I quickly ducked behind my band members when suddenly I felt a blanket cover me. I felt as if an angel had helped me when suddenly I heard a feminine voice could be here.

"Hi guys! Have you seen Matt? Did he tell you that I'm going to be in the opening act?" the voice said. Immediately I knew who had placed the blanket on me, it was an angel…it was Mimi!

"Oh! Matt? He's not here yet, c'mon in. We have to set up things!" Alex said, playing along. He said it loud enough for Jun to here it as well. All of us entered our dressing room. Quickly I took off the blanket and smiled at Mimi.

"Thanks a bunch Mimi. Welcome back to Japan." I said and gave her a friendly hug. "Are you parents here?"

"Yeah…they're here." She replied back.

"…Is Michael here too?" I asked, wondering if they're still together.

"Yeah, he's here." She replied.

"That's cool, well we better set up." I said.

"Alright, I brought three of my friends to perform with me, if you don't mind…" Mimi said. Suddenly I noticed two guys and one girl, all holding their instruments.

I smiled. "No problem, we'll be on in an hour, so you better get ready." I said and with that I walked off to see that everything was going smoothly. Mimi looked wonderful, she was wearing a pale pink dress and her hair was back to its normal color: brown. If I was able to, I would have grabbed her and kissed her, longing to hold her soft body against me. I sighed to myself, but I was happy that she was here. I had two songs that I wanted to dedicate to her…

An hour later, fans piled into the auditorium and all of us had butterflies in our stomachs. I smiled when I saw Jake run onto the stage to introduce our opening act: Mimi Tachikawa! I crossed my arms and wondered what song she was going to sing. I noticed her friends' instruments. They consisted of drums, cello, and a saxophone. I wondered what on earth they were planning on playing. Most likely something jazzy, heck! I wasn't even sure!

"H-Hello everyone. Um…Merry Christmas, I would like to dedicate this song…to my boyfriend…" she said and smiled weakly. After saying that she took a deep breath and I felt my heart skip one whole beat after hearing her say "to my boyfriend."

"Deep in the heart of every man

Lies a hidden dream or plan

To be a millionaire

Life without a care

Hey cool cat

Does this apply to you?

Oh don't you lie

No don't you lie

Cause' you can't hide the truth

I can see what's behind those eyes

You're tongue is so twisted from telling lies

You might think you're strong

But you better not treat me wrong

Or else I'll say so long

Goodbye

I never wanna see you again

Goodbye

I don't wanna be your friend

So long

Now we've reached the end

Time for me to turn that bend

When time has run away

And there's no need for me to stay and

Lose myself to you

And be abused by you

I don't need the pain

From your mind games

When you try them again I won't be there for them to work

Anymore

Now you're back and you're beggin' please

Crawling on your hands and knees

You thought you were a star

But now here you are

You have not traveled far

Goodbye

I never wanna see you again

Goodbye

I don't wanna be your friend

So long

Now we've reached the end

Time for me to turn that bend

When time has run away

And there's no need for me to stay and

Lose myself to you

And be abused by you

I don't need the pain

From your mind games

When you try them again I won't be there for them to work

Anymore"

My eyes widened when I heard this song. Was it true…? Did she want to dump Michael? I glanced out into the audience, wondering what Michael's reaction was and how Mimi's parents were reacting to this. I smiled to myself and found my fellow band members smirking at me. They knew how much I loved Mimi, and most likely they saw my smile. Mimi and her friends walked off the stage and she walked up to me and smiled brightly.

"You okay, Mimi?" I asked confused.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for asking…well I'll be watching with the others now. See you later." She said and walked off.

I shrugged to myself as I noticed my band members had already ran out onto stage and were waiting for me. I quickly ran off stage and heard screams from adoring fans; I smiled to myself as I got in place. I turned around slightly to make sure that the others were ready. (Author's Note: double parentheses are actions being done during the song.)

