My Ice Angel, Part 4

By: HeavenAngelGrl

Three months gone by, and I�ve never been happier in my whole life! Those three months were the highlights of my life. Too bad I didn�t value it more. If only I knew. Well, Mimi and I always had the best times. When I was with her, all my worries disappear. Pretty soon, my father�s death wasn�t too bad. It was bad, but at least bearable for me.

For the past three months, Mimi and I and Tai and Sora were "the couples". In school, everyone would say how perfect we are for each other. Two soccer team captains on one hand, and a star soccer player and a cheerleading captain on the other hand. They said that it was too hard to choose, so we are named the co-popular couples. We really didn�t care about titles, we just needed to know that we loved each other.

Practically everyday, T.K. and Kari, Tai and Sora, and Mimi and I would go on triple dates. We�d go to the movies, the mall(to make the girls happy, don�t be misunderstood. Tai, T.K. and I HATE shopping.), the cafe, all over the place.

On our anniversary, I took her out to a seafood place. She was so beautiful I could�ve mistaken her for an angel. Even in that proper restaurant, we still had a lot of fun. She was definitly the best girl I�ve ever met. Sweet, sincere, beautiful, comforting, caring, and the best of all, she loves me. Too bad that all that had to pass away too fast.

It was our three-month anniversary. But we knew that she had a dance recital so she couldn�t celebrate. So we did it all afterschool at our regular coffee place. I gave her a diamond bracelet. It couldn�t have look prettier than on Mimi�s pale wrist. She was completely overjoyed. That�s why I was so happy also. Another thing is, she gave me the best present in the world. It was a green sweater she knitted herself! I was so happy. I thought that my day can�t be bad. Heh, think again, Matt.

Right when I was getting ready to go to Mimi�s dance recital, my cellular phone rang. Then in the same crying tone my mother used three months ago, Mimi�s mother told me to rush to the hospital. Then it was just like a flash back. I got in my car and went as fast as I could go and I sped to the hospital.

When I got there, I wished that it doesn�t end the same way. Mimi�s mother was standing at the lobby, crying with a white handkerchief in her hand. She told me to go to the third floor, room 307. She told me that Mimi�s waiting for me. Without second though, I ran to the escalator and ran up to the third floor.

When I got there, the others were sitting outside in the hallway. They all had their heads down. It was then I figured what happened. I burst into the room and ran to kneel next ot Mimi�s bed. I held on to her hand tightly as if if I let go, she�d evaporate into the air. She still had the bracelet on and I kissed her fingertips. I kept murmuring, "don�t leave me."

When she felt my prescence, her eyes fluttered opened. Her lips were moving, but no sound came out. So I took off the device that helps you breath and put my ear nearer to her mouth so I can hear her as clearly as possible. I could hear her tell me the magic words, "I love you". Then, her eyes closed slowly. She looked so peaceful. I knew she was gone, but I just didn�t want to believe it. Tears rolled down my face and fell onto her hand. I looked over at her tear-eyed. I stroked her smooth cheek and wiped away her tear stains.

"I love you too." I whispered and I kissed her on the lips for one last time. It felt cold, but that one kiss said a lot. Later on, I found out that she died by getting hit by a car in the parking lot when she rushed to her dance recital.

That�s my story of me and my beloved, Mimi Tachikawa. Now I�m back at this lake, Crystal Lake. It�s water now since it�s Springtime. This is where our relationship began, and this is where it ends. This isn�t an one second decision. I�ve thought about it for quite a while. I mean, ever since my father�s death, she�d been the one who I value the most, the one who�s been the only reason for me to be alive. But now, there�s nothing that holds me back. T.K. can take care of himself. Especially since now he has Kari. I guess my time here is over. Stepping closer to the lake, I can see my reflection, so lonely and bare without Mimi�s reflection beside me. I'm wearing the sweater she made me, so she can recognize me in heaven.

Stepping into the water, I can almost feel her prescence. It feels so good and soothing. Don�t worry, Mimi, I�ll be there soon. Something appeared right in the middle of the lake! It�s shining rays are practically blinding my eyes. I looked up and took a better look. It was a girl, with wings and long chestnut hair, all dressed in white. It�s Mimi! "Mimi!!!!! I�m coming."

"No, go back." the image said as she signaled me to turn around.

"I can�t, Mimi. I can�t possibly live on without you." I said trying to make her change her mind.

"Matt, because of your love, I am now an angel in heaven. Would you really want me to go through reincarnation because you suicided for me? Please don�t! The only way you can make me happy now is to promise me that you�ll always remember me...... I must leave now, please fulfill my wishes." Before I could do anything, she faded.

And I�m just standing here like a fool. All I can do for her is that. Even if it means to stay in this excuse for hell, I�ll do it for her, my One and Only, my Mimi Tachikawa.
