My Ice Angel, Part 3
By: HeavenAngelGrl
About two minutes after Mimi left, I realized what I jerk I was. It wasn�t Mim�s fault my dad died. So why did I take it out on her. And plus, my dad wouldn�t have been proud of me one bit if I�m sad for him. What�s past is past and I have to learn to get over that. So I ran outside and towards the direction she left in. I lost track of her. I ran as fast as I could, but I lost track of her. I searched all over the place. Then I realized where she was. THE LAKE!!! How could I�ve been so stupid? Of course the lake! She told me that she loved that water and ice and finds it soothing!
After I got myself together, I jetted towards the lake. Bingo! Right at the edge. She was sitting down, holding her knees. When she realized that I was there, she looked away. I sat down next to her. We had a few minutes of silence, but then I couldn�t stand it anymore. "I�m sorry, Mimi" I said as I turned face her to see how she would react.
"You don�t have to be sorry for anything. I.............was being a little too forward. It wasn�t your fault. If anyone was sorry, it�d be me." Mimi said drearily. This wasn�t Mimi. The cheerful tone in her voice was gone. The voice sounded so emotionless, like a ghost. This was all my fault. I have to bring her back somehow.
"No, I was being a jerk, Mimi." Then I stared her in the eye to prove that I was telling the truth. In a serious tone I said, "It�s been hard, Mimi. I was upset..... really upset. I had a lot of stress and I had no way to deal with them. And you came along and........ and I released my stress on you. The truth is........�" began. She was still staring at me, waiting. �The truth is.......that..that I........�
"You......" Mimi said. She was still waiting.
"I........The truth is, Mimi, I love you." There, I said the three magic words. Why were they magic? Well, don�t you think so. I mean, if they�re just three plain words, it wouldn�t have been so hard to say. And plus, it can affect someone�s life, for better or worse. In my case, it�s both. I know it�s complicated, but you�ll see what I mean.
We just stared into each other�s eyes for a long time. I was wishing that she�d feel the same. And...... my wish came true. She smiled and hugged me. I wrapped my arms around her as she put her head down on my shoulder. Next to my ear, she whispered, "I love you too, Yamato Ishida, I love you too." I could feel her tears wetting my shoulder. But this time, it�s the tears of happiness.
We stayed there for quite a while. I played my harmonica and she sang. We were perfect. We leaned against each other for support. Her voice sounded like one of an angel�s. I felt like I was in paradise. All my worries went away, even the memories of my father. That�s how my relationship with Mimi Tachikawa, my one and only, began.
