He told me to meet him here, at the old studio in Downtown. I wanted to avoid this, but I know I have to be here to hear him, because what happened in Chyuku, was something I know he could have protected her better. I should've known, but I'm a fool that way. I was sitting behind the drumset making a resonating sound on the symbols before the door slid open, and a voice called to me. "Do you did get here," I stopped my playing as he sound echoed in the small room and I greeted him with a wave and he slid the door closed behind him. "Hey, you told me you wanted to talk to me," He leaned on the mirror next to m, and spoke. "Yea, but before that I need you to tell me something," I set the drum sticks down on the amp behind me, "Shoot," He took his glasses off and stared at me for a minute very intensely before he spoke. "Are you serious about this?" I didn't understand, "About what??" "About her," I understood it now, clearer, this wasn't about scandals at all...this was about--"You," This incredulous truth was slowly making it's way through me, but all I could say was, "You." Shou's eyes moved away from me, and he began to tell me his tale.
"I remember the first time I saw her was at Shinjuku Records, I was coming out of the backroom just locked up the back door, and she was walking through the row of imports looking for something in the P section, that's when she looked at me and stopped in her tracks, Seiko introduced her to me, and I knew what I felt, but I ignored it when she met you, and I never seen her act that way before. Like she was exposed, nervous, and cared too much about the way she looked, that day I was going to go to the concert with her, but we had already promised Saga's sister to help her out with the move to Arizona, but you decided to go with her. I look back on it back then with Karin, but I've never seen you happy either, so I let it go." He began to pace now, as I breathed abnormally and caused fog on the treble he continued. "When we moved to Japan, and began our tour, I kept in contact with her, sent her things, and after Karin and I broke up I went to L.A. with Saga with hopes of getting her for myself," This was something I 've never heard before I didn't know what to do, how to act I just listened. "but when I saw her I knew I was too late she was lost to me that girl I knew, this one was bitter, tough, and wilder." I heard him grit his teeth, clenching a little but he continued I pictured her, that girl I had destroyed. Even though I did all I could she never fell for me defeated I returned, never telling you, but now you know." there was a pause I looked dead at him, a feeling I never knew took over me, this; rabid silent fury , the feeling of being betrayed. Opened my mouth but nothing came out, i had lost my words , and all human vocabulary known to me. He went on leaning back on the door again his Hans up, surrendering, I never acted on these feelings, never kisses her or showed them to her, relax; I've done my best not to betray you and to suffer these years being so in love with my brothers girl, his love, his woman, his mars. Yes, I know she's more forbidden than the golden apples of Hera so I recalled myself when you two met again at that party. I knew it was just a matter of time before you ended up back together." I had began to breathe better calm collected,
so I knew I had to really commit and help you. By the time I knew I succeded I felt the aching come back, but I shut it off burying it all in what I felt for Sheri. I could be happy with her, have a better rep, maybe a happy life, which I do have, and now you're finally getting what you deserve brother: your girl, but I need to know if this time you'll be with her no matter what, be you loose you hands or death separate you, promise me no matter what you'll never let her loose herself again. There was a pause as I took everything in. Then, "Shou," I had gotten up and walked away from the drum set' stopping in front of him I saw his eyes through his shades, "you love her this much? Wanna. Make sure I'll treat her right this time?" his eyes closed , he took a deep breath then nodded. I looked to the ground focusing on his white crocodile duck shoes. "I'm caught in her. I couldn't leave her if I tried" he said nothing, I looked back up he had a small smirk on his face. "well then, congratulations," with these words he put his Hans on my shoulder then bid me good bye.
