You said you'd always be here
You said you'd remain near
All those promises you made to me
To my heart I held them dear
With the hope that one day you'd come for me
That someday you'd be here
To take me on a journey with you
To a place I wouldn't fear
Come back for me
Come take me far away
Take me to a place
Ridden of dismay
Now your words still linger in my mind
The words that say "I'll be here for you"
But for you I'm still trying to find
You disappeared without a word
Or even a goodbye
The ink on the page began to run as one by one crystalline tears fell onto the page. The beholder of the droplets sighed, frustrated with herself. 'It happened two years ago, Kairi! Get over it!' She muttered to herself. Every day since he had died, Kairi had shed tears every night. She pushed her hair behind her ears and picked herself up off her bed. She extended a hand to pick up the notebook she had been writing in, and as she did so a photo fell out. There it laid, on the bed, a blast from her past. As Kairi stared at it, more tears began to form. The photo had been taken at Disneyland. Two people stood in it. There was Kairi herself. She was medium height, with green eyes and shoulder length reddish-brown hair. She was holding up two fingers in the peace sign, with her other arm slung around a boy's shoulders. He had spiky, chocolate coloured hair, and cerulean eyes. 'The most beautiful eyes in the world…' Kairi whispered, remorse thick in her voice. The boy wore a cheesy grin, and had one arm slung around Kairi's shoulders and the other behind his head. In the background their two friends had been trying to get in. Riku was sticking his head above the boy's head and their other friend, Selphie, was desperately trying to push Kairi's head down, so you only saw her hands. 'We were so happy.' More tears fell, dampening her already wet cheeks. 'Sora…' She stroked the photo and then held it to her heart.
The days passed in a blur of voices and laughter, neither of which belonged to Kairi. Her friends had noticed the absence of her voice, and the empty look behind her eyes but figured they'd give her time. Two years had now passed and the situation hadn't improved any. Riku watched her every day, seemingly drinking in her despair and becoming even more depressed. After all, Sora had been his best friend.
None of them had seen it coming. Sora always seemed so happy. But they're the ones who always do it. And no one ever sees it coming; no one can ever stop them. 'But I should have known…I should have stopped it…' Riku thought in desolation.
The blame was wrought throughout the group of friends, each one blaming themselves…and even each other… Riku hated himself for it, but he could feel the thought niggling away at the back of his mind. Kairi. It was Kairi's fault. If only she hadn't've broken up with him. He would never have done it. Riku violently pushed these thoughts away, knowing full well that it wasn't Kairi's fault, even his fault. Sora was his own being; he had done it on his own.
Selphie was there the day they found his body. He was floating in the pool by the Secret Place, face down, his body was limp. Selphie could still taste the bile that rose up in her throat at the shock of his death.
A few people still couldn't believe that he had done it on his own. Some whispered that he had had help. Still others argued that no one would want to murder Sora, he was the most popular guy at school.
But there were always people outside of school…dark sinister people…
