Do you know what it feels like loving someone who's in a rush to throw you away?

Music played loudly from the small set of speakers. The loud music effortlessly muffled the tears and small gasps coming from the brunette. His hair was a mess, there were bags underneath his eyes, and his face was tearstained. Blankets were curled around him almost forming a nest. Deep blue eyes slowly opened and scanned his room to take a glance at the clock; it was now two o'clock pm. It has been about three days that he had locked himself away from the world. His family was worried sick and tried to coax him out of his hiding place but it was failed attempt after failed attempt. See, it started when his boyfriend for two years pushed him aside and left him.

"Sora…could you please unlock the door and talk to us? We're awfully worried about you. Holding everything in like this won't make things any better…" his mother tried again. She placed her head against the door with a sigh of sadness.

"I'm ok by myself." Sora yelled back. He thought no one would understand how much it hurt, after all to adults; it was just a teenage fling not love. That's what he hated most, people telling him how he himself felt.

Sora ran memory after memory in his mind trying to see what he did to drive him away. Of course, he came up with no reason why his love would ditch him for another. Sora even gave himself to his boyfriend, recently too. This made Sora even more depressed. How could he ever trust again?

It's been nearly a year since the love of Sora's life abandoned him. Sora has learned to deal with it. What's done is done. He told himself daily that the bastard didn't deserve him or his time. Sora's third year of high school had begun and he had made a tight-knit group of friends. This group included Roxas, Kairi, Namine, Tidus, Hayner, Olette, Pence, Wakka, and Selphie. All of them seemed to become quite close over time, like a second family. Sora could tell them anything.

"So Sora, got your eye on anyone yet?" Roxas nudged Sora's arm. The two lived pretty close so each day they would walk home together.

"What do you mean?" Sora looked at Roxas and raised an eyebrow. They kept on walking.

"Seriously? Well I mean, do you see anyone you like yet?"

"Not really…" Sora hung his head a bit. Sora didn't tell his new group of friends about his ex yet. Sora was over that jerk but he found it hard to actually move on.

"What? Really? I think I might ask Kairi out sometime. What do you think?" Roxas' face turned to a light shade of pink which made Sora laugh a little.

"I think she'd like that" Kairi chimed in. The boys quickly turned out and saw Kairi. Roxas froze where he was standing. Sora just looked back and forth at the two smiling.

"W-w-what?" Roxas choked. By now his face was fire engine red. Kairi bounced over and hugged him.

"I'd like to go out with you sometime" she whispered. Sora whipped out his camera phone and took a picture of the two. He smiled to himself. He knew they'd be together someday or another.

The flash of the camera took Kairi and Roxas by surprise so they quickly released each other and blushed. Sora chuckled and started walking again.

"So Kairi, what are you doing here?" Sora asked. Kairi was walking with them with her arm in Roxas'.

"Band practice let out early today and I couldn't wait for the bus so I just started walking." she smiled and looked at Roxas who was wide eyed and bright red.

"Well it was perfect timing too. Wasn't it Roxas?" Sora grinned. Roxas just nodded, still being shy and embarrassed. Kairi just giggled. They soon parted their ways for their homes. Roxas of course walked Kairi to hers.

"Mom! I'm home!!" Sora yelled as he entered the door. He noticed a letter on the table addressed to him. Quickly and nearly he opened it. It was from the school informing him that he and his family would be a host for a transfer student until their house was finished, then some information on the new student.

"Oh Sora, welcome home. How was your day?" his Mom walked in and smiled at him. She started cooking dinner and setting the table. Sora helped her.

"My day was good, I aced another test! Oh and we were chosen to be a host family for awhile until this kid's new house is done. Uh here is the letter." he handed his mom the letter. She read it over.

"So…in a week we'll have this Riku stay with us for awhile…Hmm guess we will have to put up the inflatable bed in your room." his Mom refolded the letter and handed it back to him before returning to her cooking. Sora gave her a nod and went up to his room to change into more comfortable clothing.

Ding ding. The tiny sound indicated the Sora had a new email. He rushed over to his laptop and opened his email folder. The email address didn't look familiar but he opened it anyways.

Hi,

My name is Riku Ishida. The school gave me all your contact information to "better acquaint myself" with my host family. I just want to thank you in advance for letting me stay with you and your family. I hope I won't be too much of a bother.

See you in a week,

Riku

Sora plopped down in his chair and started to type a reply to him. Before he sent it he glanced at the photo the school sent. Riku had gorgeous eyes and elegant hair which was a silver color. The shape of his face was gentle and beautifully shaped. Sora caught himself just staring at the inanimate picture and shook it off. He placed his hand on the mouse and clicked 'send'
