Sky

by XionTheBlackRose

After Sora's mother kills herself his father becomes a drunk and beats on Sora. So six years later, Sora's done with it all. And he decides to join his mother in the sky.

Sora means sky, so let me fall into the sky. I always knew I loved the sky, the stars, even the sun and the moon. Ever since I was little I liked it. I could never say why, I just did. So, looking back now, I understand why I was named after the sky. My Mother wanted me to soar, and so do I. It's a silly little notion I know, but this is me. This is Sora. Who I am, who I ever was, who I will never be. I am still me.

I sigh, sitting on top this building, so high above the ground. It's such a pretty day. And yet I'm so sad. I'm tired of this. My life is going to end. That much I know. I've been planning this for awhile. I'm going to join the sky. Just like my mother did. I'm finally going to be with her. I will like it up there she used to say when I was little. She was taken from me so soon. She was on something, some kind of depressant I think.

And she came up here, up to this very spot, and she learned to soar. And now, six years later, it's my turn. I'm going to learn to soar too. Six years I've had to deal with my father's beatings. his drunken rages. Well, no more. I smile, just thinking about escape. It will be bliss, right? No more pain, right? That's what i thought. This is what I want, because I'm tired of everything else. My friends will understand, I don't care if my dad doesn't understand. I'll finally be with the one who loves me.

I'm going to soar like the bird I was supposed to be. Free up in the sky. So, as I stand and extend my arms, walking up to the edge, I look up at the sky, "Wait for me a little longer, okay, Mom?"

I smile and jump, I'm soaring. No pain, no hurt, no nothing. Just peaceful bliss. A world in the sky where I'll be loved. Up here in the sky I am loved.

I am the sky.
