We were just having fun, coming home from Valentines Day party, just Sora and I.
At the party I had told him that I loved him. He told me he loved me back. My heart was soaring in the sky right now. Nothing could have ruined this moment for me- nothing.
The freeway was dark, but the Chevy's headlights dimly lit the way.
"Sora, be careful on the roads- there could be drunk drivers this late at night." I warned him
He flashed me his million-dollar smile. "Don't worry Riku, we're safe with my driving!" He laughed a bit. I laughed too- happiness was contagious apparently with Sora. He turned on the radio.
Boston…
Where no one knows my name…
And that was Boston by Augistana coming up next Let the Bodies Hit the Floor by Drowning Pool on 89X's forty-minute X block! The disc jockey called out.
And the song began to play while I absent-mindedly began to drum on the passenger side window.
There were headlights farther down the highway. The on coming car was coming pretty fast.
Whatever… I thought to myself.
But it wasn't nothing.
The car was on the wrong lane, coming right for us.
"SORA!" I shrieked.
"Oh God!" he turned the wheel of the car, but not fast enough.
The red Hummer smashed into the driver side of the car- totaling it.
Our car rolled into the ditch on the side of the highway and caught on fire. Amazingly I had remained conscious. Sora hadn't though.
Sora's head was lulled- he could have been sleeping, were the car not on fire. But I noticed something, before I was going to pull him out of his seat.
Glass was piercing into his chest.
My insides all turned to ash, so slow
And blew away as I collapsed, so cold
He was bleeding from his chest.
His eyes were open.
His chest wasn't moving.
He wasn't breathing.
A black wind took them away from sight
And held the darkness over day that night
Living or not, I unbuckled my seatbelt and tried to undo Sora's.
His was jammed.
"God Damn it!" I screeched, clawing at his seatbelt.
Finally it was off and I picket him up as if he were a porcelain doll – Carefully and yet with ease.
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
We were out of the car.
I remember, it was raining, like the sky was crying for Sora.
I was so cold too.
The wind lashed out against my face.
I set Sora down onto the grass and shut his eyes.
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
The person in the red hummer- they had suffered a minimum amount of damage.
A person stepped out of the car.
I couldn't see who it was though because my vision was growing hazy.
"H-help!" I cried out before losing consciousness my self.
I used to be my own protection, but not now
Cause my path has lost direction somehow
I remember waking up.
People were crowding around me, asking me things.
I groaned.
The people backed off until only one person was left in the room.
"Are you okay?" The black haired nurse asked politely.
"M-my head hurts." I replied.
She nodded and produced a bottle of pills from her jacket pocket.
She handed them to me.
I took them and ate them without hesitation.
I passed out after I swallowed them.
A black wind took you away from sight
And held the darkness over day that night
I had dreams filled with fire and Sora.
When I awoke, a nurse told me that I was screaming in my dream.
"You were yelling for 'Sora'." She told me.
"Was he the one in the crash with you?"
I nodded, ignoring the pain from moving my skull.
"Where is he?" I asked polite as possible.
She looked down.
"I…I'm so sorry sir…"
And the clouds above move closer
It began to rain outside.
I looked out the window as thunder painted the sky white for a minute.
Looking so dissatisfied
"H-he's dead."
I stopped breathing for a minute.
"D-dead?" I repeated, allowing it to sink in.
Sora can't be…
And the ground below grew colder
It has been a month since receiving this news.
As they put you down inside
It took Sora's funeral to hit me with the cold, hard truth.
Sora was never coming back.
No more smiles, no more laughter, no more happy memories.
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
It's funny in an ironic way.
He lost his heart.
He lost his memories.
He battled the heartless AND the nobodies.
He saved me and Kairi and the world, twice.
So now you're gone
Yet a car crash killed Sora.
A stupid little car crash killed him.
And I was wrong
Turns out it was a drunk driver who killed him.
Her name was Tsunade and she had a serious drinking problem.
Both her and Sora were killed in this crash.
But I don't give a damn about her death.
I never knew what it was like
Another thing I remember, before leaving the party, Sora told me that he would always be there for me.
What a lie.
He left me more alone now than ever.
To be alone
This is why…
On a Valentine's Day
I hate Valentines Day.
It crushes poor hearts.
Like mine.
