700 Days of Summer CH 14

A/N:  Chapter 14, finished while I was in Italy, as always thank you Scooby for checking over and let me know what to improve on.

Crow's POV:

It was almost two weeks until the end of school and with that the end of the mandatory school years.  For me, I was not planning to go to college.  I was going to use my summer to try to get signed and silly as it may sound.  I would take any record label so long as it meant I could support my music.  Heck I even upload a lot of "The Raven Kings" online to promote us.  While we did get positive feedback, view wise we did not get that much.  Heck even the rest of the band though that if we did not get signed that summer than it was off to college.  Call me in over my head but I really thought we could make it , we just needed some word of mouth.

I thought a lot about this as I was walking up to the school roof where Sherry and Misty were chatting.  I had been meaning to talk about something important for a while so why not after school?  Whether or not we could get together as a legitimate couple or not.  The question had been bugging all the way up to that point.  For months I could not work up the nerve to ask her or even talk about stuff related to it but that day I finally managed to do it.  I even brought some roses to give to her because I heard that was an instant way to a girl's heart.  Yeah I was desperate but could ya blame me?  I just hoped that Misty by that point did not think that all I wanted was sex and me being nice was just a way to stay as sexfriends.

As for the song I know you are probably wondering no it was not finished though I was halfway done. We decided to focus on schoolwork and performances at bars and school etc, rather than focus too much on different songs.  Besides the album was almost done with just that one song needing to be finished.

I near the door that led to the roof when I had finished my thoughts.  However I stood there in place, frozen.  I was almost about to just run downstairs and forget all  about it but I kept telling myself to press on.  I breathed deeply several times, held the roses tightly and put my hand on the doorknob.  I turned it slowly and opened the door slowly as well.  That's when I noticed some voices.  I could hear Misty and Sherry chatting, in the middle of a conversation.  I decided to keep the door partially open and let them continue.  I thought maybe what they were talking about could be interesting.

"So that vas my day.  Though Misty, I've been meaning to ask.  How are things between you and Crow?  Are you boyfriend and girlfriend or what?"  Sherry asked.  I thought to myself that it was perfect timing Though at the same time I wondered if sherry knew our situation.

"Wait, what do you mean?  What are you talking about?"  Misty asked confused.

"Every band practice you stay over at Crow's place and stay at his place for the night.  What is going on?" I blushed knowing that this meant our secret was out to another person.  Misty looked down nervously.

"Yes...I guess you figured it out...we are...sexfriends I guess you could call us."  I almost fainted when Misty admitted the truth.  But then weirdly enough I saw Sherry put her hand on Misty's shoulder.

"Hey no vorries, that's your own personal life.  I am not going to miss with it.  Though have you ever considered actually becoming a couple?  He seems like a nice guy."  I looked up instantly.  Misty asked a question I was going to ask and I did not even have to say anything.

"I don't think he wants to."  I looked at her confused, energy dropped.  Where did that come from?

"I think he just wants sex like those other perverts but unlike them he is at least trying to be nice."  Misty explained, my expression losing color as she did.

"Actually, I gave up on love years ago after I found out a lot of the boys at school here were creeps who just wanted to have sex with me.  Crow is probably no different but he is actually trying to be nice."    Misty said.

"That does not sound like Crow at all."  Sherry said, sounding a little bitter.  Misty smiled but grimly.

"Well that's what a lot of people said about some of the pervos at this school but the truth later comes out."

By this point my face was so drained  I was transparent like ice.  Come to think of it I was frozen like ice to.  I just could not comprehend what Misty just said.  The only movement to come out of me was my head tilting down in depression.  I worked up the courage to tell her I wanted to be her boyfriend for nothing.  While I would have loved to go out there and confess, I thought she would not believe me.

I dropped the flowers on the ground, while they made very little noise when they hit the ground, they sounded like iron dropping to me.  I pushed the door back forward gently so that they would not hear me.  I turned around and walked slowly downstairs, not looking back at the door.  However when I reached the lower level near the door which lead to the fourth floor, I heard the door upstairs open.  I stopped in my tracks, I could hear Misty's voice again.

"Hey what are these doing here?"  Misty asked.  By the ruffling sound I guess she found the flowers.

"There is a note inside."  Sherry said.

That note was there just in case  I still couldn't confess but I'd still get my message across.  It read:

Hey Misty,  here these flowers for ya.  Anyhow this may sound weird but...would you like to be a couple?  No more sexfriends but an actual boyfriend, girlfriend relationship.  I had been meaning to ask for the past few months but  I could not work up the nerve.

