Part four…

Jin’s POVAfter talking to Misa on the phone I walked home and fell asleep at 8 pm and did not wake up till 9 in the morning, but as soon as I woke up I didn’t waste any time today and tomorrow were Misa’s last day’s here, and today she was going to tell me why her heart was not allowed to fall for me though I was able to catch it. I quickly got ready and left to go to Misa’s house, I was suprised to see her outside already with her luggage. In my head I was questioning the luggage.
“Misa, why do you have your luggage out?”
She looked at me with watery eyes.
“Jin, I’m leaving in 30 minutes…”
“WHAT?! Misa, why tell me! Please!”
She wiped the tears off of her light red cheeks and looked at my eyes that were gleaming with the shine of tears like hers.
“Jin…I love you more then anything, but I have to go to the airport now”
“Misa, why are you moving? Please tell me”
“I… I am getting married in 5 years”
she stuttered looking at the sidewalk with leaves blowing to the side.
“What are you talking about?”
I stared into her eyes as they began to shed more tears.
“My mother arranged for me to get married to when I was 5 years old”
“Arranged for you to get married to who?”
“Hikaru Yakushi… When I was little my parents decided that they did not want my sister nor I to fall in love with the wrong person, so when I was 3 they arranged for me to move to Hawaii when I was 13 to live with Hikaru until I was 18 and married him”
“So why did your father kill Bin”
She let out a deep sigh;
“I knew you would find out about that sooner or later… My father killed Bin because him and my mother wanted my sister to marry Takahiro, they felt that Bin was a terrible person for my sister to fall in love with and when my sister refused their orders they had no other choice”
“Oh… So this is it, huh? We could never be”
“I know, and I’m so sorry but I don’t want the same thing that happened to Bin to happen to you, I love you too much to lose you Jin”
“I love you too, but now I have to lose you… Ever since I was 10 I imagined a happy ending with you, I knew I loved you”
“I’m sorry Jin, I can’t stand listening to what could have been”
I looked away, I was frustrated… But inside my heart was ripped and felt as if stabbed by a sharp blade. She hugged me one last time as I cherished her warm embrace, when she let go her mother called for her as they stepped inside a yellow cab, a cab that took her away from me… The cab drove away, she looked back and I looked foward a last tear fell out of both our eyes as I whispered, “I love you Misa.” At this point I felt there was no purpose for me to live. I didn’t want to go home, I didn’t want to do anything, I walked wondering around confused and hurt. I passed by Misa’s house one more time it had a “For Sale” sign in front of the lawn, her house was empty, cold, alone, and lifeless. I stared at her house imagining the times I would knock on her door and she would come out and hug me and we would walk to the hill and talk for hours;*flash back on the hill (four years ago)*
“Jin, do you promise we will be friends forever?”
“I promise Misa”
“Good, don’t ever leave me”
“I won’t…”
“I will never leave you either… Your the only friend I have”
“Haha”
“It’s not funny!”
“I know, I know I’m sorry”
————————————————-
I smiled at the memories I had with Misa, even if they were just short ones, I cherished every moment with her. I did learn two important things with Misa, one is that promises were meant to be broken… Since we are not “friends forever”, another thing is that love hurts more then anything. There had to be somewhere I can go, if I didn’t have nowhere to go, but where? Without Misa I’m nothing, but in my heart I knew that someday we would be together, someday we would know that we were destined for each other. I know it.
From Misa’s POV
I gazed outside the window of the taxi as we passed by the places Jin and I went together. Jin taught me alot about life, I’ll miss him dearly and if it were up to me, I would stay with him.
“Your and Hikaru will be very happy”
My mother said smiling at me, I glared at her and did not respond.
“You know Misa, one day when you and Hikaru have a family and are very happy you will thank me”
“What about love mother, I love Jin… Not Hikaru”
“Oh please, you are still young you don’t know what love is”
“Jin taught me what love was, I love him. You don’t know what love is!”
I yelled furiously. She slapped me in the face and had a look of hatred in her eye.
“How dare you doubt me!”
Tears fell out of my eyes as I remained quiet for the rest of the way to the airport. When we arrived at the airport my mother looked at me and nodded, I turned away and lifted up my 2 suitcases as I walked in front of the doorway of the plane; “This is it, goodbye Jin” I whispered to myself as I slowly walked into the door. I wondered around looking for my seat, when I found it I saw a girl a few years older then me. I sat next to her and she greeted me with a warm smile, I did the same in return.
“My name is Misa”
“Hi Misa, I’m… Call me Cho”
“Okay, Hi Cho”
“So why are you going to Hawaii Misa?”
“I’m moving there”
“Oh, I live there! I was just here to see my cousins”
“Oh… Maybe I’ll live near you”
“Maybe… So Misa how old are you?”
“13″
“I just turned 15″
“Oh, cool”
The rest of the ride on the plane Cho and I didn’t really talk, I took a nap for awhile and then we ate. Then she took a nap and I did again, the next time I woke up was to the voice of the flight attendent telling us we would be landing soon. A few minutes later after we landed I went to find Hikaru and his family.
“Misa!”