I fixed the microphone and smiled at our fans. This was our big night and we didn't want to make our adoring fans lose their hope and happiness over us. I took a deep breath and started to sing our opening song.

"I wish I could define

All the thoughts that cross my mind

They seem too big for me to choose

I don't know which ones to lose

When I've fallen down so far

I think I'll never see your light

Bouncing off of me

Shining down here from your eyes

Help me, figure out the difference

Between right and wrong, weak and strong

Day and night, where I belong

Help me, make the right decisions

Know which way to turn, lessons to learn

And just what my purpose is here, oh, yeah

It's like I got the signals crossed

With messages I can't decode

Half asleep, never wide awake

And on complete overload

I got so much information here

And nothing I can really grasp

I should know the truth

But I'm too afraid, so I have to ask

Help me, figure out the difference

Between right and wrong, weak and strong

Day and night, where I belong

Help me, make the right decisions

Know which way to turn, lessons to learn

And just what my purpose is here, oh, yeah

I wanna know you

More than anything

I meet you

In my every dream, you're there for me

You love me for who I am

No angel, just an ordinary man

Help me figure out why I'm stuck in the middle

Tryin' to understand why I can't

Why's it's such a riddle

Got my eyes crossed

Thinkin' so hard and I know I'm missin' the mark

Can you help me sort out all this information

I'm just rackin' my brain, payin' attention

But I'm still lost and at all costs

I... I gotta know (I gotta know, ohoh)

Help me, figure out the difference

Between right and wrong, weak and strong

Day and night, where I belong

Help me, make the right decisions

Know which way to turn, lessons to learn

And just what my purpose is here, oh, yeah

Help me figure out why I'm stuck in the middle

Tryin' to understand why I can't

Why's is such a riddle

Got my eyes crossed Eyes crossed

Thinkin' so hard and I know I'm missin' the mark

Can you help me sort out all this information

I'm just rackin' my brain, payin' attention

But I'm still lost and at all costs

I... I gotta know... (fades)"

I understood this song so well. This song literally described how I felt at this very moment. I need someone to help me…help me figure out which path is correct and which path was incorrect. I needed my angel to help me. I needed her…

I looked over at the others and saw that they were fine. I smiled at Alex and nodded. It was his time to shine in the light. I took a deep breath as we started out our next song. A more upbeat song, a song meant for one special girl…

"Girl I dont know what to say

I feel so insecure

So I start off by saying a cliché

Like I've seen you before, yeah

Why play games

And all these dates

Who needs flowers

When all you wanna say is

I just wanna take you home

We can make a story of our own

Please don't get me wrong

I just wanna

Don't you hate it when you sweat

And your legs are going numb

When you get that feeling of regret

And it makes you wanna run, oh yeah

And there I am playing nice

Meeting your parents ((I smirked, remembering when I met the Tachikawas…))

When all I wanna say is

I just wanna take you home (don't you want to)

We can make a story of our own (just me and you)

Please don't get me wrong

So please don't get me wrong

I just wanna

Tell me that you feel the same ((I stopped playing my guitar and sang my heart out))

Someone please explain

Why we have to play games

Instead of just saying

((This was the moment were Alex had his guitar solo, later joined in by Jack, our drummer. Before Jack was able to join in, Alex played on his guitar and kneeled down in the front, handing a girl a little box. He whispered the words "Will you marry me?" into her ear and got up instantly once Jack started to play. The girl's face was flushed, but she nodded to him.))

Yeah

All I wanna say is

I just wanna go

I just wanna take you home (don't you want to)

We can make a story of our own (just me and you)

Please don't get me wrong (don't you get me wrong)

I just wanna take you home (I wanna take you home)

We can make a story of our own, oh yeah

Please don't get me wrong

I just wanna take you home ((I smiled as I pointed to Mimi when I said this line.))