From Crow.

After she finished reading the note I ran quickly downstairs not listening to anything Misty would have said after.  I dashed outside and got in my van with all the band equipment to get home.  I floored the accelerator to get home as fast as I could

I later got in my house and locked the door.  I walked slowly in my bedroom, head down and me completely silent.  I entered my bedroom and saw the notepad on the bed with the song on it.  I grew a bit frustrated just looking at it and I put it in my drawer, wanting to never see it again.  I had lost my muse and in turn my motivation to complete the song so it did not matter.  I sat down on my bed and fell back on it.  I sighed, and began to wonder what Misty did after she read the note?

Mikage's pov:

After school on Saturday I got in my car and drove too Misty's home.  She had called me the day before and by the sound of it she needed my help badly.  She did not specify what she was having trouble with, only that she needed my help and to come over when I could.  While I could not on Friday, I certainly could on Saturday.  On the way there I wondered what she could have been calling about.  I literally had no idea what the problem could  have been.  Normally I could tell something by the person's actions when I see them but I had only one class with Misty and even then she looked perfectly happy.  I kept wondering what had happened?

When I arrived I ran as fast as I could to the entrance.  After ringing the doorbell, Misty's dad  came to the door.  His face looked as if he was worried about something and by my guess it was probably Misty.

"Thank you for coming.  She won't come out of her room at all.  Not even when we put food out for her by the door.  Please talk to her, find out what's wrong and if there is anything we can do please let us know."  Misty's father asked me, almost begging.  I nodded quickly and headed upstairs.  Looking around the seventh floor I was amazed by Misty's home.  But when I noticed a big pile of various foods in front of a door I knew whose room I had found.  I walked slowly down the hall and came to the front of her door.  I gently put the food to the side and knocked on the door.

"Please leave me alone dad."  I heard Misty say, no, sob is the better word.  I had never heard Misty upset like this before and I grew increasingly worried about her.

"It's Mikage.  May I come in?"  I heard silence from the other side before I heard a click coming from the door.  I opened it gently and shut the door behind me and locked it for privacy.  When I saw Misty she is sitting on her bed, knees to her chest and arms around them.  She had a dark expression on her face but the weirdest thing I noticed was the dress she was wearing.  I walked slowly towards her and sat next to her on the bed.  She still had not said a word since I came in.

"That's a lovely dress you have on."  I said nicely, not sure how to start the conversation.  Misty turned to me and attempted a smile but it was a false smile and you could tell she felt depressed still.

"It was a gift from Crow."  I got a straight answer, no more, no less.  I wanted to ask more  about the dress but I had other things to ask.

"Misty, why did you call me?"  I asked, Misty's expression turning back into a frown and turning back  to her knees.

"You're good at solving people's problems.  Solve mine please."  Misty said.  I was going to ask what her problem was but then I noticed she passed me a note and I took it.  unfolding it showed it was a note from Crow asking about starting a real relationship.  I smiled at the fact that he mustered up the courage to finally ask.

"What's wrong?  This should be good news.  You finally found someone who really does like you and wants to be your boyfriend."  Misty's grip around herself tightened.

"Me and Sherry at the end of school yesterday were chatting and Sherry brought up mine and Crow's relationship.  I told her that I thought Crow was in it just for sex but that at least he was being nice about it.  I think Crow heard everything."  I sighed at what she said, I had to tell her everything Crow told me.

"Crow is not like that at all.  After your first night together he started having romantic dreams with him and you which he found weird to have right after sex.  He became your sexfriend so that he could be closer to you and find out if he really did love you, not just for sex.  He had been keeping his a feelings a secret until now because he was nervous and that he was afraid you would reject him and that telling someone you love them after becoming a sexfriend is not the most romantic image in the world."  I said.  Misty turned to me surprised.

"H-how do you know all of this."  Misty asked, confused.

"He told me all of this and I had been helping him try to tell you his feelings."  I said.

Misty looked back down and I could faintly see tears forming in her eyes.

"Oh god...what have I done?  I took the only guy whose ever really liked me and just tossed him in the garbage."  Misty looked like she was about to burst, but I knew instantly what to do.  I stood up and grabbed a nearby phone on her bedside.  I held it in front of her and she looked at it surprised.