I turned to see who it was hoping it was Hikaru so I could just go home and take a nap.
“Hey Hikaru!”
I ran up to him and gave him a friendly hug, truth was I liked Hikaru but only as a friend. He’s really nice, sweet, and he has a nice smile but I only love him as a friend of course.
“Misa, long time no see!”
He said while we hugged.
“I know, how’s life?”
“Good, You?”
“Could be better, I wish I was home”
“Well hopefully you’ll find where we live to be home”
“I hope so too, thanks for being welcoming”
“Your welcome, let’s go to the car I’ll carry your luggage”
“Thanks!”
I felt so welcomed after the flight, but I never did forget about Jin. In the car I talked to Hikaru and his family till my phone rang;
*Ring, Ring*
“Hello?”
“Misa!”
“Jin?! OH MY GOODNESS! HI JIN!”
“Hey, how are you?”
“Okay… I miss you”
“I miss you too, I wish I could be holding you right now”
“Same here, Well I got to go sorry”
“Okay bye”
“Bye”
*hang up*
“Who was that?”
Hikaru’s mother asked.
“Oh… My cousin”
I replied so they wouldn’t think I loved someone other then their son.
“Oh, homesick?”
“You can say that…”
In my head I thought “I wasn’t just homesick… I was love sick”-Sorry if this part is short.                                Part Five… Misa’s POV
The car soon pulled up to a incredibly beautiful mansion. I guess this was one of the reason’s my mother wanted me to marry Hikaru, for his money. My eye’s wondered the fabulous structure of the house;
“Like it?”
I turned to Hikaru smiling as I nodded.
“Good, this will be your home now and when we get married”
I felt my smile slowly fade as I heard the word “married” the only person I ever wanted to marry was Jin.
“Misa, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing”
I said faking a smile.
“Good, I’ll show you your room”
We both entered the house and it was even more amazing then the outside. It was clean and had expensive furniture and hanging picutres of previous members of Hikaru’s family. Hikaru’s sister ran up to me and gave me a hug, she was 10 and still remembered me.
“Misa! Your here!”
I hugged her back.
“Hi Hana! Nice seeing you again!”
“Nice seeing you too, Misa”
“Not meaning to break up this reunion but I have to show Misa her room”
Hikaru said looking at both of us, I laughed and we both went upstairs.
“So Hana is happy to see you, I can’t imagine who wouldn’t be happy to see you”
I blushed and smiled.
“I’m happy to see you and Hana too”
I said giving him a hug seeing as I needed a hug more then anything right now.
“If theres anything you need just call me okay?”
“Thanks Hikaru”
“No problem”
He said walking out of the room. When I made sure he was gone I let out a deep sigh and sat on the head board of the bed, Missing Jin.Jin’s POV
“So what are you going to do?”
“I don’t know Ryou, I’m just really messed up right now”
“But Misa’s only been gone for a day”
“It doesn’t matter Ryou, I love her”
“I can’t imagine losing my girl for a day”
I rolled my eyes and looked out the window whispering “Misa, I need you.” I watched clouds roll through the sky wondering what Misa was doing. How could she leave me like that? How could she tell me she loved me and then just leave me?
“You’ll be okay Jin”
Ryou said tapping my back and walking away from the room. I didn’t say goodbye I just continued to look out the window.*Ring, Ring*
“Hello?”
“Jin?”
“Misa!”
“Hey, I can’t talk for long Hikaru is going to show me around Hawaii”
“Oh…”
“Sorry, I miss you so much”
“I miss you too, I miss going on the hill with you”
“I miss going on the hill with you too… Thing’s will never be the same Jin”
“I know…”
*In the backround*
“MISA! C’MON!”
“That’s Hikaru, I have to go, bye”
“Bye Misa…”
I hung up the phone and thought how stupid I was saying to myself “Oh and Misa by the way I love you”. I needed every minute I could to tell Misa I loved her, why could we never be? I was so frustrated I threw my phone at the floor in anger and grabbed my jacket and stormed out of the house and walked to the hill. Passing by Ryou and his girlfriend only killed me inside, He had someone to hold… While I had no one. When I reached the hill I lay down leaning against a tree wanting to do what most guys don’t usually do, cry. I had to stay strong for Misa and myself. Who was this Hikaru anyways? Was he going to take care of Misa, or treat her like she’s nothing. I just wonder how long I could live without her…
“Hey Jin!”
I looked up seeing Aika smiling.
“Hey Aika…”
“Why so down?”
“I’m not down Aika”
“Yes you are, your eyes are wet and you look tired”
“Look, it’s nothing.. Stay out of it”
“It’s Misa isn’t it?”
She said dis regarding my request.
“I said it’s nothing! Leave me alone!”
I got up and stormed off wanting peace and quite to think.
“Jin wait!”
She grabbed my arm, but I didn’t look at her I didn’t want nor need her help right now.
“Jin please, let’s talk… Something about Misa is bugging you”
“Yea, Okay your right! She moved away to live with her future husband, she said she loved me and she just left me! There happy?”
