((Chapter 1: Sora))
Walking home by herself holding her school bag in her right hand she twirls in her school uniform humming a new song she heard her friend's sing during school. Her short auburn hair shines from the bright rays the sun strikes down on her hair, her eyes matched her hair and her tan skin fitted her nicely attracting the male population and she was glad too, she had her eye on a boy her age. He too was like her, athletic wise. Skilled in numerous sports. They talked yesterday for the entire day.
He even asked her on a date for tomorrow.
And she said yes.
Who wouldn't say yes to Tai Yagami? Sports star in soccer and track and field, he was good at making friend's so he was popular, and his grades were exceptional despite his appearance. Now, she was dating him. She never knew she had so much in common with him. Both had enjoyed a day full of laughter. She couldn't wait to tell her mother the good news.
She walked up the steps of her house gazing down her Mother's lively garden before coming inside. Taking off her shoes, she looked around the hallway to see if her mother was around. She wasn't. With quiet footsteps she lurked around the house in search of her mom. There was no note by the door that she had left, she would leave a post it note if her mother left the house for anything.
Her eyes spotted light through the door when she turned the corner from the living room, the light came from her Mother's bedroom. The door hadn't fully been close so when she slowly opened it, she saw her mother hunched over the coffee table and the sound of chopping came from the coffee table. She was doing it again. An escape that her mother found after hitting rock bottom...those are the words her own mother said.
"Mother!" she scared her own mother by her yelling.
"Sora!" Her mother turned around holding a razor blade that was tainted of white powder. She relapsed to drugs, again. She tried explaining herself but Sora had enough seeing her mom drown and fall to the temptations of drug addiction. She was angry and stormed out of the room. Sora heard her mother follow from behind catching up before Sora could lock herself in her room.
Her mother grabbed her arm but Sora snatched it away covering her mouth with her hand. "Sora, please understand that this is what I need,"
Sora was stunned. "Doing drugs and getting high is not what you need, Mother. What you need is to stop doing all this shit-,"
"You can't understand how I feel Sora!" Her Mother's voice matched Sora's high angry tone. "You're not me...you can't possibly feel what I feel."
"What you feel?" Sora took a step forward. "I understand completely on how you feel! I see you suffer everyday drowning yourself in depression! It saddens me, mother! I've tried as hard as I could to keep you away from drugs. But you can't control yourself can you?"
"Sora, I have absolute control-,"
"No you don't! You don't have complete control of your temptations on drugs, every time you get off them you go directly back to them! Even after being clean for 3 years, you just couldn't resist...you just couldn't resist,"
Her face became red and her eyes teary after talking with her mother. She's done so much to help her out, to help her own mother out but what she tried to do always back fired on her. Sora became tired of aiding her own mother in controlling her needs and cravings for drugs and to escape from reality. It just pained her too much. Sora watched as her mother grabbed her purse, storming out the door and slammed it as she left Sora alone once again.
Why was she even trying?
Her mother left her alone without letting her know where she would go. But she probably went to her safe house, a place where she could get her drugs and talk with that man she brought him once. He's come to the house more then he should.
Sora placed her hand over her heart. A part of her was missing and it always has been.
Her father.
She didn't know who he was or if he's still alive.
Maybe if her father was here he'd handle this better than she did. Come to think of it, if he were here would her mother be in this situation?
It's a huge 'what if?' question but it would never be answered; she just wanted it all to be gone. She just had to find some way to fix her Mother's issues. She just didn't know how to, rehab was an option before and worked, it was an option again. She'll just have to convince her mother to attend rehabs once again.
It had been hours since her mother left the house; Sora had fallen asleep on the couch waiting for her Mother's return. It was past midnight and no one had come home. Then the sound of the door unlocking slight woken Sora up from her nap.
"Mother?" Sora muttered, but she didn't respond.
As the door opened the door closed backed again. The footsteps were quiet walking in Sora's direction.
"Mother, are you ok?" Sora turned her head over to the door, but what happened frightened her. A hand covered her mouth as the stranger sat his leg on the same couch Sora napped on.
"Mother?" The man replied, looking around her house mockingly. "Not tonight, sweetheart."
Sora panicked hearing her heart beating out from her chest. She struggled from his grip but it was obviously stronger then hers and she had no chance of winning the fight. She even screamed once he removed his hand from her mouth but all that rewarded her was a large slap on her face, with the man shouting at Sora for her to shut up. He pinned her down on the couch making his way with Sora stopping her from struggling.
With the painful tears flowing down her face she wondered:
Why was the world so cold to her?