"It may not be too late.  Call him, maybe you can talk about things with him.  Put it on speakerphone so I can hear as well so I can give you advice in case the conversation does not go how you intended."  Misty nodded nervously and took the phone.  Her fingers struggled to press the buttons due to what happened.  How would Crow react?  Would he be happy to make up or be bitter about it?  These were questions that were littered throughout my mind and I assume Misty's as well.

After ringing for a while, we heard a click which almost sounded like an echo due to atmosphere in the room.

"Hello?"  Asked a tired sounding Crow.

"Hey Crow, it's Misty...I want to talk about something.  Is that ok?"  Misty asked, not sure about the conversation or if she was doing things right.

"...What about?"  Crow asked.  Misty sighed and looked at me nervously.  I smiled and gestured the "go on" motion.

"Well...It's about Friday...I feel like...look I'm...I am so sorry about what I said I had no idea you were there."  Misty asked, afraid to talk to the guy whose feelings she hurt.

"It's fine...you had no idea...Look right now is not a good time to talk about this and I think this should be something we talk about face to face...How about after finals on Wednesday we talk about this?  We should focus on the exams and it will give us both time to think about this."  Crow asked actually sounding just as nervous as Misty.  I don't blame him, it was a subject matter that was hard to talk about with anyone.

"That works well...thank you Crow.  See you on Wednesday."  Misty said, hanging up the phone and sighing one more time.  She looked towards me and smiled nervously.

"You can go home now.  You should study for finals, I'm going  to start too."  Misty told me in a voice that tried to sound like everything was fine.  While I wanted to stay and talk about things further she was right about finals.  It was the most stressful time of any highschooler and this did not help.  On the way home I thought about whether or not things were going to go well for Misty and Crow.  I wanted them to make up and hopefully become a couple but fate might tell me otherwise.  Unlike with the exams this was not my own problem so I could not solve it.  But throughout that weekend and until I heard results I prayed things would be alright.

Crow's POV:

On Wednesday. I was at home waiting around in my living room.  I had finally finished all my finals.  I probably did not do so well on my math final considering I was distracted by Misty that day but for my other finals for English, History and Science I think I did rather well considering I went into all finals mode those days and tried my best it Misty out of my mind.  I failed to get her completely out of my head but it certainly was better.  All that was left for me was too wait for Misty and hopefully fix this whole thing.  And just when I started thinking about finals I heard my doorbell ring.  I instantly ran over and opened the door.

"Hey Crow, ready for band practice?"  I heard Kiryu ask.  I had completely forgotten  we had scheduled practice for that day, I had been so focused on Misty that I forgot.  Hell even if I continued, I'd be so focused on Misty that I would suck.

"Yeah sorry guys, plans changed.  I have some stuff to do."  the band looked at me confused.  I sighed knowing I would have to explain.

"You see Me and Misty have a bit of a si..."  I tried to say before Sherry's eyes widened and she interrupted me.

"Say no more, I completely understand.  Come on guys we got to give him some privacy, I'll explain everything.  For now let's go get some food."  Sherry told the band.  They looked at her confused but agreed and got back in Sherry's car.  I thanked Sherry who told me it was no problem before ehading off and I was once again alone.

After Sherry left, it felt like hours had been passing by while I waited for Misty.  Nothing else had been happening while I was waiting.  It was as if the universe was playing a joke on me like that part earlier with Sherry and the band was just something to taunt me.  I tried listening to some music but even that did not help.  I changed positions on my couch many times but all for the same purpose, to just wait for her.

Then I began to wonder about some things.  Was Misty afraid to come talk to me?  I was somewhat the victim in this so it could be possible that she feels so bad about what she did that it could be the reason why she was taking so long.  I scratched that thought saying to myself it was probably some family matters, traffic or school.  Maybe she had something to do.  I kept coming up with excuses or ideas, time went by no faster than it already was and if anything it just got me more worked up, until suddenly...

I heard the doorbell ring.

I looked at my watch, I was surprised to see only 30 minutes had passed while I was waiting.  But I forgot that and ran to the door.  Before I opened the door, I breathed in and out and wiped the sweat off my head and opened the door.  She looked surprisingly normal and calm considering what had been happening and she smiled but it was the type of smile you would wear to say "Yay, nothing is wrong...oh god something is horribly wrong."  Sadly I was wearing the same expression.

I welcomed her inside and we began walking to my room.  We had not said anything yet.  Our expressions changed to neutral but nothing yet.  Even when we sat down on my bed it was straight silence for a bit.

"So Crow are..."  I looked towards Misty looking like I was about to melt.  Sweat was falling down from my face and my eyes were comically wide.  I think Misty was bit surprised by my expression.