I said breaking down crying as Aika loosened her grip on my arm and hugged me while I sat on the floor crying. Thinking of nothing but Misa.
“Jin, it will be okay”
“It won’t… Misa and I could never be, I wish I never fell in love with her”
That day I couldn’t stop crying, I never cried so much in my life… Love really hurts, sometimes I would fall asleep and have dreams of Misa and I together, happy, and married. A year went by and I not even for did I stop thinking about Misa, but I did eventually stop calling. She always had to go, her and Hikaru always had something to do. They sounded so happy together, I just didn’t want to bother her anymore. All I ever wanted for Misa was her to be happy, sometimes she would sound irritated of me calling and she never told me she loved me anymore, even if Hikaru wasn’t around. At night’s I would stay up all night thinking of Misa, wondering if she still loved me. Or if everything I thought was just a lie.
*Ring, Ring*
“Hello?”
“Hey Jin, it’s me Ryou”
Ryou’s voice was filled with joy.
“Why do you sound so happy? And why are you calling me at 12 in the morning?”
“Sorry, sorry, but I asked Naomi to marrry me and she said yes!”
“Dude Ryou, your only 16″
“I know, but we’ve been together for 3 years and I really love her. Besides my parents know so its cool”
“Oh, congrats…”
“Why don’t you sound happy for us?”
“Because… I could only dream of how you feel right now, Why can’t Misa be here”
I suddenly felt tears run down my face.
“I got to go Jin, Naomi and I are going to go celebrate”
“…Bye Ryou”
I hung up before he could say bye and called Aika.
*Ring, Ring*
“Hello??”
Aika said in a tired voice, I could tell I woke her up from her sleep.
“Aika? Sorry to wake you it’s Jin”
“Oh hey Jin, what’s up?”
“I need your help”
“With what?”
“Misa, I need help to get a ticket to go to Hawaii”
“Are you serious? You want to go to Hawaii to see her?”
“Yes, more then anything. I just need to see how she is”
“Okay Jin, I’ll ask my dad if he can get some tickets for you”
“Oh and can you go with me? I can’t go alone”
“Haha, sure. Can I go back to sleep now?”
“Haha yea, thanks Aika I owe you!”
“Mhm, Night Jin”
“Night, Aika”
Since Misa has been gone I became close friends with Aika again, her dad is rich and can basicly go to any place in the world he wants. Which is why I seeked for Aika’s help getting tickets to go see Misa. I wanted to go to tell Misa I loved her again… Before it’s too late… Before she’s married. The next morning I went to Aika’s house and me, her and her father planned out our trip to Hawaii. Her father said he was glad to see me again and he would be honored to help me get Misa back.
“So when do you want to go?”
Aika’s father asked me.
“As soon as possible”
He smiled at me.
“How about tomorrow night?”
“Sure that would be great”
“Okay your all set son, Your plane will depart tomorrow at 8 PM, you will stay at Hawaii as long as you want but I can’t provide you a hotel sorry”
“It’s okay you did enough, Thank you”
“Your welcome”
I stood up as he pushed his laptop aside and shook my hand.
“Oh and pick up your ticket at 7 PM under your name, make sure you bring your ID”
“Okay, thanks!”
“Your welcome”
Aika smiled at me.
“Oh, but Aika you have to be back here in 2 weeks”
“Okay dad”
She rolled her eyes and we both walked out of her house to go to mines and get packed.
“So how long do you plan on staying in Hawaii?”
“I don’t know yet I just need some time with Misa, if she’ll give me some of her time”
“Wow, this is just like one of those movies”
I looked at her and laughed, She laughed along with me. When we got to my house she helped me pack for 2 hours, I returned the favor by helping her pack at her house for 3 hours. We stayed up basicly all night getting ready to go to Hawaii. We had fun packing, but she soon fell asleep, I carried her to her bed and put her suitcase in the corner of her room. Aika was the best friend I could have at this point. She gave me advice when ever I needed it, she picked me up when I was down… But I couldn’t help but think and talk about Misa too much, but Aika understood.
–The next morning–
I woke up at 11 AM, I was so exhausted from packing. I called Aika and she was barely even awake, we both agreed to meet up at the hill. I told my mother that I would be going to Hawaii and don’t know when I would be returning, She didn’t mind… She never really did care. I took the same path I always take walking to the hill, this time I remembered every step wondering if I would ever walk this path again… Or if I would ever take this path to the hill to find Misa laying down on the hill gazing at the fluffy white clouds roll by on the light blue backround. I soon stopped wondering and day dreaming when I saw Aika on the hill smiling at me.
“Hey Jin!”
“Hey Aika, I just wanted to thank you for all you did”
“What do you mean? I didn’t pay for your ticket”
“I know, but you helped me through all my tough times and listened to me when all I talked about was Misa”
She smiled at me once more and gave me a warm hug.
“Your welcome”
She said cheerfully. We both sat and talked on the hill about what we would do when we got to Hawaii. At 2 AM we left the hill and went to the mall for fun and out of boredom, we took silly photo booth pictures and bought a few things, at 5 AM we both head to our houses to pick up our things and head to the airport to pick up our tickets..
