Part 1
"I... I don't wanna go!" Sora shouted. "You
*have* to," Tai said, "If you don't, I'll
have to dump you again! Mwahahaha...." Sora
bit her bottom lip to stop herself
from crying. The day before, Tai had broken
up with her. "Haha! I'm gonna get you
Sora! Sora... Sora... Sora...
"...Sora? Sora?" Sora's eyes shot open. Above
her, she saw Matt. "Sora! Finally, you're
awake! I was wondering if you were ever going
to wake up!" he said, and grinned.
"C'mon... You look too tired to drive tonight.
I'll take you to my place, and we'll come
back and get your car in the morning. Sorry
for waking you, but I couldn't just let you
sleep here all night... this place closes
in a half hour."
Sora finally remembered where she was. It was
the night of Mimi's 20th birthday... Well,
the morning after anyway. Mimi had come back
to Japan for her birthday, wanting to
spend it with all her friends. Tai had broken
up with Sora a few hours into the party, and
went to dance with Mimi. Luckily she blew
him off and went to dance with Joe. Sora had
just sat down at the bar, drinking glass after
glass of Wild Cherry Pepsi and Moutain
Dew. She looked at her watch. It read 4:31
AM. She was at a Night Club. The only
people left here were her, Matt, and two other
people she didn't know.
"Oh... Okay," she replied. Matt held out his
hand. "Shall we?" he asked. Sora laughed
sleepily and took his hand anyway. They started
walking to Matt's car, when Sora leaned
over and put her head on Matt's arm as they
walked. What am I *doing*? she thought,
and quickly moved her head away. "It's okay...
I don't think you're weird or anything if
you do that. After all, we're friends, aren't
we? And anyways, how are you feeling?" Matt
said, obviously referring to what had happened
between Sora and Tai. "Well, of course
we're friends... and if you don't think it's
weird..." Sora said, putting her head back on his
arm, "And I'm not feeling the best... I feel
like I got ran over by a giant semi, and then got
all my vital intestines ripped out. I'm confused,
and angry at Tai... not to mention totally
tired." Matt nodded, understanding. Sora knew
she could trust him with everything... he'd
always been a really good friend. "Don't worry...
It'll get better," Matt said, giving her a
gentle hug and opening the door to his station
wagon for her. She got in and sat down, and
he closed the door behind her, walking around
and getting in himself. He closed his door,
started the engine, and they were off.
"You can use my bed. I'll go sleep on the couch,"
he said once they were inside. It wasn't
very big... He'd only gotten a small, one-bedroom
apartment for while he was in college.
Anything was better than the filthy dorms.
Sora's apartment was a couple blocks away,
even though she went to the same college.
"No no... It's okay. I'll sleep on the floor," Sora
said. "You sure?" Matt asked. "Of course."
Matt shrugged. "Alright then... Just wake me
up if you need anything, then." He lead her
to his room, and gave her two blankets and
two pillows. "Thanks, Matt," Sora said as
Matt turned off the light. "No problem," he said.
Even though she couldn't see it, Sora was
almost certain he smiled. She settled into her
makeshift bed on the floor, and hugged one
of her pillows. She'd thought that she'd never
get to sleep after that party, but she felt
safe where she was. Regardless, she sighed
heavily into the pillow, and wondered what
had gone wrong.
Once Matt's eyes adjusted to the dark, he peered
over his bed and looked at Sora
sleeping. She had one blanket over her, while
laying on the other. One of the pillows was
under her head, and she was clutching the
other tightly in her arms. Her face didn't look
peaceful, as he always remembered it looking
when he'd watch her sleep in the Digital
World. She was mumbling something in her sleep,
and her foot kept making sudden jolts.
"No..." she muttered, "Don't touch me... leave...
no..." Matt quietly listened to her, but
couldn't stand it any longer. In hopes to
make her nightmare stop, he pried her hand from
the pillow and slipped is own into it.
"I said don't touch me! I hate you!" she just
about screamed, pulling her hand away and
slapping Matt's. She breathed heavily, and
looked at her hand, and then the one she had
slapped. She looked up, as if to see whose
it was, and saw Matt staring at her, shocked.
She gasped. "Oh, Matt... I'm so sorry... I...
I thought... I... you..." she stuttered. "You
didn't think it was me you were slapping?"
Matt asked, eyebrow raised. "Yeah... I'm so
sorry Matt... I honestly-" "Enough, enough,"
Matt said, chuckling a little, "I forgive you.
But isn't there anything I can do? You seem
to be having nightmares." Sora shook her
head. "No thanks... I'm fine... but thanks
anyways... you're sweet. G'night."
Matt sighed, and shook his head. She closed
her eyes again, and he once again slipped his
hand into her own. This time she didn't object,
since she was still actually awake. She
squeezed back a little and sighed herself,
contently. She fell asleep, and the dreams didn't
seem come back. It was only then, at 5:30
AM, that Matt fell asleep himself.
Matt woke up, but didn't open his eyes. He
went to squeeze Sora's hand, but found it not
there anymore. He immediatly opened his eyes,
and saw that she was no longer on her
little spot on the floor. It was then that
he felt something warm on the back of his neck.
He slowly flipped over, and found Sora snuggled
up next to him. He smiled, and looked
over at his alarm clock. Only 8:32 AM, and
today was Saturday. He didn't have to be up
until noon, because he had agreed to meet
Izzy, Joe, and Cody at a diner in town by two.
He put his arm around Sora's waist and kissed
her forehead. Having her so close was
surprisingly comfortable, and felt nice. But...
she was just a friend... right?
