Chapter 5 "Evidence Destroyed, and Much Discussion"
*-*-*
Time flowed fairly smoothly for a while, considering everyone, excepting Sora, was bitter and hostile to the people they once counted as friends. Tai and Mimi had each other, although that wasn't much - it was extremely tense 24/7. Sora and Tai were still good friends, but were both carrying an enormous mass of guilt that got worse and worse as Mimi continued to believe that Matt was in the wrong along with Sora, and that Tai was purely innocent. But Matt, however, had no one. Everyone thought he was the culprit. TK still talked to him (he was the only one though), but had been drastically more distant than usual lately. He tried, usually a few times a week, to talk to Mimi and tell her what really happened, but she would have none of it. The worst part was that now HIS love and HIS baby were with Tai. And unless something drastic was done about it, it was going to stay that way.
The months turned into weeks, and the weeks to days, and it became more and more difficult for Tai to pretend there was no baby there, no dishonesty had been done. And it became impossible when, at 3 AM on a cool October morning, Mimi sat bolt upright in bed, screaming.
It took about one second of this to rouse Tai. He groggily opened his eyes, but as soon as he saw that there was something wrong with Mimi, all signs of drowsiness vanished. "Mimi, Mimi, what's the matter?" he asked hurriedly. He began quickly looking her over to find the source of Mimi's suffering. It was then that he noticed their bed was warm, wet, and sticky.
Tai quickly snapped on the lamp on the bedside table. Mimi was digging her nails into her palms, her hands clenched into fists. She was sobbing and screaming at the same time, and seemed to be unaware of Tai's presence, or the fact that it was somewhat light now.
And the blood. It was everywhere. Tai stared in shock and horror as the blood quickly soaked the sheets. But where was it all coming from?
His gaze fell onto Mimi, still screaming and crying. No. It wasn't Mimi. It couldn't be Mimi! She was screaming because of the blood, she couldn't possibly be the one bleeding. Tai did not want to accept that it was, in fact, Mimi that was bleeding everywhere, but he had to. For her sake.
Desperately, Tai jumped out of bed and ran to the living room, to the phone. He dialed 911 (or whatever they have in Japan), his hand trembling all the while. As soon as it was answered, he cried urgently, "I need an ambulance right away! My girlfriend is dying!"
*-*-*
Mimi woke up, and immediately had to close her eyes again, due to the intensely bright lights. Where was she? Oh yeah, of course... the hospital.
She remembered now. Waking up in the middle of the night, bleeding and having terrible cramps. Tai had called for an ambulance because he'd thought she was dying. But as it turned out, she wasn't dying. Someone else was. When she got to the hospital, they'd told her that she was actively miscarrying. She was losing her baby!
She didn't remember much after that. They'd asked how far along she was, and she'd told them: about five and a half months. Then they had had to induce labor to stop the bleeding. When they delivered her baby, they'd told her that it would have been a girl. Her own little girl, gone before she had even come. She'd fallen asleep shortly after that.
Her thoughts were interrupted when Tai came into the room. "Hey honey," he said softly. He pulled a chair up next to Mimi's bed and sat down in it. "How are you doing?"
"I'm fine." Mimi's voice was quiet and subdued as she answered.
"The doctors told me you weren't dying, that you had a miscarriage. Isn't that where your baby comes too soon and it dies?" Lines of concern were etched all over Tai's face.
Mimi nodded. "Something like that, yeah."
"Oh." The room was silent for a long, tense moment. "So, are you doing okay? I mean, are you alright with it?"
"With what?"
"With... losing your baby."
"Oh... I'll get over it. Life goes on." She did not look at Tai as she spoke.
"That's good to hear." Neither did Tai look at Mimi. Once again, the silence hung cliche-ly in the air, along with the palpable, almost tangible tension. It was unnerving. "Well, I have to go to work now. Do you want me to come and see you when I get off?"
"If you'd like."
Tai left silently. It was good that he left. Mimi would rather be alone than be with Tai. Sora used to have a thing for Tai, the last time Mimi was dating him. Which had since been replaced by a thing for Matt, apparently. Kind of like Mimi's thing for Matt, the only difference was that Matt seemed to return only Sora's feelings. This knowledge did not give Mimi that nice "Cool! My two best friends are hooking up!" type of feeling. No, it was more along the lines of "Goddamn it, my best friend just swiped the man of my dreams! That stupid bitch!"
'Wait a minute,' Mimi thought. 'If Matt and Sora have hooked up, then why does he keep trying to call me, and Sora keeps hanging on Tai? And why have I never seen the two of them together?'
Once again, Mimi was not to be left alone with her thoughts. But this time, it was not Tai that came shyly through the door. That was lucky. Instead, it was Sora. The embodyment of her thoughts. Mimi turned her head away as Sora sat down on the chair that Tai had placed next to the bed.
"Hey," Sora said quietly.
Mimi said nothing, only stared at the empty, uninviting, bluish-white wall.
Sora cleared her throat. "Can we talk?" she asked.
"No," Mimi whispered.
"Um... why not?"
"There's nothing to say."
Sora looked around for a moment before thinking of what she would say next. "Well... I've got lots to say to you. So, will you listen? You don't have to say anything back if you don't want to, just listen. Please? I'm not the only one that needs you to listen to this."
Mimi turned around and looked at Sora. "Oh? Who else?" she asked suspiciously.
"Matt."
"Ugh," Mimi said in disgust. She looked away again. "If you're going to tell me that you two are dating, then save it. I don't want to hear it."
"Mimi, no! Matt and I would never date each other. It's not like that."
"Oh sorry, I forgot. You two are just bed buddies!" she snapped. She could not turn and look at Sora; she felt that she was liable to strangle her if she did so.
"Dammit Mimi, no! It's not like that either!" Sora was getting fed up with Mimi's cynicism and sharp sarcasm.
This time Mimi turned around. "Oh really? Then what IS it like? Is it a... a weekend thing? Or was it just a one-time thing? Tell me, Sora. What's going on with you and Matt? What was it - IS it - like?"
Sora could almost feel steam pouring out of Mimi's ears. And oh, if looks could kill! If they could, Sora would be in the process of dying a long, painful, and extremely torturous death.
"SHUT UP!"
For a few seconds the two girls just sat there and fumed, glaring at each other. Sora was the first one to speak.
"It's like nothing. There is absolutely nothing between me and Matt."
"Then what was it I saw when I came home that day? Was I just... hallucinating or something?"
"You weren't hallucinating, but you misinterpreted it. Which is actually the way it was planned-"
"Planned? You meant to tell me that you're sick enough that you PLANNED this out? You PLANNED to make me think that Matt was cheating on me?!?"
"Well, yes, but can you let me finish my story?" Mimi nodded. "Well, Tai really wanted you back after you left him, so he is the one who was actually the brains behind our little diabolical scheme. He talked me into doing it, and I don't know why I did it. But I just couldn't stand to see you and Tai together, and Matt so unhappy. You and Matt belong together, I'll be the first one to tell you that. Matt knows it, and I want you to know it. He would never do anything to make you so unhappy."
Mimi blinked back tears as she whispered, "Thank you, Sora."
Sora nodded her acknowledgement. "I understand that you must be immensely furious with me right about now, so do you want me to leave?"
"Yes... and no. Don't go. I don't want to be alone."
*-*-*
So... yeah. Anyway, if you were wondering about the title the "evidence" is the baby that didn't get to come. I hope I got that scene all right. I have no idea how a miscarriage happens, I just have a novel where the main girl has one so I pretty much based it on that. I'm sorry if it's all wrong. Anywho, drop a review, and it'll make me feel wonderful! Ciao!