"Sorry, I gotta go calm down, I'll talk to you when I am."  I said quickly, running over to the bathroom in my room.  I turned the sink on and splashed myself with some water to get rid of the sweat.  After about the 9th time I did this I looked up at my face.  I looked like I was in no condition to talk with anyone, hell I could not tell whether there was sweat or water on my face, either way I was a mess.  I tried to take deep breaths but deep turned to be gasping like a fish out of water for me.  I just started staring in the mirror for a bit trying to calm down.  I thought that I would never be able to talk to her.

But then out of nowhere I started hearing something

I was alone in my room at night
Couldn't get any sleep.
I began thinking of her
instead of all those sheep.

She had been thrown care-less-ly by the blind ones
I could see her well but blind to my own emotions
I wanted to give her the time of her life
fly across the skies, the cities and oooceans.

Was it a joke?  Was my mind playing tricks on me, I thought I could hear my song.  I peaked through my bathroom door.  And I saw the unthinkable...to me anyways, Misty singing my song.

Later on then we started to know each other more
But I had much to learn about her and myself
For several months
Confession stayed dormant on the shelf.

My mind was completely Misty, my whole life was dimly lit
And yet she guided me through all of it.

I was surprised by her singing.  She could have been a member of the band if she wanted to!  Hell I was not finished with the song yet, that was all I got.  Yet she sung it like it was the whole song.  It calmed me down and I felt happy.   I even smiled, I walked out of the bathroom door and walked behind her.  She turned to me surprised but saw my calm smile and smiled back at me.

"You have a beautiful voice."  I said.  Misty giggled a bit.

"Thank you, this song is really good!  How are you with the instrumentals and the rest of the song?"  Misty asked eagerly.

"Instrumentation I am still working on, as for the rest of the song, I haven't gotten everything in yet, the story of the song still needs a finale."  Misty than began to smile kindly at me and wrapped her arms around me.  I was a bit surprised naturally.

"I think you based this song on me?  Am I right?"  I nodded nervously.

"Then I have the perfect finale for you.  I read your note, Crow I do.  I want to be a real couple and I am sorry for what happened."  I smiled like an idiot and hugged her back as lovingly as I could.  Trying to embrace the moment along with Misty.

"Let's forget all about that.  I love you Misty."  Misty than looked into my eyes lustfully as did I.

"I love you too."  Misty said almost whispering before I stood up as high as I can to reach her beautiful lips.  When I did I trapped them within my own.  We moved them around, not caring about anything that happened or even anything that could happen at that moment.  It was all about us.  When we were done and we hugged for a bit I got the notepad and began working on the song, with Misty by my side to help.

A/N: Please let me know what to improve on.  One more chapter to go!  It's almost done.

"Oh god...what have I done?  I took the only guy whose ever really liked me and just tossed him in the garbage."  Misty looked like she was about to burst, but I knew instantly what to do.  I stood up and grabbed a nearby phone on her bedside.  I held it in front of her and she looked at it surprised.

"You can go home now.  You should study for finals, I'm going  to start too."  Misty told me in a voice that tried to sound like everything was fine.  While I wanted to stay and talk about things further she was right about finals.  It was the most stressful time of any highschooler and this did not help.  On the way home I thought about whether or not things were going to go well for Misty and Crow.  I wanted them to make up and hopefully become a couple but fate might tell me otherwise.  Unlike with the exams this was not my own problem so I could not solve it.  But throughout that weekend and until I heard results I prayed things would be alright.

Crow's POV:

On Wednesday. I was at home waiting around in my living room.  I had finally finished all my finals.  I probably did not do so well on my math final considering I was distracted by Misty that day but for my other finals for English, History and Science I think I did rather well considering I went into all finals mode those days and tried my best it Misty out of my mind.  I failed to get her completely out of my head but it certainly was better.  All that was left for me was too wait for Misty and hopefully fix this whole thing.  And just when I started thinking about finals I heard my doorbell ring.  I instantly ran over and opened the door.

"Hey Crow, ready for band practice?"  I heard Kiryu ask.  I had completely forgotten  we had scheduled practice for that day, I had been so focused on Misty that I forgot.  Hell even if I continued, I'd be so focused on Misty that I would suck.

"Yeah sorry guys, plans changed.  I have some stuff to do."  the band looked at me confused.  I sighed knowing I would have to explain.

"You see Me and Misty have a bit of a si..."  I tried to say before Sherry's eyes widened and she interrupted me.

