Chapter One
Goodbye For Now
Every human has wishes. The musician playing his guitar in the loneliness of his room, the poor guy waiting for food… Even the old man dying in his bed has them. Wishes proof there is a future. This is a story about wishes. About the wishes you make looking to the stars, begging God to make them true.
Every human has secrets. From the famous singer that wins millions per week...to the next door boy that nobody knows. Secrets proof we have fears fears. This is a story about secrets. About secrets you keep so deep inside, and even try to hide them from God.
Mariam wake up! Ozuma yelled, making the blue haired girl open her eyes suddenly.
-Do you think these are hours to be sleeping! – He asked, looking angry
-But it's too early – she replied
-It's nine o clock, late enough for you. Don't you remember we have work to do!
-You just think about working! Remember: People rest.
-Oh my God this girl drives me crazy. Say whatever you want, but go out and that blond guy's bit beast
-whatever
This was not the first time they had a fight like that. Ozuma always wanted the whole team to stay up almost all night training, and wake up early the day after. Although she was really tired, she went to find max and try to get his bit beast.
She found max at the usual place and challenged him. It was a long battle, but at the end she won.
-Finally I'm going to have your bit beast – Mariam said with an evil smile.
-Please Mariam, I know you just beat me and that this is your mission, but please understand me. Draciel is not only my bit beast is my friend. You can't take it.
-Max, this is not about Draciel being your friend, is about a due I have
-Please Mariam, beyblade won't be the same without him, please. Besides, I don't know why you're doing this, you know I can take care of Draciel
-It's not about wanting to do it, it's about an obligation.
Tears were falling form the boy's eyes while Mariam tried not to look at him. She tried to resist but at the end, she gave up and showed compassion for Max.
-Ok I won't take your bit beast. Oh my God Ozuma won't like this
-Thanks Mariam. It really means a lot to me.
Mariam went walking to the place the saint shields were living. She spent the whole way thinking what would be Ozuma's reaction to what she did.
I can almost imagine his face…damn, why do I keep caring about what he thinks. Ok, I like him a little, but it's not a big deal…well, maybe it is. Wow, how good were the times we had together when there was no mission, no work. They weren't many, but in some small instants he had showed me good feelings…but not anymore since he is taking this everyday more seriously. I don't know what I even worry about that.
Mariam stopped in front of the house, but instead of entering, she sat on the sidewalk to look at the sky. It was getting dark and the cold breeze announced the night was coming.
If he only stopped being a jerk with me, if he only showed me some affection, if he only…I wish he liked me, I really wish he felt about me the same way I do about him. I wouldn't have to hide it anymore…
-Mariam! The voice waked her up from her thoughts.
-Hey Ozuma
-Did you beat him?
-Eh….yes – she answered, knowing which the next question was.
-And where is the bit beast?
-mmm…I don't have it - she said, very calmed
-WHAT? Why?
-I didn't take it. I saw it was really important to him and I think he can take care of it.
-Are you crazy? Don't you understand? This is our mission, is more important than anything!
-Ozuma, listen, I don't feel good with this
-I don't care about your feelings!
-You see? That's your problem, you don't understand anybody, and you don't care about anyone's feelings.
-Look, I'm the leader and you have to follow my orders, with no complaints.
-I have news for you then: I don't want to.
-Then you're not part of the team anymore.
-Fine, I'm going tomorrow. However, I'm tired of you and your insane obsession – she said firmly.
-Go wherever you want! And remember that I'm not interested in seeing you again – He yelled, having the little feeling that she would regret it.
Mariam didn't say anything more, just turned back and went to sleep. Next day would be so long…
Ozuma stayed at the same place he was, recovering his peace, when he realized how big was the thing that was just going to happen.
Did I just tell her to go? Oh yes I did. And she is going tomorrow…what I'm going to do now?...Wait a minute, why I'm thinking about this, I should be happy cause she is going, finally I won't have this annoying and rebel girl here, but I don't feel that way…
The day after, Mariam woke up early, even before Ozuma. She packed her things and walked outside the house. She had already say goodbye to Joseph and Dunga the night before, so there was nothing left to do. She gave a look to the street while a lot of moments passed trough her mind like a flashback. She was ready to walk by when she heard her name.
-Mariam
-What is it now Ozuma?
-Bye
She didn't answer to him. She just didn't felt in the mood to say a word. She turned around and walked fast to the train station. She didn't know exactly where she was going, so she bought a ticket for the earliest train. It was going to Sendai, a city on the north of Japan.
What do you think? Please review! I need feedback to continue... :-p