So please, don't get me wrong

I just wanna"

I smiled to myself, knowing that she saw me staring at her when I sang "I just wanna take you home…" I glanced behind me and I saw Alex smiling brightly. I knew that everything was going to turn out right for him. I glanced over at the others and they were smirking at me. Josh gave me thumbs up. I chuckled to myself and smiled back. I fixed the microphone once more and smiled as I said, "I'd like to dedicate this next song to one special girl…a girl who I've loved for several years…" I smiled as I got ready, I turned slightly and chuckled to myself, seeing the shocked expressions on my band members' faces.

"Yeah, Oh

I stare at your face

Into your eyes

Outside there's so much passing us by

All of the sounds

All of the sights

Over the earth and under the sky

Too much cold and too much rain

Too much heartache to explain

Who needs the world when I've got you ((I held out my hand to her and smiled))

Switch off the sun the stars and the moon

I've all I need inside of this room

Who needs the world when I've got you

Oh no no

I walk on the street

Talk in the dark

I see peoples dreams just falling apart

I open my arms

Tried to be true

Seems like my only truth is you

Am I wrong

Or am I right

All I want is you tonight ((I felt my heart beat faster, I wanted her to be in my arms tonight))

Who needs the world when I've got you

Switch off the sun the stars and the moon

I've all I need inside of this room

Who needs the world when I've got you

Who needs the stars so bright and the grass so green and the morning light

Who needs the wind to blow and the tide to rise

Who needs it...I don't know

I don't know

Yeah

Who needs the world when I've got you

Switch off the sun the stars and the moon

I've all I need inside of this room

Who needs the world when I've got you

Switch off the sun the stars and the moon

I've all I need inside of this room

Who needs the world when I've got you

Who needs the world when I've got you"

With that, I smiled brightly, trying to catch my breath. I knew she understood my hand motions, but what I wondered was if I won her heart. I knew what I was doing was wrong, but I had planned it all before she even came to Japan. I wanted her and I knew that if I was not able to win her heart this year, then I would try next year. For the next hours, we danced around and sang songs with our hearts. Literally, we sang our hearts out. Once the concert was over, I couldn't stand waiting anymore. I quickly placed my guitar down to the side and ran outside to the audience where I met up with my family and friends…as well as her.

"Mimi! What was the meaning of that?! I thought you loved me, but why are you breaking up with me?! Is it because of Matt?! Is that the main reason?! Tell me!" Michael shouted angrily.

"I'm sorry Michael…I can't be with you…my heart is with someone else…" she replied back.

"Michael, don't be so harsh to Mimi." Tai said, trying to defend Mimi until I came.

"This is none of your business, Tai!" Michael shouted angrily. "It is Matt, isn't it Mimi?! I saw all those signs he was making towards you." He said.

"Yes…it is Matt…I'm sorry…" she said and tried to walk away.

Suddenly he grabbed her hand and tried to stop her from leaving. "Well I'm not going to let you go to him! What does he have that I don't have?!" he shouted.

"Let her go!" I shouted as I ran closer to them.

"Go away Matt! Get your own girlfriend! It's your fault!" Michael shouted at me. I can tell that he wanted to be Mimi still, but when I looked at Mimi, I saw her longing for someone else.

"Michael! Let go, you're hurting me!" Mimi said, struggling to pull her hand from him.

"No! I can't lose you Mimi!" he said.

"…Michael…let go of her now…" I said calmly. Tai knew what was going to happened and quickly told everyone to stand back.

"No way! I won't let her go to you!" he shouted.

"I said…let go of her…NOW…" I said calmly still.

"AND I SAID NO!" He shouted.

Suddenly I threw a punch at him. I punched him in the cheek and as a reflex, he let go of Mimi, whom I caught. Michael glared at me as he ran off into the crowd.

"You okay…?" I asked Mimi.

"Y-yeah…thanks." She said and smiled at me.

"Hey! Matt and Mimi are underneath mistletoe!" T.K. shouted.

We both looked up to see Tai and Sora holding mistletoe over us. Mimi and I blushed madly. We could hear our friends shouting "kiss, kiss!" over and over. We both blushed as our lips moved closer and closer…