"Say no more, I completely understand.  Come on guys we got to give him some privacy, I'll explain everything.  For now let's go get some food."  Sherry told the band.  They looked at her confused but agreed and got back in Sherry's car.  I thanked Sherry who told me it was no problem before ehading off and I was once again alone.

After Sherry left, it felt like hours had been passing by while I waited for Misty.  Nothing else had been happening while I was waiting.  It was as if the universe was playing a joke on me like that part earlier with Sherry and the band was just something to taunt me.  I tried listening to some music but even that did not help.  I changed positions on my couch many times but all for the same purpose, to just wait for her.

Then I began to wonder about some things.  Was Misty afraid to come talk to me?  I was somewhat the victim in this so it could be possible that she feels so bad about what she did that it could be the reason why she was taking so long.  I scratched that thought saying to myself it was probably some family matters, traffic or school.  Maybe she had something to do.  I kept coming up with excuses or ideas, time went by no faster than it already was and if anything it just got me more worked up, until suddenly...

I heard the doorbell ring.

I looked at my watch, I was surprised to see only 30 minutes had passed while I was waiting.  But I forgot that and ran to the door.  Before I opened the door, I breathed in and out and wiped the sweat off my head and opened the door.  She looked surprisingly normal and calm considering what had been happening and she smiled but it was the type of smile you would wear to say "Yay, nothing is wrong...oh god something is horribly wrong."  Sadly I was wearing the same expression.

I welcomed her inside and we began walking to my room.  We had not said anything yet.  Our expressions changed to neutral but nothing yet.  Even when we sat down on my bed it was straight silence for a bit.

"So Crow are..."  I looked towards Misty looking like I was about to melt.  Sweat was falling down from my face and my eyes were comically wide.  I think Misty was bit surprised by my expression.

"Sorry, I gotta go calm down, I'll talk to you when I am."  I said quickly, running over to the bathroom in my room.  I turned the sink on and splashed myself with some water to get rid of the sweat.  After about the 9th time I did this I looked up at my face.  I looked like I was in no condition to talk with anyone, hell I could not tell whether there was sweat or water on my face, either way I was a mess.  I tried to take deep breaths but deep turned to be gasping like a fish out of water for me.  I just started staring in the mirror for a bit trying to calm down.  I thought that I would never be able to talk to her.

But then out of nowhere I started hearing something

I was alone in my room at night
Couldn't get any sleep.
I began thinking of her
instead of all those sheep.

She had been thrown care-less-ly by the blind ones
I could see her well but blind to my own emotions
I wanted to give her the time of her life
fly across the skies, the cities and oooceans.

Was it a joke?  Was my mind playing tricks on me, I thought I could hear my song.  I peaked through my bathroom door.  And I saw the unthinkable...to me anyways, Misty singing my song.

Later on then we started to know each other more
But I had much to learn about her and myself
For several months
Confession stayed dormant on the shelf.

My mind was completely Misty, my whole life was dimly lit
And yet she guided me through all of it.

I was surprised by her singing.  She could have been a member of the band if she wanted to!  Hell I was not finished with the song yet, that was all I got.  Yet she sung it like it was the whole song.  It calmed me down and I felt happy.   I even smiled, I walked out of the bathroom door and walked behind her.  She turned to me surprised but saw my calm smile and smiled back at me.

"You have a beautiful voice."  I said.  Misty giggled a bit.

"Thank you, this song is really good!  How are you with the instrumentals and the rest of the song?"  Misty asked eagerly.

"Instrumentation I am still working on, as for the rest of the song, I haven't gotten everything in yet, the story of the song still needs a finale."  Misty than began to smile kindly at me and wrapped her arms around me.  I was a bit surprised naturally.

"I think you based this song on me?  Am I right?"  I nodded nervously.

"Then I have the perfect finale for you.  I read your note, Crow I do.  I want to be a real couple and I am sorry for what happened."  I smiled like an idiot and hugged her back as lovingly as I could.  Trying to embrace the moment along with Misty.

"Let's forget all about that.  I love you Misty."  Misty than looked into my eyes lustfully as did I.

"I love you too."  Misty said almost whispering before I stood up as high as I can to reach her beautiful lips.  When I did I trapped them within my own.  We moved them around, not caring about anything that happened or even anything that could happen at that moment.  It was all about us.  When we were done and we hugged for a bit I got the notepad and began working on the song, with Misty by my side to help.

A/N: Please let me know what to improve on.  One more chapter to go!  It's almost done.
